Because the engineers aren’t in charge anymore

I don’t even need to read the rest of the thread, this HAS to be the dumbest take. And I think cryptocurrency is inherently a pyramid scheme.

If Meta had ever wanted this to stay in the EU the system would have been designed as Opt-In, not Opt-Out.

This was always going to get pushback.

Should? Definitely, but let’s be realistic, we can barely get people off of coal and oil right now.

In the world we live in, Dams have some of the lowest environmental impact compared to the other places we get our energy.

So we probably shouldn’t be trying to phase them out while there are much more severe effects being felt from the other base load facilities.

It’s such a milquetoast warning, mostly because the science just isn’t there yet. And by the time it is, any damage will be done.

So it’s not entirely clear what the hell we should do, but it’s probably not a knee jerk reaction.

you can just disable it

This is not actually true. Google re-enables it and does not have an account setting to disable AI results. There is a URL flag that can do this, but it’s not documented and requires a browser plugin to do it automatically.
