It's really location dependent. Some places you'll see the birds in seconds and others never. You'll need to know the climate, local weather, soil conditions, what else is growing in the area, time of year, etc. to get an accurate answer.
It would be whatever is negotiated in the personality rights contract. I think voice actors have a union so I could see a standardized contract negotiated by the union.
I don't think there is a way native to Lemmy for a mod to do that. You would have to talk to the instance admin you are on to defederate them at the moment. This might change in the future.
What you might be able to do is see if anyone has made a mod bot yet. Then you could configure the bot to ban anyone who posts from instances you don't like. So reactive bans instead of preemptive.
I've seen the first couple bots pop up so I would expect to see a mod bot pretty soon.
Correct no need to form a union for resistance.
Unions just have special protected legal protection that could be utilized in a legal battle or to threaten legal battles in order to get concessions.
Right now all there is is the threat of lawsuits, that Reddit will probably win, in order to threaten more lawsuits. The negotiation power to get concessions there is limited at best.
"Oil deliveries to Pakistan have begun. There is no special discount; for Pakistan, it is the same as for other buyers," Russian state media quoted Shulginov as telling reporters on the sidelines of an international economic conference in St. Petersburg.
That's not what economists are usually talking about with discounts in this context. When talking about oil, or any commodity discount, it typically means against a baseline product. For oil you compare to the price of Brent. Think of it as the price difference between buying generic vs name brand at a grocery store.
There's no details on the actual trade in the articlebut comparing Urals vs Brent shows it's still trading at a roughly 20% discount today vs the ~2% discount preconflict.
I actually think the article titled misses the bigger part of the story.
agreed to accept Chinese currency as payment
I would expect increased trade between the three countries of this becomes the norm.
I'm not seeing any serious suggestions of that there. Looks more like hypothetical talk.
I actually had a similar thought to that yesterday. Could moderators be classified as employees for the work they do?
I think you would have a massive uphill struggle to argue Reddit's moderators are employees in court. Without that no back pay and no union.
Ah the classic "I'm trans better tell everyone. Wait maybe I'm not. Nope definitely I am better tell everyone again."
"I refuse (voiceover) work that states they'll take my voice and make an AI model from it," voice actor Brad Ziffer told CNBC. "The best way to protect myself is to just stay away."
As you should. There is a big difference between narrating and giving away personality rights.
But the article kind of negates the title.
However, experts say seamlessly replicating the way a human talks with AI is still a ways away. Human beings offer unique intonation, cadence, and emotion when they speak.
Voice artist narration for big title releases isn't going away anytime soon. And if it does the job is going to be replaced with technical/artistic jobs fine tuning the generated narration.
What I actually see happening in the short term is it becoming profitable to do generative narration of smaller authors and books that would be profitable using traditional voice work.
In time I could see this working it's way up the budget ladder into larger projects but that's still a way off.
