These things are programmed by impatient, wreckless, human, drivers.....

I cant believe they allow these things on our roads as a public beta test.

Neutral, non-american here... And i do believe that trump needs to be defeated but...

Why is it when republicans raise millions people say "politics is corrupted by money!!"

But when the dems rake in $300M its framed as a good thing?

Just dont connect it to the internet.

That's what i do with my OLED screen. It acts as a monitor for my HTPC. I dont use any of the apps on the TV

There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it.

Too many smug people think, "advertising doesnt work on me! Hah! Only weak minded normies fall for it..."

Wrong.... Advertising works. And that's the reason a shit ton of money that goes into it.

You want to know the reason why i run adblockers in my browser AND DNS levels? Because i KNOW advertising works on me.... i KNOW i'm not smart enough to outsmart the army of engineers, and copywriters generating this stuff.

Source: i work in advertising lol

I've bought and paid for every civ game since civ3...

I even paid for civ4 twice. Boxed CD and on steam.... And now you're going to treat me like a criminal with shitty DRM??? Welp, i guess i'm not buying Civ7, Sid...

No more turns....

I assume moderating the reviews would be a significant challenge for the project.

Are google maps reviews even moderated? I've found them to be complete trash for years now

Just bots and influencers giving 5 or 1 star reviews for everything

Whats the noise level if the car is driving at a reasonable speed in the city?

I imagine it's only excessively noisy if they are showing off, revving the engine, and/or streeet racing

The more you shop at dollar stores, the more money you waste.

And the more waste goes to the garbage.... This is why the earth is on fire

This isnt freeware.

"Free" in free software is free like free speech, not free as in beer.

This is one of the places where english fails. Libre vs gratis

This is not an OS behaviour. KDE is a desktop environment.

If it bothers you so much, remove the DE and use the command line, full time

2 weeks until my boston qualifying attempt. All the hard training is done now. Time to taper and recover for race day.

Probably the worst part of the training block for me. Just taking it easy, feeling like i'm losing fitness.

Well thats kind of the point of my statement about "it's 2024"

I understand game AI is a complex problem. But it seems like we havent made any progress since civ3.... And we're right in the middle of an AI hype cycle... Can we not use AI for something useful like games? Instead of just making deepfakes, disinformation, and firing workers?

My niece has an old iphone with no SIM/phone number. Only wifi internet access.

Looking for an app for both of us to be able to chat

She cant chat with me over signal because no phonee number. She chats with the rest of the family over imessage, but i have an android phone

Is there an app available for both android and iphone to let me chat with her?

Thanks

Edit: willing to self-host for extra privacy. My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels

 

I'm looking to qualify for boston (M41, 3:10 for my age group)

Current PR is 3:20

Is having a coach worth my money and their time? I have no delusions of being an elite runner. Is coaching a good tool for my current level?

 

i guess i just experienced one of the biggest downsides to the fediverse that people have been talking about. instance suddenly disappeared with no warning. i guess i've lost my follow list
