I don't think anyone seriously thinks you can actually get rid of cars entirely, but rather they're annoyed that everything is built around the idea that you drive everywhere. This is damaging to the environment, human health, and probably even stifles community and culture.
Cost of living pressures that are the fault of a worldwide pandemic, a war on the other side of the world, neoliberal policies, and policies that the LNP brought in and actively fought against reforming (capital gains reforms, inheritance tax, degradation of Medicare, etc)
Get fucked Voldemort.
No idea, but I refuse to use it on principle. They are still some small communities in Reddit that I stay part of, but I come to Lemmy first.
They spent most of the 20th century telling us that Russia was the biggest threat to the world. 25 years later Russia starts invading its neighbouring countries and the halfwits are taking the Russian side.
This is hardly surprising. It's immediately noticeable in images, but we'll have to be very careful with other forms of output as the decline could be subtle enough to go unnoticed at first. There's a very real risk of poisoning our sources of data by allowing AI to write back to them without oversight. And given that the sources of data seem to be things like Reddit and twitter this is a real concern.
At a time when they're ramping up interest rates to fight inflation you'd think they'd be happy to have people working from home, driving less, eating out less, and supporting their local community businesses.
Of course that's if they were rational.
You can buy little IR blasters that plug into the USBC port on your phone and allow you to use it as a remote control. Turn off every TV you see playing sky.
Every little bit helps.
They're also good for turning off Keno TVs.
I don't really get what the hate was for Google+, it was better than the alternative/competitor at the time (Facebook)
Because lots of productivity tasks, including coding, involve looking at a reference material while creating the output. I'm frequently looking at a database structure on one window, an API document on another, and coding in an IDE.
You don't necessarily need two screens, but it helps to have enough real estate to view two or more applications at once. Personally I use a 50" 4k TV and tile things in halves or quarters - which is the equivalent of having four 1080 monitors.
This is turning into a pretty decisive time in social media where we have the opportunity and momentum to move back to open systems. 🤞
Great, another sport I can be picked last for.
Imagine thinking those were bad things! That's close to 50% of the US voting population (and I'd like to pretend it was only them, but the rest of the world isnt necessarily better).
How the fuck did we get here? Actually scratch that, i know that humans are greedy, tribal animals who are driven by biological urges only sometimes obscured by higher level thought. The bigger question is how the fuck did we manage to make it as far as we have?
