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.

It's always hard to tell if people are trolling or if they're really just that stupid.

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.

I don't want my connection to drop out every time something shades my device.

With the obvious restrictions on how things are placed I don't see why you wouldn't just use wired for speed and rf wireless for mobility.

I work in marketing and only recently realised how closed the internet has become. I've always held that social media can come and go, people can use messenger and Twitter and Snapchat and insta all they like but email is a always a leveller that always works - then I found out about sending reputation. There's a reason no one uses their own mail servers anymore, if you set up an email server on your own hardware then there's a good chance that your emails won't make it to the recipients behind spam filters. Basically, if you want to send emails now then you need to do it through an established service.

Threads has not launched in Europe because it breaks European laws. Yet 100M people jumped straight on it.

There's a street light outside my house, I swear I'm going to open the hatch and install a gpo if I ever get an electric car.

Some places you're not supposed to plug anything in unless it's tested and tagged. Unlikely to be an issue in a public area, but if you're somewhere that the power getting tripped would be a safety issue then best to ask first.

I don't really get what the hate was for Google+, it was better than the alternative/competitor at the time (Facebook)

He's Australian, we're used to getting screwed on pricing for everything.

I think I've learned over the years that I can like almost anything, and although I'm more likely to like music from my favourite genres, it's possible I'll like anything.

The most recent example I can think is that an artist I like did a cover/colab of Unholy by Sam Smith and after listening a couple of times I listened to the original and found I actually prefer that.

I also like things which are borderline not music, like The Shaggs.

I'm getting around this by having no posters or subscribers on the community I created.
