This is excellent news! Shut down this alternative avenue of justice for the rich, that is using money to kill our planet.

Uh so I suppose the Israel is tragically accidenting its way through Rafah then?

The USA is probably wanting Israel to see the tragic accident campaign in Gaza to completion.

I hate suns with the passion of 1000 leaf blowers.

Sorry, I just had to.

also sometimes hardware drivers or other features are missing

You make a good point, and I tried to encompass that in the quoted part of my comment. Stuff like fingerprint sensors is one thing, not having your video card supported is kind of difficult to put up with, admittedly.

I’m willing to accept, that without a “mentor” Linux is hard to get setup for someone on their own.

For someone resourceful, they can ask every question and hopefully find the relevant Linux answers online, sometimes make a few mistakes but eventually figure it out.

Some users who are decent with computers and Windows might find some Linux things harder to use, and also sometimes hardware drivers or other features are missing. If they aren’t willing to put up with it to get away from Microsoft spyware then I respect that choice.

For users that need help setting up Windows to begin with from their “computer guy” that get flustered anytime something goes the way they didn’t expect, Linux actually can be a little lower maintenance. Have all the apps they need in an obvious place, have the system either update automatically or have them do it once every while. Linux has been very stable in my experience for that type of user too.

I think part of it was the stress of the grindset that Linus running the show was getting all the staff into. Pushing out content at a regular schedule, getting sponsorships and all of that.

The whole GN saga with data accuracy and the donated cooler that made LMG look inward for a bit and improve their process was for the best I think.

The investigation to me is just one element making sure LMG weren’t getting off on the wrong foot.

I think the complainant wasn’t wrong or defamatory at all to bring up concerns because even in LTT’s channel there was a video where the front and center stars of the team comment on how stressful things can be. When there’s an implicit hierarchy imbalance (Linus can say “we’re all equals here” all he wants) but fact is there’s a leadership structure in one way or another, which can cause one to take certain treatment in different ways.

In Japanese news, I’ve heard that elders are more vulnerable to it because they are not as sensitive to the harmful levels of heat, so it feels fine but they end up with heat stroke due to not putting on air conditioners or fans and getting enough water.

A source for claim in Japanese

1. An older person’s body has a lower percentage of water
2. Less sensitive to heat and thirst
3. Ability to sweat and dispel heat is lower

That’s what I’m going for. The way to win against big tech is to not play their game.

trains as a long string of semi-trucks

So many long distance delivery trucks take the same route across the country. Why don’t we just string them all together, then have one big-ass truck engine in the front pulling it all? And to save on how big the motor needs to be, we’ll have steel on steel contact to reduce friction. Whoops, you’ve got a train all of a sudden. 😅

flashing red lights treated like a stop sign

Seems kind of dangerous to treat as a rule. Not just at railroad crossing but a stopped car with hazards on or a firetruck might confuse the self driving module…

Hmm yeah it seems the oncoming movement from the side may throw it off somehow.

One of the many forseeable problems with solely relying on cameras and visual processing.

At this point I know that data on my thoughts, opinions and interests is going to be out there one way or another. So I might as well share it with everyone on the Fediverse, via open, accessible platforms rather than wait for big tech to take it from me.

In Windows NT math, 6.3 = 8.1

Speculation here, I wonder if the ditch lights and general light placement that is different than a normal car confused the self driving module into thinking it’s on the wrong side of the road…?

That was like more than half the point of gold. Some random comment getting lots of gold would mean the recipient, in turn, could give out gold too.

Just use a Japanese Train Conductor Bed that automatically makes you sit up!

It could have been £300 and you will still complain and be the sucker for paying for that. Is the seller obligated to ship to you at a price of £2?

You could probably shop around a bunch of Oxfams to (maybe) get the book you wanted for cheap. Or you could also find discounted books at the Oxfam and list them for just £1 or 2 above the sticker price. Is that worth your time?

Like I get being upset at institutional practices like soft drinks costing companies a handful of pence per item when they charge £2.50 (or £4.50 at the cinema), and being stingy on the refills. Books on the other hand are a luxury item that (other than the textbook racket by publishers) you can go without.

If 18 year olds can vote, drive a lorry, a bus and other jobs like that, they shouldn’t need to disqualify people at that age to drive trains.
