This was my first thought. When I learned how to drive, the rule was one car length per 10 mph. So at highway speeds of 70, that would be 7 car lengths of space to ensure enough distance to safely stop or avoid a collision. I see approximately 0% of people following this rule nowadays, and while I try to maintain it myself, it often results in a stream of vehicles merging in front of me and messing up my distance. Fun times.

Replaced on old windows install on living room media pc with popOS. Newer hardware, just didn’t make sense to run such a vulnerable and outdated os any more and I wasn’t about to pay for a new windows version for it. A few choice apps linked in the dock, and the main streaming websites bookmarked on homepage in the browser, and we are golden. No issues making the switch really, apart from occasional Bluetooth hiccups with the combo wireless keyboard/trackpad that drives everything. To be fair, Bluetooth occasionally has a meltdown on windows or Mac as well, so I don’t think this detracts from a successful conversion. The end result is actually much more stable and approachable for the whole fam, so quite happy with results.

I mean…it’s still the best ffdshow wrapper imho

lol oh yeah, Biden’s red line is like 50 miles back in the rear view by now. Easy to forget when he keeps rushing them billions and billions of dollars, while US infrastructure falls apart at home due to climate disaster. Neat!

Welp, time to go outside for the day. Gross!

Afaik this is precisely what the captcha data was intended for - training AI models. Originally leveraged machine learning. LLMs are a slightly different paradigm but same purpose and results here.

Can confirm, absolutely toxic and miserable work environment based on firsthand anecdotes of colleagues.

Trump had 61 court cases alleging election interference and voter fraud, and every last one was immediately thrown out during discovery because he provided no evidence. Thankfully completely bullshit claims do still fall flat in the us justice system.

However, the fake electors scheme was a very real coups attempting to subvert democracy, and we have plenty of evidence on it. I’d love for Harris to appoint an aggressive AG who will work tirelessly to ensure this doesn’t happen again because of the consequences for treason.

Gah, I knew it! Curse you deep state!!

Why is nobody finding the “Autist Autocracy” interesting as well?!

JFC, win_blows_.

Historically a ceasefire means to stop killing, and it is considered broken if hostilities resume.

Baking in the resumption of hostilities is essentially negotiating for peace in bad faith. This has been Netenyahu’s strategy from the start, because he knows an end to the war means an end to his reign of power.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to return here with this response. Massive respect to you for doing so. I trust we’re both enjoying the fresh wave of momentum resulting from the turn of events, and am excited to join you on Nov 5 to vote =] cheers!

One can only pound so many McDonald cheeseburgers in accordance with their identity before it begins to have an effect.

lol!

lmao even.

Ah yes, the “Twin Towers”

No…there is another!

Yep, this is good for Lemmy

First of all, I just want to acknowledge how humorous the point you’re making is given your name, Zek.

Second, I hear you. What I’m saying is that in the states we have seen a disturbing lack of interest in trust busting over the past 20-30 years, and it’s led to some ridiculous monopolization in some markets. Tech is definitely one area that suffers from this. You’re right that EU regulators could push back on this if they wanted to, but think about what that might mean if nvidia/intel decided to play hardball. We are presently in a golden age of AI where nvidia’s products are basically the mainstay of the entire market…it could really set the EU back competitively if they chose to refuse those products at this particular juncture. I think they would face enormous pressure to simply accept the deal, in this hypothetical.

Don’t be so sure about that.
