Gotta say, I’m appreciating the comments on this post a lot more this time around - last time this was posted there was a lot of anti-leashing sentiment.
I’m just trying to figure out - did the people on Lemmy change? Is it the time of day? Pretty sure it’s the same community as before!
Seizure, maybe?
I don’t disagree, but I’ve also been wondering how much very high quality medical care is throwing off those guesses
Tech savvy groups have always included a significant amount of well established people unhappy with how technology is being implemented or used - who then, yes, yell at clouds. Hell, a lot of us still literally yell about the Cloud.
Paraphrasing a management quote I found a few decades ago - if the engineers aren’t complaining about something, it’s not because they’re happy. It means they’re complaining where you can’t hear them.
Or, as the SME on it, you can offer paid support for it
I mean, for half a billion years, the Earth’s surface was largely molten. Earth’ll be fiiiine…
Seriously, we’re getting as hot as it’s ever been while humans were around, and the change is accelerating.
(edit - got -> hot)
Okay, so… Aside from the creepy terrifying robot thing, what’s happening in this picture? Is that a door with a full plate glass window… in a wall between two hallways? Is the bot just standing in a large empty room staring through a door without opening it?
I understood that to mean Jankatarch understood you to be insinuating that. That J thought you were saying Mamdani would cycle the money through charities he owns, rather than taking the money and donating the raise amount to charities (which I assume you meant?)
Status bar? I see the opening in the back of the case for the for the camera, but no status bar.

Nah, if a cop charges her for that, she’d be right to contest it. Maybe it had fallen, and she tucked it in her lap to let her get safely clear of traffic before stowing it properly. Doesn’t matter if it’s likely or not, the burden of proof is on the accuser, and it’s not met here.
Let’s not let the police assume lawbreaking without clear proof, and lets especially not let them automate that accusation process!
Okay - so charge her with having an unsecured object in her vehicle.
The fine was for use of a phone while driving, when the phone was not in use. Not for having unsecured items in the vehicle. Not saying it’s a good idea to drive that way - it’s pretty clearly not - but that’s not the actual issue here
Doesn’t seem to matter. This lady got a massive ticket without any evidence of anybody being bothered by her
Her phone was face down, she wasn’t looking at it that we can see. All we know here is her hands were on the wheel, she was in her lane, and she wasn’t looking at her phone right then. Anything else is speculation without evidence.
The things that need professionalism seem like things that could pay for the non-branded version, though?
That was what got me off - I kept feeling like I had to scroll much farther back to see the updates from friends I missed past what FB decided I should see, until I decided Facebook had made it no longer worth the effort
Not a fan of Robin Hood, then?
The moment you start selectively deciding who is and isn’t a thief is the moment the justice system starts breaking down.
Isn’t this exactly what a jury of your peers is intended for? So people - the members of the affected community - can decide who is and isn’t a thief, after ensuring they’re provided with all the facts of the case?
The difference is that the data centers aren’t part of the community. They’re invasive, coming in to steal the water and power and spoil the area with heat and noise. The locals have no say or control over them.
Turning a blind eye towards damage done to them is a form of self defense.
Not sure if this is what they were talking about, but there are some Costcos that only sell to businesses. Have a bit of an uproar where I live because one downtown is switching to that, and there’s not many other grocery options in the area.
