Our group includes the Teenage Mutant Turtles, so you’re not entirely wrong.

Cowabunga, dude!

It depends on what I’m hitting it with.

I could definitely hit one with a truck harder than with a golf club.

I suspect it will only because every single furry on YouTube seems to be trying to get the entire fandom to move from Twitter to BlueSky. You know we run the internet.

Is there any video chat service that isn’t? It seems every single one has some glaring issue that makes it a pain to use. And it’s not like I could just use a FOSS thing that’s better; this is one of those things where you are kinda limited to using what everyone else you’re going to be talking to is using. :(

If I didn’t use the platform to also read the news and just talked about games or looked at memes, I might do the same. But I’m not going to block instances of “Trump” or “Vance” or “Musk” because knowing what those fuckwads are doing is kind of important.

Blocking assholes being assholes is one thing; blocking someone who isn’t being an asshole but simply disagrees with you is another.

Put it in the frame of real life. Are you going to totally cut off a family member or friend just because they said 1 minor thing you don’t agree with?

Because they have enough people that they can just start climbing each other to get there? 🤔

Anyone still left on Reddit is either too ignorant about the alternatives to Reddit to even have an opinion or is actively trying to keep people on Reddit for Reddit.

As more of an outside observer here:

When I was still using Reddit, it looked like most people in that community were just running personal home media servers using basic as fuck raspberry pi setups or just old hardware that could handle it, like maybe a modded Xbox or something.

Here on Lemmy, it looks more like you’re all actual networking specialists hosting damn near everything from home automation to business-level server systems for your home business. You guys are serious; Reddit isn’t. Respect.

Isn’t Lemmy.World based in the US?

Edit: huh. Netherlands.

Do the passengers survive?

It would be absurd and an absolute show stopper if the car stopped for dark shadows.

That’s why they use LIDAR and not just visual cameras. They don’t need to know the difference between different objects; they just need to know an object is there, in the way, or even moving in a way that could potentially put it in the path of the vehicle.

They’re making it more complicated by working on both autonomous driving, and also image recognition for use by AI.

All the issues with self-driving could be solved if they actually gave a shit about making it work. You don’t let the machine choose. You give it hard fucking rules to follow. It doesn’t need to identify geese, human, ball, dog, child to react differently to each; it should see an obstruction and stop to avoid damaging the fucking object and car, regardless of what it is. They are making it way more complicated than it really has to be.

How much fucking harder/extra work is it to maintain a Linux version of something? God damn, I don’t even really use Linux outside of servers and I still think it’s bullshit how little support it gets because it’s like a Catch 22. Nobody works on it because nobody uses it; but nobody uses it because nobody works on it! (For gaming, anyway)

It’s amazing how much actual change this one piece of hardware has done to bolster Linux’s share of things, but it’s still also just kind of a drop in the bucket.

On .ml of all instances lol

Don’t like moderators? Fine, try to host your own instance and your own communities. You’ll find quickly that it turns to shit because it’s actually pretty hard to do well.

Not really. You’ll just always have to deal with people who hate you because they wanna break the rules and hate facing the consequences. That isn’t hard. It’s just annoying.

It especially wouldn’t be hard if you hate “censorship” and let everyone just say whatever they want, even if they’re bigoted pieces of shit and posting CSAM. You literally just do nothing. Doing nothing is easy!

You’d think, as a terminally online person and a moderator (not just here but I was one on some Reddit communities, too), I’d run into the super awful shit like CP once in a while. I haven’t accidentally stumbled onto shit like that since I was, like, 15 and the Internet was like the Wild West.

I don’t really think that’s all moderators doing. There’s a ton of automation in a lot of shit now that can detect CP and other illegal content and prevent it from showing up. The humans doing the job tend to be the most literal-minded dipshits that can’t grasp the concept of context, satire, or sarcasm.

Makes sense as developers probably got sick of helping their family fix simple issues that were just slightly more work than pressing a single button.

I definitely would want an Atlas over the Teslabot even as a surrogate. It would fucking suck to fall down and actually have to leave your house to get back up again.

Now, I’ve no love for Musk or his BS but I keep hearing that they were actors in costumes, yet they were actually remote controlled robots, like you might see at a theme park. If instead of trying to pass them off as automatonomous, AI driven robots, they were to market them as surrogates (like the movie) and focused on longer range remote connections for them that would be far less stupid. They might even sell if they weren’t associated with a dumbass.
