  • This is why all cars would be better if they took the tires off and just used bare metal rims on the pavement. That might be hard to control though so maybe we should create metal grooves in the road so they can follow their tracks. And at that point we could just automate the whole thing and people wouldn't need to drive for themselves

  • When people are having a conversation entirely about animal flesh with you there, what do you say?

    Jump

  • Yeah. For better or worse you are correct. I used to be really feisty about this stuff back in the day, but never once have I managed to convince someone to go vegan by arguing with them.

  • Americans rarely refer to the US as America

    Jump

  • In Canada we usually refer to you guys as "the States"

  • School speed limits shouldn't exist

    Jump

  • That's not what OP is saying.

    So I suggest instead of having these limits be conditional school speed limits, they should just be the normal limits all the time. It wouldn’t hurt people to slow down when kids aren’t present, so just make the speed limit reduced all the time on roads around the school.

    They still want to slow down. That said you are correct that this means they wouldn't need to read the sign.

  • Canada sidesteps UN scrutiny over assisted dying

    Jump

  • I know that I might get downvoted for saying this, but I think the UN is right on this one. We should stop expanding this program.

    The federal government has been considering expanding MAiD so that people with mental illness as their only underlying medical condition could qualify.

    Am I the only one that thinks this is going too far? I thought it was generally considered a good thing that, if someone is suffering from suicide ideation, you talk them off the ledge. That's why we have suicide prevention programs, suicide hotlines, etc. This seems like a reversal of this attitude. It's saying, "oh, you're depressed, and you want to kill yourself? Okay, let's make that easier for you." This is not healthcare.

    We also need to consider how this impacts marginalized communities, like for example Inuit communities in Nunavut, where suicide is considered a crisis .

  • Humans dominate the world because we can focus our attention really well. That's our big power from which all the science and engineering flow.

  • Yes. Also, what does this have to do with shrooms and weed?

  • Is browser preference a personality flaw? AI job interview evaluation raises questions— AI said applicant's 'habitual' Chrome use could indicate a 'lack of adaptability' after screening interview

  • You put an /s there but I can think of no other explanation for why an LLM might do this

  • Any experience with Zulip (and some other questions)?

  • As far as I can tell, Signal can’t do multiple text channels in the same way discord can. Migrating a Discord ‘server’ onto a Signal chat would only work if it were a small group. Anything bigger than that would basically just give you a really big and disorganized group chat (though it would at least be a private disorganized group chat).

  • Amazon Ring’s Super Bowl ad sparks backlash amid fears of mass surveillance

    Jump

  • Technically in the ad it was the children’s pet. So they’ve managed to do a two-in-one and hit both demographics

  • How Did the FBI Get Nancy Guthrie's Nest Doorbell Footage?

    Jump

  • Yeah, and not only are they recording, but they’re recording for a reason. Video files aren’t cheap, they wouldn’t be storing them unless they thought they were getting something out of it. It could be for AI model training or for targeted add or something, or both, who knows. But whatever they are using it for its still a bit unnerving to know they probably are using it for something.

  • it's been a week

  • Throughout my daily use, I noticed something peculiar. I was using my phone less and less.

    You’re not the first person I’ve heard say this after installing graphene OS. Why do you think this is? Is it just because you don’t have social media apps installed?

  • I had a random (probably dumb) idea: Given the whole Discord Drama going on, what if there was a Discord alternative, but in the style of Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Matrix is better than IRC for most uses because it can save chat history but IRC can’t

  • We also need to keep trying to diversify our trade. Even if things go back to normal the US has shown us that they are unstable economic partners

  • Shooter’s mother, sibling among victims in Tumbler Ridge shooting. Live updates here.

    Jump

  • Not just the family, the entire community will carry this with them for life. Tumbler Ridge is not a big place. In small towns like that everybody knows everybody 

  • In case you need a reminder

  • I agree with you wholeheartedly. But in this case I one of the two trolls was spamming pornographic images, in which case I don’t think theres any issue with blocking 

  • Bunnings Australia wins legal fight to use AI facial recognition in stores

  • They only scan for faces of known offenders based on previous entanglements.

    How does the system know who’s an offender and who isn’t without scanning their face first?

  • Is it just me has there been a lot of Spam and abuse on Lemmy lately?

    Jump

  • Try piefed, one of its main draws is that it has more tools to deal with spam

  • It’s definitely a bad look for politicians to be paid super high salaries, but it’s actually a good way to curb corruption. Because financial struggles are a major motivation for turning to bribes. If you look at high corruption countries such as Mexico, you’ll see that they pay their public servants so little that they basically have to accept bribes to make ends meet. But thats not the case here, because we pay our public servants high salaries.
