Nebula might be the answer for you. A low annual fee means every video you watch gives a portion of that fee to the artist.

These rules are convoluted and near impossible to apply. Specific braking speeds for some objects compared to others? That requires reliable computer vision, which hasn’t been demonstrated anywhere yet.

And those speeds? 92mph is 148kph! Why the fuck are cars even permitted to be capable of that when no road in the country allows it? And why would you want to introduce unpredictable braking scenarios at such speeds?

What is feasible is a speed limiter based on the posted limit, but that’d be too practical.

Thanks for posting this! I have the same router.

I love this. I can just imagine them paying poor people to drive and protest in their place too.

Ah yeah, I remember a moment like that in DS9, where Sisko is lamenting the crew’s interest in a holosuite program set in the 50s because of how “our people” were treated back then. It always felt out of place for me, though DS9 is still my favourite Star Trek.

Can you give some examples of this? Admittedly I didn’t much care for Discovery and didn’t pay a lot of attention through it as a result, but I’m not picking up what you’re laying down ;-)

I’m not saying that she’s blameless, rather that a design of straight roads and traffic lights ensured that this was going to happen. If it wasn’t an old lady speeding, it would have been a dumb teen on their phone, or a middle-aged man “trying to catch the yellow”. If the road allows for dangerous driving, kids are going to die on it.

Congratulations, you’ve put an old woman behind bars. Who wants to bet that they haven’t fixed the street design in the last 4 years to actually prevent this from happening again? Are we to assume that prison is a deterrent here?

I mean, sure, she killed two kids, she should go to jail, but any street design that would permit the sort of driving that makes killing those kids accidentally is more at fault than the unlucky idiot behind the wheel.

The minute you automate someone’s job, you do necessarily admit that society doesn’t need that person’s work to get by. The only reason they shouldn’t get to put their feet up and take it easy is political. And politically, we have decided instead what happens is they die.

I have been trying for years to put this into words when discussing capitalism & technology, but I’ve never come across something so succinct. Thank you.

This line of reasoning is broadly underrated. Sure batteries are a thing, but if a liveable world means regular brown outs, I’m cool with it. The alternative after all is so much worse.

Voyager: One Small Step

It’s one of my top ten favourites, but it’s also a very typical “one off” story.

I don’t understand. Surely if you’ve got a limited amount of water in the lake, drawing that water from a shallow well reduces the available water by the same amount as it would from the lake itself?

Has anyone managed to get AM2R working on the Deck? I was thinking of trying it out next.

That was lovely, thank you!

Heh. We’ve convinced our kids that Paw Patrol and Cocomelon “don’t work on our TV”. All I had to do was let her select it a few times and then kill the network connection when she wasn’t looking. After that, we marked them as “disliked” in Netflix and now they never appear.

It may not last, but I’m doing what I can :-)

Snowfl has some pretty good results (note the addition of the keyword complete). But you can do a lot better than Paw Patrol! “Bluey”, “The Owl House”, “Hilda”, and “Kipo and the age of the Wonderbeasts” are all far better choices for kids and your own sanity ;-)

Mozilla’s VPN is just reselling Mullvad, so you can support Mozilla and use Mullvad at the same time if you like.

You might want to consider just Dockerising everything. That way, the underlying OS really doesn’t matter to the applications running.

I’ve got a few Raspberry Pi’s running Debian, and on top of that, they’re running a kubernetes cluster with K3s. I host a bunch of different services, all in their own containers (effectively their own OS) and I don’t have to care. If I want to change the underlying OS, the containers don’t know either. It’s pretty great.

I am very disappointed to hear that the bricks are foam.
