It's not just Nissan drivers, and it's not just younger people, but younger people are definitely the most egregious. I do roll my eyes when they're in a Nissan missing the front bumper though

Drivers on their phones scare the living shit out of me. I've driven across America way too many times, and there are a lot of people on the interstate that are texting or just browsing the internet while they drive at full speed.

This isn't really Tesla specific. I've been in a handful of rental cars that had the infotainment system crash. Which wouldn't be a huge problem if they hadn't eliminated all the physical buttons to do basically anything

Assuming what you're saying is true, this is the kind of thing 2A was written for. I don't mean for you personally, but for society it's really the last line of defense against a rogue government. But, even if your story is t

I would have ordered a dump truck full of popcorn for that. In a similar vein, Russia should never have got USSR's UN security council seat.

So I paid $1000 for a Pixel 9 Pro 1TB, then Syncthing wasn't able to keep maintaining their android app because of Google, and now Google wants to block me from using F-Droid. Google, you've fucked me in the ass for the last godda

Slightly tangential, but does anyone know of a good layman's book on thermodynamics? I'm interested in the science and the history of it, but I'm not really trying to do a deep dive into the math -- I wasn't bad in stats

Well, maybe.

Reminds me of those Army recruitment commercials from a few years back that were advertising their psyops as a career path.

...and it's unlikely the police or three-letter organizations would cut off one of their main sources of information by enforcing laws against them.

I bet they've got lower rates of hep than America, but that probably doesn't have anything to do with the kimchi.

I remember about 10 or 15 years ago somebody pointed out that a big chunk of the GNOME devs used Apple laptops, even at public appearances, and it answered a lot of my questions about the state of the project. (and I say this as a user of G

More made up problems for a fundamentally inept government to solve because fixing real problems like a broken healthcare system is hard and not a guaranteed political win. Thanks Starmer, you're a worthless turd and no different than

Linux clipboards have been a pain point to me for decades. What I really want is a single unified clipboard daemon that works across different login sessions and covers console and graphical environments with the same keyboard shortcut. Bon

Same thing has been happening for a long time in America. Politicians are typically risk adverse and the real world has complicated problems so they make up a 'virtual' problem to 'fix', or to turn into a new political

Yes, but I can never find what I'm looking for again because I don't organize them myself and Firefox mobile's bookmark search is bordering on unusable. Sorting by date doesn't seem to work at all and I can't find a

You ever try to mail something to or from a developing or semi developed country? You'll be lucky if you ever see it again, let alone have to deal with import controls.

Airlines have either lost my checked bag or just stolen from it too many times for me to trust them with my possessions again. Maybe if I was transporting horse manure, or unpackaged glitter.

I've always wanted to create a blog "platform" that's just plaintext or markdown files in a git repo hosted over a torrent-like network. By publishing, you automatically sign every post (commit) with a key, the fingerpri

I believe the Royal Society in particular had strong connections to the so-called Rosicrucians, or at least were very interested in the texts. It's likely no such group ever really existed, but the learned men of the day seem to have t

Francis Yates is also a fun introduction to the history of hermeticism and alchemy through a historian's perspective, and how it contributed to the creation of science.

It's almost like the corporate culture of being a bunch of greedy control freaks will push customers away when they have an alternative.

Chain of thought is just a way of trying to squeeze more juice out of the lemon of LLM's; I suspect we're at the stage of running up against diminishing returns and we'll have to move to different foundational models to see a

Security is worth half a shit these days and Five Eyes can't remotely access everybody's phone without it getting noticed by people. So they need to keep transport insecure.
