In the US, reversing cameras have been mandatory since 2018, and in the EU since 2024, so any new car sold there will need a display for the camera output. I wonder if the law specified a minimum display size and resolution, otherwise a car

I use Vivaldi, sadly it's based on Chromium and has quite a bit of the stinky parts... (Currently on an old Vivaldi version that still allows manifest v2.. I guess I'm asking to be pwned)

Fucking hell, they modified Chrome/ium to pop up an application dialog (it's not just somr HTML inside the web page) to "log-in using Google".. fuck Google! Maybe next they'll get Chrome to automatically turn on you

I somehow want to make a brick and mortar shop with products with 5-digit price tags and the famous brands, but they're all fake, and visitors can pick and choose all the fancy products they want. They can then go to the cashier and g

God damn, the AI-generated pics. Well, since it's a site for Artificial Food Ordering, why not use AI images. I wonder how Baudrillard would think about all this.

Some argue that another form of climate denial is the denial that we're headed for certain doom. Of course it's an easy cop-out, to say "well the planet's doomed anyway, let's book those flights to the Maldives! (Be
