if this is the case, they should say “won’t” rather than “can’t” “Waymo won’t avoid bike lanes…” would be much more accurate. obviously the can’t part would be nonsense. they can avoid lanes where traffic flows the opposite direction so ob

sounds like it just uses ublocks lists. though it doesn’t seem to work as well as ublock, the ad slots are still there with just the ad missing so there’s a giant ugly blank spot.

I disagree whole heartedly. The organizations should absolutely have the choice to price tickets to their events however much they choose. And they should have recourse for people who choose to ignore their wishes. Its their product. Why

it should be illegal to insinuate unlimited when it isn’t unlimited. that said, it’s become so normalized by now for companies to basically lie what they’re giving to you, so ultimately there isn’t a whole lot you can do. my grandpa used to

it isn’t ok to attack people. whether this way or in slow motion mass attacks on people. an attack on a society that lasts years is still an attack and i wish the collective we would realize this. “it’s ok if millions suffer now for me to r

yeah, it doesn’t a lot of thought to realize that societies thrived when they were… social. this has been repeated throughout history. the people who go off into the woods as uber survivalists or whatever die alone and forgotten from an in

i’m sorry, but no, starlink is not comparable to fiber. better than dsl? i mean, sure? but absolutely not even close to better than fiber. there’s a reason data centers in rural areas run fiber for miles and miles to their centers and aren

i was only using fiber as just one example. but in the case of fiber, there are plenty of non rural areas that still can’t get it and are stuck with terrible options. even so, even in rural areas, nothing at all stops them from hiring peop

i can say with a pretty high confidence level that few people in the free software movement want the closed off black boxes these companies are locking away. they’re not free in any sense of the word. from price to openness of the models.
