Again, if you’re too stupid to make sure the multiton hunk of metal is coming to a stop by all the other obvious visual markers, including watching it’s speed compared to stationary objects like signs and lampposts, then this won’t do shit. People needore aweness of their surroundings, not a bunch of lights and horns because people won’t pay attention.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 3 days ago:
If a car is braking it rides differently from one that isn’t. A car is normally rather level and leans “forward” when braking.
Besides that, YOU SHOULDNT GET IN FRONT OF ANYTHING YOU ARENT SURE IS STOPPING. If it’s moving fast enough that you need this, you shouldn’t be trying to get in front anyways.

Yeah, I don’t need to make friends to find stl files. A database with a lookup function will do fine.
- Comment on Federated 3d printing design hub like Thingiverse? 6 days ago:
Yes, because everything needs to be a social web. Fuck off with that nonsense. Sometimes a database just needs to be a database. The last thing we need is more echo chambers in every damn hobby.

You realize a bunch of instances have blocked/defederated Lemmy.world. exactly the kind of fragmentation I’d like to avoid.
This is a hard pass.
- Comment on Federated 3d printing design hub like Thingiverse? 1 week ago:
Exactly this. I don’t want to have to dig through 100 communities all spread out to find things. Not everyone needs “my own” whatever. You can be centralized and public. Federation is just another buzzword like blockchain.
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 1 week ago:
All these fancy answers and I’ll give you a real one: sidewalks and paved roads. Does it have fully paved roads and sidewalks? Urban. Does it have that and mostly houses? Suburban. Some/no sidewalks and the roads aren’t all paved or is done poorly? Small town/rural. It’s all about the concrete/asphalt to dirt/plants ratio.
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 3 weeks ago:
Agreed. About the only thing I would search Lemmy for is obnoxious Linux snobbery. That, they have on lock.

- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 5 weeks ago:
Well yeah, they have to move over the sensor loop. You can’t just place it in the center. It’s part of a process that happens as, you know, you pull up the the light. They are a little fancy.
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 5 weeks ago:
Yeah… Saying we don’t use them as much as… Freight. Try to keep up?
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 5 weeks ago:
You’re looking at a different issue. I’m referring to passenger trains vs freight trains and you’re talking about freight trains vs semi trucks. I’m saying that the rail we do have, we overwhelmingly use for freight. It’s the primary reason we still have trains today in the US.
In regards to percentage of freight shipped by rail vs other means, I believe you that semis take a ton of that.
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 5 weeks ago:
No, the subject is shipping cargo. Try to keep up.
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 5 weeks ago:
Yes, but “we will avoid trains no matter what” is blatantly false. It’s terrible, but it is our main method of shipping freight from ports to inland cities.
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 5 weeks ago:
Driverless does not meant unmonitored. Aside from numerous sensors, including door sensors, you really think if it suddenly slows to 0 mph at an unscheduled time/location that it’s not going to alert someone? “Hey, your freight just stopped transporting itself. Guess we should do nothing”. Aside from most of these being ready to be taken over by a remote driver if need be for liability and convenience reasons.
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 5 weeks ago:
Large neodymium magnet on the bottom will do it. Most are induction activated. They taught this in every motorcycle driving class I ever attended, along with the rules for legally running a red light.
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 5 weeks ago:
Except that nearly all US rail is for freight. We hate PASSENGER trains. We freaking love freight rail.

Yeah, this was cool until all the steps show it’s not “his brain”. It’s a genetic facsimile.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 month ago:
You keep missing the point so hard I think it’s intentional.
First off, necessary and recommended are two very different things. 4chan running for the last decade on outdated software with no backups is proof that you absolutely can run things without a backup. It’s not wise, but not REQUIRED.
Secondly, OP was up there acting like 5Tb is prohibitively expensive and is gonna keep instances from being made. As me and other hobbyist have pointed out, 5tb is a joke. Those of us running little bullshit servers have WAY more. So asking someone trying to set up a social media server to have 5TB is nothing. If that seems like a lot to you, then you shouldn’t even try because it’s clearly way beyond your depth.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 month ago:
You literally just described my Jellyfin, minus the raid because I don’t feel like setting it up. Think all in all I’m down about $1200 for it. Not thousands. You do realized a 12TB NAS drive is $200, right? Only reason my build cost as much is because I have a few 2TB ssds in there which were just leftovers from the PC anyways. I could’ve done it all for $500.
Off-site backup isn’t required. Nice, but not required at all. In the literal sense, you don’t need it. It’s good to have, but an extra.
So yeah, 5TB, literally the only metric I was discussing, isn’t much. Maybe in the future the person should say all the nuance and not “5TB is unreasonable for the average person”. It’s not. Plain and simple.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 month ago:
My Jellyfin is 6 times that… And my PC is double that… Seriously, this person thinks 5TB is a lot? Don’t we have SD Cards/Flash Drives this big now? I’d be WAY more concerned about the bandwidth requirements.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 months ago:
Ok, disagree. Show me that games aren’t better. Show me that they aren’t bigger with better graphics, more features, longer stories. Oh yeah, you can’t. So disagree all you want lol.
Also, I’ll just point out again with wages: ok, so cars, houses, everything else has gone up. So explain in economic terms why a luxury good shouldn’t too? I’ll wait. You’re arguing economics of society. That’s a much bigger issue. But please, explain. I’ll wait. I expect more than a few paragraphs, by the way.

So you have no reason to deserve it but entitlement. Gotcha. Thanks for articulating. Companies don’t owe you shit. As soon as you get that through your head a lot more will make sense. If companies owed you anything, we wouldn’t have micro transactions and season passes and all of that money grubbing bullshit. But did your outrage stop that? Nope. So go ahead and yell and scream and see what it does now.

Again, what’s it matter? A PS store game is limited to their platform. An Xbox store game is limited to their platform. A Steam game is…
Seeing a pattern? It’s irrelevant. Console exclusivity has always been a thing until modern times. But now we have cross play, something that never existed. So again, objectively better. Are some games still stuck to certain consoles, yeah. And that’s their porogative and frankly is the norm. So what? What reason do you have that you deserve it? You don’t.n you just want it.

Ummm Nintendo has a digital platform, so not sure what you’re on about that one.
And in regards to indie studios: then buy their games and stop complaining, duh. Like, if you know there’s all these amazing and cheap alternatives, why are you bitching about what Nintendo charges? No one’s forcing you. Go play something else. It’s really that easy.
Nintendo, love em or hate them, is like Disney. They want to curate a very specific image. Look up the invention of the Nintendo Seal of Approval and why that was such a big thing. Nintendo wants to be very specific thing and frankly doesn’t give a shit if you like it. If you dont, then you’re not their target audience. It’s really that simple. Their not catering to everyone, they’re catering to a specific group. If they want to charge a certain amount but you know it’ll be quality cus it’s Nintendo, then what’s the harm?
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 months ago:
Yes, but you can make the wages claim about EVEYTHING. House, cars, food haven’t gone down. Everything else went up. So why is this one luxury exempt?
And yes, because of globalization, a Steam Deck is cheaper than a NES was. That’s great! So why are you complaining when prices are objectively better than 1980? Like yeah, we made things better! And even with inflation, they’re cheaper!
So why are you complaining about a $20-30 increase when the math says you should have a $60 increase? That’s what I’m calling entitlement. We have it objectively better by every metric in video games, including cost, and people are throwing a fit over an increase that’s still below inflation.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 months ago:
Exactly, games back then were EXPENSIVE. Currently we live in luxury where you have hundreds of options. How does that not justify it costing more?
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 months ago:
Exactly. So then the number of sold units is only $$$ in their eyes, not a reason to be more efficient.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 months ago:
Lmao that’s a completely seperate issue between you and your employer. Has nothing to do with the value of the dollar.
Has inflation kept up with wages? No. Have prices gone up anyways? Hell yes. Only thing you can find under $1 anymore is Arizona Tea, and even that isn’t a guarantee.
But yes, complain that a luxury item has gone up in cost. You know, something not necessary. So no one needs to make sure “people can afford it”. The ones who can buy, will buy, and the numbers show overwhelmingly that they do.
