Why do we care if anyone has room to complain?
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 2 weeks ago:
How hard is this to understand. Women frequently feel unsafe with strange men in uncontrolled situations like alone in a car because men who are commonly bigger and stronger commonly beat and rape women. Men who are on average bigger and stronger are very rarely assaulted or raped by strange women because women are both less physically imposing and are less prone to violence and most specifically sexual violence. Whereas its not impossible or unheard for a woman to be so this is so uncommon it is rarely something people are reasonably concerned about either factually or culturally.
Did I really need to tell you any of that or did you in fact already know that. The whiners here do NOT want men to be equal and have the ability to chose men drivers they want women not to have a path to discriminate against them because THEY believe they aren’t the problem. Hell the guys who ARE the problem are also sure they aren’t the problem.

You are assuming that the cachy devs want the help of folks who have not demonstrated competence in their own project or want to do stuff how manjaro does

You need a citation for many women being unsafe with random men in a car but the reverse not being true. OK buddy.

MAGA just doesn’t think like that. They think putting women in their proper place isn’t anti women its pro women because if they have traditional values imposed upon them then they will have a more happy fulfilled life. For those with minority associates or family members that they don’t silently hate they rationalize that they are among the “good ones” Ask them if they hate black people and wait for them to tell you that they don’t they hate n words which are somehow different than black people. Their compartmentalization is perfect. They see no tension with believing black people in general are bad but the ones THEY know to be good are good.

No because the presumption is that you will provide ID to your employer and they will go by whatever is on the ID when assigning rides.

It’s not. You as an employee or contractor aren’t entitled to a particular client being assigned to you against that clients wishes. Customers are allowed to pick their contractor
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 3 weeks ago:
Many women want to ride with other women for safety reasons. Men would only choose their riders gender for bigotry reasons. There is little reason to enable their bigotry. If fewer bigots ride it’s a bug not a feature.

Why doesn’t this just have a combined category so we can figure out how many drink rather than what they drink

Maybe they should just bill a household regardless and dispense with the extra nonsense then you would just have to pay and couldn’t go on about it

Literally everything that is paid for with tax dollars wodks like that. Did you think you got a refund in the mail if you don’t drive on a particular road.

Kirk was preaching ugly evil shit I don’t think you can compare him getting sniped to normal people getting hurt
- Comment on YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD. 2 months ago:
what the first Civil War was fought over Slaves. Literal human resources were right up their with land as far as property value and ability to continue to earn future value. Enshrining slaves as property forever is virtually the only difference in the confederate constitution.
Lincoln was the first presidential ticket with a northern pres and vp at a time when we deliberately had an equal number of southern and northern states and a bunch of territories to be brought into the union out west. Previously it was possible for a southern pres or vp to enforce this fake equality that couldn’t last because the pres could veto and the vp could vote to break a tie. Once you break that tie you can’t put it back you can now add more northern states without issue.
What were they worried about losing as they lost ground in the house and senate again? Their property and future earnings from that property. It’s popular to quote Lincoln saying he would free none or all of the slaves if he could save the union but that doesn’t tell you what the war was about. They went to war so they could keep their slaves and We went the war so we could keep the southern states instead of having an enemy on our doorstep.

Around 84% of Republicans approve of what is clearly kidnapping murder and open fascism as we are threatening half the world, planning on invading a NATO country, and stealing oil from Venezuela. Conservatives are absolutely our enemy.

They are moving 1500 soldiers to Minneapolis to quell the “violence” which is basically people marching with signs and blocking traffic.
Ice agents are threatening to murder people and telling them they should have learned to be meek so they don’t get murdered like Goode

The logic behind not using them is either they can’t or they can’t. They didn’t kill a million russians and junk a fair chunk of their existing hardware for nothing. The reasonable perception is that they couldn’t take Ukraine and fight NATO at all whereas without NATO assistance historical or current Ukraine would have actually fallen in 3 days. Their ability to take Ukraine is therefore 100% a function of how well they can keep NATO out of it and nuking Ukraine blows that objective.

A tablet screen is too small to use with apps not designed for such a screen. So it will be 100% useless without an actual monitor. Your TV is shit its got shitty text rendering, its massive, and if its 1080p 50" its DPI is shit if its 4K is barely acceptable you are too far from it to be usefully used and you have nowhere to put an actual keyboard.
During operation it will be decoding video 100% of the time so its battery life will be trash on a typical tablet battery and it will get hot.
You could solve all those problems by putting the hardware in a shell with or without fans a bigger battery a keyboard and a screen. Oh look we just re-invented the laptop! Except it only works at all in areas where you have wifi and it costs $30-$50 $50-80 if you have no upfront cost and have to pay for the hardware a month and either you have to manage updates and potential failures on both client and server OR only on the client but the server OS is so constrained that you have no control over it. It is worse and more expensive.
Do please explain what exactly one does with just a slow tablet? Do you use your finger to scroll the too big interface constantly on a laggy interface on your bad wifi whilst your virtual computer slows to a crawl when too many people are home OR do you squint at the poorly sized blurry interface 8 feet away on your 50" 1080p?
People already understand and buy laptops. Why will they buy this?

You would actually need server racks at major ISPs colocated near customers (like netflix does now) to have acceptable latency. To have acceptable performance you would need a cheap small form factor PC, a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse.
None of this is free and if not fucked up on the software side would perform fine as far as normal computing tasks by itself.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
It can’t be free because it costs too much. You need data centers near customers for acceptable latency. You also need a computer to connect to your amazon PC.
No your phone won’t work. To prove this. Get a really expensive phone that you can a keyboard and display to. This is already a thing right. Run a remote desktop software on your actual PC wired vastly preferred. Now go next door and ensure you have acceptable wifi. Try this out and tell me how it works for you.
Now imagine it with average wifi which is often terrible in my households with the shitty phones people have creating an experience that is orders of magnitude best case scenario we have created above.
