- Comment on New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds 2 weeks ago:
They don’t have to redesign an entire car, just the internal parts of a door that are related to a handle, that in the past they made work mechanically btw, so no, 2 years is more than enough to redesign and start implementing it

Nah we don’t have a common enemy, you couldn’t accept my taste for pineapples, I will not start being best buddies with you just because you think there’s someone with a worse taste, you’ll just use me to attack them and when there are no more kiwi pizza lovers you’ll go back to attacking me, the pineapple pizza lover. Either grow up and accept people like different flavors than you, or the pineapple kiwi pizza alliance will make you’ll taste flavor combos you wish could go back to hell where they came (this is an allegory to queers who want to exclude queers more “flamboyant” than them so that the heteros can leave them alone)

Someone else pointed out the same flaw, I replied with this, but this is all just trying to block the sun with a sieve and just theorizing for the sake of theorizing as a fun thing, if something good comes out of it nice bonus tbh
Built-in screen reader with a page designed for those who are hard of sight (is that the name?) with stuff like tab navigation that is actually useful, unlike most websites today! But yeah this “solution” is very hard to implement because it has a lot of things it’ll cause issues to that will need individual fixes for, thanks AI and scrapers!! Making the internet a hellhole sure is great!

True… But what if the forum had its own search engine that could ignore the anti-scraping stuff? The issue would be making a good search engine lol
- Comment on The internet kind of sucks right now 2 months ago:
What if we made it so that the text that any use posts in the forum website has a bunch of nonsense letters mixed in between the letters they posted, but they’re all set to a REALLY small font or even taking no space thanks to those special characters, and colored in such a way to make them disappear into the background? That way when a person reads it makes sense but when a scraper gets it it’ll just be a jumbled useless mess!

Weird, I haven’t gotten the message yet, I wonder if my app is missing that feature, I’ll look into it, thanks!

I had my suspicions, but I also thought “is this really AI or someone who isn’t good at drawing?” I’m a furry so I see a lot of people who draw, but don’t do it that well and sometimes the drawings look clean, but clearly fucked up because the artist doesn’t know what they’re doing, and with digital media you can use tools to draw perfect circles and smooth lines to hide the lack of experience and knowledge super easily

I did not think about the landmark thing!!! That’s such a good point!!! I honestly read the hand position as a polite “hey there” but that might be my autism, but it does make sense what you said!! Thank you I’ll try to see the bigger “picture” of what the intent of a piece would be and if the drawing is actually attempting to do it, that’s a really good point and something AI will not be able to fulfill any time soon!

Huh I’ll def keep that in mind!! I didn’t hear about that before, thank you!!!

I’ve luckily not seen it before, I guess my little bubble has very little AI content? Most of the memes I see are the typical old web nonsense so maybe it is indeed luck

True!! The trees don’t make sense going up there, it looks a bit like an attempt to scale them, but it doesn’t work at all, also the bus door being missing only works because the glass bends down as if there was a lower section there, but without a door it makes no sense (altho a bus not having a door there is possible, just came back from Chile and the tourism buses had the door in the middle, not on the front) and you’re the second person I read mentioning the yellow bus, that is def something I would never pick up, here in Brazil we don’t have those yellow school buses, so it never became that hard association for me
- Comment on Great Advertise 2 months ago:
The font and text placement are indeed really big giveaways, I thought it was weird that the text didn’t follow the angle of the drawing, and the font is so uninspiring and meh, also the line thickness, that’s so true too!! Thank you!!!

I’ve never seen Canadian buses, I thought it was another thing they copied from the US, they are influenced by them a lot and I’ve never been to Canada myself so I couldn’t know, but it makes sense
- Comment on Great Advertise 2 months ago:
I see now. I was still on the fence about it, thinking it could also be someone’s drawing trying to emulate those travel agencies ass style, but the 45° or direct angle at the camera is so true

I’m Brazilian, and I’ll say I have no idea what a "take away"alcohol purchase means. Here you can open the can inside the market, drink it as you purchase as long as you pay it on the way out. Never heard of any laws against drinking in public, only about selling alcohol to minors and drunk driving

Lidar is one of the things it needs, but even when they properly see what’s ahead they don’t interpret it correctly and don’t take the correct actions, it’s bigger than just lidar, which is honestly terrifying

It’s so freaking annoying that these anti cheats don’t ever work with Linux… I wonder if steam did their own anti cheat that worked for Linux they could get those games to run on it, but it’s a pipedream, it’s too complex and it’s much better to keep the Linux portion of the market growing through making it more accessible to normal users and then getting the anti cheat companies interested in making a version for Linux instead

Just out of curiosity, what games do you need a windows machine to play that proton can’t make work on Linux?

I keep getting called away from my computer in the middle of whatever I’m doing and I don’t want to leave it unlocked while I’m away and I don’t want to have to reopen 4 or 5 programs including a game, if I could shut it down instead of sleeping I would but sadly I can’t

I’ve even taken out the drive that I had Linux installed, windows still has the issue, it started barely happening a year or so ago but recently it’s gotten much much worse and it happens in waves(?) where it’ll not have any issues for several days and then one day it will fail to wake up every time it goes to sleep, except when I’m testing. I recall testing the drive check on both Linux and windows, but both came out clean.
My bf and I have narrowed it down to probably being the power supply (last year there were a bunch of power outages after a historical flood here in southern Brazil) but the ram is also unstable at timings that it used to run perfectly fine, but the ram test came out clean so it’s a big mess of possibilities RN. I’m just waiting for Monday to be able to buy a new power supply and a UPS to test, but even then we’re still unsure if this will truly fix it or if I’ll need to get a new motherboard.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 6 months ago:
I was running mint, but had to go back to windows because of a hardware bug I’m still trying to fix where my PC will randomly not wake up from sleep and that results in corrupted drives, which windows can fix with it’s automated repair at boot, but Linux has done commands that I need to run and if I fuck it up it would fuck my computer up even more, so until I can fix the hardware bug I’m stuck on windows, but by fuck do I hate it. I prefer Linux so much more over windows, so much more convenient, efficient, personalizable and it actually works in many places where windows simply doesn’t even with a lot of fiddling around in settings and shit
- Comment on Here’s why some people still evade public transport fares – even when they’re 50 cents 8 months ago:
You don’t put data of people’s trips, you count how many people entered in x stop and how many left in y spot to see which stops are getting more use and thus could require another route in the future, you don’t need to individualize the data, the point of interest is the stop, not the individual person using the bus

Exactly same situation here. Every day I’m wanting to strangle him and all the other nazis and nazi enablers working in this government.

You didn’t even watch the video, did you? This was not affecting only those who were a sponsor for honey, they affected EVERYONE who had an affiliate link, from the Mrbeast youtubers to people who actually check their sponsors because honey.
What honey would do is take away any affiliate commission for themselves, not only taking that money but by changing the cookie from others to theirs, so if a person with an affiliate link that did everything right, got a good sponsor with integrity and did a proper video showing the good and bad side of their product would still lose because instead of the sales showing that people came from the good creator, honey would change to their tracking, making the business not want to sponsor the good creator and the good creator wouldn’t even get their commission from the sales they made because honey stole them
