- Comment on Nvidia and Uber Say They're Building a 100,000-Vehicle Robotaxi Network 1 week ago:
I won’t be happy until a third of the traffic on the road is driverless zombies going to pick people up who are too lazy to drive themselves or ride a bike. And another third should be cars that are just picking up a box or two for delivery. The remaining third should be exclusively SUVs and pickups too tall to see any passengers, lest they slow down for measly walkers.
One can dream…

Nope. They’ve just implemented verification cans instead.

That is exactly what I use mine for and it does it pretty much silently.

You’re replying to my comment when it’s incredibly obvious you do not look at the attached video or read the whole original post. Pretty sure you’re either a high-effort troll or a bot.

It goes far, far deeper than that. I recommend you listen to this to get a full grasp on just how twisted his schemes really are: youtu.be/D503ScaSGc4
- Comment on Mini pc for home server? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve have amazing luck with both Beelink and Minisforum computers. They’re relatively cheap and excellent quality.
I personally use the Beelink ME Mini and it’s been able to handle just fine about any server tasks I need it to, not to mention the wildly expandable storage.
- Comment on The concept of teen superheroes is stupid and boring 2 weeks ago:
I actually like Peter in the recent Spider-Man games. He’s has a day job and adult responsibilities throughout. Miles is at the tail end of high school, so you still get the teen story in the MM game, but then back to a focus on adult responsibilities for SM2.
- Comment on Hundreds of Instagram accounts push graphic real-life violence to millions, CBS News finds 2 weeks ago:
After I’ve spent several years away from algo-feed-based social media, I can’t imagine going back. The sheer amount of content that I didn’t consent to witnessing was wild. The frequency of shock and gore was pretty much at least weekly, if not daily.
It wasn’t until I left FB, joined Reddit, unsubbed from all the defaults, and started adding subs as a whitelist rather than a blacklist, dis I start seeing my reactions to news shift. I started becoming way less reactionary over time and engaged far less with bait.
When they killed 3rd-party apps and I came to Lemmy, there was a lot less content, but it was also obvious the advertisers weren’t here generating bait. I’m now back to a blacklist on Lemmy, but I also don’t get hit with engagement bait here like I did on previous platforms.

The concerning part is when you find out all your friends are already on there and they’ve been excluding you so far for some reason.

Oh hey. That’s the meme I made!
- Comment on Has InZoi been better than the Sims in your opinion? 3 weeks ago:
So far, the critical component that the Sims clones lack is character. Sims understands that Sims are a bit different than real people and they go out of their way to make them quirky and a bit hyperbolic. The clones seem to try and be real life simulators which I would argue is difficult to actually make enjoyable. Real life is boring.
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 3 weeks ago:
I picture an electric car with almost no dashboard at all. Just one dial for speed and another for remaining charge along with your odometer if you feel you must have that info. Maybe estimated mileage, but even that’s just spare info to someone who’s used to a classic fuel gauge.
In a car, the interior should fall away and the car should become an extension of the driver. Only by feeling the need to preserve the car do you drive with the necessary attention to protect yourself.
People seem to treat cars like roaming living rooms instead of the farm equipment they really are.
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 3 weeks ago:
I spend a solid amount of time in RDR2 camping. I’ll go to town, gather some supplies, and head out in a random direction with no map.
Gather food as I go, hunt for game as I find it, craft supplies, and live off the land.
You can take multiple in-game days to get places and even better is choosing a mountain or similar in the distance and making that your destination.
You still come across plenty of side missions with this approach because of how much is going on in that game, but it feels quite genuine when you do.

- Comment on What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific. 4 weeks ago:
I still chase after the first playthrough experience of Okami. It was a time before novel ways of interacting with the game world were the norm. Everyone I knew at the time was playing CoD (some even just played Zombies mode and nothing else), Battlefield, Halo, GTA, Pokémon, Mario, Zelda… all titles that “everyone” played at the time.
When I saw Okami on a commercial, I knew I had to own it. There was nothing like it at the time and the way it pulled from Japanese culture was such a new concept to me. The way you can stop time at any point and paint shapes on the screen was just too cool to pass up. Not to mention, the almost hand-drawn aesthetic was still one of very few at the time.
I will admit, I can’t stand the experience on Wii. I can only enjoy it on controller because of how awkward painting with a 6-foot brush is.

I have seen this recently pretty often that people seem to believe Lemmy is an equal representation of the real world. It’s probably one of the more niche media platforms, though. I come here because I enjoy every third Linux post. I also know that I have to go out of my way to find someone who has even heard of Steam, let alone a Steam Deck.

When I was in high school band, it didn’t feel like this. It felt like you were trying your best to become a part of the bigger sound. You really don’t want to stand out or “express yourself” as much because it was about the song, not the players at that point. Whenever I was corrected or told I needed to practice a section, it came across as duty more than personal reflection.
I also did marching band and the same rules apply. You want to blend in with the field. No one player really gets a spotlight of their own.

- Comment on Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come 4 weeks ago:
I’ll stick to my home server, thanks.
I’ve spent the last 2 years pulling all of my cloud data. I’ve read too many stories at this point about people losing access to their stuff and with the way administration is going, that’ll only get worse.
The cloud is just someone else’s computer, after all.

The challenge is finding a model that lets you rip them. To my awareness, there isn’t any officially supported method to rip BluRays and you have to modify the firmware to let you backup your own media.

Back in 2015 or so, I noticed some of the movies on Netflix that I wanted to rewatch disappeared. I caught on pretty early that this was going to be the case where all the good stuff cycles out, so I took to building a Blu-Ray collection. Now all of my favorites are quick and easy to get to.
At some point I’m planning on digitizing the whole collection because I know discs degrade, but I’ve been hesitant because I don’t want to cook my drive’s laser in the process.

That’s easy. You just ignore your conscience because money speaks louder to these people.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 5 weeks ago:
I’ve had plenty of success using it to build things like docker compose yamls and the like, but for anything functional, it does often take a few tries to get it right. I never use its raw for anything in production. Only as a leaping off point to structure things.
