I'm saying you can't call one mode of transportation "unsafe" while completely ignoring the elephant that is the dangers of driving.

See the thing about transit crime is that it's such a huge deal that it hits the news so hard when anything like that happens.

Meanwhile how many people have died driving in the last month? It's such a huge number that it's not even worth reporting on, it's just "normal". Fear is in the eye of the beholder.

I'll take my chances on the extremely rare likelihood that something happens to me on the subway vs the probability that I'll be maimed or killed while driving.

Wow, trying to rip cyberpunk much there in the end. Idk... As the other commenter said I don't want to spend half the movie in LA or whatever city they obviously filmed in

Here we were all begging them to listen what would actually happen a year ago to them. All they had to say was get fucked liberals. Well here we fucking are.

No. I don't care if it's microscopic and you can't feel it. Go wash your hands.

If AI would be a thing for things like translations, I would not want it to be messages or replies, I would want it to be part of the UI and labeled as AI content. Otherwise it's noise and slop in my opinion.

I always think about the Chunnel, how easy it is to travel between London and Paris when before it would have been boats.

Just use your phone now, use transit directions. It'll tell you exactly where to go. And if you go to the wrong place, you can always just go back

Bingo. I've talked to many of them online and it always boils down to this. It's never that they're actually in any danger. It's just they feel scared. They drive their big trucks because it makes them feel safe.

Meanwhile puny me rides the subway daily.

Define famous. Taylor Swift would be on here. Ashton Kutcher is right for Iowa because that's all they could talk about there

I think a show that plans for 2 seasons or less is great. Andor would have gotten stale at 5 seasons. Queens Gambit was only 1. We don't need everything to run on forever.

However, that's not Netflix's problem. Their problem is that a show runner doesn't know how long their show will run, so they can't close out storylines correctly. Too many are left with open questions and cliffhangers because they were abruptly cancelled.

Gaming on Linux is great! (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
 

I know, lame post, but I wanted to say that Linux gaming has gotten soooo much better, to the point that I honestly think my games are running better than on Windows. I've played so many games, but notable ones are Halo: MCC, MS Flight Sim 2020, Satisfactory, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and right now I'm starting a full playthrough of Dragon Age.

Dragon Age is notorious even on Windows for being a pain because it's such an old game. You have to install the 4gb patch, and even then it's a bit rocky. Not on Linux though! I did have to install PhysX but I googled it and saw it was 2 buttons to install on Linux! Now it's been rock solid and stable, with no crashes.

Linux gaming may have a high bar to learn, but that bar is constantly getting lower! Exciting times!

 

I'm an ex incel myself, but I've been seeing a few users here exhibiting the tell tale signs. "I'm not attractive enough", "I don't socialize correctly", "I'll never find a woman" - all extremely unhealthy attitudes.

Personally I burned through many friendships and ruined a lot of chances with women because I was in the incel community. The community warped my view of women so much that I made it even harder to meet women, I became my own worst enemy. I lost friends because all I could think of was how horrible it was that they had girlfriends.

I have a friend who helped me out of it. She was the one who started calling out my bad behavior for what it was, and I started on the long uphill path out of it. I'm now married and stable for well over a decade, but I still think back to those days, and it depresses me seeing other people causing this themselves and not being aware of it.

So, Lemmy, for those who have clawed out of it, what's your story?

Memes since yesterday... (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
 
 

Working on Phase 4, looked up and noticed this. Kudos to you if you can guess where in the map this is just looking at the image.

A clue, built the bridge a while ago as a key link spanning two new regions. I needed the nodes underneath it for a major component in Phase 4.

 

Curious to see how many people here are using Wyoming Satellites, and if so, what are you doing to build/house them?

I have a sample one working on an old pi and a computer speaker hooked up, with my primary Blue mic. Obviously this isn't long term, and I'm looking at building a few of these.

So, what do you use? Raspberry pi? Some sort of hat on it? What sort of casing do you use? Any really cool implementations? I'll take all ideas and suggestions!

 

(But it's also heavily on sale right now, for $15 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/526870/Satisfactory/)

Personally, I don't mind at all. For one I bought it at $30, but also I have 2,000 hours logged. Per hour that's a cost of $0.02 per hour (at the new price) if I had bought it at $40. I'm all for calling out studios like ubisoft for being greedy, but coffee stain has done a very fair job with Satisfactory IMO, and they very well deserve $10 more for the game.

That being said, go pick it up now for $15

 

Siddy Holloway is doing a special I'd really like to watch, but it's only on BBC2 from what I see. Will it be on a streaming service or anything?
