Tesla Lays Off Entire Team Behind Brakes ( www.theonion.com )

AUSTIN, TX—In the latest round of layoffs for the company’s struggling automotive division, electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla fired the entire team behind brakes, sources confirmed Wednesday. “As we continue to rightsize the Tesla workforce, we have come to the decision that stopping the car is no longer a critical...

brakes are woke and socialist and full of CRT, real Americans stick their foot out the door and shred their boots on the road to stop their car

idk, seems like forced birth and pedophilia are bigger threats to the dignity of the woman and the child than surrogacy

this was on purpose. the World Central Kitchen notified the IDF about their movement, and their vehicles were clearly marked. there is no way this was an accident. the IDF purposely killed aid workers delivering food to Gaza. if this isn't an indicator of their genocidal intentions, i don't know what is

would you rather Trump be in office instead?

@salarua@sopuli.xyz avatar

that's all well and good, but one of the two will get in office no matter what. might as well suck it up and vote for the lesser evil.

besides, you said yourself which one you'd prefer. you'd flee the country if Trump got into office, and you acknowledge that the Democrats can be shamed into doing the right thing (unlike the Republicans). if it makes the choice more palatable, think of it not as a vote for someone but a vote against someone. not voting at all is complicity.

i refuse to pirate indie games. i will always buy games that are independently released or from small publishers because 1. they're just trying to break even (unlike publishers like EA and Activision who have millions of fans lining up to buy their repetitive junk) and 2. they almost never have DRM. i'll also buy my music for similar reasons; 99% of artists can barely make a living and i really do not want to contribute to that statistic

money isn't a birthright, but food, water, shelter, clothes, and healthcare are. if we can't be given those, we should at least be given the money to get them

oddly specific objection aside, where podcasting really shines is fiction. it's the modern version of the radio drama. fiction podcasts like Welcome to Night Vale and Find Us Alive have narratives that are tailor-made for episodic audio and would not work in any other medium. a good fiction podcast is truly wonderful to listen to

they are so much more than that. Builder for example has a full tree view of your project, instant compiling (well, instant in the sense that the compile button is always accessible and you don't have to leave the application to do it), live preview for markup languages, Git integration, unit tests, profiling, and several other things I can't remember right now. so no, an IDE is an entirely different beast from a text editor

oh, good point about console games. i wonder if you could use multiplayer on a pirated console game with crossplay

one Discord server i was on had a Minecraft server with a specific mod installed that allowed cracked copies to join, and it allowed people to lock names in with a PIN so people couldn't impersonate each other. i can't remember which mod it was though

the ones I build. I have to admit the Switch is really fun, but at the end of the day it's just another DRM machine. I'd rather have a rig sitting somewhere that I built to my exact specifications, that I can connect to from wherever, and that will run whatever I want

on the other hand, there could be an enemy of my enemy situation, because everyone in the Middle East hates Israel (and for good reason too: not only is Israel run by genocidal fucks, but they stole everyone's land). it's not impossible that Jordan, Egypt, and neighboring countries would gang up on Israel.

why is this an L? Linux is fully capable of 4k playback. any Linux user (with a 4k screen) can go to YouTube and watch a 4k video in full quality. Linux support is there, the bandwidth is probably there, the hardware power is there (Asahi Linux is for Apple hardware), so the problem is either Netflix or DRM in general

I'm not gonna speculate on what you're buying, but I'm afraid you're gonna get involved with shady people no matter what if you're using cryptocurrency. the entire industry is in the midst of a cascade failure thanks to Three Arrows Capital going toes up, and con artists and thieves are cashing in. cryptocurrency exchanges are using their own customers' money for not-so-good purposes, stablecoins are rapidly losing their pegs, and it seems like a bridge gets cracked every other day. my advice? if you don't want to deal with shadiness, you really shouldn't use cryptocurrency at all.

don't forget the part after "open crypto app" where you find out your favorite coin crashed overnight and you now have 29 cents

I can sort of see the appeal if it were able to plug into your smart home or something so it could respond to queries like "where's the dog", but as a general knowledge assistant it's worse than useless (unless it magically doesn't confabulate anything anymore)

I'm not too keen on Tomorrowland. it's got a lot of great man theory messages in it, which isn't surprising since it was written and directed by Brad Bird, a notorious Objectivist

ranked-choice is the wrong choice here. it’s expensive to print new ballots and the process is needlessly convoluted and wasteful. approval voting is not only cheap and effective, it more accurately represents the will of the people

opt-in analytics! servers running Synapse can choose to send a bit of analytics information like number of users, but it’s opt-in so the number is potentially even higher

Wikipedian here - AI on Wikipedia is actually nothing new. we've had a machine learning model identify malicious edits since 2017, and Cluebot (an ML-powered anti-vandalism bot) has been around for even longer than that.

even so, this is pretty exciting. from what i gather, this is a transformer model turned on its side; instead of taking textual data and transforming it, it checks to see if two pieces of textual data could reasonably be transformations of each other. used responsibly, this could really help knock out those [dubious] and [failed verification] tags en masse

yes. it only surfaces citations that may back up the content better, an editor still has to read the source and approve the change

my dream is to build my own NAS. it would handle everything i need: it would be a Nextcloud, media server, website host, Matrix server, Minecraft server, and when i’m not doing anything with it at the moment i’ll have it donate its time to seeding and relaying

salarua OP ,
@salarua@sopuli.xyz avatar

i’ll have to look more into that. the obvious answer is “keep it off site”, but that only applies if you’re doing backups. if it’s a NAS with several different purposes like the one i want, i’m not actually sure. i’ll keep reading about it
