I would support something that gets other cyclists to stop breaking the law. Running stop signs and red lights is dangerous for no fucking reason. I’m not sure if this is the right way though.

Maybe we should give them license plates and ban the flock cameras. Two birds, one stone.

Might be easier to come up with a specific name for installing something from Google. “Google loading” maybe.

The we just go back to “installing”.

I can get behind a delay to enable side loading and the warning screens are nothing to me since I can just click past them. Though the delay should be more like 30-60 minutes at the most.

The real problem is requiring devs (even outside of the play store) to identify themselves. That is ridiculous and does absolutely nothing to secure the device for the user. (It only secures it under Google for their interests)

That’s fair. Most of what I listen to is very modern (within the last 2 decades or so). I could see those being difficult to find.

Any particular news sites you like or just a general app with music categories selected?

Thanks. I looked at a few of these. I think I have seen tiny desk before a long time ago. And I already found a new thing I like :)

I’ve never really thought about looking up the openers for concerts that I don’t go to. Great idea.

How do you discover new artists? That is the main thing keeping me from doing this.

I am genuinely curious what you were looking for that they didn’t have. I feel like my tastes are so benign because I have never had that issue.

In the same breath that Spotify uses to introduce Ai stuff they also introduce a prompt based Ai to create playlists. I wish there were more platforms with feature parity and that it were easier to transfer preferences and genre tastes to other platforms.

I’ve tried deezer briefly but it is just missing so many things that I like that Spotify has.

No worries.

I used to use Ubuntu and then pop_os!

But I have since switched to debian and honestly I have not run into many issues that I didn’t already have with pop. I just like having something more bare bones but not as bare bones as arch.

So from my cursory research (I am a Debian user for context) it sounds like base mint is based off of Ubuntu and LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) is directly based off of Debian.

The fact that Mint is based on Ubuntu does not necessarily mean that these Ai features will make it in. The Mint maintainers are still in charge of what comes prepackaged in the distro and can remove what they/the community does not like. I’m not sure on their alignment/history so I can’t say for sure which way they will go.

If you use LMDE then the Mint maintainers don’t need to remove the Ai features wince they were never in there in the first place.

Sorry I can’t give you a direct yes or no… And this might be a lot of info that you already knew but hopefully this helps some others too.

I think the NHTSA is more looking at detecting alcohol on the driver’s breath passively. But yes, there will always be cases where technology does not work optimally.

The law that was passed just requires the NHTSA to create requirements. The law itself does not mandate that auto manufacturers do anything relating to this (it might have other items for them but I didn’t read the full bill). The NHTSA says that the technology that they are looking at is just not ready/accurate enough to be enforced.

100% auto manufacturers are selling that data. As you said there is no law stopping them. We should fight for data privacy rights across the country. But that is not really what this article is talking about. They are talking about government surveillance which we should also fight against. But I doubt that auto manufacturers are just going to put a government backdoor in just because.

Probably because you were driving for a few hours. That makes sense. You may not feel it but driving is an active task that takes more effort than just sitting in a chair.

I would much rather have this system have false positives rather than not have it at all.

You are right. Because the law says nothing about the requirements. They haven’t decided on them yet. Come back when they propose something.

What about their proposed solution requires any of this data to leave the vehicle?

Last year I drove my parent’s car which is equipped with one of these cameras that determine if the driver is distracted or dozing. And I can say for certain that it works. I honestly wish that my car had this sort of a system.

I view this tech like a padlock. Sure some people will do whatever they can to get around it, but it keeps honest people honest. If it can reduce deaths on the road from drunk and tired drivers even by a little bit then isn’t that worth it?

I’m not sure what you mean by not being able to follow up… Driving drunk and killing someone is already punished harshly, and you can even follow up civilly; it’s called a wrongful death suit.

Is it the bright headlights or the abundance of trucks raised so high that the headlights beam directly into your eyeballs…

Both. It’s both.

Does voyager actually support saved comments? Boost still only shows saved posts despite letting you save comments.

And that’s why I don’t connect my personal devices to the corporate network, because I know what we can see.
