It would be funny if it were intercepted just to show this tagline but I doubt it.
The browser does hold onto the taglines if you have an open tab, though for me on firefox it seems to cycle through them if I try navigating around without a connection
:(
I assumed USSR tbh but that might make more sense
My car will be above 100k miles soon, and I’ll likely have to get a new one in the next year or so.
Maybe it’s just me but… no you won’t? like what? I don’t think I ever owned a car under 100k miles… Imagine being like “ope car’s like 8 years old time to throw it out”
I guess old clunkers are the purview of poor people and amateur mechanics but still, absent a specific problem with the car this makes no sense.
The gentrification of the mind mention 
That’s a hilarious coincidence
You can press ctrl-shift-e and refresh to see the network requests for the page and why they’re failing (I think chrome is similar but I use ff). If you’re getting SSL/TLS errors, it’s probably a block, if not then it could be a different issue?
heavily situation dependent. Autonomous region of what state, at what time, in what political context? It isn’t something with a strict definition across time and space
I don’t see why degradation of the individual physical floppies is a concern, since they can be imaged and written onto new(er) floppies, or the system retrofitted to read the same data from a different medium, but I can see where a more modern system would provide a lot of advantages. It doesn’t really sound like anyone in this article knows the nitty gritty details that well, though the bit about the loop cable is good.
The SFMTA is looking to upgrade to “modern technologies, such as fiber optic or Wi-Fi,” Roccaforte said.
PLEASE do not use wifi to run your trains lmao
Where are the goldfish-brained dipshits who always come out of the woodwork to call you a conspiracy theorist and say “yeah we did regime change in the past but not now”?
The people engaging with him are saints for putting up with his bullshit.
They could stand to put up with it a lot less, tbh
Objection to the use of my personal checkout history may seem like a small thing, but it essentializes how oppressive political regimes oppress. I had a friend who lived in the former Soviet Union who explained to me that the most private thing about you is what you read
I mean sure, I don’t want to be spied on for profit. But jfc she just haaaaad to sneak a jab at the USSR in there. It’s like its contractual for these people, any criticism of US capitalism has to include an “imagine how much worse it would be in bad country” segment
I don’t think this is actually a school. China-knowers feel free to correct me, but it seems like a public market or cafeteria with facial recognition for payment (probably through alipay or one of the other big players)
Here’s a little background on facial recognition payment systems in China: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/08/china-releases-plans-to-restrict-facial-recognition-technology.html
They seem to have sprung up and become popular quickly, spread to other sectors (like apartment entry), and now the government is setting some limits on their use to serve the public good:
The draft did not specify the law’s requirements, but said businesses should not require people to use facial recognition to receive better services.
Building management cannot use facial recognition as the only way for people to enter or exit, the draft said, noting if individuals don’t agree to facial recognition, management should provide other “reasonable and convenient” methods.
Is this actually a school, though? the propagandist posting this didn’t bother to check certainly (edit: and didn’t even claim it specifically). It doesn’t really look like one to me, and facial recognition would make a lot more sense as payment, not as school ID.
soon to be more embarassing
Does it bug anyone else when they say “World’s richest billionaires”? Like yeah no shit captain redundancy, there’s a word for them though, it’s “people”. They’re just people. This billionaire identity building/mythmaking language has got to stop. Plus its just a way to not normalize gender neutral language/a drop in replacement for “world’s richest men” that is technically gender neutral but carries an implication…
the clickbait worked (yes, it was a boeing, a 737-800)
my cousin is taking nothing but cherry juice for his hereditary case of gout and refusing to go to the doctor, but he’s a rural slumlord not fuckin royalty
wish that were me
