This is so true! I feel like my social media history is over and over switching platforms because they turn into shit once they get too big. And now its reddit that got to that point (a while ago tbh). Not sure how to break that cycle but the federation gives me hopes.
I don’t get that “it’s not my job” approach a lot of people have towards self check out. I know its different in the US but I hear this also in Europe. In a proper self check out I take a item from my basket, put it straight into my bag and have all the time I want to organise it properly. While at the usual check out I need to unpack everything on the belt, pray that the person before me was fast enough so I can start packing my shit when the cashier starts pushing 3 items/second towards me. While trying to keep up with the cashier you are either a master of packing or you’re screwed. Alternative would be just dumping everything back into the shopping cart and organising after you paid but that means handling every item three Times (put it on the belt, back in the cart, Pack into bags).
Hot Take: Self checkout (in Europe) is less work than conventional checkout.

Not sure where you from but if you listen to it you it might sound familiar “Madness - Our House”. Its a classic tbh
I imagine people behind this law are pretty interested in this small but powerful user base. I would just boldly assume that a lot of people responsible for independent software and privacy advocates are using Linux etc. So its a interesting user base for sure. But regulating open source software luckily is pretty much impossible and they wont give up their(our) privacy without a fight. Also, we will see how much the user base will grow when these regulations get tighter.
Your 18 year old self being really confused because you basically used 4 words so the message that arrives is just “It’s still…”. Just imagine what weird stuff your 18 year old self would do because it thinks it found the secret of your message.
I am in on the tea part but what news are you readig that it gives you peace??
Called someone that is using that feature and think its absolutly wild. Especially if its a person you know, like what the fuck?! What happens after? I get put in a queue like “Please wait, your friend will be available soon…” elevator music…?? This is just bullshit that AI companies use to justify their messed up shit. Obviously I hang up after hearing the AI voice.
Interesting article, but only surprising part is that this hasnt been done before (mass analysing the Lidar Data). This seems like something that could have been done with much less compute and more specialized machen Learning algorithms already years ago. I mean most shapes that point to old buildings under the foilage are not exactly suddle in the Lidar Data.
