Have you hit a deer before or almost hit them in the dark? Yes absolutely 60mph will shorten your stopping distance and reaction time but not nearly enough. Even at 35mph people hit deer all the time because they typically jump out in front. But much faster than 35mph and even standing still in the middle of the road they’re tough to see and stop for. 60mph, not a chance.

Great on paper but literally not okay to slow down to 35 mph on the freeway … Where most wild animals are hit at night.

I switched to Kubuntu (KDE Plasma with Wayland turned on) and it’s absolutely wonderful.

In my area prices are already down 30%. Every chart clearly shows the falling value.

I recently upgraded to the new GE all in one washer dryer. Removes a massive step of having to move clothes between dryer and washer. Toss em in, and 2 hours later they’re done. Best part is they can be tossed in before bed and ready in the morning for work!

Logging in to cancel my switch online right now. I was using YUZU to play games I bought from them, in some cases even more than once. F Nintendo. I won’t be buying a Switch 2.

It’s not “no one”, Because I left reddit and I left chrome. Lemmy and Firefox!

But yeah not many people will actually do it.

Yeah there is a setting and now when I click links it opens in Firefox. But if you use the Google search widget it still opens in chrome, which is to be expected I guess.

I’d like to believe that enough of us actually stopped using chrome and switched to Firefox the day they made that announcement that swayed them… But in reality I’m sure it was just the bad press and they’re going to try to find a different more sneaky way to do the same shit.

I live in rural Washington too, in the mountains. There was a local ISP that was terrible and amazingly a very small ISP bought them out from Arizona. The first thing they did was start to run fiber to anyone who wanted it. I went from shit DSL to 1gig up and 1 gig down fiber. To top it all off, they’ve lowered my monthly price once and doubled my bandwidth once… Without even asking, I even emailed them to check if my bill was lower and speed was faster and they were like yep! Mind blown.

It technically doesn’t apply to you, but it totally does. They don’t have any way to validate who you are or where you’re from. So CCPA gave everyone the protection. Just ask and they have to delete the data.

This is legitimately how it works in the US between insurance and pharma/medical.

I just had a baby and I added up the total bill from the hospital and it was $100,000. We were in the hospital for 3 days. My insurance “negotiated” it down to $26,000, and I paid $3000.

The $100,000 is completely made up from the beginning. Pharma and medical just slap big ass ridiculous numbers down, then the insurance fake negotiates down to a still completely ridiculous number, then that cost has to get eaten by people who pay into insurance, which is basically everyone.

On my to do list for today. Did you submit a formal CCPA delete request? Or just log in and delete?

Probably because they know if it gets implemented they will get tossed out. What a shame.

Do you have lidar on your head? No, yet you’re able to drive with just two cameras on your face. So no lidar isn’t required. Not that driving in a very dynamic world isn’t very difficult for computers to do, it’s not a matter of if, it’s just a matter of time.

Would lidar allow “super human” driving abilities? Like seeing through fog and in every direction in the dark, sure. But it’s not required for the job at hand.

It’s not free, we are paying for everything NASA does with our taxes.

Same here and I haven’t received any warning or blocking. As soon as I get told or blocked then I’ll cancel. That way in their metrics they see I was blocked and then cancelled. But so far it just keeps working.

I am already a Plex user but I gave Jellyfin a try. Hoping to ditch Plex and fully self host it. But unfortunately I use Chromecast on all the TVs in my house and the Jellyfin Chromecast integration is terrible :(

That’s what I never understood about cable tv! Never once have I paid for a service that forces me to watch ads. I would never pay for that!

I’m using Connect app too for now. Ateast until Sync for Lemmy is ready! Connect isn’t terrible by any means. Though I haven’t received a reply or DM yet so I’m not sure if background updates are working.
