Getting doored while out riding, then falling into the road and getting run over by a garbage truck.

I ride my bike a lot. Somebody getting out of the back seat of a 4 door with out looking is a huge danger.

I met Danny at my local coffee shop. I am a total ass and said “Abed?”. He said " Danny. " and shook my hand. Thus confirming my status as Total Ass, and his as a mensch.

Once upon a time windows had absolute pathing. When you saved, it went in the directory you were in out where you told it.

Some time ago windows went to path relative to user. So now when you save to ‘desktop’ it could be one of several desktop folders. Windows tries to hide this by mapping ‘desktop’ to your user relative desktop, but it does this at the application level rather than in the base O/S. (Or, it does it on extended file system APIs). Some apps handle it, some apps don’t. If you have multiple users on a PC, it’s a mess.

“Lost” seems a bit too much - how about unmanaged?

Oh wait, my bad. He’s there in the back.

Where’s Gary Busey?!?!

Oh God,.I was waiting for this…

Interesting - they sell not only repairable phones but OEM phones with the /e/ os (degoogled Android).

Alotta lotta justification on that mail…

Cool! They are making these just a little north of me. Maybe I will see one in the wild soon.

This is a classic feedback problem: you use a microphone to amplify your voice, but If the mic picks up the amplified sound it creates audio feedback + a sharply increasing wail.

I can’t imagine what LLM feed back ‘sounds like’, but a guarantee you it ain’t pretty.

Drive by wire. What could go wrong?!?

Hypothetical: dashcam god eye view.

This guy walks… The dog

Interesting! I will give that a shot!

Thanks for helping me think outside of the box

So… How is Lemmy set for SEO?

If I read it right: the government is paying for commercial (phone) location data. There are 3 issues:

• creepy: the government shouldn’t have this
• costly: they are buying it with our tax dollars
• comprehensive (?): They are getting everything (money can buy)?

If the government were to require this (like via a search warrant) rather than pay for it it would go through a mountain of legal oversight. It seems like the interpretation is: commercially available = publically available.

I guess what I would want to know next is: who gets access to this?
