Thanks for checking, it’s refreshing to see that attitude and care online.

It’s not a common saying here and I assumed it meant to pay attention to detail, be meticulous and precise, like “dot the i’s and cross the t’s”. ‘p’ and ‘q’ can be written similarly.

“Let’s not put fish in the milk bucket.”

Honestly better than many other common sayings.

Ah, right. I’m not familiar enough with US law to realize.

It has to be organized for one.

I disagree. Consider racist mass shootings by lone perpetrators. It’s clearly an act attempting to incite terror and tension, many of them make it clear in their manifestos that they’re trying to spark a ‘race war’. But it’s not organized, beyond being the result of stochastic terrorism.

“My collection of rare, incurable diseases! Violated!”

The video does bring up human ability too with the fog test (“Optically, with my own eyes, I can no longer see there’s a kid through this fog. The lidar has no issue.”) But, as they show, this wall is extremely obvious to the driver.

I hope some of you actually skimmed the article and got to the “disengaging” part.

As Electrek points out, Autopilot has a well-documented tendency to disengage right before a crash. Regulators have previously found that the advanced driver assistance software shuts off a fraction of a second before making impact.

It’s a highly questionable approach that has raised concerns over Tesla trying to evade guilt by automatically turning off any possibly incriminating driver assistance features before a crash.

Some people are, yes, but compare what happens when law enforcement agents use their arms, and what happens when regular people use their arms.

A critical part of the state is the monopoly on legitimate violence.

The amount of voter suppression, the broken FPTP system and mass media influence over the US electoral system, means that for all intents and purposes, the USA federal election is just picking your favourite of the two viable owning-class-endorsed candidates. “The people” never had a realistic chance of representation or empowerment. This is not a new critique, it’s been discussed for at least a century and a half.

There is simply no real value in calling the USA a democracy at any point during our lifetimes, regardless of whether you are allowed to vote or even write-in candidates, regardless of the two-party system, because the power imbalance between the working class and the owning class surrounding that vote makes it as much a sham election as Russia’s sham elections. But even compared to other (until recently) close allies, the US implementation of federal voting has long been an absolute circus.

If any agent of the government tells you otherwise, you must educate them and enforce the free exercise of your own rights.

How exactly does one enforce the free exercise of their rights?

Remember that agents of the government are often armed and generally don’t like being told what to do.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT IM BEHIND SEVEN PROXIES

I don’t know anything about paid subreddits, but I’m talking about the notorious and overreaching censorship of Luigi Mangeoni, including people getting warnings for simply upvoting those posts. This was mentioned in some mainstream news articles so it’s a reasonably big wave.

I haven’t looked around in five years, but there was some interesting tech tinkering stuff on that diode instance. I’m assume people reuploading their own YouTube channels doesn’t count, but there were some quality ones there even back then.

im sorry Carl Marcos is too advanced.

they keep saying 'In one word; ’ and then writing a whole paragraph. and why do they keep making economics all political?

What part of communism relys on everyone being on the same page?

FWIW, furries have have been ‘a thing’ since at least 1980. (just trivia: I know you’re talking about trends in your area)

Hey OP, I just want to say from experience the reddit bashing usually dies down a bit after a quick spike of reddit refugees like we’re seeing now.

The earliest exoduses were socialist political communities banned from reddit (particularly /r/chapotraphouse who formed Hexbear, and /r/GenZedong who landed in Lemmygrad). Then, the most recent exodus is related to censorship related to Luigi Mangione, a US political issue, coinciding with a strong sudden re-emergence of global anti-American [government] sentiment due to diplomatic catastrophes with a range of former allies.

In fact, the founders cite reddit’s corporate nature and its pro-US-imperialist, racist stances as their motivation to create Lemmy: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/07-history-of-lemmy.html

So I’m not surprised at all that the default feed is covered in political topics, it’s always been a strong topic here and it’s just gotten stronger. But there’s probably enough activity now that one can filter it out and still have enough action to keep it fun.

Well there’s some lovely anti-imperialist coups going on in West Africa recently, here please read these 30 news articles about Burkino Fa
