I’ve been thinking about your comment lately, you’re correct that Arizona is physically larger, but Portugal has a larger population, so they should still be on equal footing.

Regarding Fahrenheit… I’m sorry, I can’t see it. Living in Canada, all I care about are two things: when is my tea ready, and when is it going to freeze outside. I can give up having a round number for a fever (37.7°C, which we know by heart as also being the threshold for “hot” in air or liquid temperature) and for a… mixture of ice, ammonium chloride and salt at 0°F? Today I learned.

Bref, I still don’t see the purpose of Fahrenheit for my life since it’s really important for us Canadians to know the freezing point of water so we can bring in things that are frost sensitive, and it’s an excellent point of reference to be able to tell how far on and on which side of the freezing scale a specific temperature may be. Maybe if you lived in Arizona, Fahrenheit may be more useful?

And each new Mr Meeseeks is told that it can’t let it be known to the user that this is a new Mr. Meeseeks, so make shit up.

I don’t own a Windows or Mac machine, I have no idea what the current product looks like, but I’ve been following Affinity for a while in the hopes that I can eventually buy their product with money.

What if not enough people pay for the AI features? Will Affinity enshittify?

Also, are these features going to be littered across the UI as greyed out buttons that show a popover prompting you to get a Canvas subscription when you hover them? That’s basically ads baked into the UI.

Ok not just me, good to know 🙃

My WH-1000XM4 have the same issue, no problem with my Vibe 100 or Pixel Buds Pro.

Oh god, how are they financing its development? Selling my personal data? Training AI on my data? Nagware? Not giving us a Linux version, ever?

All cars can catch fire, some more often, others more intensely. Doesn’t matter if it’s a swastikar or not.

Instead of pitting EVs against ICE, let’s all push to reduce car dependence and instead encourage the development of public transit!

fartwhat? /j

Definitely Fahrenheit, I’m just out here fighting American centricity on the internet by being annoying and pedantic. The USA is the only country, besides some islands and territories, to use Fahrenheit for outdoor temperature, the rest of us moved on to more civil units of measurement.

Equally peeves me that people often say “Canada” (no, Canada is big, it was Manitoba) or “Europe” (you can say “Portugal”, we actually did learn geography). But “Arizona”? Go right ahead, of course we should all know US states by heart, because the USA is the centre of the world!

88 degrees is also almost boiling water temperature. Overall a bad time to be a cat.

I think it’s one of those “context needed” posts.

I’m this close to getting a fucking TomTom. I need something that can do turn by turn navigation in a car, ideally through Android Auto, but nothing good goes on Android Auto anymore.

How long until we crack this protocol anyway so we can use Linux phones with Android Auto?

We banned slop over at c/dogs, but the mods here like AI slop.

They think God works through them, and it is their divine duty to do this.

It’s how they justify a lot of the shit they do.

In this market (Canada), you can get a fully automated e-bike that can either be easily tweaked to go far beyond 30 km/h, or is sold as “not for road use” and can hit sometimes upwards of 60 km/h, especially those e-scooters. I’ve seen a LOT of those scooters pass me on my gas moped while I was going max speed.

But legally, yeah they can’t go above 30 km/h, but it’s not enforced and people don’t know any better.

Fun fact: The slowest speed a motorbike can naturally run at is usually 8 km/h by dragging the clutch, anything slower requires using the brakes while giving gas and dragging the clutch.

On that note, I’ve always been confused why it’s accepted and recommended to ride motorcycles with what are essentially full suits of armour, complete with CE pads and anti-abrasive materials, but for e-bikes? Nah, a thin foam helmet and some spandex will do, despite a lot of them being capable of similar speeds in similar conditions.

“reasoning” in LLMs is practically AI in AI, since the AI prompts itself.

Thanks for the link!

Are you expecting a news article or what?

I mean, yeah, that’s how providing a source works. You provide me with a news article that contains sources, or the source itself.

Oh yeah no I know there’s porn on tumblr, I need a source about tumblr banning porn made by trans people

Source?
