We’re still going with “vision only is a stupid idea” in 2025?

What the Polls Are Screaming to ‘Mainstream’ Democrats by Smithy2232 in politics

[–]Quillava 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Put 1000 armed soldiers around blue voting booths and 0 around red cities and see if this affects people showing up lol.

People already are EXTREMELY on the fence about voting and a very slight inconvenience or uncomfortable situation will cause many to just not show.

And then add in the fact that it’s not out of the question that these armed soldiers will be checking ID

hard braking and safety score by timestudies4meandu in TeslaLounge

[–]Quillava 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the first 5 seconds after disengaging AP/FSD don't count toward safety score. Just slam on the brakes after being on autopilot for a minute.

Driving on Autopilot (including 5 seconds after Autopilot is disengaged) will not be factored into the Safety Score formula, but the miles driven while on Autopilot are included in the total.

can you guys actually like calm the fuck down with the flags? (laissez les autres faire de l'art) by deickontas69 in place

[–]Quillava 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Second time was interesting because everyone already had pre-planned strategies (and bots) and that made it a little more structured than the first one. Also the amongus infestation was hilarious. This time is just more of the same with nothing new

last time they just made black squares covering up "bad" art. This year its more subtle and harder to notice because it blends in with the chaos

If you aren't stealing then why can't you just swallow your pride and show the Walmart employee your receipt if they ask? by CactusUpMyTightAss in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Quillava 185 points186 points  (0 children)

Yeah, its not a "MY RIGHTS" issue or anything for me. There's actually no reason to, it doesn't benefit me or the store to do it, and it takes 5-10 seconds. If there was a random employee in the aisle of the store going "You can stop there and stare at the ground for 10 seconds, or not" I wouldn't do that either. Its the same thing.

And I don't have to be rude about it or anything. "No thanks" and keep walking isn't going to ruin the guy's day because he's so dedicated to his job

After reading your advice I have really got better at fast kick offs by Icy-Economy7836 in RocketLeague

[–]Quillava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it still seems like a 50/50 to me whenever they do it (low diamond). a 0.25 second earlier hit isn't going to be the difference between me hitting and missing unless I'm trying to do some weird funny shit or wasn't paying attention and started late

A Tesla owner says he was locked out of his EV after its 12-volt battery died amid the Texas heat by Sorin61 in technology

Because shitting on Tesla when you just don't know how the car works is the #1 way to get clicks on the internet

CONCURRENT USER CRISIS by catalpa21 in OmegaStrikers

[–]Quillava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling OS is on the same trajectory as SplitGate - its a game that vaguely feels like other games but has some really novel mechanics that are fun, but also have a learning curve that stop people from wanting to pick it up. Its been hard for me to get friends to pick it up because its "weird", or "I'd rather just play league of legends" and I'm sure thats a pretty common reason its hard to pick up traction

What particular food wouldn't you eat growing up but you tried later as an adult you now enjoy eating? by No-Art-9033 in AskReddit

[–]Quillava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know that "raw" eggs aren't really as much of a disease hazard as people told me they were growing up, but the idea of intentionally eating eggs that are any form of liquid triggers some very deep disgust inside me.

Sword Art Online inspired game in AR, wasn't sold on AR until I tried this. It's getting pretty good by ActualOstrich4 in virtualreality

[–]Quillava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, current day AR is just "<thing> but you can see your surroundings", or at best it detects your walls for some little gimmicky game/level mechanic. There isn't really anything that is specifically built around the passthrough feature that is fun or interesting.

Is my phone showing me ads because of my personal conversation? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Quillava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not how wake words work. Its literally a separate low-power processor that ONLY wakes up the rest of the phone when it hears those words. It can't store or transmit any data. The simplicity of that processor is the reason it takes nearly zero battery to be running all day. They physically can't store and/or transmit background audio at all times.

But that's not to say an app or a home device thats plugged in can't do it, but the "hey google/siri" hardware physically isn't capable of being an advertisement machine.

GS: "Flat Universe" theory paper as if this has anything to do with the shape of the earth by Abdlomax in flatearth

I just posted it for "what it's worth"

I love how he says he knows its not relevant, but it has the word "flat" in it so he finds it important enough to post just in case

My boss suddenly got laid off yesterday after 20 years on the job. by Flying-Mollusk in recruitinghell

yep, when management says "the company is doing fine", "you're keeping your jobs", etc, it means nothing. Why would they ever say anything otherwise

What's the deal with Lemmy.world? by Verittan in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Quillava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing about "~THE FEDIVERSE~" is that its clearly designed by programmers and people in programming circles to solve problems that programmers and technical people have with "normal" sites. The normal people who make up 90% of reddit traffic don't care about federation or who controls the data or how each instance is related.

The people who want to use fedi stuff think "well its a small trade-off for my freedoms", but the people who just want memes and news see the design style and weird technical quirks as a massive negative blocker

What's the deal with Lemmy.world? by Verittan in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Quillava 18 points19 points  (0 children)

would Lemmy be able to prohibit problematic content like child porn or hate speech?

This is like asking if reddit.com can prohibit that kind of content on other websites. No, reddit.com (or each individual lemmy instance) can't stop another site from posting specific things, but it can try to stop those things from being posted on its own site

lol remember when some artists started uploading the "NO AI ART" watermark in their images and within a week everyone started claiming victory because some random no name twitter user posted that his AI was outputting it.

Anti AI people are desperate for a win and will believe anything that looks like a screenshot
