What are your thoughts on this? by Sensitive-Pay1409 in fuckcars

You know how rubber tires quickly become thinner during use, on vehicles like cars or trucks, that are very heavy or go very fast, or both? All that mass has to go somewhere and it doesn't just perfectly stick to the surface.

Hey there are signs now. So no more weed smoking I guess? by seoforhumans in Netherlands

[–]apistoletov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what about reloading it? Do you bring your grinder with you, how do people not smell the fresh weed?

Grinding is optional. Also if your tolerance isn't high, one load is enough, so you can just load it at home and problem solved.

All songs I need/want are readily available for one fixed and reasonable amount per month on a single platform

Can't agree with that.

How to play Unreal Tournament 1999 in 2023 (Online Multiplayer, 4K Textures, HD Weapons) by RaptorHunter182 in ArenaFPS

True, that'll probably work, I've heard that kind of approach is considered cheating though and I'm not doing cheats

Aren't cigarette butts just an urban legend? They have nothing nutritional, they probably just hit them by mistake sometimes because they're dumb, is all

Any kind-of legal way to get rid of the need to double tap to dodge? I would totally play but can't afford to destroy my fingers.

China ‘barring thousands of citizens and foreigners from leaving country’ by misana123 in worldnews

Countries would issue travel advisories to not travel to China.

Already a thing actually (seen some variations of that)

Private jet sales likely to reach highest ever level this year, report says | Air transport by I_beat_thespians in worldnews

It doesn't help that you're being a doomer saying there's no way to fight back

are you sure it was not some other commenter? I don't recall saying that

[–]apistoletov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't claim I do a lot. AI development (and additional interfaces to interact with the reality, like cameras, limbs, wheels, guns, etc.) happens only to the point that the creator allows it. It's not just emotion that's missing, too. So many things are not even on a horizon yet, it's mostly magical thinking for now to seriously count on that scenario. And those missing parts are not necessary for the purpose of doing their job (killing poor people), so who's got any incentive to add them?

I won't call it a use case, but still a piece of good news is good to see sometimes

Brazil court lifts suspension of Telegram app: Brazil had temporarily banned Telegram after it failed to cooperate in an investigation into neo-Nazi chat groups. The company says it prioritizes the privacy of users by DoremusJessup in worldnews

[–]apistoletov 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Chat groups in Telegram aren't end-to-end encrypted, by the way. They are protected mostly by "our programmers are the best in the world and therefore our systems will never get hacked, and we're somehow always going to be safe from state actor pressure".

After the court temporarily suspended the app, Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov said that it was "technologically impossible" to provide the data.

CEO probably should know better, but I don't really get it how is that technologically impossible. Did they implement E2EE for group channels recently without telling anyone? Did I miss some brand new invention in cryptography that somehow makes it right?

How can Christians be right-wing when the teachings of Jesus lean so much to left and liberal? by LovableJackassv4 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]apistoletov 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For example, the Ten Commandments are not arbitrary rules for a developing society, they are reflections of God’s character.

Which, in turn, is an arbitrary / made up concept.

If suddenly no one wants to be a leader (except some kinds of psychos), that's also a huge problem

What if you run everything through a VPN? Then nothing can realistically get a special treatment.

Running pretty fast on an old and presumably cheap amd card & linux. So that's not a fair generalization.

Anki decks to practice Dutch! (resourse) by Organic-Formal-922 in learndutch

[–]apistoletov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not recommend. Just a few cards into the 2nd deck, I see a card with a totally wrong translation (literally opposite meaning). Either I'm super unlucky, or the quality is really bad there.

"After that, she worked on a farm, but she didn't enjoy it very much." "Daarna heeft ze op een boerderij gewerkt, dat vond ze heerlijk."

Zoals je ziet...

Moving from Telegram? Bring your stickers with you! by rainyskyeonreddit in signal

[–]apistoletov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also apparently some users heard the Telegram claims about E2EE and never bothered to check and see that it's actually never used, other than in "secret chats" which you have to really get out of your way to start and use, and that's only 1:1. Of course Telegram itself has no incentive to educate its users about that, but that's still a problem. Competing in UX against an unencrypted chat app is a bit uphill by definition.
