Also, most young kids play games on phones and tablets, because parents don’t need to buy an expensive console or PC.
Check this out this short by a game developer if you want to feel old…

Forum.Rojadirecta.es has nodes dedicated to pretty much any major sporting events: Soccer, NFL, MLB, F1, NBA, Rugby Union, et al.
Mostly they’re direct downloads from sites with way too much advertising, too many popups and misleading links, so they’re best handled with JDownloader2
Actual torrent links are available sometimes.

“Engaged in insurrection” means exactly that.
It doesn’t mean they succeeded, it doesn’t mean they just thought about it, it certainly doesn’t say anything about an act of Congress.
He assembled the mob, and literally gave them their marching orders that January 6th.
If that isn’t worth at least a participation trophy, then I don’t know what is.
I disagree somewhat.
A lot of high tech development comes with a greed motive, e.g. IPO, or getting bought out by a large company seeking to enter the space, e.g. Google buying Android, or Facebook buying Instagram and Oculus.
And conversely, a lot of open source software are copies of commercially successful products, albeit they only become widely adopted after the originals have entered the enshittified phase of their life.
Is there a Lemmy without Reddit? Is there a Mastodon without Twitter? Is there LibreOffice without Microsoft Office and decades of commercial word processors and spreadsheets before that? Or OpenOffice becoming enshittified for that matter? Is there qBittorrent without uTorrent enshittified? Is there postgreSQL without IBM’s DB2?
The exception that I can see is social media and networked services that require active network and server resources, like Facebook YouTube, or even Dropbox and Evernote.
Okay, The WELL is still around and is arguably the granddaddy of all online services, and has avoided enshittification, but it isn’t really open source.
Depends on what exactly each poll is asking or saying.
If you go by popular vote, Biden could be well ahead in that demographic.
But 1) Not all young people vote, andas a whole they lag far behind compared to other age groups, particularly ages 45+
And 2) The popular vote is greatly negated by the electoral college.
So If you want to become President, one way is to appeal to what old people in Red states can be persuaded to believe.
I’m neutral impoverished.
Actually, staying on a bike with the kickstand down is hard because the bike leans over, the kickstand only props up the back end of the bike, and a rider makes the bike top heavy towards the front.
Slogging through Norman Spinrad’s Bug Jack Barron
Usually I love Spinrad, but this is just so dated: The idea that a TV talk show host with a massive audience is holding the rich and powerful accountable, as opposed to pandering to them…

That Trump is actually paying his lawyers is the real news.
The corollary is “You get what you pay for”
Actually the atmosphere on the Borg planet didn’t look that great.
They’re not really into fresh air and suntans.

I think you’re misunderstanding what the article is saying.
You’re correct that it isn’t the job of a system to detect someone’s skin color, and judge those people by it.
But the fact that AVs detect dark skinned people and short people at a lower effectiveness is a reflection of the lack of diversity in the tech staff designing and testing these systems as a whole.
They staff are designing the AVs to safely navigate in a world of people like them, but when the staff are overwhelmingly male, light skinned, young and single, and urban, and in the United States, a lot of considerations don’t even cross their minds.
Will the AVs recognize female pedestrians?
Do the sensors sense light spectrum wide enough to detect dark skinned people?
Will the AVs recognize someone with a walker or in a wheelchair, or some other mobility device?
Toddlers are small and unpredictable.
Bicyclists can fall over at any moment.
Are all these AVs being tested in cities being exposed to all the animals they might encounter in rural areas like sheep, llamas, otters, alligators and other animals who might be in the road?
How well will AVs tested in urban areas fare on twisty mountain roads that suddenly change from multi lane asphalt to narrow twisty dirt roads?
Will they recognize tractors and other farm or industrial vehicles on the road?
Will they recognize something you only encounter in a foreign country like an elephant or an orangutan or a rickshaw? Or what’s it going to do if it comes across that tomato festival in Spain?
Engineering isn’t magical: It’s the result of centuries of experimentation and recorded knowledge of what works and doesn’t work.
Releasing AVs on the entire world without testing them on every little thing they might encounter is just asking for trouble.
What’s required for safe driving without human intelligence is more mind boggling the more you think about it.
The moment those Chinese EV startups enter the US market, Tesla will be in real trouble if they don’t have their product quality image problem fixed by then.
It’ll be like Detroit’s Big 3 automakers tanking when small fuel efficient Japanese cars landed in the 70s oil crisis.
Assuming those Chinese EV companies don’t have their own quality problems…

3·1 year agoIt takes a lot of things to happen before a post gets federated to another instances.
This thread is supposed to explain it: https://lemmy.ml/post/1408175
Cross-instance content transmission is so poor, that de-federation is a moot point.
You effectively have to sign up for your own lemmynsfw account if you actually want to access most of the content that is posted there.
Irony because here I am posting cross-instance.
The prisoner, Dotson, was “found dead” so who knows how many hours the body was lying there.
That pretty much precludes any use of the heart for transplant.
His relatives said they received the body in a decomposed state, but that could have been poor storage by the coroner before or after the autopsy, or the body might have been well hidden inside the prison so it was a long time before someone found it.
The article isn’t very clear on the condition of the body at each stage of handling.
What’s in the article is probably all the information that the reporter could get out of the prison authority, the state Department of Forensic Sciences, and the University.
