So, I’m guessing this is an allegory about society’s attitude of “boys will be boys”.

The fog was not the point.

Okay here’s a situation. You’re on a road and it’s gotten foggy and the roads are a bit slick because of the fog. All of a sudden the comfortable 68° temperature you have the cabin set to is causing your windshield to fog up. On a car with buttons and knobs you can just reach over grab it twist a knob or press a button and change the setting. However, with touch screen menus you have to actually turn to look at the screen, taking your eyes off the road in unsafe weather, to find the setting to switch it to defog. That’s just one scenario there are at least a dozen others. Not to mention what would happen when it’s snowing out and you have to take your eyes off the road to search a touch screen for the right setting on anything. Radio, brights, 4 wheel drive, etc etc etc…

Maybe the problem in our society is the people who are only motivated by profit.

Tesla sales were driven by an $8,000 tax credit that doesn’t exist anymore. That company is sinking faster than the Titanic now that the tax credit has disappeared.

Touchscreens are cheaper to install than tactile buttons. That’s the draw for carmakers.

A few, like Tesla, have successfully made cars that act and feel like consumer devices—vehicles with lots of tech features, **** and a steady stream of meaningful software updates. Most are playing catch-up.

“smooth digital interfaces”

Nobody actually fucking wants this!

I have it piping audio to three different devices at the same time. And believe it or not they’re all in sync… most of the time.

Ok hear me out… MAGNETS

Hundreds of em all in a big ball. Tie it to a counterweight and then spin that fucker through lower orbit like a skip-it and soak up all the debris!

Nothing could possibly go wrong.

And then shared it with the rest of us. Way to be part of the problem.

Yes, and it’s highly debatable as to whether or not they actually did the study. In order to move City councils you need political pressure.

While I think it’s bullshit that the city seems to be continually ignoring these citizens concerns, this guy just taking it upon himself to install stop signs and other traffic signals is not ok.

If he wants action he needs more than just a handful of his neighbors’ signatures. The city is a political entity, you want action you need to go for the political jugular. Admittedly, a story in a large newspaper or online publication like this is one way to get that sort of attention, but an arrest is not going to help your case. In this age where video surveillance is easy to set up I would have set up a camera at the location and documented every single near miss and if the city ignored that I would have taken it to YouTube and a local news station with a super cut of near misses at that location.

There are multiple ways of going about things like this, flouting the law is not the best.

I’m not sure cause I can’t remember which one it was, we have two sisters who are all but identical and I can’t see the collar color in this pic, but it’s either Fei Fei or Bungee. (They were named after my niece’s favorite characters from the movie Over the Moon.)

As a protest I prefer to just take any money with that pervert’s signature on it back to the bank and ask for clean money. Or, if that’s made impossible, just stop using cash all together.

Oglaf has set such a high bar for being both horney and funny that it’s something of a mount everest for others to climb to their heights.

I better question in terms of the teeth of the laws is, are there any real consequences to an operating system provider just ignoring them and not providing any kind of age verification in their software whatsoever?

The question I assume will get answered soon enough by GrapheneOS since they have told everyone asking for OS age verification to go pound sand.

Didn’t they shitcan the age verification thing in systemd and they fire the guy who put it in? Or was that just a joke post?

He didn’t go MAGA, he always was. Same for Sorbo and same for Jim Caviezel.
