100℅ lol

Right, I’m super pro open source but most normal people don’t give a shit. Sure I think those people are stupid, but it doesn’t change reality.

Ya their top tier plan was $150 for 1 Gig down 30 Mbps up, 1.25 TB data cap. You could pay an extra $20 a month for"unlimited " but they only allowed you to pay for “unlimited” on their top speed plan. Like I said their unlimited was also a straight up lie.

To be fair at that house I had roomates so we were all splitting it 4 ways.

I feel your pain, I was stuck with Cox for many years and was paying $170 a month for one gig down, 30 megs up. Unlimited data. But the unlimited data was a lie because they called and threatened me once because I was uploading too much, apparently uploading doesn’t count for the unlimited data. Stupid assholes.

I was fortunate enough to move recently to a house that actually had fiber. My fiber provider just raised the price of their lowest plan, which is the one I’m on, 500 Mbps symmetrical for $65 a month. It used to be $50 a month. However, they lowered the price of all their faster plans. If I wanted, I could get 8 gigs symmetrical for $150 a month. That’s less than I was paying for Cox just a year ago for 1 gig fake unlimited.

At my current provider, all their plans are truly unlimited, even the lowest tier one like the one I’m on.

Not to be rude but I if the clothing is almost double the fabric a cost increase is reasonable. Although double might be a bit too much since fabric really isn’t the main cost of clothing.

I fucking hate cloths shoping, buying cloths is the most annoying part. I actually just bought new cloths, I haven’t purchased new clotheing in many many years and more than half of my current shirts have numerous holes around the arm/neck areas. I think the holes add character but I feel like I look homeless and unkept. Not that I care but I feel bad for my partner, so I bought new cloths.

Or just mix potassium permanganate and glycerine and it will ignite the thermite.

I use to make, sell, and ship thermite online when I was 15. It’s easy for anyone to do

I’m very excited for Apreras vehicles and hope they are successful. Their whole philosophy is hyper efficient vehicles and they are committed to open repair and bring consumer friendly.

They seem to be the only company making cars or attempting to make cars that makes a point to say that they will make it as easy as possible for you to control, repair and fix your own vehicle.

Arguably incorrect statement from you, and either way humans already make more mistakes, fatal mistakes, compared to a full self driving car system like Waymo.

Getting a ride in an autonomous Waymo is safer than an Uber.

I also use Firefox on my work computer, I need to quickly authorize a login in the browser before the local “app” opens (“app” because it’s just a webpage pretending to be an app) and I just recently got a notification that slack won’t support Firefox anymore so please switch to chrome. The fucking animals.

I’m just telling you how it is, people’s feelings on this won’t stop the march of progress. Machines will take over most driving tasks, it’s inevitable.

“A man can notice a mistake and correct it, a machine will continue as if everything is fine.” Even if this is 100% true you already say yourself that machine driving will still be safer “user error to fuck it up for every body.” User error will 100% be why autonomous vehicles will be overall significantly safer to use and be around vs manual driving vehicles.

Na driverless cars are the future and tens of thousands of people will be saved from car accident deaths per year once most cars are automated. And this may happen in my lifetime which is cool.

You have a bad take imo.

It is crazy, and as I said in another comment this is going to be exponential. We will have many mega constellations like starlink in the next decade.

Not necessarily a “starlink trail” you took a photo of a satellite, could be starlink could be something else. Also the astrophotography mode on the pixels is purdy cool and fun to mess around with

In the next decade we will have maybe a dozen companies or entities with mega constellations like starlink, this issue will only get worse not better. Ground based astronomy for scientific purposes seems like it’s reached the end of being feasible.

I actually don’t know what people’s hesitancy is, but I’ve seen numerous people say proton is not good, we’ll see if anybody chimes in with a reason.

Besides the cost of terminals, this problem has been solved by starlink and soon project kuiper.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ , I can do every normal thing I wanna do in a GUI on Fedora
