Misinformation is still not ok.

Big yawn

Microsoft is so… Old people stuff

Shit’s fucked

Exactly. Companies are typically working on multiple conflicting scenarios because you don’t know which it’s going to be

Maybe take your irony detector to the repair shop, I think it may be faulty

Oh man! Yes!

Dutch traffic infrastructure. It’s incredibly safe, promotes walking, bicycling and public transport, well maintained and easy to understand. There’s a reason the largest Youtube channel on urban planning center around the Netherlands experience (and how other places could learn): https://youtube.com/@notjustbikes

Liking Voyager, after trying a few unsuccessfully. This is the first one that rivals the old Reddit Is Fun for me

Mandatory reporting strikes again. This person didn’t get the medical help they needed because they didn’t want police involved. This is exactly why doctors can’t share your medical information with anyone: because then people will keep secrets from their doctors and the entire medical field suffers

Chrome got popular at introduction because it was much faster at loading and displaying websites. Sure, there was a marketing push by Google, but it succeeded on the products merits and not some unfair business advantage. It still is a great browser.

We do need antitrust protections but not always because consumers are getting a bad product. It’s more about the balance of power. Maybe their products are good now, or their business practices are fair now to other market actors, but you never know when that will change and then it’s too late. It’s like you need safeguards against autocracy also when they’re genuinely doing good job of running the country, because it’s never worth it in the long run when they inevitably start doing nasty shit

I do! Thanks for the suggestion

My most watched movies:
Jurassic Park

But you know all of those already. Here’s one you probably haven’t seen: Love me some stage play adapted to movie. Doubt (2008)

How is that different from blaming poor people they have a bad work ethic?

Not sure what you mean. Blinding headlights is definitely worse in the last two decades

Lighting is the determining factor? I think the real problem is speed. With kids coming out of nowhere, people need to drive slower. With some regular low beams you should see plenty, no need to light up the whole neighborhood

Your low beams were fine 20 years ago. Don’t create this expectation in drivers that they have to turn night into day. That only adds to the problem of asshole drivers prioritizing their ability to see over other people’s ability to see. Matrix headlights are unnecessary and create orders of magnitude more light pollution

Blinding headlights are due to poorly aligned low beams, too bright LED headlights, bigger cars with their headlights mounted higher and higher. So the solutions are: low beam alignment that can’t be made to blind you by the driver, regulation on luminosity and color spectrum of lights, stop financial incentives to make vehicles large, heavier, deadlier.
