Hold up.

You stated that Musk's bastardization of the greatest electrical engineering to ever live's legacy is untrustworthy.

You then stated that the driver could have made a mistake.

You then reason that both things voild he true at the same time.

Your conclusion is that we shouldn't talk about this specific incident of the unreliable narrator, because we just don't know.

Why?

Is it because we don't have this conversation when other automakers have issues?

The reason we don't is because the other automakers DO have the man stakes but they generally aren't unreliable narrators.

Why? Because at some point the people said, "hey, no it's pretty fucked up what these companies are doing. We should demand more transparency and laws to hold these companies accountable."

It worked so well that legacy companies like Honda recall their products when they're defective, 100k cars recalled this month.

Consumers don't consistently question these companies because they generally do what's expected of them.

Don't let a shady Nazi run company off the hook because other companies hold themselves to higher standards.

Yea, honestly this pencil (and eventually a metal version of this) was like the BIFL of all my school supplies.

I'd get one, maybe a 2 pack, at most once a year. College, I had a metal version that lasted me all 4 years.

Give a kid one nice pencil or 2 pencils, and they won't lose it. Give em an abundance and they'll most definitely lose em.

When I was carless living in a food desert I found the easiest way to go grocery shopping was with a backpack.

Maybe. It's been done to a degree, 1971, 4 years ago.

Wasn't sure how much the hobby evolved since then. I asked hobbyist level as the lowest barrier to entry, but even wondering if something at a lighter scale than Intel could repurpose old CPUs or other ICs.

 

If so, roughly what year electronic could be user by hobbyists?

Would it be better to abandon the existing transistors and etch the gaps or could the old be integrated?

Would it be a green process or would the process be too wasteful for any potential gains from re-using old electronics?

Why might it not be for me? It looks sharp!

All of this makes sense and you were dead on with assumptions! Thank you!

Its looking good to me! I can't figure out if the 5 family members is the max that could upload pictures or if 20 or so people could occasionally upload pictures to designated folders. Do you know?

What would be some of the benefits of Immich? Is it just a lot of upfront tinkering or constant tinkering?

Thanks! With both of these, can anyone with access add pictures? Predominantly its coming from my fiance and I, but I could see up to 20 people wanting to upload their own pictures of our baby.

Also, is there any service that allows for comments/light social media features?

I love the end-to-end encryption!

 

I have a baby and I've been real wary of posting her pictures on social media. My fiance is Inna similar boat but more OK with big tech (or at least, doesn't have the tech background to look for alternatives).

My family lives far away. Right now, we just text pictures every week. But I'd like to have a place where we could share the pictures, and maybe everytime we share it'd send an email to those that want to see them updating - something they should be able to set (my mom would want notifications every time, my siblings might prefer a weekly digest).

Basically, Google Photos would work. Instagram or Facebook might be better. But I don't want big tech feeding my baby to AI.

I have a post covid laptop (Dell Inspiron) that I don't use much. Occasionally, I do use it, could I self host on that? I don't think I can justify a service being more than $30ish a month.

I'm thinking about creating an instance of Pixelfed (or whatever its actually called)

I obviously want it to be locked the fuck down. My sister in law is having a baby soon too, I think if they like our photo sharing method, they might want to use ours. Would I be able to give them control to choose who can view pictures of their baby? I've like how on Lemmy the owner of the instance has to individually approve people, but I wouldn't want to be doing that for my sister in laws family - just give her and hubby access to approve and deny.

Is paid web hosting the better and less techy way to go about this? I don't work in tech, and I don't have lots of time to troubleshoot, so the easier the better, if there's a trustworthy service for my needs too. I'm not too intimidated by a more difficult/techy setup, but I want low maintenance. If I do use a web hosting service, does anyone have recommendations for ethical hosts that won't just feed our data to AI? Obviously not using AWS.

What's happening September 30?

[–] A_be_seedy@beehaw.org 3 points 1 week ago

I'm in too. No bishop making rules without elections though. But we should definitely learn the pretzel recipe.

Yea! I feel that, put the kiddo to sleep then wake all the pokemon and make them build a building. What island are you at?

 

I've been building the Shore Store and the Jersey Shore House from the MTV show Jersey Shore.

At first I thought it would be an easy build that I could house a couple of pokemen and be done with it, and it'd be kinda funny.

But here I am like 3 weeks later trying to get it 100% accurate. I don't really know any pokemon, so boy was I surprised when Magmortar popped up because I built a habitat. I had no idea that there would be a pokemon so close in look to Angelina.

I'll probably move Machop in, because his hair kinda looks like the Situation's currently does.
