This should not be considered an accident. This is the expected outcome of the US cuts to FAA. This was social murder.

Uh, i'm mostly confused why ther'es both a lemmy and a piefed when they do the same thing. Do I need to care about piefed.ca?

AFAIK the BYD cars are basically the Chinese version of Teslas - bristling with cameras and internet and computer.

I'd drive a Chinese car but not something like that.

We basically immediately had to shut down our downtown public library the moment the safe sites closed here in Hamilton.

Yeah, Chromecast has been kind of a disaster for Google imho, in that it never got widespread adoption in TVs. If they'd pushed an open standard they might've been able to get that over the finish-line and get buy-in from 3rd parties. But instead every smart TV and smart phone has its own video streaming approach, it seems.

Right but I'm specifically referring to devices where their USB-C port is capable of full video out.

Yeah, I have a pixel 7 and was disappointed on vacation to learn that its USB-C port can't do video when I wanted to plug it into a hotel room TV.

I don't get why this is a Pixel thing at all and not an Android thing though. Shouldn't any Android OS device that can do full video output over USB-C be able to do this?

Building 7

One of these things just doesn't belong here, one of these things is not like the other ones.

This is why I have conspiracy theories about the conspiracy theories about government-provided digital ID. We could have social media that allows us to know who is verified as a real Canadian human being and who is a truly-anonymous account.

But instead we're going to get "give your photos to Peter Thiel", which is a tech that doesn't solve the problem of anonymous disinfo-peddlers with shadowy backing, but does give the evilest people in the world a way to track you.

Especially since its' pretty easy to just flag an account on Microsoft or Google as a child account. If they really wanted to just detect children online so that sites can properly enforce adult-only rules, the browser could send that as a header flag.
