That's what happens when you have a reasonable sensor suite with LIDAR, instead of trying to rely entirely on cameras like Tesla does.

Do you prefer trackballs, trackpads or vertical mice? in c/mechanical_keyboards@programming.dev

Tracksballs, since I developed carpal tunnel from mice as a teenager.

It demonstrates that nothing on the fediverse is private, and bad hacks that pretend otherwise are a terrible idea.

There's easily over a thousand fediverse instances at this point, having to whitelist them all would be impractical.

Yeah, I did mine like 15 years ago around when they first started accepting international orders (At the time they didn't even have labs in the UK and they paid to TNT overnight ship my spit to America)

Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Some forum software is starting to support activitypub with plugins. If they add the plugin then you can follow and interact with the forum from Lemmy. The best option for everyone is to start pestering forum admins to add those plugins so they get users and Lemmy gets more content.

Long term creating migration scripts for popular forum software like phpBB, so content, users, etc, can be moved to a custom Lemmy instance would be an option.
