I got a '21 VW Golf and, similarly, it’s physical controls for everything I really want and touch screen for the GPS/media center. I can still change volume and tracks with physical buttons on the steering wheel, so that’s all fine.
Kinda miss the Civic. I love the hatchback on the golf and it is a delight to drive, but I think it’s like half a ton heavier than the Civic and that’s not as nice. Still gets phenomenal milage tho
I have some. They really suck ass. You can muddle through but it’s not really an ideal solution.
I got 3 (Volume rocker and power) and it feels like plenty.
It’s been so long since I had more than 3 and I’m curious. I had an iPhone for work, that had a 4th, the home button on the bottom center of the touch screen and I hated that. What do you want from physical buttons on the phone?
Thank fuck. So glad I managed to dodge the cars with all touch screen controls. I got one as a loaner after my Civic was totaled in an accident (Thank u for buying me a new car, uninsured, out-of-state white supremacist with a truck too big for any reasonable use!) and it used the touch screen to control the climate control! I had to look away from the road to change the heating!
Just stupid.
Give me simple buttons and knobs I can feel and fix. Capacitives, touch screens, all that nonsense should stick to phones.
I’m okay with the phone being a touch screen. The rest can go back to normal.
Well, I can’t watch the actual introductions because they’re all stuck on Instagram, but the trailer posted seemed… fine, I guess. It seemed kinda action forward but that’s just part of some episodes. The writing seemed a little sloppy? Like Picardo saying “we got X injured but no casualties”. Casualties include injured, don’t they? Also maybe it was just me but everyone’s mouths looked like they were moving kinda weird during the action shots. Maybe that’s a playback issue tho.
I thought about that, and while there’s probably some value in diversifying the approaches, I’d worry about the potential backlash of people thinking anyone trashing a company is a bot.
I think the key to success is making it memetically hilarious to be incredibly toxic towards any company.
Fuck those pieces of shit they can huff my farts!
I think we gotta shift social media to be wildly hostile to every and any company. We gotta bully companies such that it’s risky business to advertise on social media.
Social media can never truly belong to the people as long as advertisers wanna use it for their own means. We gotta get mean and indiscriminate.
Every corporations post and page should be filled with hatred and disdain, toxicity heretofore unfound online.
This person is a bit crazy for using this as a springboard for their posting, but I will say that I got far better at making new friends and flirting after doing cold call telesales for work.
GenAI in its current state seems hard set on ruining the wealth of information we’ve collected and put on the internet.
These LLM recipes are a serious problem, they’re incredibly frustrating to encounter and getting more annoying to avoid. At this stage, if it’s not on a site I already trust, it’s more guidelines and concept than a recipe proper, since you can’t be sure a human has even tried making this thing yet.
Well I’m sure the snakes don’t call him a saint…
Hey now that’s pretty rude, haven’t you considered that its very very hard being The One True Leftist?
As was Sealab 2021
I can see your point and perhaps I’m too idealistic to think the relevant authorities can walk and chew gum at the same time, but I am admittedly idealistic.
This guy wasn’t nailed on the CSAM game alone. The game is an indicator that he’s a person who is going to be consuming other CSAM.
Of course there should be more resources dedicated to preventing child abuse. That’s the issue, and not one likely to be addressed, in the US, while the highest office in the nation is filled by a pedophile. But this case didn’t occur in the US and the prioritization of which CSAM to remove first shouldn’t be a discussion, but rather it should be the allocation of more resources.
It’s not “just drawings”. It’s still child sexual abuse materials.
Dismissing pedophilic hentai as “cartoon drawings” is exactly the kind of behavior that promotes the Nazi Bar for pedophiles phenomenon I mentioned in my post. Stop making safe spaces for pedophiles.
To address your reply, I don’t think those actions are mutually exclusive. Both are CSAM and should be treated as such.
Sorry, but pedophilia is vastly different than coprophilia and other outlandish fetishes in the scale of harm to others and the inability for it to ever be consensual.
I could talk about how pedophiles also tend to seek positions where they hold power dynamics over children, even ones who don’t act on their desires, increasing the likelihood of abuse, but I think your point is moreso about a hypothetical pedophile who doesn’t act on their desires, doesn’t acquire CSAM, doesn’t surround themselves with children and simply struggles internally with their fetish and actively seeks professional help on how to maintain a safe life for themselves and others.
Yes, I suppose that person doesn’t need any government intervention in their lives outside of the monitoring you suggested.
That said, this particular article is about a man who did seek out, acquire and consume CSAM instead of seeking therapy. The government detected this and removed him from society such that he cannot be a threat to children. That sounds about right.
I’m not sure if the Norwegian prison system is more focused on reform vs punitive measures, though I would hope that it should go without saying that the former is always ideal and the latter isn’t actually helpful to society.
Lmao
