In all honesty, the wideness of modern cars may actually be their downfall. I live in a suburban area (Not US, but that doesn’t matter it’s become everyone’s problem.) and the roads were designed for cars to be parked on either side and two, narrow lanes in the middle where people could, slowly, get past each other, with a certain amount of tolerance (i.e. space).

Then came an EPA ruling in the states (late 90’s I think) and trucks were immune to sensible laws and all the car companies made trucks that were immune to being too wide (among other things). They became objects of desire. Cars followed, because everyone wants a thick phallus I guess, or maybe needs to see the road when there’s a fat car next to them, or one with tinted windows, and I’m nowhere near to a legal solution in a global economy.

Practical upshot, local roads are only one lane wide because of fat cars parked on either side with no regard to practicality, add endless renovation because property development is the one true way to richness /s, even though rich people already own the good land, and control their local environment.

TLDR, fat cars break suburban roads.

Ain’t it though? Been nice to me…

Earl is me in the past that did something for me now, thanks Earl(ier on).

Ron (LateRON) is who I do it for. Do it for Ron, be grateful to Earl. Self-sufficiency 101.

I upvoted, but mine’s a sighthound and she don’t care…

wut? I VPN all the time (for niche stuff Lemmy’s not there yet with).

The more people, the better the platform. It’s that easy.

Hard disagree, quality matters as much or perhaps more than quantity. A billion Nazi network is still Nazi, see Xitter for instance.

Thanks, got a new term today.

Yup, call the virtue signalling bitches out, open weights is fine, which is not to say I don’t appreciate local LLMs being given out, even if it’s just for the free research on their models, but open source it is not.

It’s my headcannon, but I give Gandalf points for forcing the fighter jet into a helicopter arena.

Someone just removed many lifetimes of CO2 emissions with a couple of lines of code.

Shame that usage will just expand to fill the gap. Thanks late stage capitalism. Degrowth.

I like FreshRSS in a container, works great from a browser, and you can hit it from your phone on the loo…

Hardest of all is making AI that realistically plays like a human does.

However it is being worked on and coming along, you can play one here

K, it’s a problem.

Android ;}

Glad we have a resolution.

It’s been a time. Happy to be called out by Miles Damn O’Brien.

You’re welcome on my boat. God ain’t.
