Same risk with a driver, I’d guess.

Revamped the concept.

I once tried to delete something I was not supposed to and the system was quite adamant on advising against it. The system was to be reinstalled so I was just trying things.

It’s been a while but I recall the system giving me a first warning that my command woud delete X, Y and Z, which could render the system inoperable.

Then it questioned me if I was sure I wanted to proceed with the operation.

The final warning was a sum of the potential damage I would do to the system and that it would be irreversible, without a full system install.

So, three strikes.

The entire car. Not the infotainement alone.

Isn’t that a japanese thing? With cafes where you go to talk with a person?

But back to the subject at hand.

I could see this as a way to get someone’s help to take some groceries home or some large object a single person can’t, as it is too akward to hold alone.

Or as a personal guide or to have company to go to/through somewhere someone does not feel comfortable.

I don’t say this much but that is actually a good idea, considering the amount of people that live very lonely and isolated lives. Maybe this can help some people to talk, enjoy another’s company, etc. Maybe. Everything else the effing internet and tech companies tried only managed to push people apart…

Thank you!

Wipeout was one of the few games that made me want to play it from the moment I first saw it.

The concept was novel, the graphics were beautiful, how all the ships moved and reacted (in game physics) seemed a level above.

Never played it, unfortunately.

If there was a port for PC, under linux, I’d do my best to get it, today.

I’ve seen Linux kernels powering eletrical instalations control monitors. I’d risk we can say that if it runs on electric impulses, it can run Linux.

When will EVs be jailbroken?

People would have to kneel, in order to do so. It’s about humiliation and asserting dominance, in weak mentalities.

What is that?

Don’t have one. Can’t.

Violence is always an option.

But…

Violence is not the answer, it is the question. And, when circumstances call for it, the answer is “yes”.

The US is on the verge of collapse, in my view. Make use of your 2nd. Everyone is tired of hearing about it.

The US system baffles me.

No way an unelected individual would take office in my country.

If the president dies, the national assembly president assumes the role, internally, and is mandated, by force of law, to schedule elections to within 90 days.

The only time an unelected person was nominated for a government role in this country ended terribly, with the president disbanding the national assembly and scheduling elections in less than 30 days after the apointment and the appointment had been aproved by the national assembly.

I’m missing your point.

I paid exactly for what I was looking for, which was an affordable rugged phone, with hardware adequate for my daily needs for a few years.

Until today, I haven’t had any issue with the phone.

So I’m having a hard time understanding your remark.

I sometimes float the idea in my brain to learn how to code. If I ever come to it, I want to debate and discuss my work with another human. Not a machine.

Personal preference.

I won’t hold my breath on it.

Up until this minute, AI has produced plentiful examples of how it can produce anything but good code.

I’d rather have a developer writing software, slowly, because they have an intelectual itch and want to try and see the outcome of their idea than the proverbial army of monkeys furiously typing away.

We are, actually. We didn’t ask to exist. It was forced onto us by a cruel god that thought it would be neat to make humans.

We aren’t owed nothing.

I’m going to take a hit and say I made a poor job at explaining myself and clarify that, for the creed I mentioned, the creator entity did not made humans. What the creator entity did was set off the unfolding of reality as we perceive it: the Universe. Humans contained within it are off shoots of causality.

There was never a direct nor directed intention to create humanity, thus, nothing is owed to it.

The premise is that anything to exist is better than nothing. If the Universe was to be populated with barren rocks and flaming balls of matter - which is, mostly - without humanity to perceive it that creation mythos was already fullfilled.

If we think back to the dumpster baby, god created a child and threw them in a dumpster. For fun. It doesn’t get to wash its hands and say “I don’t owe them anything, it’s up to them to survive.” It’s still responsible for creation and it is derelict in its duty.

That premise is the premise of the christian, islamic, jewish, and all other self appointed omnipotent creating entities. Those entities claim to have created humanity, in their image, to ocuppy a world they devised for that specific purpose. A world created in such a way that, nonetheless, humans make use of their own agency to tamper and distort.

I’m not a believer but that is the short and dirty version of those myths: the world was perfect, until humans decided they weren’t completely happy with it. Which leads us back to pointing fingers at the creator, for making a poor job.

This is a circular discussion.

Who is responsible for birth defects?

Biology, genetics and environmental causes. And poor judgment from the parents. So, it depends.

For natural disaster?

I guess… physics, primordially? Followed by stuborness, shortsightness and stupidity of humans?

For sickness?

Virus, bacteria, exposure, malnourishment, and others?

These things aren’t choices […]

A good part is outside our capability to act upon, I will gladly grant you that. But there are parts where we can in fact influence the outcome.

[…] and we aren’t responsible for them, […]

The moment any individual realizes something shoul not be in such a way, that individual can take responsibility to avoid or mitigate it.

[…] they happen because god created a cruel world for us to suffer and die in. God created the dumpster and threw us in.

At best, reality is indeferent to what happens to an individual, a species, a planet, a star system or even a galaxy.

We have been setting our course in reality from the moment we achieved sentience and consciousness. We find things cruel, unfair, whatever, because they do not favour us. We’re owed nothing for existing. We take a debt towards each other in helping exist in such reality.

There are no gods nor higher powers to shift blame here. We’re here, now, and we have to deal with it. We can choose to try to make this world better for others or allow it to follow its own devises or even actively make it worse.

Individual agency. The stage is set: write and enact your own play.
