Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

  • The FBI estimates that between 2,000 and 2,500 people entered the Capitol Building during the attack, some of whom participated in vandalism and looting, including in the offices of then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Congress members.

    So you think there’s only 2000 police officers in the USA? That 100% of them are at polling places harassing people and have a coverage of all polling places in America?

    The fuck looney world are you all going on about? Your own source says

    Nearly 30 sworn police officers from a dozen departments

    Okay so at worst that’s 30 polling places. And somehow this is something to bring up like it’s going to be a statistical probability. This constant ACAB bullshit has infected you all and it’s disappointing.

    30 out of 21000 polling places is not “quite possibly” get out of here.

    Edit: There’s an estimated 900k police officers in the country. 30 did something you think is shitty, therefore the other 899.999k are also bad and will be there to make you regret voting and harass you! What a silly stupid argument.





  • Real Autopilot also needs constant attention

    Newer “real” autopilot systems absolutely do not need constant attention. Many of them can do full landing sequences now. The definition would match what people commonly use it for, not what it was “originally”. Most people believe autopilot to be that it pilots itself automatically. There is 0 intuition about what a pilot actually does in the cockpit for most normal people. And technology bares out that thought process as autopilot in it’s modern form can actually do 99% of flying, where take-off and landing isn’t exempted anymore.




  • I don’t like what this bit of information is doing to discussions in Lemmy.

    Cool. That’s fine that you don’t like it. However people have a right to not see what they don’t want to see. If they decide that means it’s lemmy.ml, then that’s their right.

    Just like I have a right to not peer with lemmy.ml if I didn’t want to.

    Hell I have a hard block on ALL Russian and Chinese IP addresses. Not because I have something against the people. But I just don’t want to deal with the headache of accepting traffic from those countries.

    Just because some (or even a majority) of the people on lemmy.ml are fine to interact with doesn’t mean that there isn’t contention from other users and admins on that instance.


  • non-standard functionality of the latter.

    My guy. In the 90’s ALL browsers were non-standard. Even at the protocol level.
    http/0.9 - 1991
    http/1.0 - 1996
    http/1.1 - 1997

    html/1.0 - 1991
    html/2.0 - 1995 revised in 1996, and 97.
    html/3.0 - 1997
    html/4.0 - 1997 revised in 1998, 99, and 2000.

    Then comes all the add-ons like flash, shockwave, etc… Nothing was standard at this time-frame. We threw everything possible into browsers. Toolbars for literally everything (I remember even having winamp controls in my browser).

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Evolution_of_HTTP

    Between 1991-1995, these were introduced with a try-and-see approach. A server and a browser would add a feature and see if it got traction.

    Literally sites and browsers would just implement stuff just to implement and see if it became used.

    A lot of recent times (2010’s mostly) has been back peddling the mad rush of just shoving EVERYTHING into browsers. Now I actually fear we’re going to far though… With google removing useful backend stuff for plugins and such. I just hope Firefox never follows suit.






  • I’ll have a map where you have to prevent a nuclear meltdown

    Who would want to play a game where there’s nothing to do?

    In every nuclear reactor we’ve ever had issues with it took ignoring engineers or specifically bypassing normal operations procedures to cause.

    In your game… the answer would be “do nothing”. Game over, you win.



  • That’s still a limitation on bandwidth, not data volume. It’s still the bandwidth that costs money, not the volume.

    Not really. OFDMA and other modulation mechanisms for doing dense wireless connectivity do have limitations on number of active connections based on frequency (not necessarily data bandwidth) available. Someone communicating constantly will eat up way more slots than their neighbors.
    https://www.5gtechnologyworld.com/the-basics-of-5gs-modulation-ofdm/
    Wireless is a shared resource that cannot be guarded. This is not the case with cables… Where that bandwidth limitation is never encroached upon (short of the North American Fiber-Seeking Backhoe… Shown here:)

    In short, someone taking less slots means that service for everyone is better. A cap can keep those slots open as people would be incentivized to use it less.

    The alternative is that they install more wireless transmitters but dial the power down so there’s more cells. Except this will have alternative problems in penetrating into buildings and such. So that’s not really an answer either. And with way more hand-offs you’ll run into more problems using your cellphone anyway.
