That means that at best the biker was partially at fault.

I disagree. I think a likely scenario is that the cyclist was riding close to the right curb, and was being passed by the ambulance that then makes a sudden right turn, turning into the cyclist, as the article states. How would that be any fault of the cyclist?

You're asserting your view based on an ambiguity. The picture and story could easily depict the ambulance overtaking and turning into the cyclist. You seem dead set on making this the cyclist's fault when that assertion is just not supported by the facts given in the article.

You mean the part of the article where it says the ambulance "turned into him"?

You're making assumptions based on vague wording in the article and your preconceived notions of cyclist behavior. You don't actually know what happened.

I’ll never understand why people attribute to the Russian government what was in the obvious best-interests of the Republican Party and the conservative movement.

Maybe because there was a demonstrated and provable coordinated effort by the Russian government in the 2016 election to get Trump elected? Look up project lakhta. Russian election interference and the efforts of the domestic conservative movement can (and do) exist simultaneously.

What do you have against attributing to the Russian government actions that are demonstrably attributable to the Russian government?

except Sci-hub hasn't been adding new papers since 2020. Anna's Archive is a better bet, because they aggregate both sci-hub and libgen, among others. They also make torrents available for data hoarders.

I got a can of chicken broth, knocked a slot into the top with a flathead screwdriver and a hammer, poured out the stock and rinsed and dried the can. It lives in the cabinet beneath my sink and I drop my blades in it when I'm done with them. That was about 10 years ago. The thing is maybe a third full.

What is the second browser from the bottom on the right?

[-] bobo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but they were testing the waters with this one. The hydra's going to grow another head eventually. It'll be interesting to see how/if the media integrity API gets leveraged in the Android Chrome browser. They're eventually going to attack this problem from a slightly different angle.

Because the price on the menu then appears lower than what the customer actually pays. It's completely misleading.

True. But it still amounts to them refusing to sell his audio. If you want to be pedantic, Amazon doesn't sell ebooks or audiobooks at all. They sell licenses to access the content. You can argue that Doctorow should be saying that he refuses to market his content in accordance with their policies. But I'm in favor of him framing it this way. It underscores who the real shitheels are here.

I have quite a few old Android phones sitting around. From Samsung S3s to a OnePlus 6. I'm interested in using one offline in my car for GPS, to avoid Google tracking. Anyone have good recommendations for a GPS app with directions that I can use offline. I'd like to be able to download the data for the entire U.S., that I would periodically update over wifi, so I'd like this process not to be too onerous. Anyone else doing this?
