Do they not put beacons on their seats either? How did they find the pilot? I'd imagine if it were an issue, it could be deactivated in wartime or over enemy lines.

thats why the major automakers workers are striking, because its so wonderful under biden.

Biden has very little to do with that. Those are the executives and shareholders of those automakers. Dems have tried to increase benefits for employees. It's mostly a no-go at the federal level.

Incapable is not the same as refuses to.

Are you posting on this without even being remotely aware of what the article says?

But the data collection sounds like it's counter to its supposed goals. Multiple campaigns have been discussed that just make it believe they don't actually care about privacy considering all the ways they keep trying to do stuff is counter to that. Why stay? Tor Browser is available. Hell, Firefox itself is already able to take you pretty far and extensions can do the rest.

Why make the sacrifice of your personal data? Like, how many attempts at collecting personal data do you need to have occur before you realize it's always been their goal?

These links appear to be about something possibly related but slightly different. These involve treating traumatic memories that already rooted themselves. The post above is about preventing the memories from being rooted in the first place. Sure, they could be related concepts and mechanisms, but they are different.

"Ok, emo teenage child, you get to design one room in the hou..."

"The bathroom."

"Are you sure?"

"The real question is... are you sure?"

It looks like support is either up to the developer or simply optimization is up to the developer. They mention that extension devs should start optimizing their desktop extensions for mobile but doesn't say whether that's required or simply suggested as a non-optimized extension may not work properly.

But theoretically, any extension at the very least could be made to work on mobile. It appears to be an open system as opposed to now where it's only approved ones.

Trains are not solutions to many kinds of necessary travel, either, at least not in the current landscape of travel options available to very many people in the United States.

That's kind of the point though. Trying to get folks in the US to support better travel infrastructure. Doesn't even always have to be trains.

Pointing out that "cars are 17 times more likely to kill you than trains!" does not serve the purpose of making a better world through transportation reform.

Why not? Everything you said honestly made it sound like everything else is a much safer alternative than personal vehicles. Why is that not an argument for better infrastructure and transportation reform? I've known people who have died in car accidents. I do not know anyone that's even been in a train accident let alone killed in one. Your numbers are not that supportive of cars being generally safe. Those are not great odds when considering the loss is catastrophic. It's probably one of the biggest risks folks willingly take and will actively avoid lesser risks.

Also not saying it's wrong, but why are we dividing by 50? It's per mile basis. If it's 20000 miles per year, it's already by year, no?

It would probably make more sense to suggest that more people permanently move off of lemmy.world. it's growing too quickly. People don't need accounts on lemmy.world to browse lemmy.world. I'm not on it and i browse it just fine. It's heavy usage that brings it down. So setting up slts doesn't fix the problem. It's changing the curling wallpaper when the problem is the house is on fire. Don't treat the symptom. It's the fediverse. Spread out.

Boimler is ambitious but kind of clumsy and awkward and stickler for rules (despite the boimler rule). Mariner is basically Ferris Bueller with the mouth of a sailor until her friends/family are in danger and then she's MacGuyver/007. (I also just realized I'm dating myself a lot of those references and I hope they still work.) The show is definitely written by fans of star trek that also are comfortable enough to poke fun at the source material.

Edit: that's probably enough to enjoy it, but I haven't seen it yet so don't know if they reference any lower decks story arcs heavily.

I feel like if you elaborate on what privacy violations Ubuntu committed (or maybe whatever privacy it failed to simply provide), then folks can provide better recommendations. Otherwise you're going to get random distro suggestions. Privacy is a very broad topic so just claiming "privacy oriented" can get you a bunch of different ideas. Like, do you want something that has no cloud services available to it? Like, what do you want? There's no universal standard for what "privacy" immediately entails.
