Oh I knew that’s why they were saying it, I just wanted to see what their asinine justification for the stance would have been had they responded.

Can I ask your reason for wanting this? (Preferably not just “their parents aren’t citizens, why should they be?”)

Somehow Ive missed hearing about either of these

Its a quote from Rogue One if I’m not mistaken

I know, it’s absolutely ridiculous. I’m sorry I even suggested it in the first place. /s

Hey @marathon@lemmy.ca I had a whole big thing typed up, but I want to engage with you in good faith… Would you be willing to tell me what, in your eyes is so bad about some painted nails, dyed hair/men’s long hair, “unprofessional” tattoos, and the other things that were originally introduced?

Unless I’ve seriously lost what “an enterprise thing” is nowadays, I wouldnt call SPF and DKIM (and DMARC for that matter) “mostly an enterprise thing” considering:

• They are security measures implemented by default with all freemail providers

• Almost all mail systems will block or flag any mail which isnt at least SPF authenticated

• Gmail and yahoo now aggressively require DKIM and DMARC to be configured in order for mail to be delivered if delivered in bulk (this is in addition to their past SPF requirements)

• We (my company) consider it a mandatory now in 2024 to guarantee mail delivery, even for our smallest clients.

I think its probably possible to use a meme format without intending it to compare yourself to the subject of the meme

Weird way to announce that you’re a woman but ok

Letter paper (8.5" x 11" | 215.9mm x 279.4mm) is kinda sorta pretty close to A4 (8.27" x 11.69" | 210mm x 297mm) so without having the two next to each other, it can seem like A4 is just a funny piece of letter, and vice versa. But to answer the actual question, USA and Canada (and apparently the phillipines???) use the “North American Standard” which is a terrifying mess in comparison to the beauty that is the ISO standard.

Edit: typos

Idk, I seem to recall that when I was (more of) a young’un, I was told that staring was rude across the board.

It’s a (probably ai gen) DND druid meme???

Alright, let me walk back and apologize for my performative argumentation and be extremely clear about my opinion in the shortest, most sincere way I can do this.

• Fewer human drivers is good

• Fewer cars on the road at all is better

• Self driving does significantly increase the safety of roads, however increasing transit and reducing cars on the road increases safety for everyone by a larger margin

• While selfdriving is good to reduce the number of human caused accidents, telsa’s implementation is has no secondary sensors, and no map correlation for it’s vision results

• Even with self driving, car centric infrastructure steals valuable space that could be used for housing, transit or pedestrians

• Ultimately, I think our disconnect is that my argumentation made it seem like I dont support both (I was really unclear, I apologize) self driving is really awesome for road safety, but on it’s own, it still means there’s generally the same amount of cars on the road. Implementation of (reliable) self driving in combination with other regulatory changes such as larger public transit investment, stricter testing regulations, stronger punishments for breaking driving laws, and more regulation on where cars are allowed will do more than self driving on its own could ever do.

Sorry perhaps I was unclear. (Or perhaps you willfully misinterpreted me)

You want Tesla to create transit infrastructure?

I don’t think Tesla should be making anything as long as the current figurehead is in charge. Transit should always be public infrastructure… Not sure how you would have thought I was advocating for privatized public transit.

You honestly think there’s a person that exists that has done this?

I also never intended to suggest that self driving is pushing individuals from adopting transit… Moreso that the proverbial carrot of “fewer road accidents thanks to self driving” is likely to prevent regulators from taking the note effective steps of:

• reducing the number of drivers on the road with stricter testing and enforcement of road laws
• providing an alternative for those who can no longer drive via larger investment in public transit infrastructure

I understand it might not feel that way, but it’s the actual truth, we have massive amounts of data on this, and your feelings don’t outweigh that.

Yep. And fewer cars overall makes pedestrians safer as well. You dont want human drivers, I dont want cars

Sorry, have to disagree. Tesla’s special blend of vision-only driving and software built seemingly with generative ai leads to unsafe situations.

On top of that, self driving is a solution that keeps cars on the roads… Yucky. Make the driving tests stricter to weed out idiots and build much more robust transit infrastructure for everyone else.

Musk and Trump fan calling me a chud. Thats rich.

Yeah, people tend to dislike deranged narcissistic transphobes that parrot racist dogwhistles all day while also driving multiple companies into the ground and endangering people’s lives with his vehicles
