That’s me for about a week with any new device. Then I slowly get more and more lax, until eventually I’m the one on the right.

Yeah I agree. I’d love to get rid of maps, but location history is just way too valuable to give up, and I couldn’t find anybody else who does it.

I also really like navigation that’s responsive to current traffic levels. Obviously even if someone else provided that, them having fewer users would mean it’s not going to be very effective, but I’d be willing to switch to someone else who at least was attempting to do that, even if their userbase wasn’t there yet.

Right now though…nobody that I could find even tries to do either of those crucial features.

German law literally restricts bike light brightness to a point of being impractical in the dark. It bans blinking lights despite research showing blinking lights increase visibility of cyclists. It requires cut-offs that make it so you literally can’t see what’s ahead of you until it’s too late to react to it, if you’re riding at speed.

If you’re only ever riding at a slow 20 km/h on relatively well-lit city streets, it might be fine. But that’s just not reality.

You’re required to have a rear light, but it must be mounted between 25 and 60 cm above the ground…so you can forget about a light mounted on your helmet or backpack…or even at the most natural place for a light…at the top of your seatpost. It’s fucking nonsensical. And to learn that despite all this bullshit making cyclists less safe, car lights are unrestricted? Oh boy, am I incensed right now.

Wait, Germany bans good-quality bike lights, but allows unregulated lights on fucking cars‽‽

I’m not 100% sure about DeArrow, but ReVanced definitely still works, and it does support Ajay’s Sponsorblock, so I suspect DeArrow would also be supported.

The picture shows a Taylor Series, evaluated at the point 0. When a Taylor Series is evaluated at 0, we call this a Maclaurin Series. Maclaurin sounds kinda like McLaren.

idk what McLaren is.

You won’t get disagreement from me. Being non-trinitarian is a pretty huge departure from regular Christianity on its own, without all the rest of their weird mythology.

But neither Mormons themselves nor, more importantly in this case, the general discourse, agree.

There’s a good argument to be made that they shouldn’t be, but they’re usually lumped under the broader Christian umbrella

Just a friendly reminder that text transcriptions of images help everybody. They help make the fediverse accessible to visually impaired users, obviously. But they can also help users on small screens where reading small text in an image may be difficult.

Fwiw Stanford was basically a scam. The story as it’s usually told is a lie, and its results are in serious contention, even beyond the usual replication issues psychology studies have.

Milgram is a good study, and even seems to have survived multiple replication attenpts, but its results are often overstated in their broader applicability. Notably: there are issues around the idea that it is “authority” that causes people to comply, as is usually claimed, instead of a belief in “expertise” or trust in the system (e.g. that a university-authorised study is obviously not going to kill people). Still, the conclusions are good enough for the purposes of your comment here.

Ah, but postage stamps are completely fungible.

I was thinking of the HTTP verb, you’re right.

You forgot the third group, !fuckcars@lemmy.world

Some even have sinks in each stall so you can go from wiping your ass straight to washing your hands

See, I emphatically do not want that.

If I could rely on everyone else washing their hands properly it would be great. But I don’t want to have to touch the stall door that has Aleppo been touched by people who haven’t washed their hands after I’ve washed mine. I want the hand washing to be the very last thing I do before exiting, preferably via a push door that I can push with my foot or in a spot that fewer other people would push it.

Why would someone on a help desk be expected to know what POST is? A software engineer, sure, but helpdesk? If it’s needed knowledge…that’s what training is for. Businesses’ expectation that people will come into the job already knowing exactly how you do things and never require on-the-job training is absurd.

IMO a “simple browser” of this sort should display literally only the content in the HTML file itself. It shouldn’t even view CSS stored in a separate local CSS file, let alone reach out to the web to download more content.

Children dying of cancer is not “good”, and frankly the fact that you seem to think it is is fucking disgusting.

It’s not about “want” at all. It’s about figuring out what’s true. And what’s true is that the Abrahamic god, as understood by modern Jews, Christians, and Muslims, is very clearly impossible, unless you choose to define “good” as including children dying of cancer.

First, you’ll note that I started this conversation by conceding free will and concentrating my discussion of evil on evils that are not performed by humans, but by the planet itself, or by fundamental biology.

But as for “the concept of life as a test”…why is something supposedly omniscient performing a test? It should already know the result of said test, thus making the test itself irrelevant. That’s what omniscience is.

If there is no evil how can there be good?

Easy. You take the world as it is right now…and then remove the evil things. Evil is a metaphysical concept. We often use analogies of light and dark, but it doesn’t literally work that way.
