It’s unreasonable to stop further software development just because there’s a ‘mature’ solution around. Besides, just because a solution is ‘mature’ doesn’t make it good.
And considering that it seems like you can still use the original, about 30 year old format, doesn’t look like there’s any harm for the folks not needing or able to use the new stuff.
I said 3 words. Not a single one was about driving. I don’t care about driving, and I couldn’t care less how people drive in bum fuck amerikkka or wherever else. Those 3 words were about you and all you did was prove me right. Cheerio, you sad bastard.

The ‘cookie’ law is (mainly) the ePrivacy Directive, that requires websites to get a user’s informed, specific, and affirmative consent before storing or accessing non-essential information on their device.
To comply a website must inform users about their cookie usage (who is using it, why, and how long they are stored, I think) and allow users to easily withdraw their consent at any time (though there’s no requirement to easily decline).
Actualy looking at the site, it already might be? I’m not sure, I don’t remember the specifics of the law. But there is a banner pop up and you do inform cookies are used and why, and there’s an easy way to withdraw consent.
In the case of the USA, there’s more than just the lack of gun restrictions at play. If you were to compare knife deaths per capita in the UK (we all know how much of a problem stabbings are in the UK) and USA, the US is leading by a significant margin (and that’s on top of gun deaths ofc).
For a gun ban to reduce death in the USA you’d first need to addres atleast some of the other systemic problems the country has been neglecting and/or intentionaly expolting.
You’re the one who brought age into this convo?
Your account is 19 months old, and you have 7,5k comments??? That’s about 400 comments per month, and comes out to 12-13 per day? How do you have the patience and time for that? I can’t be bothered replaying to more than one comment/post per week.
Is your dumb TV new or old? I’ve been trying to find something to replace my old plasma (it started to make cracking noises, that doesn’t seem like a good sign) for a while now, but it looks like every new TV is ‘smart’.
Edit: I know I can buy a smart one, don’t connect it to the internet and use it like a dumb one. I’m not dumb, the TV I want to buy should be. It’s about principles.
that’s ok, everybody has a right to an opinion, even if it’s dog shit.
Not just you, corpo fastfood like mcdonalds, kfc and whatever have been more expensive (and worse quality) than local non-chain street/fastfood for years.
This year a mcdonalds opened in my small-ish town, and I can’t fathom why anybody would buy there. There’s a better restaurant for every single item on the menu, with better quality for cheaper/same price. The only thing it has going for it is the drive thru.
Edit: This is in Poland
this is just the USA, not the whole west
if you are a terrible person just say that, no need to make a list lmao
This is starwarsmemes, most people here are nerds lmao
Doesn’t GPS work on Linux phones? As for map apps, OpenStreetMaps based apps are free and more acurate than google (atleast in my region), the only thing that might be lacking is realtime traffic information.
Well there’s a lot of useful things that 100 pounds can get you. Depending on what you consider incredibly useful, and what you do everyday. A quick list of the top of my head:
Not in the first comment, and I replayed to the second one only because they were acting like a stereotypical obnoxious redditor. As for LMM use, sure it could replace them, just give it a little more time and more money and a bit more money and some more money and also enough data server centres to suck dry entire lakes
“assumptions”? Maybe consider how “I’m so sick of coding” implies you’re doing coding? I’m so sick of driving, oh no somebody ‘assumed’ I’m a driver instead of a mechanic. Believe it or not, most people ‘assume’ something when you use sentences that imply it. CrAZy, riGhT? 😲
Feels like a LLM to me. There’s interjections in sentences, like this one, and the dash ofc. I’ve found that most models also rarely use first person pronouns (is ‘we’ first person in english?) and there’s none here (unless that’s the style those articles are writen in, idk I don’t read things like this)
Finally I see there’s progress in LLMs, they can now output something that wasn’t entirely hallucinated, maybe there’s a chance that a powerdrain tinskin clankkka will be actually useful before it bluescreens. I hope not, the roboloving cogsuckers that make up the owner class might get their hopes (of paying workers nothing, like in the good ol’days) up and will keep the “AI” bubble going just that bit longer.
Lying about it just makes you a coward.
And it’s not like it’s gonna change anything, people will still notice?
The problem with USB-A is that well, it has to have no problems.
Ramblings
What I mean by that is, for USB to be a ‘universal’ serial bus it has to keep legacy support while still allowing the standard as a whole to keep up with new tech, and there’s just no sane way to do that on one plug type.
As for why type C is the way it is:
The USB Implementers Forum decided that adding more pins to the original format (type A) was a dead end (no way to keep backwards compatibility after a point), and the only way foward was to make type A a ‘legacy’ port while a new connector would take over as the main/modern one.
The forum decided that to make that happen type C has to be more decoupled from type A then previous connectors.
Since the most profitable market for electronics is the mobile one, that’s what they aim for with type C. (And because all the previous mobile USB types sucked, especially the micro).
Also probably atleast some if not most of the forum members wanted planned obsolescence, it’s goverened by tech companies after all.
Still, type C and the 4.0 standard in general is pretty good at doing what it was meant to do.
