Like joining a huge HOA, no?

Great way to avoid extreme weather... if you're part of the working class. Most of these pedways are private property acting as a public space, so any undesirables can be ejected.

We need to stop the privatization of our public spaces.

The degentrification going on will lower the prices sooner than later.

I use a TypeMatrix keyboard to get around the moved keyboard shortcut keys for copy paste.

I agree there should be a limit to speed and size. We've been okay putting restrictions on guns for decades. 2020 Firearm deaths: 45k, 2020 Vehicle traffic deaths: 40k.

Feds raided a safe-deposit box company and opened all the vaults because some of the owners were criminals. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-30/judge-ba...

99% of spam... like my email

But pizza places have been doing delivery for decades with employee cars. Why is it now "bad" when a tech company does it? The scale?

Another anecdote, but after visiting https://apiworld.co/ conference I receive a couple spam software sales emails a day. I unsubscribed to all of them for awhile but still get them years later.

Fuck the law when civil asset forfeiture and qualified immunity exist.

What about right to own property alone as well as in association with others.

Don't think GDPR applies to individuals if its not commercial

It's like you learned "whataboutism" and jumped at your first chance to use it. Still got it totally wrong. What part of this comment is deflecting? Seems to be just adding additional info.

Tesla wants you to buy a new one

duncan_idaho | 3 years ago | on: Tesla remotely converts battery pack, cutting 1/3 of range

I'd say this is a great reason to not a used one. Which Tesla doesn't care about at all and probably want to discourage.

Sounds like you're scared of competitors =)

duncan_idaho | 3 years ago | on: Woman ‘dehumanised’ by viral TikTok filmed without her consent

Some courts have ruled requiring permits and fees for commercial filming constitute 1st amendment violations because they are content-based restrictions on free speech.

A7IV has a new menu, and I have not needed any software for webcam use. Just plugged it in and it shows up in OBS.
