Re: Safer roads.

For those inside the automated cars maybe. What about us stupid meat sacks who still walk to get places?

Re: Bought a motorbike and got it down to 30 minutes.

Try homeworking, get it down to 0.

Re: Cruise Control creates lazy and bad driving habits indeed.

Fuck off. Cruise Control means I stop continuously monitoring the vehicle's speed and concentrate on getting where I'm going safely.

It also highlights all you dicks who can't stand to be behind a smaller car so overtake, and then go slower than me.

I'm on cruise bud, my speed hasn't changed, you're just a dickhead.

Wouldn't it be terrible if all officers like this were held accountable for their actions.

Re: OK, but your ad's still on the same site as that content.

It's the Nazi Bar problem. Doesn't matter whether your pub is the Nazi bar or not, what matters is that people think it's the Nazi bar. Twitter is the Nazi bar and Space Karen obviously wants it that way.

Not many major brands want to advertise in the Nazi bar, even in the kids play area.

Re: The Good Old Days of Opera

MS tried that and Vivaldi would've had the same problem.

As soon as it got popular Google would change the code of youTube to work well for Chrome and badly for Vivaldi. Vivaldi panic, find the problem area, rush a fix out. Google revert the change and implement something else that again works fine on Chrome but causes issues for Vivaldi. Rinse and repeat until Vivaldi give up and start using the Chrome rendering engine.

You all understand how evil MS were bundling IE with Windows. You seem to have no idea that Google owning the web and the browser is far worse monopoly abuse.

Re: Is there a Hunter Biden story people need distracting from

No, there really isn't, all that shit stirring didn't really convince anyone new.

But nice to see the paranoia extends to the republicans running this "investigation".

You know that they're the ones spreading the Hunter Biden story, yeah?

Re: Don't forget the “literal dick-measuring contest”

C'mon, there's always plenty of capitalist wingnuts on here ready to explain how Musk is a genius, can someone explain how a dick measuring contest is smart business?

Re: They are statistically derived word sequences

Can you explain how "statistically derived word sequences" are better than "randomly generated word sequences"?

Re: As long as it doesn't just mean "opinions that are currently deemed unacceptable".

Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views

Me: Holy shit! You were censored for wanting lower taxes?

Con: LOL no...no not those views

Me: So....deregulation?

Con: Haha no not those views either

Me: Which views, exactly?

Con: Oh, you know the ones

Re: I find value in generated summaries before digging into specific URLs

That's your call. To me those summaries are just word salad and I'd rather they weren't there pretending to summarise the article.
