I even made an icon for it (with a voting pencil instead). Is there anyone who would be interested in making this thing a reality? As stated in the body of the post, I'm not politically involved enough to be a mod for the community.

It seems the mods have decided otherwise, whereas a dedicated community can set its own rules. Like I said in the body, I'm not interested in constantly being bombarded with political posts; ideally only when I explicitly choose to visit such communities.

I quite often have political thoughts in the shower, and also wish to express them; simply as being shower thoughts. However, rule number 3 prohibits this, or at least requiring me to dance around the subject; which feels somewhat limiting.

Despite this rule, there's still a significant portion of politically charged posts, which may annoy others, not interested in political topics. I personally wouldn't join the community, but rather visit it periodically; for an arguably healthier politics-life balance.

Therefore I'm not interested in starting a community myself; which is where some of you might be able to help out. I think this has the potential to greatly improve compliance to rule number 3, while still being able to express such thoughts, in a similar forgiving context.

Yeah, if you really start breaking down sentences, to their individual words and their respective concepts, everything falls apart. But it's important to keep context in mind: which generally limits room for interpretation enough, for most to roughly interpret them similarly (unless your autistic brain makes you go on a detour...). If you start formulating your wording carefully enough, you can start writing legal documents; and ironically make sure, 99% of the population, can no longer follow a word you're saying.

If you want citizens to keep working their ass off, you minimize worker capital through taxes, fines, profit, or any other artificial expenses; so they're stuck in a perpetual struggle for stability. And as a byproduct, the parasitic upper class can live royally, of the working class' hard work.

So you mean to say: we personalize interpretation of someone else's writing, therefore we're rather responding to our own thoughts, than in response to the other's writing? If so, I would say this is true for the majority of people; especially when discussing anything political for example, where a strong bias is present.

If you mean to say: there's too much politically charged posts on here, despite rule number 3 being 'No politics'; I wholly agree.

[-] PierceTheBubble@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah, it seems I've pulled the trigger a bit soon. I was just about to head to bed when I noticed, which is arguably not the best moment to be posting haha...

[-] PierceTheBubble@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

I noticed it just before heading to bed, so I'll take the sound bit of advise, and sleep over it the next time haha.

That's correct, I've also added some ALPRs to OSM; which is why I decided to check it once more. There's other websites, which also render ALPRs (alongside other surveillance POIs) on a map. However, DeFlock's is the most clear for ALPRs in specific, at least for what I've seen, and also providing information on the subject. I simply noticed it being offline, and figured it might be relevant to the community.

It seems the DeFlock website is offline (as of posting this). I know Flock sent a cease-and-desist letter in the past, so did it get its way; or is it simply a hosting issue? Anyone having more information regarding this?

Update: the website appears to be online once more, and the downtime likely hosting-related.

Yeah, it seems I made a quite ignorant comment; as taking these factors into account, would make it an entirely different showdown. Perhaps putting both in a simulator, sim drivers might outperform the drivers; but would challenge just a select set of abilities.

[-] PierceTheBubble@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago

I would love to see F1 drivers being crushed by sim drivers

All you'd have to do is hijack the home robot, to simply hand you over the subscription-based slop

Except for your mom doing the laundry, maybe.
