Nebula might be the answer for you. A low annual fee means every video you watch gives a portion of that fee to the artist.

These rules are convoluted and near impossible to apply. Specific braking speeds for some objects compared to others? That requires reliable computer vision, which hasn’t been demonstrated anywhere yet.

And those speeds? 92mph is 148kph! Why the fuck are cars even permitted to be capable of that when no road in the country allows it? And why would you want to introduce unpredictable braking scenarios at such speeds?

What is feasible is a speed limiter based on the posted limit, but that’d be too practical.

Thanks for posting this! I have the same router.

Relevant.

I love this. I can just imagine them paying poor people to drive and protest in their place too.

Awesome. Perhaps now there will be some renewed focus on screen reader support?

Ah yeah, I remember a moment like that in DS9, where Sisko is lamenting the crew’s interest in a holosuite program set in the 50s because of how “our people” were treated back then. It always felt out of place for me, though DS9 is still my favourite Star Trek.

Can you give some examples of this? Admittedly I didn’t much care for Discovery and didn’t pay a lot of attention through it as a result, but I’m not picking up what you’re laying down ;-)

Can we really call it a “spill” if they dump it deliberately?

I’m not saying that she’s blameless, rather that a design of straight roads and traffic lights ensured that this was going to happen. If it wasn’t an old lady speeding, it would have been a dumb teen on their phone, or a middle-aged man “trying to catch the yellow”. If the road allows for dangerous driving, kids are going to die on it.

Congratulations, you’ve put an old woman behind bars. Who wants to bet that they haven’t fixed the street design in the last 4 years to actually prevent this from happening again? Are we to assume that prison is a deterrent here?

I mean, sure, she killed two kids, she should go to jail, but any street design that would permit the sort of driving that makes killing those kids accidentally is more at fault than the unlucky idiot behind the wheel.

It’s a different kind of world. You need a different kind of software.

Put Linux on it. 😃

That’s the plan, though I doubt I’ll be able to do a proper install remotely. I may have to wait 'til I visit again, or maybe he can mail it to me.

I also am a fan of splashtop. Works well for me on windows and mac.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll add it to the pile. I had no idea there were so many different ways to do something like this. Do you know if SplashTop is very “boomer-friendly” or if it works on rather old machines?

Those all sound promising. Chrome Remote Desktop sounds like the easiest for him since he’s most comfortable with Google things. Thanks!

I hadn’t heard about RustDesk, hence my question. I’ll check it out.

Yeah I share your issue with their stance on Nuclear as well (though having worked in the industry for a few years now, I’m coming to realise it’s a moot point). I’ll push back a bit on your other points though. I’ve always found their proposals to be well thought out and fully costed.

The reason I’ve long supported them (even when the leadership was chaotic) was that they were the only party with a platform that shared my priority: a world not on fire. the Conservatives muzzled climate scientists, the Liberals literally bought a pipeline and the NDP keeps cozying up to oil in Alberta and loggers in BC.

Sure we’ve got crystal-clutching anti-nuclear loonies in the Greens, but at least I can trust they actually believe the IPCC enough to want to do something about it.

What’s wrong with the Greens?

A lot of places don’t have buses and the roads aren’t safe for kids to cycle anymore. The assumption is that if you’re a parent, you just have to “make time” some-crazy-how.

We don’t use X, and we don’t use Facebook, and I’m not even close to feeling sorry."

Love it. Subscribed!
