When the debate is lost slander becomes the tool of the loser

Much information about a person is publicly available, that doesn't mean it's not doxxing when you gather it and broadcast it.

Whether you are finding someone's email, or real name, or jet location, or home address, and then announce it, you are doxxing them.

So you wouldn't mind your car being tracked and publicly broadcast?

It is just an automobile after all, and vehicles aren't citizens...

Cue fallback argument.

EDIT: added clarification to distinguish between Tweeting coordinates and Onstar services.

wait so you're saying doxing is on the same level as dissenting the government?

one thing is broadcasting personal information about a citizen, one is protecting a citizens right to object to actions by their government.

collecting public information is still doxxing. most doxxing involves only public information as it happens across the internet.

edit: a downvote is not a rebuttal, sorry, try again.

You realize that being pictured at a public event next to someone is different than flying to pedo island multiple times right?

Or some people don't get worked up about a stalking jet account.

Yes being able to dissent the government about laptops or lab leaks or not rely o the russians to launch satellites or shuttle us to the space station is important as well.

Emotions and hyperboles when it fits here it seems. Reason comes second, if ever.

Everyone is still just pissy here because their liberal bubble is burst on Twitter.

I love Mastodon, now that it was accepted here the last month or so, why is everyone not on it yet?

So you really think looking at a GPS and driving a car yourself and putting cruise control on makes a car self-driving?

(hint: no, you are driving the car with assisted technology)

I'll remember to cite this in the next Tesla thread when we discuss Autopilot and self-driving.

A pre-planned route != self-driving (in my opinion).

I say that because it's not driving itself, it's driving a route you plotted or recorded.

You can't take that same tractor and have it work on your neighbors pasture as-is, it has to be programmed.

But again, this is getting into a semantics debate. Personally I'd prefer to differentiate using autonomous and automated, self-driving is too ambiguous.

Yes I did. Two hospitals being fined nearly two years ago != enforcing all hospitals posting full price lists.

You don't just "send a message" once, you fine hospitals not compliant, period. We do this for other regulations.

So at this rate maybe in 2040 most hospitals will post their prices, maybe. If everyone feels like following / enforcing the law.

Also, did you read the guidelines?

Please don't comment on whether someone read an article.

Personally it looks more like a no-code tool as it doesn't really focus on the code aspect.

An IDE should have the text in the forefront, enable all the things an IDE normally does, as well as have a preview mode where you can visually edit.

A Dreamweaver for React.

In their defense it looks like they expect you to focus on the text part in your normal editor.

But at that point they should make this a VSCode extension or something.

Having your source being modified from two programs is... silly.

You misunderstand. I'm saying if they didn't look at only the rural cells then there's not much point in using that to determine whether to award funding for providing rural broadband...

Just because there's a lot of people in highly populated cells that drag down the speed for people in those cells has nothing to do with the speeds of the lowly populated cells.

tldr; it makes no sense to average all cells together, as the goal is to improve the areas where existing infrastructure have failed in specific regions.

(and in those areas, where hughesnet, or viasat, or old DSL were the few options, Starlink does it's best)

Providing broadband to rural america, what this whole FCC broadband push has been about, concerns those cells where there aren't many people over a large spread of land, where towers and laying down lines doesn't make sense.

So if you take a cell that has LA in it, it will be much more congested than if you took a cell in Wyoming, or Nebraska.

Good for the FCC, but it's not very useful if the data is all from congested cities, I can't find where they list their sampling.

Starlink shines when it comes to rural/remote environments, not cities where towers and fiber can reach.

Side note, look at HughesNet and Viasat in their data, LOL!

edit: instead of downvoting if someone could find the sampling method?

Brave has a built in adblocker for the user that is on by default.

Brave also has a rewards program the user can opt-in to get scheduled text notifications on their system.

I could see your point somewhat if their rewards system was opt-out or tied to whether the adblocker was on, but it's not.

You've never opened a newspaper up to the classifieds? Those are ads.

You may not know of a tree cutting service until you look there.

You may not know where to get a car part until you look there.

Having ads riddled throughout the internet is one thing, but having a directory where ads are supposed to be is another.

Yes billboards are annoying, that doesn't make classifieds equal.

(oh and you could just pay $3/mo or not use the service if you have no use for classifieds)

I doubt that. They said replace ads, not add affiliates, those are different words entirely. The "ad replacing" is a common lie.

Just don't use Brave search, the separate product. Or you know, add the blocking rules yourself to the ad blocker, that works. Or you know, pay the $3 dollars to support the thing you use.

Most of the people complaining here don't actually care about this. This is all just a proxy war to go against Eich for his beliefs. It happens every Brave thread, pretty transparent and pathetic.

No they don't. They don't replace ads, that's a lie, stop repeating it here please.

The Brave rewards are system OS text notifications that you can OPT IN to.

In no way do they replace banner ads on websites.

We’ve gone way beyond pasture just “being there” to rely on for animal agriculture at the rate we do it. Look at BLM grazing rates which are there to pay for renewing the grassland but to rate limit how many animal graze or the grassland would be destroyed. Amazon in Brazil is also being cut back constantly to create new pasture land

A large part of America was already grassland. Many other parts the land aren't great, but cattle can still graze over it even with really sparse or dry vegetation.

If doing things inefficiently just to create jobs is a good idea, we might as well ban shovels and backhoes and make everyone dig with spoons

I'm talking about families raising cattle on their private land and continuing to do so, not about banning shovels, backhoes, or meat.

1. Grass costs nothing, it's already there and we can't eat it. You have to shred it so it doesn't grow too high anyway.

2. Again, pastures are already there, nothing else is on them.

3. Perfect, that's more jobs, but I know small family farms with 100 head of cattle with no extra ranch hands.

4. Not really, unless they are very large farms, but at very large scales making artificial meet will have challenges too, much more complex than shoveling shit.

Is Elon Right? 4 years ago

You're still just talking about me and not about a car to compare to a Tesla.

A lot of cars released in the last 2 years have similar or better stats. reply

Please provide an example of one of the cars you are talking about.

Is Elon Right? 4 years ago

Where is the slander, and where is the car to compare?

I see you went to my profile to find something to say to me, but nothing to expand on your opinion so we can objectively compare better cars as you suggested originally.

And yes that's why I put that quote in my profile, people will go after the person when they don't want to defend their statements, like you did.
