Precisely; for context, it was recently discussed in Dutch media how some of these e-bikes reach 60 km/h. Together with a culture of people refusing to wear bicycle helmets, there’s certainly some more nuance and middle ground.
There needs to be some kind of solution, but doing nothing is not really an option.
How is this the warehouse’s fault?! They have a sign!! This is demonstrably 100% Google’s fault for not knowing the numbering system inside a private industrial park and how it maps to exact GPS coordinates. This should work infallibly every time and require absolutely no correction from the business owner or user feedback.
(/s in case that wasn’t abundantly obvious)
Am I taking crazy pills? Apple Maps is first of all (from my experience) orders of magnitude less reliable, and second of all has worthless recommendations and business ratings.
For what it’s worth, I never argued that shoplifting isn’t stealing. I only pointed out the absurdity of the argument that piracy is justified.
Feel free to educate me on the basic concepts I’m failing to understand.
The mental gymnastics people use to excuse themselves of their entitlement continues to amaze me.
Hot take:
Shoplifting is virtually always justified. By shoplifting you are simply opting out of transferring wealth from consumer to big business which could be seen as a redistribution of wealth (however small) from rich to poor.
Courageous to make such a comment on Lemmy, where the community will bend over backwards to justify piracy.
Completely agreed; your remarks resonate with me. I have found that the “hive-mind mentality” is prevalent on Lemmy, in particular in this community and to the extent that discourse is actively shut down with inane comments that just mope and complain on top with in-depth or factual corrections downvoted.
I personally find this exceedingly frustrating. On Reddit, most context and constructive debate was found in top comments. However, here on Lemmy, it’s more at a high school TikTok level, with top comments typically all very similar; mostly “some company is evil incarnate” or “I proudly pirate copyrighted material and here are the ways I’ve justified this for myself.”
None of this contributes to an informative comment section and it grinds my gears. I just wish this community would be better.
You’re quoting yourself. I never said any such thing and you’ve completely misrepresented my position.
I’ve not tried it with a stylus, but Google Keep is my preferred way of keeping notes and supports handwriting.
What an absolutely absurd position you’ve chosen to take on this. I can only hope for the sake of compassion that this is not what you actually believe.
The argument I’ve made is that I don’t wish to personally suffer psychological damage because of somebody’s death. We don’t allow others to inflict harm in other ways, and this is in my opinion no different. It has nothing to do with tyranny.
…until you’re personally involved in a fatal accident—even if by no fault of your own—where the other party would have survived. Post traumatic stress is no joke. I don’t think we should aspire to have a society with more suffering.
I should, you’re right.
This grinds my gears. Apple does the same: my work MBP nags me daily to enable iCloud backups but I have no way of doing it because Apple login is disabled by my administrator. Consequently, I cannot reach the settings page to tell Mac to fuck off.
While you’re at it, might as well swivel his truck’s rear end behind the column so he can’t get out.
Which developing countries specifically does this recommendation apply to?
I read halfway through this comment fully under the impression it was about Spotify and was profoundly confused until I scrolled up and realized my mistake.
Maybe Wise? I suppose it depends on your needs as not a whole lot of people use Wise.
