Saw an article on trust and autonomous devices that stated, 'hence, why we're supposed to keep our hands on the wheel of self-driving cars and follow traffic laws'. Considering how oversteering probably makes most accidents worse, this sounds like a bad premise. Maybe just having a steering wheel as placebo is the better tactic. On 'follow traffic laws', shouldn't a self driving car already do that?

"We, as a society, need to stop criminalizing poverty, addiction, and mental health issues - we need to stop sending people into institutions that we know exacerbate these and other issues. We can come up with other systems that are not born out of racist ideologies and capitalistic strategies to profit off of mostly black and brown bodies in cages. That is part of the effort of The Compost #Cooperative"

Windows sucks! Why is it still being used? Been asking that since 1992.

Nearly 70% of smart TVs and 46% of game consoles were found to contain hardcoded DNS settings - allowing them to simply ignore your local network’s DNS server entirely.
On average, Smart TVs generate an average of 60 megabytes of outgoing Internet traffic per day, all the while bypassing tools like PiHole - and DNS filters.
