If you zoom in it does show some off axis stuff, and downtown is only a small portion of the entire city so it seems reasonable. Though it's definitely inconsistent, like if it uses all of Denver city limits but for NYC only shows Manhattan and ignores the other 4 boroughs

Oh yeah no for sure, we're pretty much past the point of no return at this point for shitty things happening in my of our lifetimes, even if humanity decides to suddenly start doing something about it

Very misleading title

The new analysis estimates a timescale for the collapse of between 2025 and 2095, with a central estimate of 2050

To be clear, this is still really bad, but it's typical media reporting where scientists say sometime in the next 70 years and the media changes it to "next year"

Says a lot about the different cultures too because here in the US a politician lying about having a party during lockdown would be praised by conservatives for sticking up for their "freedoms"

The outlandish videos they do are pretty entertaining, I don't see how they're going to succeed as a data driven review channel given Linus' temperament. Like compare them to something like rtings and it's really night and day

It's tough because the last few high profile cases to allow cameras in the courtroom have if anything shown that too much transparency can be a bad thing, especially when you make a spectacle out of a process that anyone who isn't a trial attorney isn't going to properly understand, but will certainly draw their own conclusions regardless

The driver is responsible for this accident, Tesla still should be liable imo for all the shady and outright misleading advertising around their so called "self driving". Compare Tesla's marketing to like GMs of Hyundai's, both of which essentially have parity with Teslas system in terms of actual features, and you'll see a big difference

OP said LA so while these numbers are a little high they're not out of the ordinary for a high CoL American city. I live near NYC and prices at fairly mainstream not particularly upscale restaurants and Manhattan are similar to this. As long as you're living within your means there's no reason to avoid doing things you enjoy

I've tried Firefox several times but always end up back on chromium due to compatibility; a lot of sites don't play well with anything but chrome anymore and this is very much something intentionally caused by Google, who have basically taken a page out of Microsoft's playbook but with a much more mature product that is going to be substantially harder to replace then IE was

Spez may still be a corporate sellout but at least in this instance he did the right thing, probably because he determined ratting out users who pirated wouldn't make him money

Lemmy.ml is hosted by the developers of Lemmy; their political views are kinda irrelevant here, I don't think there's a single political party that wants MORE of Metas influence in anything

They've already lost their identity. The parties over, spez has turned it into corporate garbage no better than Instagram

I had a job a few years ago where my account kept getting locked out (their IT security department was kinda paranoid and basically everything could get you locked out). I used this to crest a shortcut on my phone to call their automated help desk line and enter in my employee id / dob/ whatever else they needed to unlock my account, at one point it was happening several times a day. Left that job shortly after thankfully

It's been going on for nearly a year now, but the layoffs tend to happen in waves because the stock market and investors in general tend to be very reactionary. Also a lot of companies released their quarterly earnings recently

In theory, devs need to know what setting you chose so that, if you legitimately need presicse location, you can tell the user to enable it. In practice I'm sure plenty of apps that claim they need precise location don't really need it, but it's not a restricted permission either so Google doesn't do any validation during their review process

its gotta be. They've already had their own reddit replacement for years, no reason to come here other than to start a flame ware

The gameplay is great, you're just a tiny little alien rolling around a ball that picks up objects it rolls over; as your ball grows you go from picking things up like thumbtacks and other small objects all the way to picking up entire cars and buildings. Also you can pick up live animals and humans and watch them panic, its great. Overall its just good fun, there's no real plot or anything

The Katamari games are great if you've never played them

I don't know what prompted McDonald's marketing to bring back grimace but they're kinda nailing it; I want a grimace milkshake
