Yeah, that was the big change uber brought. Traditional cabs were leased, and a lot of people do lease they’re cars for uber (though by the year instead of the day) but that’s nothing to do with uber and there’s no fleet.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s crazy for proper service animals, they’re very well trained.

Mastodon reversed this decision in February, saying a lack of quote posts might discourage people from joining the fediverse

No shit. So late to the party :(

Glad they’re finally getting to it. I guess I shouldn’t be too harsh, apparently progress is slow on it, by still.

Fucking why?? What’s the point?? You’ve already got a database, what does making it immutable and decentralized and inefficient help?? It’s still under a central authority, so it’s not even proper decentralised.

More famous last words have never been spoken. How many times throughout history have people said this? I’d imagine leading up to every war…

Thank you for clarifying.

But he did…bar the search giant from making exclusive deals to distribute its search or AI assistant products in ways that might cut off distribution for rivals.

Oh boy there goes Firefox

Yeah, that’s a really rough edge, but also…if it doesn’t apply to you… 🤔

Does it…work yet? Last I heard phone calls were dodgy…

If you weren’t already boycotting them because of their treatment of migrants idk what to tell you.

In June, 12 activists on board the sailboat Madleen were intercepted by Israeli forces 185km west of Gaza. Its passengers, who included Thunberg, were detained and eventually expelled.

Ah, I had only heard about the detention, that makes more sense.

Only the beginning is about gnome. Edit: see this post: https://lemmy.world/post/35181035

Always a good sign.

Is there any reason you chose vosk over whisper.c++?

Just read an article recently that while battery cell cost has fallen and overall capacity have risen, price of EVs continues to rise.

Bare minimum that should’ve been done almost 2 years ago, or really years before that honestly.

I feel like in Linux any distinction between “OS” and “something else” would be arbitrary, except, perhaps the example of the AUR vs regular packages in arch, or maybe the universe repo in Ubuntu. Why would you want a whole different system for managing those packages?

Proton is too fucking expensive.
