That is not accurate. There are plenty of apartment buildings far away from commercial areas. They can be surrounded by rural areas or suburban areas (SFH zoning).

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

Why would there be? Electric cars are luxury items bought by people who own homes.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

So you don’t ever want to learn about new things? And even if you did, you wouldn’t want those new things be efficiently suggested to you and instead be bundled with a bunch of other boring crap?

Also, what you’re asking for is what the tool seems to do. You would put the slider all the way to one side to avoid having new stuff suggested. Existing social media platforms often just shove stuff at you endlessly.

I need to wake up early (lemmy.world)

All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look...

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

This is a stupid answer, but you could buy a cheap android phone. The carrier-locked phones are very inexpensive.

scenario that the new working paper, yet to be peer-reviewed, states will come with an enormous economic cost. A 3C temperature increase will cause “precipitous declines in output, capital and consumption that exceed 50% by 2100” the paper states.

Is this journalism?

“Okay Todd, looks like Steve is working on auth, so you’ll be on the blacklist today-… ahah I mean, working on the blacklist today ahem…”

Frontend for AOL that looks like regular desktop AOL but without all the ads and popups. If only because it’s something I doubt anyone would make before the EOL of Windows 10.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

What if the suggestions have warnings like “experimental” or “unstable”?

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

Well, forgiving a bunch of debt without fixing the problem isn’t going to stop the leak. You can fully expect that bailing out debtors will result in lenders offering riskier loans they expect to be forgiven. With schools turning into a debt-selling industry, buying that debt from private lenders using public money would be robbing not only the tax payer, but also the next generation of the opportunity for an education. You can’t buy your way out of problem that isn’t caused by cost (hint: greed).

All that to say, there should be debt caps on education before any kind of broad forgiveness. Or just federally subsidize up to a certain amount and then no one will go to pricier schools except those who can afford to without hardship.

How do people who have gained hearing feel about it? It seems like hearing would be important for a number of things besides communication, but maybe modern life doesn’t require much?

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

That’s interesting. So if your brain isn’t developed to cope with hearing, it’s overwhelming similar to someone with autism?

Google Fit dev APIs shutdown set for June 2025 (9to5google.com)

Google’s migration guide for developers lists what they’re supposed to switch to on Android phones and Wear OS. However, there is no replacement for the Goals API that lets Google Fit users set “how many steps and heart points they want to aim for each day.”

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

Well the current deprecation is the Android APIs. You can still use the web APIs.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

There are two kinds of Google APIs when it comes to Android: those already deprecated (stable), and those yet to be deprecated (early alpha)

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

AI bad now?

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

If someone posts an angry rant about your company and you email them to say “you’re wrong and I’m sorry you feel that way” that makes you an “unhinged … freak?” This is not the president sending the secret service to your college dorm room lol.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

How many CEOs do you know who don’t act like they’re made of solid gold?

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

This type of thing has made reddit unusable lately and I hope it doesn’t show up here lemmy has a better defense against “subtle spam.”

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

I’ve even seen people saying that any brand mention will be compensated, even slightly negative. I think some sort of web of trust is the only answer.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

Look, if it was a random kid on tiktok that’s one thing, but slinging (potentially) slanderous information around (and publishing it, technically) is a serious matter with real-world consequences. If someone made a blog post about how you torture animals and have a horrible taste in music, you’d probably want to do something about it.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

Not to be that person, but in the USA, companies are people.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

It’s weird, we tried having a small group of people control the flow of capital and it was unpopular each time. Let’s try it again but call it something different or say it was something else when we tried it before.

Are there any windows programs you’ve had to set up through wine?

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

I’m not glad that I keep seeing it. They were using managed printing i.e. pay-per-page. HP may make garbage and overcharge for ink, but I’m sick of people tapping the up arrow on low effort posts like this.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

I just don’t see the point in spreading misinformation. I have had almost entirely bad experiences with HP, but that doesn’t mean I go around spreading lies.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

No, i just don’t want to see misinformation period. The reason the printer wasn’t working is because they were on a managed printing plan, not because HP was trying to pull one over on them.

Are there any Windows-exclusive programs you use?

I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise...

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

Microsoft Word for my resume. I’m not sure what I can do to change that, I don’t want to risk a(n accidentally) badly formatted resume losing me an opportunity…

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

This is not the kind of ad most people are talking about though. This is like Amazon trying to get me to buy insurance whenever I purchase electronics (which I never do, of course).

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

You can also use Intellij Ultimate, the only big missing features are project config if you have mismatched versions of Gradle/AGP/Kotlin as well as the profiler.

Based on the sparse information in the article, they’re training the model based on actual data points, not just feeding the data in human-readable format to a LLM.

The End of Privacy is a Taylor Swift Fan TikTok Account Armed with Facial Recognition Tech (www.404media.co)

A viral TikTok account is doxing ordinary and otherwise anonymous people on the internet using off-the-shelf facial recognition technology, creating content and growing a following by taking advantage of a fundamental new truth: privacy is now essentially dead in public spaces....

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

I’ve always done this but when I google my name I still see a website with my full name and birthday next to my family tree :/

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

I think there’s this misconception that the US is basically NYC or dirt-road farmland, and the reality is that there’s a lot of in-between. I live <20 minutes from the closest mall by car, yet even transportation or food delivery apps (e.g. uber, uber eats) essentially don’t serve my area, so forget public transportation.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

Some of us live in places that used to be country and are slowly turning to sprawl. Public transport will work when you bulldoze an area the size of a small country and start over.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

I live somewhere that never had anything but car infrastructure. Should I ride my bike across a 5 line intersection to go to the mall? And before you suggest my local government install a light rail from my house to the mall, I’m surrounded by farmland.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

No they didn’t. They tore up railroad lines and got rid of reliable public transportation. You claim to support the environment, but you’re talking about replacing undeveloped land or farmland with a train. There isn’t enough traffic here to saturate a normal 2-lane road, much less a damn train.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

I usually visit my closest city for one of two reasons: 1) I have some kind of appointment or 2) I know some who lives there. Right now I’m able to drive there and park on the street. What should my alternative be once the city is “hostile” to cars? Remember, I live 30+ minutes away by car and take a highway to get there.

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

It can depend. Sometimes sprawl is car-centric because it’s heavily developed with no alternative, but sometimes there’a a lot of undeveloped land in between things.

I’m curious why you believe one needs to be a multimillionaire to enjoy Niagara Falls?

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

I wonder why they can’t/won’t pay.

No you have it wrong, we just haven’t implement clean architecture with usecases, it’ll be different this time I swear, just wait until Google IO…

[Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.

I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones....

DeprecatedCompatV2 ,

I recall an issue that started with windows 8 and UEFI where the bootloader would get installed on any HDD instead of the SSD where the operating system would live.
