It’s a recent development. First the LiDAR manufacturer leaked that they sold them to Tesla. Then several teslas had been spotted with LiDAR rigged on to their roofs. Then in a lawsuit an engineer admitted they’re training fsd with LiDAR

Waymo doesn’t give a shit if their cars are ugly and can cover them in dozens upon dozens of cameras and sensors. They’re not selling them to consumers who care about looks, they are renting them to riders who don’t want to die on the short trip. They also only operate in a small region of the country with limited weather conditions and frequently stop service when weather is bad.
Tesla is run by an idiot who insists that a pair of cameras and a single lidar sensor that they keep deciding to disable can somehow magically always work in all weather and lighting conditions and is selling to consumers who don’t want an ugly car and expect to be able to operate their purchase at all times
Different constraints leads to different levels of success
I saw FFDI. Not much better.

Ehh. I fit myself, my wife, my kid, my dog, and a cooler and 2 surf boards on a golf cart and I can park it without needing to lock it up somewhere. A cargo bike that big easily costs 2-5x more than a golf cart. Realistically I’d actually need two cargo bikes to haul that much.
A single golf cart can hold 2-6 people plus cargo depending on the model. They fill the car niche better than the bike niche but at a ridiculously low price point if you aren’t getting fancy.
A lot of California is like this. I lived in San Diego and most homeowners had a golf cart. It’s actually really nice to use for groceries shopping and hauling coolers, surf boards, and small boats to the beach without using any gasoline. They are basically ultra light EVs.
Cali lets you register golf carts for the road as a non-highway vehicle. So you can putter around your local neighborhood but not any further. They actually reduce highway congestion and parking congestion since you can park 5 of them in a street parking space that holds only 2 cars.
Yeah it turns out that Airbnb hosts behave much more like hivemind landlords than business owners. They all wind eachother up to behave the same in their forums and chatrooms. The advice on how to operate comes from other greedy reactive people and not from like consultants and data mining and people with degrees in their own field like it does with hotels and large businesses.
Airbnb hosts are “school of hard knocks” TikTok and Instagram advice listening get rich quick schemers who put minimal investment into quality.
Both groups are enshittfying their industries. But the downward slope is much steeper in airbnbs than it is in hotels.
This example is a sellers agent and not a buyers agent. Buyers agents are basically useless parasites. We did all the work ourselves hiring a lawyer and an inspector and finding and going to listings on Zillow and other platforms ourselves and then this mooch basically caused the house we bought to be 2.5% more expensive for what exactly?
I think they mean natively detecting other Lemmy links and following them in-app instead of launching a browser. That’s usually what link-handling is shorthand for in the software industry
I frequently find voyager opens a browser to a random other lemmy instead of sending me to the post inside voyager itself
This is exactly how ebpf was implemented for the Linux kernel. You can build watchdog processes that can see what’s happening in the kernel and build kernel interrupts but it’s actually all executed in user space and not rewriting the kernel itself. Since it’s a proper api, it also means it’s incredibly hard to fundamentally break the system, unlike when you’re just blowing away kernel code with your own shit like all these security products do.
This will drive billions into refining the surveillance state. They now know they need genuine original human interaction and will do everything possible to capture everything from texts to cctv footage
OP is not entirely wrong. At least in Linux land you can now implement EDR like functionality entirely with EBPF without installing a fucking rootkit. So traditional EDR products are a grift if you are on the bleeding edge.
It’s not the best tool out there. It’s the laziest one that works. It’s perfectly possible to securely operate without a rootkit hacked into your kernel.
Modern approaches involve running an ebpf module on rootless immutable images that are scanned on build. My org is PCI, SOC2, and HITRUST and we didn’t go down because we would never take such a sad lax approach to hand off responsibility for security to a third party. The trade off is your head of compliance and security need to actually learn things and work hard to push alternatives with auditors and consultants and most companies put an MBA who can’t critically think their way out of an empty room at the helm.
Please expand on what you mean.
For context, I live in greater Boston. The state here has actually forced towns and cities in the inner belt around Boston to remove their zoning laws anywhere within a mile of a train or subway stop. Thousands of additional condos and apartments have been (and are being) built as a side effect and we will have dozens of new squares with shops and businesses on the ground floor and tens of thousands of new residences surrounding our transit hubs.
It’s not been smooth. Some towns are suing the state and doing other random bullshit to slow the process. Pushing these rules to the federal level would actually help states and metro areas consisting of multiple connected cities address the issues more efficiently.
Eliminate zoning and force cities to build up. Nobody wants a house in the middle of nowhere
unique screens have unique canvas fingerprinting.
Exactly what I just said? Don’t use unique screens and you are less identifiable. The most anonymous browser is a freshly wiped two year old Apple device running safari or chrome from a university campus or coffee shop. A million other laptops have the same base canvas fingerprint.
Fewer people use Linux. Fewer people use specialized browsers. Fewer people have external displays. All those things make you easier to fingerprint than a vanilla machine.
Is it possible you misread what I typed?
The least unique setup is not to keep doing more special shit. You underestimate how many people run a vanilla safari or chrome browser on a MacBook with no external displays.
Linux, external monitor, special browser? That all makes you more unique
It’s a duplex so the HOA only has two homes in it. The fees were designed to cover the water bill, master insurance policy, and slowly collect enough money to replace the roof every decade or two.
Unfortunately the other unit has no interest in even basic maintenance so unless we take care of everything the place slowly just falls apart. We’ve had to fight with them over every tiny repair from siding damage to a literal hole in the roof that a squirrel chewed out. They keep running an Airbnb with loud guests who throw parties despite it being against the HOA and unless we pay for our own lawyer there’s no way to actually enact the fines and stuff as laid out in the HOA rules.
We’re selling and never buying in a small HOA ever again
