  • Fatal motor vehicle accidents are just over 865000 times more common than commercial air travel accidents, but until dash cams we never got to see them, so people think it can't happen to them, when it's slightly worse than even odds.

  • If we limited drivers permits to the 8% or so of drivers who are actually competent we'd solve a lot of problems in several domains.

    I self-selected as ineligible to drive years ago, and I've never regretted it. Of course I had to move away from my home country and learn a new language, but those are the shakes.

  • Hey. I'm part of the ad hoc team which is assembling to continue development of Mobilizon. So far it's just a tiny group based out of Lyon France, but we're growing.

    Are you willing to provide us at least some small guarantee of access to Thomas for advice and explanations about the decisions he made about the architecture and what direction it should take? I know that her already answers queries, but I worry that it's on his own time.

  • Most of us can't read as quickly as we can absorb spoken language.

    I learned this directly when I decided to create English subtitles for French films and TV as an exercise when I was trying to get from B2 to C1 in French. It was a good exercise, but the result was unusable because the text often goes by too quickly to read.

    That's when I understood that it really is an art.

    The subtitle artist must make descriptions work, punch lines land, and reproduce dialog with the correct gravitas. And they have to do it while cutting 50 percent or more of a meaningful, culturally-grounded translation.

    It doesn't seem like the kind of thing an id-less ml model could ever do.

  • Truth.

  • I spent months imagining what I'd like to do, or see being done to Trump and his lackeys, but I think all of that imagined violence was doing me moral harm.

    So now I like to imagine Tolkien's giant eagle swooping in to grab them and dump them into Chesapeake Bay.

  • It means the same thing as sticking your chopsticks in the rice so they stand up, or as pouring a couple of drops of your alcohol on the ground.

    It's universal. You just have to find the local way of expressing it.

  • Trump's worldview is very similar to Hitler's in many ways. The core similarity is that they both thought/think of everything in international relations as zero-sum.

    There's a lot to it that can't be compressed into a readable Lemmy comment, but it's pretty easy to find material.

    So what are we going to call this historical period? The most beautiful, greatest depression?

    That's it. Anybody got any better ideas for something catchy?

    Prior Versions   What’s new in this version Clarified language in the Privacy Rights section. Updated “Who does Plex share...

    Privacy Policy

    Shamelessly stolen from another forum site:

    Just found out Plex has updated its Privacy Policy page and added a new page to opt-out trackings.

    https://www.plex.tv/about/privacy-legal/

    https://www.plex.tv/vendors-us/

    Up until now all your playback data may be involuntarily sent to ad agencies and companies such as Amazon to silently influence and target your buyings. Now we can opt out everything and keep your watch habit private and treat your plex server like never existed.

    EDIT: now you can also easily access privacy settings and delete all already uploaded watch history, and stop syncing watch states, rating etc. Remember to set all to private if privacy is important to you.

    EDIT2: also double confirm "Send playback data to Plex" is unchecked.
