Do people consider shuttles and buses the same thing? Because this sounds like a shuttle, which as far as I'm aware is completely different from a bus. I take a shuttle to the airport, which requires a reservation and ~$50 whereas I take a bus to get around town and it's typically free.

Essentially it sounds like they are trying to dip into the shuttle market, not the inner-city bus market. Though maybe both?

..... the reading comprehension level of the average Lemmy user scares me

I literally said that I take the bus. And the shuttle.

You know what's ironic about all this is, as someone who has seen game dev pitches (not good ones), they arguably had their shit together more than most aspiring game devs. Looking back at the skeletals, ya know they actually may have had a chance of getting somewhere. They knew absolutely nothing about the technical side, but hardly any game devs actually do. They probably still stand a better chance today of developing this than some game studios asset-mashing in Unity or Unreal. That's the true state of game dev.

Let me reiterate: I have seen worse.

In fact, Disney once paid a lot of money for a game with even less concept art and design. Unsurprisingly, this game was never released and very little record of it remains. And when I say it was worse. For those who think they know: yes, I'm talking about the viking bears.

Someone never cruised before social media was invented and now suffers brain rot. A lot of people actually.

They're actually not that unaffordable, I was surprised. Starts at like $600 for single person 3-day, which isn't amazing but is pretty fair as vacation budgets go.

I can't be the only anatomical male out there that both agrees with the sentiment but also hates the statement. Say what you will, it's stereotyping against a sex, and therefore sexism by definition. No distinction is made that it's the shitty men. And if any man were to protest against it, they would be labelled an aggressor and dismissed as mad for being challenged or called out when they are simply protesting unconcealed prejudice.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

when this is the only argument they can make, even they know they've lost.

(referring to this user specifically, not the other commenters)

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

I see your point, but the premise backed by that last sentence is fundamentally flawed in my eyes because prejudice leads to division. If you assume there is a high chance that any man you meet is a rapist, then you'll avoid men and eventually have so little interaction with men that you begin to believe they all de facto equate to this mental image of a monster. And that is the problem.

I'm going to follow this up later, maybe not today, with my interpretation of rape statistics for anyone willing to discuss, because now I'm curious how that would contribute to this discussion. Here's what I have so far, anyone is free to contribute to the discussion:

According to RAINN:

  • ~18% US females experience sexual assault
  • ~3% US males experience sexual assault

What I'm looking for specifically here, in addition to other context, is what percentage of each anatomical sex demographic is responsible for perpetrating. It is perhaps a given that it will be disproportionately male, but I need numbers to illustrate my perspective. Also need to account for domestic abuse and whatever else can be used as an argument for why either sex is dangerous to the other, open to any serious suggestions, will ignore any insincere discussion at this point.

Biden Administration: if you want the vote, displace Netanyahu. Your constituents are watching attentively.

It's possible and sensible to acknowledge that people have had bad experiences while also acknowledging sexism, regardless of whether said sexism stems from experience. Prejudice is prejudice.

Saying women aren't sexist if some men have wronged them is like saying white supremacists aren't racist if someone from the race they discriminate against stole their car.

I really don't want to upset anyone by saying this. But I am speaking my truth, my experience, just as you all are speaking yours. Paint me whatever villain you see fit, say whatever denigrating things about me you want. I am a respectful human being who sees all sexes and races as equal, and nothing that anyone says will ever change that. If that somehow upsets you, then I'm sorry you are so far gone.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

Yeah I agree with everything in this comment except for the unnecessary hostility in the last sentence.

People can be slutty if they want. And people can judge you for being or appearing slutty if they want. It's up to you to decide how to react to their opinions. If you want to dress slutty, then you shouldn't care what people think about how you dress because you are just being you. And that's not a matter of sex-- that's a matter of self confidence. And you can't blame your self confidence on other people, because at the end of the day you can't change other people. You can either change yourself or empower yourself to resist change and forge your own path. It's your choice.

As a man, I still would not go jogging at night because that's just generally unsafe. That's how you get mugged, regardless of sex.

Magic

In all reality, it is a ChatGPTitty "fine"tune on some datasets they hobbled together for VQA and Android app UI driving. They did the initial test finetune, then apparently the CEO or whatever was drooling over it and said "lEt'S mAkE aN iOt DeViCe GuYs!!1!" after their paltry attempt to racketeer an NFT metaverse game.

Neither this nor Humane do any AI computation on device. It would be a stretch to say there's even a possibility that the speech recognition could be client-side, as they are always-connected devices that are even more useless without Internet than they already are with.

Make no mistake: these money-hungry fucks are only selling you food cans labelled as magic beans. You have been warned and if you expect anything less from them then you only have your own dumbass to blame for trusting Silicon Valley.

Sadly for me it looks like I'll need to go the DIY route with an esp32 board and an e-ink display, and drop any kind of stt + tts plans

Latte Panda 2 or just wait a couple years. It'll happen eventually because it's so obvious it's literally unpatentable.

Just give up hope. It's really not worth it.

I loved Pop!_OS as it made Debian/Ubuntu extremely usable as a daily driver. Finally I got fed up with outdated package bullshit coming from different angles and went to Rocky. Wish I did it sooner.

Appreciate System76, but they've dropped the ball hard and I don't think it's recoverable
