Much of the mechanical business in the legs was exposed so that you could see how the joints and pushrods worked,

FOD damage central.

It's a brutal message to westerners who are whining about Chinese dominance in electric cars, claiming it’s ‘‘unfair’’

That’s the Chinese quality insurance system.

That only applies of the quality of the product hurts Chinese people. Cheap mass market crap for westerners isn't gonna be held to such standards.

And if they are the children of lesbians, then it's an eternity of "go ask your mom."

people don’t need a guide when using a chat bot that tells them how they should treat and interact with it.

Then why are people always surprised to find out that chat bots will make shit up to answer their questions?

People absolutely need a guide for using a chat bot, because people are idiots.

We hope. Whoever actually pushes the buttons might not understand the proper order of things.

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 2 points 4 days ago

On this, I think we can agree.

An individual of refined taste, I see.

The one does not flow directly from the other. A better world requires some protecting from each other, which means giving up some freedoms. A system of complete and total freedom would not be good for most people.

However, as Franken said, it is important not to give up essential freedoms. What freedoms, exactly, count as "essential" ones? Hard to say. We should have a thread to discuss it.

And really into witches.

Isn't everyone?

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 1 points 4 days ago (4 children)

No, it isn't.

What does that have to do with my claim?

I don't know if you've noticed, but a lot of the trouble in the US was caused by people using their freedom to do terrible things to people, and to set the stage for more of the same.

 

New to this whole Lemmy platform, but I'm liking it.

One problem I'm having is auto-play videos when I open some discussions. Not in the comments, but the post itself starts playing.

I'll skip my usual rant about what I think should be done to whoever decided to make that a feature, and just ask how to turn it off. I have "auto expand media" unchecked in my lemmy settings.

I appreciate any advice.
