Even when set to 0 you'll still see shorts, it just stops (or limits) the infinite scrolling.

What do you own that is dirty and what are your plans to make it clean?

So Cohn did mention comprehensive privacy laws and the ability to leave platforms. These are absolutely things that need to happen. However as an individual there are still things you can do. Cohn mentions Bluesky because it has no algorithm (except the “Discovery” feed). Cohn also mentions (in the video) Mastodon. And the truth is you don’t need to switch fully, just don’t only slurp down the concentrated hate machine(s). Look at Lemmy. Reddit decided to be pricks and a bunch of individuals jumped over here to create what I think is a pretty good community. That doesn’t mean the problem is solved. That doesn’t mean Reddit isn’t still a problem. That doesn’t mean Lemmy is perfect. But that is a win and something individuals can do. Additionally, those are things you can do now. You don’t need to wait for some law to be passed to fix things. You can make the move now. (While still advocating for laws to fix things.)

It's the reason I buy so many candles. I can cheat the system.

To be fair I don’t have 100% confidence that self driving is safer than human driving. I just believe that based on the current data, it seems to be. If new data comes out tomorrow, then I’ll look at and evaluate that data. I also don’t believe that investment is a zero sum game. We should absolutely be investing in both. Both are valuable. You don’t have to only invest in one.

They’re safer than human drivers. Tesla cars absolutely are not. But Waymo cars? They do seem to be. npr.org/…/why-one-trauma-doctor-sees-self-driving… It’s still early. We still need more data. They should be closely watched. But self driving cars do appear to be safer. That’s why they are a great idea. They are making driving and roads better.

I mean the US is heavily car centric. Self driving cars are an attempt to adapt to what the reality of the world currently is. We should absolutely be doing things to make cars less of a requirement by improving public transit and creating more livable spaces that don’t require cars, that can even be the primary goal, but it won’t eliminate cars completely, and if it does it will take A LOT longer than self driving cars. Self driving cars are a great idea, but they aren’t a fix everything solution, they just one part of an overall solution.

I do my best to avoid putting toilet data on my hand.
