No no no u, the person who downvoted you deals only in figuritwatts.

Always used to amaze me as a kid I had to pay 20p to inflate my bike tyre from, air.

Boggled my mind since I had a hand pump.

Southport was a tinderbox, but the current trends if you’re actually from the UK shows that there’s a bonfire incoming.

You only have to watch a couple of YouTube live streams…wait. Tomorrow I wait for age gating to see if Google is that…nefarious in stopping me watching YTP vids without a passport.

Ima gonna giggle

Ah there we go, same old shit

If you visit via old.reddit you can dismiss the modals to sign into the app or your account.

Reddit account?

Pretty old since I haven’t nuked it yet, but I’m not even signed in above as you can see from the above screenshot

I should really login sometime to see if I have lots of threats from mister greedy Spez piggy again, but the headline here doesn’t match up to me trying it in the UK rn.

…tests for science

No we don’t?

Alas, old.reddit wankers ahoy

Clickbait from Forbes, with not a single mention of 2FA/Two Factor Auth?

Colour me not surprised.

See the thing is I know it offends many Indians people when they shit talk post about their respective countries.

A quick skim of your post history shows you like Joe Rogan, and stuff from Yankland and their politics.

But the most funny thing is when people get offended by “bad news” from their “Country”. I’m from the UK and some of the shit we see in the news is hilariously stupid these days and I take shitposting with a pinch of salt. You should try it too ;)

ninjaedit for example: “Oi mate, did u get stabbed 'cause u didn’t av a TV Lociense fella?”

I have, and that’s my point.

I’m a lowly drone pilot that isn’t really made to understand what those lights mean but did out of my sheer curiosity.

But the average pedestrian is going to take some, teaching?

Possibly, and I’d be interested in some sort of 360° LED on top of a vehicle to indicate to pedestrians and other drivers alike of its (de)acceleration.

But jamming some non standard colours in what is a long term understanding on the front of a vehicle I can’t really get with and would like to see the impact to people with partial / colour blindness with using such a system.

Like, does the average pedestrian know what the green and red lights mean on an aircraft? I bet not.

Like someone said in the hnews comments, this might work for auto transmission but with manual gearing you’ve got people using engine braking on hills.

Also like stated in the article the colouring is going to be an issue and trying to see some green lights whilst the headlights are on (full beam fog lights perhaps too?) doesn’t seem practicable to me.

But in general I think you’re probably right that literacy can decrease with disuse

Maths is a really good example of this.

At one point I really enjoyed doing long division in my head but as time goes on (and you don’t exercise that sponge…), it becomes lazy.

Yeah, we do 12 hour shifts on a continental pattern and just finishing right now means I’ve got to grab a shower / food / minor chores and it feels like I don’t get time after work to even think.

However I love my long weekends off and won’t have to go back in until Tues night, giving me a three and half weekend and like it states in the article allows you to take up hobbies (some of being weather dependent) at your choosing. I could never work M-F ever again even thou the hours do suck a little. But, there is also the bonus of simply booking two shifts off and I get a whole week off.

Nah, more like a better WhatsApp but with haters even worse than the WhatsApp haters.

Again, thanks for the insight!

Did a little searching and it seems you could script this to transcribe your calls

Appreciate the insight, thank you!

You want it to auto record every phone call?

Yes. That’s how my phone is currently set up. My ex-wife is a psychopath, so everything gets recorded and backed up.

I’ve got to ask you something here and it’ll probably sound weird, but here in the UK if you did that you’d probably be in for a hard time, legally standing recording others without informing them.

But I’m more curious how often you listen back to these phone calls since you say you record each one, and do you keep lots of them/off-site etc?

I asked Gemini what it thought of that Legal representatives comment

I do like the short or punchy one after reviewing many bots comments over the years, but, who’s to say using LLM’s to tidy up your rantings is a “bad thing”?

Yeah like you I was an avid reporter to r/BotBust which when its owner went off the rails one of the team members then setup BotDefense, and I got recruited to resolve the reports from peeps like yourself and our little counterpart bot that flagged them at a fair old rate.

I ain’t seen nothing like BD over here on Lemmy and some of the bot accounts here are at least listed as such but I have seen numerous ones that aren’t “self labelled”. It’d take a fair amount of effort but if you’ve got enough people to review reports (especially the ones from humans) I can’t see why not as it’s basically looking for common markers / traits / flags.

Indeed and it’s exactly what we did in r/BotDefense before greedy piggy spez shut down the API/communities some built.

I used to watch in amazement at some of the guys who set up bots, to report the bots to us.
