  • What's that thing the internet insists you be outraged about but you just can't bring yourself to care?

  • people can’t separate fiction from reality

    They can’t. I’m probably taking a tangent from what you intended but the last decade in the us has clearly demonstrated that people can’t distinguish fiction from reality. That people’s words with a global audience can be very harmful even when easily disproven.

    We need to clearly distinguish “news” media from opinion media and hold news to reality. Opinion shows on Fox “News” are a great example of problematic media that needs to be addressed, as is a billionaire owner overriding the news desk of a formerly reputable news service

  • My only real interest in this as a controversy, is bringing back single use bathrooms open to all would be nicer for all of us while leaving this outrage nowhere to go

  • Was about to downvote, before I looked at the community. This is not an unpopular opinion

  • Google shuts down its Nobel-prize winning AlphaFold project as it focuses on Gemini

    Jump

  • The article also talks about a spinoff of AlphaFold…..

    I didn’t click into what that spinoff was but maybe an even better headline is “for profit company creates a free AI to predict protein folding and is moving to monetize it”

  • Are we reading the same article?

    The incident took place at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport in January 2025

  • So the important takeaway is to delete your phone before customs. Presumably you have an encrypted backup you can restore without too much effort

  • I’m not saying I agree with it, just that it’s always been so

  • Women who consider themselves unattractive, what’s something men don’t realize about how they treat you compared to women they find attractive?

    Jump

  • Or could they be looking for what you want? A lot of us almost never get compliments so our first thought is what do you want from me.

  • We don’t need hyperbole here …. If authorities have a legal reason to search and you interfere with that, destruction of evidence is a crime. Delete all you want …. Right up until authorities claim the legal reason to search. Usually that takes a warrant: investigators must convince a judge there is a good reason

    This also includes “when entering the country”. It always has. There’s nothing new here. There are so many things the current administration does to violate rights and due process, but this isn’t one of them.

    The slippery slope here is “or within 100 miles”, but that wasn’t a factor here either

  • That changed this year. Tesla enabled adaptive headlights this spring and I read that Rivian did more recently. Audi is in process but can’t do it with an over the air software update

  • At least in my state, the annual inspection is supposed to check headlight alignment. However I’ve never heard of anyone getting a fail on that so I doubt they do

    Jump

  • Yes adaptive headlights are excellent. It’s finally coming to the US. I believe Tesla and Rivian have them and Audi is in the process.

    It is definitely entertaining driving around with them on, watching the dark spot follow oncoming traffic

    I’ve also seen referential self-leveling headlights but never paid attention to what those are

  • Given that many things, including reflectors, reflect light directly back, yes it is beneficial to have the headlights close to the drivers sightline

  • My Subaru has those and it doesn’t do what you expect. In that case, it’s literally another set of lights synchronized with the steering wheel. There are no moving parts.

    I’ve had people come up to me to point out that “only my right foglight is on” thinking I have a burned out bulb. Nope, turning right lights the right side.

    I seem to remember from a documentary on the Tucker that the moving parts caused reliability issues

  • It’s an arms race. People are blinded by the glare of oncoming headlights in their old cars, so search for a way to safely drive their next car.

    I was tempted for my older car because it was getting really difficult to drive at night with how dim those headlights were, relative to oncoming glare. I see replacement LED bulbs “for off-road use only” advertised as much brighter. Turns out replacing the bulbs (with new correct ones) and cleaning the windshield made some difference. Enough

  • The Fourth Circuit Says Border Agents Can Search Your Phone By Hand, No Suspicion Required

    Jump

  • Nearly every piece of America is patrolled by border patrol.

    can be. Yeah that’s part of my point: the law defining the scope of their actions can be interpreted as applying to almost everywhere. We used to trust that it would be used only to police borders and customs but clearly we’re being naive

  • If the Fediverse became more popular, wouldn't it fall under the law's "Age Verifications" rules too?

    Jump

  • Or if there’s a problem. Even the smallest instance is likely to face enforcement if some issue makes headlines. And law enforcement isn’t likely to care that it’s just one instance

  • If the Fediverse became more popular, wouldn't it fall under the law's "Age Verifications" rules too?

    Jump

  • Many sites are already using age verification as an excuse to block firewalls. Presumably the fediverse wouldn’t but …..

    I use Apple’s “Private Relay” so websites see a regional location rather than my actual ip and location. However oven been seeing more and more sites that block it as “firewalls are not allowed”
