  • A Judge Accepted AI Video Testimony From a Dead Man

    Jump

  • This was shown before the sentencing. The judge referenced it explicitly in their sentencing as a reason to apply leniency.

    From a comment above:

    Here's what the judge had to say:

    “I loved that AI, and thank you for that. As angry as you are, and as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness, and I know Mr. Horcasitas could appreciate it, but so did I,” Lang said immediately before sentencing Horcasitas. “I love the beauty in what Christopher, and I call him Christopher—I always call people by their last names, it’s a formality of the court—but I feel like calling him Christopher as we’ve gotten to know him today. I feel that that was genuine, because obviously the forgiveness of Mr. Horcasitas reflects the character I heard about today. But it also says something about the family, because you told me how angry you were, and you demanded the maximum sentence. And even though that’s what you wanted, you allowed Chris to speak from his heart as you saw it. I didn’t hear him asking for the maximum sentence.”

  • Looking at the trees brings most of the relief, so I expect even those are just as calming as long as you don't touch them and don't know what they are.

  • Trees are also essential for insects, bird and animal life in cities. They are psychologically calming for people as well.

  • Shes had sharp quips about Dave over the years, and the timelines work out.

    She dated Ryan Reynolds for years too. She clealry has a thing for comedians.

  • Cant Kobayashi maru the trolley problem. There is no choice but the choices presented.

  • The lift here is that you setup the end users client. If they aren't local, buy one and ship it. Since it will be on your always on tailscale vpn, you can then interact with it remotely if needed.

    Android tvs can be had for $35, Raspi 5 are around the same range, with apple tvs about $130. Have people pony up the cash and mail one of what they want out to them.

    That may be too much to ask if you share to a lot of casual friends/family, but its been a successful answer for me.

  • Jellyfin takes more work, but can be a "simple" end user experience if you set it up for them.

    Use a reverse proxy to get a letsenceypt cert for your jellyfin server. SWAG, Caddy, lots of options. Then setup a free tailscale account and add your jellyfin server to your tailnet. Install the jellyfin and tailscale apps on the user android tv/apple tv/computer, then enroll the devices in your tailnet.

    They will have always on, ssl secured, vpn protected media sharing for free.

  • 13th century vs 21st century

    Jump

  • Tourists have to buy day passes or a discovery pass in Washington. Day passes are $11.50/day. They are already in general being charged way more than people that go to the parks year round with the $35 annual pass. This is comparable, but actually higher, than what hawaii charges tourists.

    Hawaii's parks are visited way more by tourists than Washingtons parks. You would have to make the tourist pass something ridiculous to cover the shortfall, which would price out tourists, meaning no income for the park, meaning parks destroyed by Washingtonians.

    $35/yr is a reasonable resident cost. $11/day is a reasonable tourist cost. Seems like Washington has made reasonable choices for this that reflect the states needs.

  • 13th century vs 21st century

    Jump

  • I'd also prefer this to be rolled into an income tax, but Washington doesn't have one. The state only has a regressive sales taxes, one that has an outsized impact on our poorest citizens.

    By making this a "fee for use," it at least minimizes the damage to the poor who can't access the parks at all.

  • 13th century vs 21st century

    Jump

  • Ha, sense of entitlement eh? That's a quick pivot away from your weak point about "bikes are dangerous because of rare mountain lion attacks" i guess. Now trying to call me abelist and classist as a random jab? Sure thing, pal.

    The common is the commons and has to be paid for. Without funding the commons falls to "the tragedy of the commons," where the common good is destroyed by overuse and neglect. Washington has opted to protect the parks with a minimal, once a year fee to the people doing the most damage to the commons, drivers, that you are complaining about.

    So you think the people using a common good and doing the most damage to it should not pay for that use? Why should the poor people without cars, the people who aren't able to bike or drive, pay for your visit?

    Jump

  • Neat article. Can you link me to one about the tens of thousands of mountain bikers in Washington that were not chased by cougars?

    All outdoor activities in nature carry risk, some more than others. By far the most dangerous thing for cyclists is motorists, not wildlife. If you can safely navigate the roads to get to a park, your other risks are minimal in comparison.

  • 13th century vs 21st century

    Jump

  • Super fun and challenging, most likely. Some of the roads are likely difficult on a bike.Lots of other state parks that are accessible by bike besides those two. Heres a great list that includes a bunch.

    Paying in $35/yr so the state parks can be maintained and improved is a very reasonable cost, especially with all the damage people and cars do to them.

  • I think you misread my post. Im not defending fosstodon or carrotcypher, I was asking for more clarity about the issues.

    Reading up on him in the linked posts, he looks like a big piece of shit that shouldn't be moderating a large mastodon instance. It's clear he abuses his power there and on the 50 communities here on lemmy he mods to silence discussion that doesn't align with his views.

    You opting to "not look into them" is the same stance as the Fosstodon admins, and honestly, not a good choice.

  • The link above requires going to a sublink that is long but also very vague to find out the core issue. That link has basically no call outs for a callout post, just byzantine commentary about fosstodons overall code of conduct.

    Which fosstodon mod engaged in what racist/anti-lqbt behavior? Where is the admins reply when they were notified about the above behavior?

    EDIT: found this post of the mods issues. The feckless Admin response is here.
