Hoboken, NJ reduces annual traffic deaths to zero
  • The bike lanes suck though. They are next to the street, instead of behind the parking and next to the sidewalk. As a result, on the main street in Hoboken (Washington street), there are always cars double parked in the bike lane during the day or drinking hours of the night, because parking in that city is horrendous. It's common to see an entire block or two full of cars double parked in the bike lane, making it unusable. Also, they redid the bike lane with textured hexagonal bullshit so using any wheels smaller than e-scooter wheels (skateboard, roller skate) is just a super rough ride.

    Great that he stopped pedestrian casualties, but he severely harmed personal non-car transit.

  • Google is ‘crooked’ and a bully, CEO of Fortnite-maker Epic Games testifies in Play Store trial
  • How did they crush f-droid? What did they do to set alternative app stores on Android back? We aren't talking about YouTube here, your entire comment is just making shit up about Android stores because you are bad about other parts of Google.

  • Kotaku Asks: How Soon Is Too Soon For A Video Game Remaster Or Remake?
  • You don't get it, the 13th time they remake the first gen games, then it will really be different.

    I'm so glad I found persona/SMT to scratch that same itch but with actual depth, difficulty, and variety.

  • New Leica camera stops deepfakes at the shutter
  • You have it backwards. This is not too stop fake photos, despite the awful headline. It's to attempt to provide a chain of custody and attestation. "I trust tom only takes real photos, and I can see this thing came from Tom"

  • YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users
  • Almost all user agent strings start with that Mozilla prefix because Mozilla made the first browser with "fancy" features, so in the early internet many websites checked for that string to determine if they should serve the nice website or the stripped down version. Later when other browsers added the features, that also had to add that to their user string so users would get the right site. Which just cemented the practice.

  • Scottish minister blames sons watching football for £11,000 iPad roaming bill
    1. Why is your son streaming on mobile data?
    2. Why does your son have access to government hardware?
    3. Why did you hide it?

    Three strikes and you're out. Anybody can make a mistake, but you're way past a simple parenting mistake here.

  • Portal on the Nintendo 64 is incredible
  • The alternate timeline would have to be pretty wacky, a lot of his techniques are using modern software development progression. Sure, the N64 was a limited platform, but also they didn't have efficient and optimized algorithms back then that enabled this type of performance on lesser hardware. That came with decades of experience writing code like this.

  • [Louis Rossmann] Piracy is COMPLETELY justified: Louis tries NetFlix and remembers why
  • It's not about percentages or watching everything. It's about I want to watch what I want to watch, and usually that's the opposite of the popular stuff.

    Also let's be real if we have to resort to going out physically to buy plastic disks that I'll just immediately throw away after ripping, something is still drastically wrong.

  • [Louis Rossmann] Piracy is COMPLETELY justified: Louis tries NetFlix and remembers why
  • I mean yeah it's selfish, but it is definitely righting a huge injustice:

    There is literally no customer centric way to watch these shows, or most modern media at all. Where can I literally buy shows that I can then resell. Where can I get a subscription service that's focused on giving me the best content possible and not trying to squeeze value out of me by influencing what I watch or selling my metrics or up selling me to a bigger plan after killing the previous plan or any number of other dark practices. Where can I buy DRM free offline files of these shows so I can watch them on an airplane on my own hardware without Internet?

    It's fucked up that there is literally no way for people to buy their entertainment and not be fucked over more for trying to do it the legal way and spending money. And piracy needs to exist as a breaking point to stop these companies from getting even worse.

  • The new Twitter is becoming a cesspit of disinformation
  • Didn't the mods say they were going to do something about musk/Twitter spam?

    This isn't even about something Twitter did

    This isn't even about something Twitter might do

    This is just a dude talking about what everybody knows about Twitter. And musk fans upvote anything Twitter, and musk haters upvote this out of a sense of validation that is shit.

    Voting is not good for this, please ban the musk spam

  • StarCraft could return, according to Blizzard president, but not necessarily as an RTS
  • WTF does "dead genre" mean? There are still people that love it and play it and want more.

    The people shouting at blizzcon aren't yelling because they need a new model and voice lines for protoss units, they are doing it because they want another RTS

  • Model says her face was edited with AI to look white: ‘It’s very dehumanizing’
  • Air brushing, Photoshop, and AI are specific methodologies, you can't just use that as a generic term when that will just create more confusion and hide the meaning, especially when the difference is important due to legislation.

    I never put out an article saying it was one of them definitively. I just said the style looked similar to another method.

  • Model says her face was edited with AI to look white: ‘It’s very dehumanizing’
  • Because the article specifically said "AI". It could have just said "edited" and left it at that is the methodology was unknown. But when the methodology is both unknown and doesn't affect the story at all, it's bullshit to put a potential lie in the headline just to act relevant to a different hot topic issue.

  • MMO players blast "disgusting" $90 early access charge for WoW: The War Within - "We must say early and loudly that this is not okay"
  • Amusement parks can't just spin up extra servers to handle load at peak times. Video games can. Also there is not a complex economy and ranking system that pits guests against each other at an amusement park.

    The comparison is not even remotely reasonable.
