California Senate approves ban on autonomous trucks
  • Generally no.
    A few larger companies do.

  • Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good?
  • That all depends on the specifics of "good pay". I guarantee there is some amount of money that I'll accept to do practicaly any job. That may be far more than "good" though.

  • Do you consider Tron to be cyberpunk?
  • Yes. Absolutely. No question.

    The story is about a little guy, fighting the big corporate power that already beat him once, and is trying take over everything. It also explores trans-humanist themes of person-hood, and AI.

  • Yoyager is now on the Playstore
  • I did not. I didn't have an iPhone to be able to get onto the settings with.

  • Yoyager is now on the Playstore
  • That's the most iOS looking app I've ever seen on Android. Not a fan. Sorry

  • Capitalism indoctrination in progress.
  • That's awesome! It's nice to know it works out sometimes. Congrats!

  • What is so good about sync (and the other interfaces)?
  • There's nothing anyone can really say about your feeling. That's entirely subjective and in your own head.

    You'd have to be far more specific and objective about your observations to have any kind of meaningful dialogue.

  • What is so good about sync (and the other interfaces)?
  • all of them are literally the same.

    That's obviously not true. So if you could explain what you actually mean, that could be helpful.

  • Capitalism indoctrination in progress.
  • In my experience, they're thinking 20-30 cents per hour. And yah, that's never enough to change someone's mind. 20-30% that could make a difference, but it's way too much for them to ever concider.

  • Donald Trump mugshot promised in looming indictment
  • That's not an argument defending Trump. In fact it admission that you believe Trump is a criminal.

    Biden should also be investigated, and indicted if evidence is found.

    I would argue most members of the three branches should be impeached. Mostly for insider trading.

  • Notifications currently use Google services. It's on the list to change. No idea when it'll come.

  • [Solved] Is there any way to disable text selection magnifier on Firefox for android?
  • I'm pretty sure it's a global Android feature that doesn't have anything to do with Firefox specifically.

  • Canon Connections: Strange New Worlds 2x08 - "Under the Cloak of War"
  • Am I alone in not carding about about inter-series continuity?

    Not a criticism. Just wondering if I'm the odd one?

  • FUCK YEAH
  • It's beautiful!

    Also. Charge your phone.

  • Commenting works though!

  • Seeing how good Lemmy is makes me frustrated with Mastodon
  • Lets try it this way. Would say your favourites things, include everything you like? Do you like some things that aren't your favorite? Do you keep a list of everything you've ever liked? Would it be as big as the list of your favorite things?

    Do you see the difference? It's a mater of degree that separates them. They are not the same. That's why they are two different words.

  • Seeing how good Lemmy is makes me frustrated with Mastodon
  • You are in a way. Just not only that.

  • Seeing how good Lemmy is makes me frustrated with Mastodon
  • Favourite and Bookmark are absolutely different things. They're two different lists for you to use as you see fit.
    Neither of them is a Like though. I'm not sure that fact is really debatable.

  • www.abqjournal.com New laws kick in this month and next for NM drivers. Here's what you need to know.

    Get the rundown on new laws passed in the 2023 Legislature and signed by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.

    > Last week MVD stopped suspending driver’s licenses for failing to appear in court or pay fines and fees for traffic tickets. > > If your license was already suspended for not paying a fine or fee, MVD has to restore your driving privileges by Sept. 1. There is no cost to get your license reinstated, but the underlying citations, fines and fees will stay on your driving record and you may have to comply with court orders related to your case. If your license expired while suspended, you have to get and pay for a new one. If it has been expired five years or more, you also have to go through the testing process. This new law does not include commercial driver’s licenses or licenses “suspended for other reasons, such as accumulating too many infraction points, for being habitually reckless or negligent and for other reasons under state law. Those drivers may still be required to pay a reinstatement fee to restore their driving privileges,” according to MVD. > > There is no longer a health standards advisory board, which reviewed physician reports related to medical and vision restrictions. Now MVD agents can accept the findings of physicians and issue credentials based on them, allowing for quicker processing. > > Unhoused individuals can now get a New Mexico identification card from MVD without paying a fee. > > Disabled veterans can now get more than two disabled veteran license plates; the first two are free, and any additional plates “will incur standard license plate and registration fees.” > > On July 1 the annual motorcycle registration fee increases from $15 to $20. > > Also starting July 1 state law will prohibit “the sale of a motor vehicle by a person who is not the owner of the vehicle or a registered dealer. It also prohibits off-site vehicle sales by licensed dealers.” > > And new specialty license plates will be available July 1 “supporting the Future Farmers of America (FFA), recognizing the family and friends of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, advocating driver safety awareness and supporting New Mexico miners.”

    Introductions @compuverse.uk Steve @compuverse.uk

    I am Steve

    Hello everyone!\ I've always been terrible at introducing myself, writing bios, and the like.

    I'm from the US. Originally New York. (State, not the city) Now I live in New Mexico.

    I'm 43. I've been a techie, more or less all my life. I can't speak much about my interests before I was 5 or so. I guess it's be about 38 years. I did find it became a lot less fun, when working on computers became a job. So now I'm an X-Ray tech.

    When I was a kid we had CompuServe in our house, instead of AOL. So on that alone I was immediately drawn here. It's not my first Lemmy account. But based on the name, and it's most excellent theme –Great work Cameron– I expect this might be my permanent "home" Lemmy instance.
