Why do I need half a dozen different apps just to go on a road trip? And every single one of them needs its own wallet with my money locked in. Is this just the accepted reality of EV road-tripping now? Feels like a step backward. Isn't there a single app to do all the things

>>
>>106753361
Depends on how busy your area is. If there are a lot of EV owners in your city then probably not. EV charging just doesn't scale up like gas stations do and the only good solution is billions of dollars of electrical infrastructure upgrades.
>>
>>106753315
Don’t worry, sooner or later someone will come out on top and buy out all the smaller ones.
Hell one of these companies built a charging station just down the road from me with like 12 plugs before going under before they activated them.
Brand new plugs under used.

Also, you’re a retard if you buy an EV without the intention of installing a charger in your home by yourself.
If you don’t, you’re wasting all the money you save.

You don’t need more than level 1 charging. Charge at home from your 120v outlet.

A lot of the writing making the case for AI doom is by Eliezer Yudkowsky, interspersed with the expected number of parables, tendentious philosophical asides, and complex metaphors. I think this can obscure the fact that the argument for AI doom is pretty straightforward and plausible—it requires just a few steps and none of them are obviously wrong. You don’t need to think humans are just fancy meat computers or that AI would buy into functional decision theories and acausally trade to buy the argument.

For this reason, I thought I’d try to concisely and briefly lay out the basic argument for AI doom.

The basic argument has a few steps:

We’re going to build superintelligent AI.

It will be agent-like, in the sense of having long-term goals it tries to pursue.

We won’t be able to align it, in the sense of getting its goals to be what we want them to be.

An unaligned agentic AI will kill everyone/do something similarly bad.

Now, before I go on, just think to yourself: do any of these steps seem ridiculous? Don’t think about the inconvenient practical implications of believing them all in conjunction—just think about whether, if someone proposed any specific premise, you would think “that’s obviously false.” If you think each one has a 50% probability, then the odds AI kills everyone is 1/16, or about 6%. None of these premises strike me as ridiculous, and there isn’t anything approaching a knockdown argument against any them.

Yudkowsky and other weirdos, being self-proclaimed intellectuals, assign too much value to intelligence. But intelligence is very obviously not that important, and doesn't magically unlock an ability to predict the future. Any highly intelligent being will not do anything ruthless because it cannot truly predict how things will go. Which is partially why intelligence is not that important, too much of it limits your ability to act, constrains you to a niche.

So it's enough to magnetize the metal and permeate a solid metal case? Then why do faraday cages work? I'm genuinely asking.

Yeah and 15 years later which is older than Xorg's age when Wayland was first Wayland still has less adoption.

All that colossal effort just to make it reach not even future parity that could've been put into actually fixing whatever issue they had with Xorg and implementing new cool features for it. When you talked with them at the start of this all which I liberally did at the time it was so clear they had no clue about the needs of the average user. I was literally talking with some higher ups in KDE and the lead dev of Enlightenment and they actually thought that video games had streaming built in and had never heard of OBS and when I told them that was not the case and provided evidence they actually didn't believe me at first. They were so utterly detached from the needs of many people. These are the “I have no idea what Xfce is or does, sorry.” people.

Yes, Xorg and X11 in general had issues and in many ways it was broken from the ground up but so was Wayland and the issue was that the developers were those typical “bazaar” developers that are fiercely tribalistic full of n.i.h.-syndrome who will defend anything in “their tribe” to death and consequently don't listen to legitimate complaints and then just end up with a piece of software that doesn't fulfill the needs of most people while X was originally started to address many real needs at least of companies.

Especially the security theatre discussion and how they constantly defended it as “more secure” with utter semantic issues rather than actual practical improvements while anyone with an actual brain knew it wouldn't improve the security situation one bit and still hasn't. At the end of the day writing a keylogger for Wayland is just as trivial as it ever was for X11 and we'll always be in the same situation that if you run untrusted malicious code as your user you're fucked anyway.

That’s the only use case for compositing, in general. The first one, not the round windows, obviously, that runs fine in without composition since the 80s when it was invented for oclock and xeyes.

They just fixed this bug where if you send it a 4097 byte message a thread permanently goes into a busy-wait loop. You should see how these poeople “fixed” it.

>>106749877
> maintenance mode
Sure looks like they can’t even keep up with priority 1 bugs, let alone maintenance. Maybe one day it will come close to the performance of X11 too, but it’s going in the opposite direction.

Imgur has completely and totally blocked all UK users from accessing the website because of the Online Safety Act.

If you're a Britanon, try it, you cannot open it:
https://imgur.com/

In addition, any website which shows imgur-hosted images now displays pic related in their place to all UK users, making many sites, guides, forums, etc completely unusable.

We're only 2 months into the OSA era and the internet is already changed beyond all recognition for all British people.

Things are only going to get worse in 2026 as "Phase 3" of the OSA begins in the early portion of that year.
