Downvotes are a contribution, they are just the kind of contribution you don’t like

and we allow rules in comms that ban certain types of contributions, like propaganda outlets, low value sources, *phobia

in general, not allowing contributions that moderators believe is bad for the health of the comm is an acceptable policy

still there from australia too

yeah viable is such a variable concept

i guess like… i have a friend that is a lab tech, and he vibe coded a stand alone HTML and JS page for their team to take CSV and filter it… the excel process they used before was horrendous… in that case, i guess that’s a viable product: it works, isn’t buggy (or at least bugs will become well known and able to be manually avoided or worked around)… i’d say that’s an MVP but wouldn’t be so if you wanted to productise it

vibe coding is trash for MVPs… it’ll get you there, but as always the achilles heel of vibe coding is maintenance and bugs

vibe coding is great for a POC, but the defining difference between a POC and an MVP is that a POC is made to be thrown out, doesn’t have to work all the time (you can say “ah yup just need to give it a kick” when you’re showing it off and manually intervene)

vibe coding is good to show a basic, unmaintainable, non-production version of a feature of function, but then you need to take that and manually build it into your MVP - perhaps by copying some minor parts of the POC, but verifying every step

of course you’re right! we should just shut down some of the largest mines in the world

i foresee no consequences from this

(related note: south australia where one of the largest underground mines in the world is, largely gets its power from renewables)

people should probably move from canada and most of the north of the USA too: far too cold up there during winter

the fact that it made you uncomfortable, or at least thought that it was too much is the point. in the future the author/designers are making a comment on sexual exploitation for profit is commonplace and has been normalised

it’s there to make the setting similar to those familiar to us from universes like blade runner, altered carbon, (to a lesser degree) firefly. it’s the standard sci-fi canon that future corporatocratic society is filled with these things: the money buys whatever you like - the basest of desires are on the table no matter what

and it’s also there in all of those universes as a comment on exploitation and morality: just because you (or rather a select few) can buy it doesn’t make it right

it may not often be part of the narrative per se, but it’s an integral part of universe building: you can’t have narrative in a void, so you need to build a convincing universe to tell the story inside

sounds reasonable… i’ll just go tell large parts of australia where it’s a workplace health and safety issue to be out of AC for more than 15min during the day that they should do their bit for climate change and suck it up… only a few people will die

130 is extremely rare. even 110 is very rare tbh (interstate type roads, and they can often be 100 too)… 80 is our common “fast” speed in metro areas

yeah its pretty standard for australia: +50% of the cost of the item in shipping

shipping TO the US though… when shipping from a lot of places in the US that say free shipping for north america and incorporating that into their product cost, we subsidise your shipping and our own exorbitant rate

australia: $30 product, free shipping to north america, $20 shipping to australia… guess i’m subsidising y’all’s shipping while also getting fucked aye?!

then you have to pay for it though

there are lots of different covers for license plates which block photography only, and allow humans to see the plate. i’m not sure how all of them work

for the tricks that mess up AI, yes

but i believe this comment was talking about things like IR blocking covers and such

and they’re probably highly illegal pretty much everywhere because they stop speed and red light cameras working and that’s exactly their marketed purposes

this is their patch for the whole disk data loss debacle

pour out a tit-daydream for those that can’t

alternatively, instead of having the military have these capabilities perhaps fund non-military departments to do it

it’s a function of the US military being bloated that they can use some of that bloat to do other things, but it’s far from efficient

it’s not technically legal afaik… the license defines a user pretty rigorously

“creamy” is a pretty common positive attribute for ice cream
