Capitalism is helping destroy fossil fuels. Solar and hydro electricity is cheaper than fossil fuels.

Government subsidies - interference with he capitalist market - are propping up the oil industry (and the meat industry, while we’re at it).

Properly regulated capitalism is perfectly capable of fixing the climate crisis. Ecology and capitalism work together when going green is cheaper than using fossil fuels.

So my initial response was “jesus fuck that’s some unnecessary hyperbole, I get your point but that’s ridiculous”

And then I realized that’s the same response I have with women who pick the bear so

I dunno

Maybe you all suck?

That’s like…one, maybe two years

As compared with Android, which is like…decades

They’re here because they’re one of the ones doing the manipulating.

Lemmy.ml is a tankie instance.

I think it’s silly. That’s the extent to which I care. Which is more than zero, enough to post about it, but not much more than zero.

I guess technically I have a vague worry about the general increase in tribalism among gen z but this is a tiny part of that. And probably the most benign aspect.

In my day everyone was just straight or queer. You could get more descriptive if you want, but no one cared about the particulars of your sexuality unless they were interested in fucking you.

I swear, Zoomers and ever more specific labels…

Wait is the gay flag not a rainbow anymore? I can’t keep up. The rainbow was so cool.

There are other options than laissez-faire capitalism or communism.

Sure, if that makes you feel better

Obviously data is still collected after that, but that’s not the same as testing

Semantics. It’s literally the same thing, just called something different.

No matter how much testing they get beforehand, at some point they’ll be on public roads. And when they first get access to public roads, that will be a test. That’s just the only possible way for any new technology to come into being.

There will be testing on public roads whether you like it or not, it’s inherent to how any new thing works.

Testing?

Fun fact: this is illegal in many areas

Another fun fact: most shops just do it anyway

Ever? What kinda conservative bullshit lol

I live in the land of bad drivers, and long haul truckers almost NEVER cause accidents. The cause is almost always a passenger vehicle, even if a truck is involved. Truckers get trained.

“Connection error: could not connect to truck, please reload and try again”

Oops, just crashed

I’d love it, I’d go back to school for one

Play so many video games

I think sleeping would negate the purpose though, you need to be able to see when something is wrong and take control of the vehicle

Yeah, if it comes with a tapering requirement over several years I think it’s an excellent idea that saves jobs and also helps ensure safety.
