Well if it doesn't happen again, that means Linux isn't doing well.

Is this just a title and a picture? Am I missing the details somewhere?

It's a key feature of Google maps that I don't have a great replacement for. I assume moderating the reviews would be a significant challenge for the project.

No, more like the US's revolution likely wouldn't have succeeded if it wasn't for the French support.

France's revolution attempted for a democracy but that got twisted and they got Emperor Napoleon, so then they had to fight again.

Edit: And today the US and France are again fighting similar political battles so it feels like the strong support from a French person has a long history.

The French may not have the first democracy, may not have the best democracy, but they have had to fight harder than most for their democracy.

After reading the sidebar, I'm not sure this counts as an article. Happy to remove it.

That's a great point. I probably could have worded that differently.

I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.

It's satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.

Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.

Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.

Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.

Its a very constructive way to "be right" on the internet.

Is one a sub group of the other? Does either term include toddlers?

I'm having this discussion with someone and we both thought the opposite from eachother and we were quite sure our way of thinking was the common understanding.

Does anyone else think the thumbnail looks like a llama with laser eyes?

If Clear is an equity problem, then the toll lanes that are going in all over California certainly are.

Toll roads would be equal. The toll lanes feel really bad.

I want to know if the car I'm renting comes with liability insurance. I just want to be sure that if I am at fault in an accident, that the other car will be covered. Lets try to ignore any personal car insurance policy and let's ignore collision insurance for now.

I am under the impression that in many countries they are required to give you liability insurance when you rent the car, but I don't have a good source. Many articles have mixed information.

For the US, this article says:

For a registered car rental company in the US, they must provide a minimum level of liability protection for cars they rent out.

But this other article says

In the U.S., every state requires a minimum amount of liability insurance on car insurance policies, so you may already have liability coverage through your personal auto insurance.

Which sounds like in the US your personal insurance is all you have.

That's very fair. I don't like how unpredictable Bluetooth is when you have multiple peripherals and multiple hosts paired to eachother and all within range of eachother.

[-] vatlark@lemmy.world 55 points 5 months ago

So you are saying that AI today is like Bluetooth today

I think it would be the new Instagram Threads app. It looks like a great way for them to get a lot of free content for their new app.

I'm very interested in what thr Mastodon and Lemmy instance admins have planned. I think there are great arguments made in: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

I haven't heard counter arguments that are equally well supported, but would love to hear them.
