We don't necessarily need billionaires. It would help, but there are enough Democrats/liberals that we could lobby ourselves. But nobody ever wants to join a lobby and nobody is pushing it. If large companies can lobby, so can we if we band together.

We need to impose term limits, fix education, reschedule drugs like pot, and pass some amendments to the constitution. Change the supreme Court so the people can recall them by popular vote for things like treason and knowing conflict of interest that they act on. And the electoral college needs an overhaul. Every state should follow the same criteria for choosing electoral voters and they should do ranked voting in addition. We also need to have federal anti-gerrymandering laws etc.

And for God's sakes we need to look into and reform how many senators and congressmen states get because that's just broken as hell.

For what it's worth, Americans are fed up too. And exhausted.

The matte screen is enticing especially with stylus support but it's too big for what I'd use a tablet for. The pixel tablet I already have is too big, honestly.

Can they fix all the things that they promised that don't work for the current gen? Like swapping accounts based on voice commands or fingerprints etc?

It is to some degree. Lots of other new cars have lane keeping assist and automatic braking, BLIS, adaptive cruise control etc, and so on with more capable sensors and can for the most part drive without input from the driver better than the Tesla models with ultrasonic sensors or simply cameras. In fact the ones that rely solely on cameras absolutely do reportedly perform worse in testing. Musk was insistent that they could cheap out on the types of sensors used in order to make more profit and it shows. I don't think it's that tech cannot handle self driving currently. I think that it's a numbers game where the firms attempting it want to do it as cheaply as possible while promising the moon and stars which they can't deliver on a cheap budget. Vehicles like Ford's (Blue Cruise) use all kinds of sensors including radar and GPS to allow for handsfree (not self driving) and it does work. The proofs of concept are out there in the world, but the costs to go from something like that to full self driving just doesn't make it feasible for the average car manufacturer.

Yes. Additionally, videos I watch at work do the same thing without the pihole.

How much of the traffic increase is bots. Because we still don't have those numbers and I still don't believe this is anything but bot influx and reddit grifting using ads.

I was able to add techdirt to Feedly too.

I use Bazzite and with the exception of like 4 games (windows only) it works beautifully for gaming. Gaming on Linux is getting better every day and even if you don't use steam, I think it might be worthwhile to give it a try.

I'm curious how this will affect things like sub-a-thons where people stream for charity and so on.
