What do you mean by Denmark being locked to the euro? It has it's own currency

Okay, makes sense

I can't use the Internet on Mobile without an adblocker. The user experience is totally unbearable

This reads like a post written by AI as well lol

I share space with pedestrians every day on multi use paths. I think bikes and pedestrians are perfectly compatible.

It's really just the cars that don't seem compatible with anything else...

I'm still waiting for offline bicycle, transit and WALKING directions. Why can't it tell me which way to walk without internet but it can tell me how to drive a car??

I honestly think a lot of these terms of service agreements are legally unenforceable, but they don't get contested in court very often.

Like if they say "you consented to the arbitration agreement" I could just argue I never physically signed anything and it was actually my 5 year old who agreed so he could watch TV.

It acts similar to a VPN connection and is able to block network requests to tracking sites/APIs.

Lemmy and Kbin should be pretty interoperable, but Lemmy and Mastodon don't federate particularly well, or at least, the user experience of federation is not great. The formats are just very different since Mastodon doesn't have much of a concept of groups or communities and doesn't have post titles and so on.

But you can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon and posts to the community will show up in your Mastodon feed, and you can boost, favorite (upvote), and comment on the post.

What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

Probably people don't want to live near a bar because of the other side effects, like drunken people and noise issues. But yeah walk it transit to the bar is the way

wesley ,

I didn't say they were right, but I can imagine that's why a lot of them put that.

There's a local bar near me that was trying to get a zoning variance to replace their surface parking lot with outdoor seating and a bunch of people who lived nearby showed up to complain about "noise". It's pretty ridiculous we require parking for a bar at all to be honest.

My retired mother was trying to look for a new Nintendo Switch dock for my niece. She asked me if she was looking at the right one on Amazon and showed me one with a picture of a real looking Nintendo Switch dock except the logo was blurred out.

I scrolled through the Amazon results and was having trouble figuring which was the real one. instead I went to the official Nintendo store and sent her the link to the switch dock from there.

Amazon is really a horrible user experience for buying anything that isn't cheap junk.

I don't understand the tab hoarder mentality. I can't stand having too many tabs open it makes everyone disorganized and less useful.

My workflow is to open random links and searches in private tabs and then when I'm done with the search I just close the window and they're all gone. I also split subsequt searches up into multiple private windows with a few tabs each so once I find what I need on one search I can close those and have the ones I'm still using ready. If there's something I need to reference later I can move it over to the regular browser window or bookmark it.

Makes it easier to manage and doesn't get out of hand that way.

Amazon has been listing products with the title, 'I'm sorry, I cannot fulfil this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy' (www.businessinsider.com)

Amazon has been listing products with the title, 'I'm sorry, I cannot fulfil this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy'::Products have appeared on the platform with odd titles that are seemingly related to OpenAI's usage policy.

wesley ,

Yeah same here. I tried searching a few days ago when another article first came out about this and I couldn't find anything. Even using the links in the article.

Maybe the products were all removed in response to the article?
