Just because my monkey brain falls for clickbait doesn't mean that I want it.

The MKBHD thumbnail is a perfect example of this. I really want to know what makes that phone almost perfect because I can't fight my curiosity but when faced with an honest title like the one on the right which states that it's just a review makes me realize that I'm actually not interested in it.
And after clicking on a clickbait video and scrolling through it to check if it actually delivers on it's promises I'm mostly left disappointed and will close it again.

And I can't just ignore all titles that pose a question like this because there are youtubers like technology connections that actually deliver on their titles promise in a thourough way.

Android isn't linux though. That's like saying MacOS is BSD.

TIL police are forcefully injecting people with Ketamine WTF!

Wait people that think a scrambled number pad is appropriate allow you to use your fingerprint?
A hacker demonstrated at a CCC congress how he got the fingerprint of the German defense minister with a digital camera.

Fingerprints are pretty much public information lol

I know this is a joke but here comes my two cents:

1. Create a hidden folder called .free_energy_designs
2. Put some random images of pyramids in there
3. Use VeraCrypt to encrypt with secret second encryption layer where you store your porn

I agree, though I also believe that Reddit is like that already.

I've driven pretty much everywhere in Germany except Bavaria and I've never experienced a horror show such as @DeadlineX described or what I regularly see in dash cam footage.
I may need to get a dash cam myself though to collect proper evidence of German driving behavior.
In my experience the worst drivers are from Hanover and would be interested if anyone can confirm or deny that.

To properly encourage appropriate driving speed proper road design is needed.
On a highway in the Czech Republic for instance I've noticed that the lane dividing markings are shorter and closer together between the first and second lane which made it easy to drive the 130km/h limit without looking at the speedometer because the sense of speed was greatly increased while on the highway in Germany I feel quite comfortable at 200km/h while at 130km/h I feel like a snail barely moving forward.

These problems could be solved with better road design, better rules and better drivers education.
Especially the lack of drivers education in the US knocked me out of my socks.

In Germany where I live we have 14 mandatory theory lessons in 90 minute blocks.
You also need to complete at least 12 practical lessons in 45 minute blocks (most people take double the amount) of which 4 are on country roads, 5 on the highway and 3 at night. The driving test is done by a non-affiliated third party and you need to be at least 18 years old to drive alone.
After all this you still need to drive for 2 years without any major infractions on your record to keep your license.

I believe we should also do mandatory safety training every few years.

In Germany the situation isn't perfect either but I've never experienced thinks like road rage in my life and the worst drivers are almost always foreigners, although I don't know why because I thought driving license requirements are comparably strict across Europe.

Edit: when I'm talking about Europe I'm not talking about the Balkan states. People act and drive like maniacs over there (my cousins were amazed that I could drive a car without them clinging to dear life :D).

There is a big difference between a self driving car that is monitored by a human and a car driving entirely on its own.

I wholeheartedly believe that electronic driver's aids can improve traffic safety (ESC, ABS etc.), but they need to aid the driver and not replace them.

I'd like to point to how aircraft pilots are using their autopilot and other electronic aids in that they give control of the airplane to the computer but continuously monitor the plane and make sure everything is working properly even though aircraft are much more straight forward to fly for a computer than cars are to drive.

FOSS isn't about building from source though. It's about making software accessible without restrictions on who uses it and how it's used.

By the way Gentoo is also giving you convenience compared to Slackware or building Linux from scratch.

I can see it embedded on kbin if that's what you mean.

My router actually has 4 brightness options for the LEDs with one of them being "off". I wish more manufacturers would think about stuff like this.
