    Any time I encounter this type of article, I presume AI-driven article farming. It would be nice to not face that sort of tripe on a site like this.

    I think that place is one of the many other reddit replacements that have popped up. I look at my feed on Lemmy or squabbles and it's full of low effort stuff. I'd hate to see that on my Tildes...

    And, yes, you can unsubscribe, but I worry if we make the place too hospitable for low effort content, even in a single tag, it will drag down the rest.

    There are places out there for that already. Let's not do it here. This isn't reddit and doesn't need to try to be.

    You know who was really good at not breaking? Chris Parnell. He was a friggin' rock.

    Correct. That makes sense. I was commenting on the top comment's choice of names.

    What an oddly inconsistent naming scheme. Star Trek: Discovery = STD. Star Trek: Picard = Picard?

    Nothing wrong with being accurate. I’d argue explicitly excluding LIDAR from the get go is worse than cutting radar after the fact.

    Musk didn't remove LIDAR. It never had LIDAR. They did remove RADAR in recent models.

    He's not wrong. They knew exactly how much interaction is via third party apps or not. This will be much sound and fury resulting in nothing
