I deleted my comment because I was not up to arguing with Rossmann’s fan club

I'm not even a huge fan of Rossmann, I was just asking you to explain what you felt he was wrong about. At no point in the thread did you ever explain why you were so vehemently claiming he has no idea what he's talking about in this video.

it was a waste of my time

If anything, you wasted everybody else's time by making a weird claim and refusing to explain yourself.

Edit: lmao deleted again, guess we'll never get an answer, will we?

Could you elaborate as to what he's wrong about?

The price increases stop once it’s not profitable anymore.

When has this ever happened?

With this being a free service, I feel like calling it NASA+ is a bit misleading. To me, I feel like the "+" indicates a paid, premium service. If it wasn't for the title of this post that clarifies that it's free, I probably wouldn't have even considered installing the app based on the name, alone.

Either way, this is great news! I'm probably gonna check this out once it's available. I wish they'd have a release date, though. The official page just says "Coming soon".

The lack of discussion isn't due to the bots, though. That's due to the users simply not participating. There's no technical difference between a bot-posted thread and a human-posted one; users can still engage in the comments section all the same.

Personally, I don't mind the bot accounts for the most part. There aren't enough humans posting new threads in some communities, so the bots at least offer the potential for discussions to occur, but it's up to the users to actually engage.

PeerTube will be a real competitor to YouTube when the Year of the Linux Desktop happens.

There's nothing natural about chicken farms.

When I worked at Waymo, we had a ratio of about 10 cars to 1 remote human. I dunno if Cruise is being over-protective, if their tech is just that bad that they need more people than cars, or if the number is just incorrect.

Either way, it hardly matters. It's not like these things are commercially available for a long time yet, anyway. In the testing stages - which Cruise 100% is still in - you definitely want a sturdy team of humans capable of intervening for safety reasons.

Not now, but in theory the tech will continue to evolve. Drones will continue getting better ranges as battery tech improves.

It likely won't be something that reaches widespread adoption any time soon. But in time, I could see this being a very useful service.

Assuming you live in any moderately-developed area, yeah this is kind of a useless service. But I can see this being very useful for people who need things delivered to remote or otherwise hard-to-access places where a delivery vehicle can't easily get to. Until the cost of maintaining a drone fleet drops substantially, I don't see it being more feasible than the standard delivery van service for most people, not for a while at least.

Yep, it's going to be a constant game of cat-and-mouse from now on. Google isn't going to relent on this.

I've not tinkered around with it too much yet, but how has your experience been with actually viewing the results? I would imagine that most results are statically likely to be for an instance other than the one you have an account on, requiring a few extra steps to load the post in your home instance if you wanted to vote/comment on it.

This is one of those UX things that I think is still holding Lemmy back from more mainstream adoption, imo.
