ThisIsNotHim

You've moved away from the part which specifies long-haul trucking. To my understanding this is an area where trains are a reasonable solution.

Last mile coverage we also have room for improvement with much smaller vehicles, like bikes.

Boulders are the best kind of decorative bollard

I had read (in a comment here, so take with a grain of salt) that some had started doing Proof of Work.

I.E. they ask the visiting computer to do some math. This is potentially less annoying to people than clicking on traffic lights or typing unreadable text, but could get costly if you're using bots.

The More sweeping forgiveness attempt was blocked.

He seems pretty committed to forgiving whatever he can get through. It wouldn't be unusual to give up after the initial attempt was blocked, but now he seems to be breaking it apart into more manageable chunks. I'm still slightly hopeful that more forgiveness is coming for those who need it.

It's a good feature, and probably makes sense to default to on. But I know I'll find it more distracting than useful, so I'll turn it off.

Large tooltips on mouseover are usually distracting. Facicons, text, and additional windows do enough to remind me what my tabs are.

New features often aren't helpful to each and every user, but as long as I can turn off the ones that are actively unhelpful to me, I'm perfectly happy to see them.

I didn't see you mention these authors, but maybe because your cutoff date looks to be around 1989:

• Wild Seed- Octavia E Butler
• The Left Hand of Darkness- Ursula K LeGuin
• Dhalgren- Samuel Delaney
• Book of the New Sun- Gene Wolfe
• A Scanner Darkly- Philip K Dick
• Cat's Cradle- Kurt Vonnegut

Not exactly always considered sci fi, but maybe sci fi adjacent:

• The Terror- Dan Simmons, author of Hyperion, seems to be free of his politics
• The Yiddish Policemen's Union- Michael Chabon
• Gravity's Rainbow- Thomas Pynchon
• Fictions- Jorge Luis Borges
• Machine of Death- collection of short stories from various authors
• Infinite Jest- David Foster Wallace

Do current versions typically get EOL announcements? I wouldn't expect it to make sense to announce EOL that early unless it's a product on some sort of cadenced release schedule

For me it also happens constantly with things like the crossword, which obviously can't be listening.

Links between folks is part of it, but a lot is just ordinary coincidence.

Maybe English (Malta) if that's an option

Unless the operating system or other software prevents continuously charging the battery, this could lead to battery swelling, which is a serious fire hazard.

Some modern implementations of Android can stop charging at 85%. I'd recommend doing additional research to verify if this feature is enough to make it safe.

If the battery is removable, you may also see if the phone can power on without the battery.

If those are communication apps supported by the bank, that's the idea. Banks have been hit with huge fines for employees communicating over unapproved channels.

One of the problems with the unapproved channels is that the bank can't enforce a retention period. So written messages that are supposed to be kept on record for 10 years or whatever can get deleted. In the event of a lawsuit the bank can be fined for not having the messages.

Has-text is case sensitive. Adding / before the keyword and /i after will set it to case insensitive.

Example:

lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain/i)

You can also use | to add multiple keywords to the filter.

Example:

lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain|ChatGPT/i)
