What Browser do you use on Android, and why? in c/android@lemmy.world

I use the DDG App. It closes all my tabs automatically, I'm the type of person to have hundreds or thousands of tabs open and don't need that on my phone.

Plus it's like incognito mode by default, saving cookies on only the sites I explicitly tell it to

I'm sure I can configure Firefox in a similar way but DDG just feels good to me.

It's just too bad that Riot seems so inherently against supporting Linux. I still enjoy playing ARAMs for watching YouTube on the side and the occasional Val session. Obviously for Val I can just boot over but I do play league about daily.

Inb4 "just don't play league, it's bad anyway" yeah thanks, solid solution

The point of software like DLSS is to run stuff better on computers with worse specs than what you'd normally need to run a game as that quality. There's plenty of AI tech that can actually improve experiences and saying that Skyrim graphics are the absolute max we as humanity "need" or "should want" is a weird take ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

California Passes Bill Requiring New Cars To Beep At You When You're Speeding in c/news@lemmy.world

The problem is that in many places there are no alternatives to driving. Taking away licenses from "those who shouldn't have licenses" restricts their access to regular life so massively that you don't do it unless there's no more room to doubt the decision. The question moves from "do you meet the maximum safety standards" to "do you meet the minimum safety standards".

The solution is to either make driving foolproof or to provide viable alternatives to those unfit (or unwilling) to drive.

The whole design philosophy of the car is fucked and we have designed for failure.

Pi is my favorite chatbot by quite a margin. For anyone that hasn't tried it yet I would recommend it, even if just for comparison's sake.
