From the article:

In fact, the company has just begun field testing one application at partner Mazda’s Hiroshima plant.

I wanted to see what their partnership was like so I checked on Wikipedia:

In the past and present, Mazda has been engaged in alliances with other automakers. From 1974 until the late 2000s, Ford was a major shareholder of Mazda. Other partnerships include Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu, Suzuki and Kia.

Wow. I didn't really expect Mazda to be involved with 6 other car manufacturers.

I delete my first comment because I specified what I meant in my reply.

If you don't think doomers existed after the year 2000 then look up "2000 anxiety" and "2000 paranoia".

But if I was really going to double down this would by my response:

Many countries invested little to no money in Y2K and they were fine.

Countries such as South Korea, Italy, and Russia invested little to nothing in Y2K remediation,yet had the same negligible Y2K problems as countries that spent enormous sums of money. Western countries anticipated such severe problems in Russia that many issued travel advisories and evacuated non-essential staff.

International Data Corporation estimated that the US might have wasted $40 billion.

Then I would ask you:

Since you are such an expert on Y2K, what would've happened if the US took the same approach? What exactly would have happened?

Thank you for the info. The 70's is what I thought.

I should've specified. Even after there were a a ton of work put in, doomers existed to the last second. There were doomers who really thought the world was going to end without mentioning the technology aspect of it. These doomers, even after the date passed kept moving up the date and repeated this process.

I envision social media where people's cell phones are the servers so we don't have to deal with corporate bullshit. If people want updates, request the RSS every 6 hour. No one needs to know what the hell I am doing every moment of my life.

I guess so. This is from the article:

Their political project uses the aesthetic of the past to sell a future where minorities are marginalized, women have no political power, and white guys are in charge. That’s how they think it all worked in the past and they’d love for it to happen again.

What the videos don't show is how bad racism was before everyone is able to record at anytime. Shows and movies were very streotypical. Actually since cancel culture wasn't a thing for not famous people, people were really racists in just everyday conversations.

The government's war on immigrants is very much like the war on drugs with were specifically created to target hippies and black communities while at the same time suppying the communities with the drugs they deemed illegal.

In terms of the environment, lead was banned in gasoline in 1996. I thought it was way earlier than that when I looked it up. Shame really. I am no a scientists and the results of microplastics in our system is still being researched but lead poisoning effects are very well documented and I believe the pernament mental effects of it can be seen in a large portion of the boomer population.

This requirement applies to “certified Android devices” that have Play Protect and are preloaded with Google apps. The Play Store implemented similar requirements in 2023, but Google is now mandating this for all install methods, including third-party app stores and sideloading where you download an APK file from a third-party source.

Yes and I could turn it off. Stop punishing developers and users because of ignorant users and malware developers.

Google should stop lying about protecting users and say the truth. This is about getting control, reducing privacy, and protecting corporate interests.

If Google really wants to help the common user then require phone manufacturers to have a minimum of 5 years of updates and don't hinder custom ROM development.

Yeah. I agree. MenaRD is still at the top of his game. EndingWalker shocked me and the FGC. I had to post it here. This is history.

Slate, a car startup backed by Jeff Bezos, is claiming they will release a small truck for $27,000. They will probably jack up this price at some point but now they claim it will be less than half the average cost stated in the article.

SLATE Auto

First off thank you for the info. Second what comes next is not directed towards you.

SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM THEN?!

There are already a lot of products and services created to block adult material. Instead of wasting millions of dollars and thousands of hours of human power, they could've made a law to opt-in to these services at the service provider level.

For example, in this situation, nearly all blocking services would block 4chan.
