Trains are awesome and I fully support them but let's not be idealistic here and pretend that true self driving cars will never happen.

Edit: jokes on you! I made a grammatical correction that makes your reply IRRELEVANT. πŸ˜‰

SELF-DRIVING TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE STANDARDIZED AND OPEN SOURCE.

Any other implementation puts profits over human lives.

I think you’re probably just a dickhead.

In my case, whether I’m wrong or not, they actively discourage me from using my brain.

I'm an intellectually overqualified filmmaker surrounded by anti-intellectuals (I routinely get made fun of for being interested in technical stuff)....and right now, I am on workman's comp with a broken foot. So: exactly what I am doing right now is exactly what I would want to be doing.

What's that?

That’s a bummer. David Portnoy is alt-right.

I'm finding the signal to noise ratio is higher here. Much higher quality content at the moment. I even see some bots that post the entire article rather than just linking it. I hope that catches on.

In my experience, Voyager is still pretty buggy too. For example, try editing a post then go to do anything else after the fact. I always have to restart the whole app when I go to edit a post I made. They have a ton more features than anyone else but there are still tons of bugs.

react native is another layer and lags behind the dev of swift by at least a year. This is a huge problem for new api's like SwiftUI, in my experience. Ps. Native is ALWAYS better than an approximation of native.

Yes. Case in point: there are at least 10 Lemmy iOS apps. I'll give you ten guesses on which ones are actually native Swift...

There are a quite a few Android apps in progress too. How many are written in Kotlin?

but leaves something to be desired in matters of taste.

Agreed. Still, I just try to find the best examples of absolute technical mastery in whatever form it appears.
