We can reliably screen for HIV (all blood donations are) why the fuck are homosexuals discriminated against over this.

except that the tests are (per cdc) up to 90 days late in detection. So you may get infected and spend 3 months testing negative.

And judging by OPs being german, where the rule (admittedly only since 2021) is “you may only have fucked one guy for the last 4 months”, this seems like being on the safe side, but not completely excessive to me.

I’ve donated plenty of times, because it makes sense that there is no other way to save lives than to donate.

On the other hand, I’ve been wondering for years, that while I’ve been told a million times that “blood reserves are low - donate blood now!”, I’ve not ever heard that a single person died due to lack of available blood.
Why would something like that not be reported if you want to motivate people to donate?

My personal guess is that this comes because “lack of avaiable blood donations” isn’t a valid cause of death, the cause of death is whatever else (gun shot wound, knife severed artery / complication during surgery etc), thus it’s hard to pinpoint. Also Doctors may try to “save” blood, when they know little is available, and people may die that may have lived if they had gotten (more) blood, but also they may not have and it is hard to tell.

welp. so much for ‘pics or didn’t happen’

why can I not install it?

first time i just get the share button on droid-ify

/e: installig directly from github was no issue

this could be bad for mozilla / firefox.

if Google can’t continue to try to increase / sustain their market share, they may stop paying mozilla to be thw default.

I was hoping for this.
Apples new App-Store rules seemed to mock the intent of the Digital Markets Act.

I wonder how you ever could “upload” a consciousness without Ship-of-Theseusing a Brain.

Cyberpunk2077 also has this “upload vs copy” issue, but doesn’t actually make you think about it too hard.

Looks like a partial clogged nozzle to me.

Just happened to happen at that height. If I’m right it should Start at the bottom on the next print as well.

Cold pull should be the solution.

Curious if this will fix my one issue I have with Finamp.

I have some quite large playlists I’d like to listen on shuffle. Finamp doesn’t do that well at all. (It seems it only shuffles what it has cached or something, as it seems to shuffle “only” the first 100 or so songs. of 3000+)

So Apple still wants to have the power to reject apps from third party app stores.

Curious if that will pass the EUs “Gatekeeper Law”, when they explicitly want to stay the gatekeeper, even if unpaid.

Gentoo?

Those have gotten rather expensive.

But maybe the 4 will become available and cheap now?

I mean Teslas marketing here is totally predatory, and imho this is where they should be severely punished.

once it became kinda publicly known that Teslas “Autopilot” doesn’t mean hands off driving, they changed to Full Self Driving ^capability

If you are relying on T&C as a get out of jail free card for your safety system, then it isn’t a safety system.

That’s how every safety system works.
You define the necessary conditions in which it works, and guarantee (with testing and validation) that in those conditions it does its job.
Nothing works unconditionally.

The Conditions in this case are in fact, that it is an assistance system, and not a safety system, because everybody knows it can’t be relied upon. It probably works >99% of times, which just isn’t (nearly) enough for driving.

Then it should not be called “Autopilot.” The AI required to make real autopilot work does NOT exist now and probably won’t exist for decades.

Well, in Aviation, where I believe the term “Autopilot” is most commonly used, at least before tesla, an Autopilot is actually exactly what Tesla offers.
When everything is fine, it can keep the plane going.
If issues come up, it disengages and the pilot has to be able to receive full control

/e: also, waymo and cruise already have completely autonomous cars, which generally work.

Except that Tesla does claim that they’re autonomous self-driving. They’re even among the group pushing to be allowed to sell cars with no driver controls.

https://www.tesla.com/en_eu/support/autopilot

they really don’t say that. I mean they advertise with it, sure. But always when it actually comes down to it, tesla admits it’s an assistive feature that requires constant attention.

Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment. While these features are designed to become more capable over time, the currently enabled features do not make the vehicle autonomous.

and you get warnings source (or here ) when you first sign up, as well as reminders when the car detects that you don’t follow the requirements.

if it disengaged a few seconds before, the crash is still the fault of Tesla’s software.

I actually disagree, because it’s not self driving, it doesn’t actually claim to have any autonomous features. The driver has to be aware all the time.
The way all of this is worded when facing the public is… horrible, that’s true. But since the warnings once in the car seem to all be there, I’d say that’s more a false advertising issue than a “is your product actually safe?” issue.

Really interested in how this comes out, even more data would be interesting to me.

I’m not convinced that mobile is a good platform for longer-term games.
want to spend 5-10 minutes waiting on the bus while flapping a bird or crushing some candy? makes sense to me.
Resident Evil? I’m not so sure.
On the other hand, Fortnite seems to work, so what do I know?

Anyway, I think Phones have become powerful enough that they should be able to get docked to a Desk/TV. Then it makes more sense to me again, a Phone could be the only computing device most people use

not 100% sure, because weather is a bit device specific.
But usually you should be able to install either weather notification or quickweather (use an API key for OpenWeatherMap) and have that data sync via gadgetbridge to the watch.

And ZeppOS watches (most/all Amazfit watches) are well supported!
Can’t recommend it enough, for anyone privacy conscious at least
