Technology@lemmy.world•"Algorithms lack the spark": Pope Leo XIV calls on church to ally with artists against AIEnglish
122·1 day agoSideing with the church on this one
Though the cynic in me believes (at this moment) the church might actually think “AI” is some omnipotent all powerful artificial intelligence, and not just some LLM “word spaghetti generator”.
Probably afraid that people might start treating it as some kind of all knowing “higher power”. (Who needs God if you have AI kind of mentally?).

9·3 days agoNot much TBH, it requires blocking Sony servers using DNS (stoping automatic updates). Then visting a specific website to load the exploits.
After the exploit is loaded your can install any custom packages as you like.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•LA's streets are breaking faster than we can fix them [Video Short]English
2·4 days agoInterestinging topic, personaly I have only ever heard bus operators and transit agencies being opposed to any street redesigns that are marketed as a proposal to improving street safety, especially if the street redesign includes people that don’t drive.
For example installation of a raise crosswalk or a raised crossway receives immediate push back in my community by the bus driver and transit agency.
Even though a raised crosswalk and crossways has direct benefits to drivers, such as being able to see pedestrians and children more clearly when crossing. And don’t get me started on center pedestrian islands at crosswalks and crossway and the inclusion of bumpouts that prevent drivers from behind overtaken dangerously at a crosswalk and crossways.
Bumpouts are also a great way for a driver to see a pedestrians intent to cross prior to the pedestrian reaching the roadway as well, which allowed traffic to flow more predictably.
The area I live in we had a residential intersection upgraded to something like in the image below. Its great (not perfect) by great IMO, but i still see people in their large emotional support pickup trucks mounting the new curb and driving directly over the new bumpouts like some type of statement against better infrastructure.

Similarly you can’t blame a hammer for causing harm, you blame the individual who holds it.
Yup, and what sounds crazy, when those thourough investigations happen the investigators focuse on what “external factors” could have lead to the crash. Not automatically assuming pilot error/fault or negligence right away.
Once those factors are found, systemic changes are immediately proposed and implemented as you noted. Which leads to that same error not being repeated once again.
The path to safe infrastructure is usually not just “remove all barriers” but instead “control the flow of traffic”
For example when a car hits a building, which happens pretty much daily in North America, it’s automatically “driver fault”. No changes are implemented to the area, nothing restricting another car or vehicle from hitting the exact same building again. No “barriers” implemented to control the flow of traffic.
European countries on the otherhand, when collisions happen the investigation generally leans more towards what caused the driver to collide with something. Not automatically assuming the driver intentionally collide with something.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•LA's streets are breaking faster than we can fix them [Video Short]English
9·5 days agoWhenever I drive down any city roadway I always wonder why do these streets or roads get designed so wide?
For example a residential area has a street that’s almost 4-5 cars wide. Both curbs are used for private parking almost full time. And the remaining 3 car widths are for 2 way travel. Repaving a street like this costs way more just because of the width alone.
I always figure why does the city not just maintain the “absolute minimum” roadway required for the particular roadway classification. For starters street parking should be separated from the street like shown in the image below.

This shrinks the roadways square footage that requires maintenance, such as repaving every few years. If dedicated parking areas are required at street level by a business or homeowner, this area should be maintained and cared for by those businesses/owners ideally, working directly with the city for proper specifications and maintenance details.
Residential areas could also benefit from shrinking street widths, I would almost say a car and a half width is more then acceptable. This benefits the area from a influx of thru traffic and from speeding on the area. It also provides more area on the street for green space, with benefits to health and air quality as well as potential benefits for rain water being absorbed back into the ground.
This would be a example of a narrower residential street that’s about a car and a half wide, still allowing 2 way travel as cars need to slow down and squeeze past each other.

A street like this is a destination, not a thru-way.

7·7 days agoI wish there were some viable “fully cooked” alternatives. I won’t touch apple products with a 10 foot poll, and I owned the first and second iPhone.
As for Linux phone i have tinkered with it but its nowhere close to being a daily driver, yet.
Strangely sometimes I wish the Microsoft phone was not a total flop…
I guess the only thing left if a completely dumb phone, but that does not help if you use your phone more as a “pocket computer” then a phone at all.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How is everyone dealing with Android 17's "Nearby Devices" change?English
3·7 days agoI’m in the same boat as well, for some reason my music apps can’t seem to see my Google smart speakers, but strangely they can see my Nvidia shield and cast to that.
Looked through my app permissions I honestly can’t see anything out of the ordinary or plainly obvious. Both my speakers and android TV (shield) are on separate segment VLAN.
As for granting the permission, I generally like to grant on a app by app basis, lots of apps ask for internet access as a example but don’t actually require it to function. All my game apps for example are completely offline.

17·7 days agoHey can you let me know where I can find more info on this? I am running GrapheneOS as I was having this exact same issue as OP a few day back.
On my browsers I have network access, but nearby devices was disabled.
I checked my private dns settings and granted nearby devices access to my browsers, which allowed me to hit my local self-hosted services.
Just wondering if there is a better way to achieve the same.

15·7 days agoRan into this issue a few days ago, exactly the same way you described.
I am on GrapheneOS and figured it was something to do with a a setting where it’s blocking network access for my specific browser app. After reading your post I see it’s a android 17 feature.
Checked all the settings in my browsers related to DNS at first and was stumped for a bit, until I flipped on the nearby device setting and everything worked.
I also looked into the DNS settings under Network & Internet > Private DNS. Make sure your phone is using your local networks DNS server. Just make sure to understand the implications of changing this (especially when you disconnect from you’re home networks DNS). Also making sure your home DNS is not defaulting to your ISP DNS.
