Is this an anomalous one-off, or just the beginning? San Franciscans have had enough with Waymo.
=====================
San Francisco Mob Lights Driverless Waymo Car on Fire
"A person jumped on the hood of a Waymo driverless taxi and smashed its windshield..." reports the Verge, "generating applause before a crowd formed around the car and covered it in spray paint, breaking its windows, and ultimately set it on fire."
@CmdrTaco@philsplace@slashdot I was only a couple of years deep into my career, working at a big corporation that had initially brought me on to run their website. I remember someone proposing, “What’s your #Slashdot ID?" as an interview screening question.
https://youtu.be/3EBYHu8H82o ← In retrospect, this is a really obvious way to make good "explaining some code stuff" videos: just set cool-retro-term to 80% opacity, and shove a low-res camera feed of your face behind it. You don't even need to faff with the VT100 bezel for this to come out well!
Bonus if you get the flipping/etc right so that you can raise a finger to point to lines of code, or what-you-will.
@nemothorx So true story: I first discovered #Enlightenment around 1997, and I remember going on IRC and downloading it to compile on my DEC Multia. The FTP site was like ftp.slashdot.org, and someone in the IRC channel kept saying "Ugh, #SlashDot sucks." I was baffled, because it seemed a perfectly fine FTP host to me!
I've been reading Slashdot again for the first time in over a decade.
Got to say, disappointed in the subculture there.
A lot of aging tech bros arrested at the bro level of emotional development. Worse, all they have to say are the same old sophomoric opinions you can guess, and the same dumb jokes. Worst of all, they are very impressed with themselves and they don't realize how lame they come across.
Sadly, they often don't even know what they are talking about, their point of pride.
Help me Kbin-wan-kenobi. You're my only hope. Or...how can we end the enshittification of the World?
I want to like Kbin. I really do. But it's just not the same. There are no apps. The format is not reader-friendly. Usability is way low....
