When has a cop ever approached your car with an NFC reader?

Discussion from when this was posted yesterday: https://lemmy.world/post/19055957

I've never understood the appeal of digital driver's licenses. If I get pulled over, there's no fucking way I'm unlocking my phone and handing it to a cop.

My little brother was expelled from school in 1st grade for drawing a gun (which looked far more like a banana) and pointing it at another kid. That was in rural Alabama in 2000. Nothing new here.

I read it on their sources page at some point, but it looks like that page has changed since last I looked.

That's technically true, but it's as misleading as saying they get their search results from Yandex. Their results are aggregated from several search engines, not just Bing. They also have their own web crawler, DuckDuckBot, which absolutely respects RobotRules.

Edit: I'm told my information is out of date. No more Yandex because of Uncle Sam. Yahoo is just Bing now, so that index doesn't count anymore. The bulk of the rest of their sources are largely inconsequential specialized search engines. Their sources page states that they "largely source from Bing".

Bonus points for buying a smart TV to get the heavily discounted price and never connecting it to the internet.

Never seen that before today and now I've seen it twice. Was just thinking that 'opens new tab' was an odd name for one of the plaintiffs in the Anthropic lawsuit.

I don't see how this is pro Trump. It's an article about how Trump's DOJ did unethical things when prosecuting the people protesting Trump's inauguration.

Puberty blockers don't permanently prevent you from going through puberty, they delay it. You know what is permanent though, puberty.

I think they're giving you shit for using github.

Top notch content. Right up there with his popcorn button on the microwave video.

Cool

If anything I need to rethink how I communicate that I'm not offended by people using social media, but I am offended by hypocrisy. I thought for sure that's what I typed out. I don't care that it came off as rude.

OP absolutely thought so. Their exact words were "Sorry my wanting to have the small amount of human contact I have outside my own family on a daily basis is so offensive to you.".

That's not even what I was implying. I don't care how much someone uses social media. I saw a comment on a social media platform about not using social media and couldn't help but roll my eyes. Then I clicked their profile and saw that they're averaging more than 100 comments a day for almost a year.

Was it flippant? Absolutely. Was it a gotcha moment? Maybe, but only in the sense that I was planning on pointing out the hypocrisy in implying they don't use social media on a social media platform, and instead found the exact kind of social media addict that the article describes

You caught me. I'm biased against people who play Word Cookies.

Didn't say it was offensive. Just pointing out that you are, in fact, using a lot of social media.

The 35k comments in 11 months says otherwise.
