  • I mean sure, whatever.

    I meant subtitles and I stand by subtitles. But I'll be sure in the future to say 'open captions of the language in the audio stream' so that you don't get offended.

    Understand that it didn't need to be an argument and there wasn't really much of a reason to be defensive.

    I stated something, it got muddied in the context, I clarified within the context of the conversation, and now you are mad. Contextually I would have been wrong before it was very much clarified.

    If your point is about translations, I never made a claim about them, I don't have an opinion one way or the other. I also think it's helpful to understand the community you are in, which is not an anime focused one.

    Additionally I often watch anime with English dubs and subtitles, is that not an equally valid scenario? I understand that colloquially the term can be used to mean translation, but the conversation is broader than niche insider discussion.

    And finally, I really think I made myself very clear after an initial confusion, so I don't really even get what's happening here.

    Edit: also, the conversational word is pretty firmly 'subs'. I would say specifying the whole word actually indicates that it isn't the colloquial usage, but I get that that doesn't really matter.

  • Ai actually does pretty decent on subtitles, there isn't a lot of wiggle room and you don't need need as much creativity.

    Where it shines is in first drafts though, it's much faster to proofread and correct, than to type it out to begin with.

  • Depends on how you define security.

    Is win11 more cryptographically secure, absolutely.

    Does that matter if you don't trust the holder of the keys (the Microsoft keys stored in the tpm) not really.

    implementing a more secure platform doesn't mean much if the only way you are doing it is by handing over control to a third party.

    Would you trust a better lock on your front door if it meant a proven bad actor was the one who could unlock it?

  • I completely disagree.

    You are using the hand brake as an example. 95 percent of people (including you, evidently) don't even understand that the handbrake is not an emergency brake, they don't get how the behavior works, or the fact that it's meant to be used as a parking brake, I consistently see people slam their parking pawls verytime they get out of their car. (Not to mention that it doesn't even work while you are driving on most modern cars and has no modulation, as it's just a button)

    If not being an idiot was good enough to drive a car, then it wouldn't be so deadly. It's also possible to fly a plane with common sense, but you wouldn't be happy if your pilot told you they don't have training.

    Driving isn't easy, it's just that we accept an absolutely catastrophic amount of accidents as a cost of doing business.

  • I find the scariest people on the road to be the arrogant ones that think they make no mistakes.

    I would t consider anyone who hasn't done at least a dozen track days, experienced several different extreme scenarios (over/under steer, looping, wet grass at speed, airtime (or at least one or more wheels off the ground), high speed swerving, snap oversteer, losing systems, like brakes, engine, or the steering wheel lock engaging, etc) to be remotely prepared to handle a car going more than 25 or so mph. An extreme minority of drivers are actually prepared to handle an incoming collision in order to fully mitigate a situation. And that is only covering the mechanical skill of piloting the car, it doesn't even touch in the theoretical and practical knowledge (rules of the road, including obscure and unenforced rules) and it definitely doesn't even broach the discipline that is required to actually put it all together.

    If you a driver has never been trained, or even have an understanding of what will happen in an extreme scenario in a car, how could we consider them trained or sufficiently skilled.

    We don't let pilots fly without spending time in a simulator, going over emergency scenarios and being prepared for when things go sideways. You can't become an airline pilot if you don't know what happens when you lose power.

    We let sub par people drive because restricting it too much would be seen as discrimination, but the overwhelming majority of people are ill equipped to actually drive.

  • I get your sentiment, but I think this is a bit of a straw man.

    Their argument isn't that dealerships are small businesses, but that your position also affects small businesses.

  • The United States operates on what is called a common law system.

    Generally rulings about what can and can't be done are decided with court cases and upheld with precedent.

    This is a fundamental aspect of how the system works, if any one person doesn't believe that laws are being enforced properly or that laws themselves are against the ideology of the country, they have the right and the ability to challenge it.

    It's not really relevant to Elon musk in particular, anyone, including regular people can and have challenged existing case law to change (or create) both federal and state rulings.

  • you already need another way to prove you are a citizen in order to get a passport.

    So you can just use that proof to register to vote, this is already how it works. This proposal literally solves nothing, it would only prevent people from voting who happen to forget the document day of and wouldn't stop anyone who is voting fraudulently anyway ( a birth certificate is significantly easier to forge than a passport and the 95 year old lady with coke bottle classes checking you in at the polls won't know any better anyway)

    Making it harder to get a passport won't mean much unless they also make it harder to register to vote, at which point, you don't need this proposal or to make it more difficult to get the passport.
