Is the joke that elephants are afraid of mice?

I don't get it

I agree with this sentiment but I don't see it actually convincing anyone of the dangers of AI. It reminds me a lot of how teachers said that calculators won't always be available and we need to learn how to do mental math. That didn't convince anyone then

Maybe I'm eating and would rather keep my hands free. Or doing anything where'd I'd like to keep my hands free

I'm one of those people ... I always thought, if it's reasonable to have a conversation with someone physically there, at a reasonable talking volume, why does it matter if I'm doing the same on my phone?

Obviously if it's obnoxiously loud that's a different story

Definitely this one. Simple design and the fine point is so smooth to write with

You can reinstall a driver without ever touching the command line on windows.

Can you do that with Linux? Idk maybe on some distros but the default would just be to uninstall the package from terminal.

Pretending these are equivalent is not cool and it just drives new users away for not understanding things the community takes for granted. It takes effort to learn the terminal if even tech-savvy windows users may not even use the command line

This is bad for the health of lemmy though, I think. A discussion board/framework should be politically neutral, while still employing rules on hate speech based on the voice of the masses.

If you want to talk hate speech, I've seen numerous accounts on lemmy instances of people advocating for murder or other violence against "billionaires" or anyone with a significant wealth. Or same with right-wing ideals, I've seen users advocating similar broad calls for violence based on pretty poor assumptions against the entire right-wing USA block.

I mean that may be "the truth", but it is purposely not "the whole truth". Which is a violation of the oath. The only way jury nullification is allowed is if a jury independently decides not to convict, because then jury is unbiased in deciding that the law is wrong or shouldn't apply.

Again, if you are selected for jury duty, and you already have decided you will ignore the law to avoid convicting the criminal, then there is no way you can make it past the selection without lying to the court.

Just to be clear, one of the standard questions to ask a potential jury is "you must be able to render a verdict solely on the evidence presented at the trial and in the context of the law as I will give it to you in my instructions, disregarding any other ideas, notions, or beliefs about the law. Are you able to do this?"

If you know about jury nullification, with the intent of using it, then you need to lie under oath to get past this question.

The question was taken from the New Mexico US courts

I previously had a truck, but had to get rid of it once it started having some engine issues. I lived in the city, so I figured I could make do with a sedan.

Boy do I miss my truck. I never really realized how much I needed it in big-city,USA, but it sure is apparent now. Plenty of times I need to haul something for work, or sometimes pop a curb to set up some tabling stuff, or even just hauling my bike for hitting some trails. My next car is probably going to truck, hopefully something small that is fuel efficient and easy to park. I just don't want to give up having the convenience of a bed that can haul heavy, messy stuff, it's too convenient for me
