And why do you think those improvements happen?

Is it (a) unchecked capitalism or (b) regulations?

Oooh, solid smug

It doesn't sound like you've driven in a city before. Half a mile is 3 stop lights and 5 stop signs ahead.

Hrm, my Plex experience (which made me jellyfin) was that it would reliably shit the bed every few watching sessions, usually just hanging mid video and making me reset the cast. I'll agree the subs are for shit tho, plenty that get rendered below the border, and the app is slow...but once I start playing a show it works so I was content. Maybe worth rechecking Plex.

Very supportive considering you described her as incompetent, but fair is fair

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 16 hours ago

Only if you're a bad driver yourself.

Different definitions of worse. Texas is basically one giant DUI, so... Yeah, worse. But also when sober they'll drive circles around the average California driver.

They are also terrible at parking, and many will go further than the "California stop" (a provincial term describing "we built way too many stop signs and would get 8 mpg if we actually stopped at them") and just blatantly ignore stop signs entirely regardless of traffic. And that's the relatively stable car drivers... Motor- and human-powered cyclists are seemingly suicidal.

Tell you what, show that post to your girlfriend and see what she says. If she's chill I'll take it back.

Yep. Obvs there's a lot more than goes into a car than just the UI but...I don't trust user experience engineers. Some of them gave us the Mac os. Other gave us windows 11. Others gave us gnome. None of them should be allowed near the UI for a 2-ton metal brick on wheels. "But what if we compressed all of the icons in one to get a 'clean' design and then had a 2 second fly-out animation to show you what they all are"

Can confirm this is not the case. I'm 100% confident there is a decel that will trigger the lights, I'm also 100% sure it's not "normal car coasting" decel.
