This post caused me to look up what changed: sadly they aren’t exiting the consumer space but rather are just ceasing to include lane-keeping in their basic package to instead require new customers who want it to pay a monthly subscription fee for what they amusingly call “Full Self Driving (Supervised)”.

is it time for a Windows edition of the classic Jamiroquai sound meme?

It’s ironic you state it like this, since we are an explicitly anarchist server ;)

it’s not really ironic as i am well aware that you are and i appreciate you for that :)

what i’m saying is that i’m glad that, despite obviously being a (fellow!) proponent of freedom of expression, you haven’t fallen victim to the childish line of thought which leads some people to let their spaces become nazi bars. so: thanks!

unmoderated internet spaces are quickly overrun with bigotry, csam, and spam.

if, in the name of “free speech”, you only moderate the csam and spam, the space will be primarily occupied by people looking for a forum that welcomes bigotry.

respect to @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com for rm’ing bigotry and not letting childish anarchist free speech ideals cause lemmy.dbzer0.com to be a nazi bar 🥂

you need to use the echo command if you want to echo something:

alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"

(the inner single-quotes are not strictly required in this case, but recommended nonetheless)

Zionism is, and has always been since the modern movement started in the 19th century, intrinsically antisemitic.

a wifi access point that gets online via a cellular network is called a mobile hotspot, regardless of if it’s running on a phone or a dedicated router device

huh? mobile hotspot is double-bad

I don’t think anyone called those “web apps” though. I sure didn’t.

As I recall, the phrase didn’t enter common usage until the advent of AJAX, which allowed for dynamically loading data without loading or re-loading a whole page. Early webmail sites simply loaded a new page every time you clicked a link. They didn’t even need JavaScript.

The term “web app” hadn’t been coined yet but, even without AJAX I think in retrospect it’s reasonable to call things like the early versions of Hotmail and RocketMail applications - they were functional replacements for a native application, on the web, even though they did require a new page load for every click (or at least every click that required network interaction).

At some point, though, I’m pretty sure that some clicks didn’t require server connections, and those didn’t require another page load (at least if js was enabled): this is what “DHTML” originally meant: using JavaScript to modify the DOM client-side, in the era before sans-page-reload network connections were technically possible.

The term DHTML definitely predates AJAX and the existence of XMLHTTP (later XMLHttpRequest), so it’s also odd that this article writes a lot about the former while not mentioning the latter. (The article actually incorrectly defines DHTML as making possible “websites that could refresh interactive data without the need for a page reload” - that was AJAX, not DHTML.)

Weird this article doesn’t mention Hotmail and RocketMail, which both had email client web apps in 1996.

the suggestion that you should maybe write down an eight digit hex string “in case you need it” is just adding insult to injury. i guess anything less than a 32bit space for error codes would be insufficient

is that jesus?

The “girls FTW” mail in that bluesky post is indeed fake, but the daily beast article linked by this post does not include that one.

It is noteworthy how the existence of a fake thing which can be debunked can cause people to assume that similar-but-real things are also fake 😭

that screenshot is almost^[1] definitely fake; unlike the ones in the dailybeast article, phrases from it do not find anything in the search.
