I’m from space!

This looks like one of those ban evasion accounts that are being built up with fake activity.
Mods, watch this, we’ve had a run of this over in Lemmy world videos.


I can relate. Mine basically just became a Destiny 2 box. And that’s only because that’s where I first bought and downloaded the game. I could play that game on a number of platforms.


To be fair, it would’ve helped if they had compelling games worth playing. There was a brief minute when X / S users were feasting, but a lot of the studios MS bought turned into dud factories.


I’ll bet they do this like a phone plan. Bundle the console with GamePass, and give folks a 3 year contract that is broken into a combined monthly payment for the cloud service and a hardware payment plan.
They ain’t lurking. They’re not even logging in.


The data is in there. You just need an OSM client that exposes it. DeFlock, mapcomplete, Mapquest, etc.


And now Mapquest is just adding UI that supports OSM data. A good portion of their roadmap is just vibe coding UI for OSM features that already exist.


This is dope, BUT Mapquest is just a wrapper for OpenStreetMaps, and this is data that you get for free with OSM.
Also, after install, Mapquest immediately asks to start tracking your behavior for targeted marketing shit.
Mapquest probably doesn’t actually give a shit privacy or fighting authoritarians. They just want a cheap and free data set, and the cheapest thing available automatically has LPR data and doesn’t rename bodies of water to “America.”


Might be rolling out. It see it on iOS.


They’re using OpenStreetMaps, and OSM has a DB of all the major LPRs. The filter just pulls in all the surveillance cameras in OSM, and if you click on the camera you see the meta data about the reported camera type.


The ones reported to OpenStreetMap.
Mapquest is basically a wrapper for OpenStreetMaps, so they kind of get this for free.
Also, all of the major flock reporting tools are built on OSM. So basically, if you use Mapquest, you will get data from DeFlock users.


The people in Idiocracy are dumb. The people in power now are cruel and dumb.


This is literally turning into Monday Night Rehabilitation from Idiocracy.
This whole cabinet is like a less funny version of that movie.


So, how do we differentiate now between AI, AGI and ASI?
Are we now going to have
This fucking idiot clearly doesn’t know a thing about out the technology, and he’s going to get a lot of people hurt. All he knows is that AI = money for billionaires.


Which is probably mostly fine in sunny weather. But fuck if FSD hasn’t scared the fuck out of me when you get weather that obstructs cameras.


Remember the Enchantment Under the Sea dance from Back to the Future?
It’s like that, but with more sepsis.


The goal of the study was simply to provide visibility into construction and permitting timelines across the US. There is no standardized federal report, so no one really knows what it’s like to build in 1 one city vs another.
Ideally, once people can see how they’re performing comparatively, then we can dig into what makes a region faster or slower.
This study just lays the groundwork for further inquiry. You can’t diagnose a patient if you don’t have them hooked up to the diagnostic equipment.
(And that said, I’m totally not shocked to see these cities ranking where they are. The worst housing markets are at the top of that list)


I never see any politician run on reforming planning and building departments. Having done a permitted remodel in one of the top cities on that list, I can attest to some of those building departments being a bureaucratic shit show that constantly starts and stops construction.
Some of those construction times are long because construction teams don’t wait around when the building and planning departments block work. They disband, go to another project, and they don’t come back and spin back up at a drop of a hat.
Some people in planning offices are amazing and are there to help you solve problems, stick to the intent of regulations, and keep a project moving. Other people look for petty things and make the perfect the enemy of the good.
These replace manual salmon tellers.
