Snap is arguably the better sandbox. The bigger issue with Snap is that only Canonical (the company that owns Ubuntu) has the code for the Snap store, so it’s a closed ecosystem and there are no alternative stores, so the minute they enshittify it’s garbage. Flathub is the most popular flatpak repo but the code for a flatpak repo is open source, there are alternative options and will be in the future.

51·3 months agoPersonally, I want cars that automate driving to use more than one type of sensor so that they react more realistically in more circumstances. Tesla going camera-only was a mistake and Elon just keeps doubling down on it.

Anime@lemmy.ml•Why do 1st episodes often end with the season's OP?English
13·3 months agoThis is a relatively recent trend, and it tends to be for anime where the premise isn’t obvious before you watch it. In other words, it’s typically to avoid spoilers. See, for example, Oshi No Ko, which bundled its first 3 episodes together and saved the OP reveal for the end in order to set up its premise.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It’s going to be an interesting day when an EV wins a Nascar race.
6·4 months agoThe course is not the point, it’s a question of how on earth you edge out an advantage against 36+ other drivers in virtually identical cars who are also trying to out plan and out drive you.
I’m not even a NASCAR fan, but this criticism is dumb, sorry.

5·4 months agoDo you think NASCAR drivers aren’t thinking? I mean really, this is like saying football is pointless because the field is rectangular and each team is always going towards the opposite team’s side to score points.
Because the course is boring and the cars are the same, it’s 100% a question of skill and teamwork. Who can outplay whom?
Anyhow I don’t especially like watching it, not a motorsports guy in general, but this criticism is not terribly good IMO.

2·4 months agoAre still significantly slower than NASCAR pit stops, and even if you could get them that fast, you’d also need to make the pit stops more frequently because you’d run out of charge faster than wearing down your tires at those speeds.

3·4 months agoI really like the design of the Dodge Charger EV, but the super loud speaker blasting fake engine sounds is dumb (yeah I know you can turn it off, but ew) and the thing is notoriously unreliable.
Anyhow yeah, my Kona EV looks like a non-EV Kona. People mostly only notice that cars are electric when they’re a wacky design or charging in public.

I can confirm this summary is correct. It’s why we sample audio at at least 44.1KHz even though human hearing only goes up to 20KHz
