agreed, but when the bar is set by vehicle UIs, that sort of becomes the reference point rather than what is logical
T9 texting with one hand without looking at the phone is less dangerous than using a modern vehicle’s touchscreen climate controls

Technology@lemmy.world•You may notice this the next time you're at a McDonald's drive-thruEnglish
9·30 days agowhy on earth would I be at an american-owned fast food chain that is renowned for serving overpriced crap out together by somebody who couldn’t give a half a fuck about the burger being even moderately presentable?
oh, and the drive thru? I haven’t been in one of those in years. I’ll walk inside, thanks, then bitch about how they’re prioritizing drive thru customers over the one person literally standing in front of them

0·1 month agomy '08 (that a bought a '12 to replace) is a rusty pos that needs a lot of high-mileage maintenance and regular maintenance (rusty af everything, gas tank is gonna start leaking soon, pretty much the entire suspension is shot, power steering starting to leak, some sort of engine issues that I’m not sure what exactly is causing it, rusty exhaust headers causing some of the engine issues), but since I can’t get any money for it, I’m not sure when exactly I’m going to get rid of it. might as well keep it around until I know for sure I don’t want to fix it

Technology@lemmy.world•McDonald's is reportedly using AI to "dynamically" price its burgersEnglish
2·1 month agothere was ONE McDonald’s that I used to still go to on road trips.
then the US threatened to take over my country, so ofc I stopped going to McDonald’s. I tried to make an exception for it last year because I had to pee and I figured it would be the one place actually open at 1am for me to pee and get a coffee, but nope, closed. guess they want people to piss in the drive thru
McDonald’s doesn’t even offer washrooms anymore, they have literally nothing to offer me

0·1 month agowhy is it dumb to tax EVs for mileage? aren’t ICs taxed similarly through fuel tax?

1·7 months agosorry I should have added the alternative option of “is ignorant of the fact and should be expected to be able to figure that out”
if somebody won’t think of how their actions affect others, fuck them.

I have no sympathy for them. their victims, yes. the owner, not at all.

it’s an unpleasant ethical question
where is the line for what is acceptable for the greater good? how many others would you let die to save one child?
when only one side plays by stricter morals, the game is unfair
