Patents. Its always patents.

There is probably some IP there that can make printers worse for consumers too.

The modern interpretation, sure.

And agreed, "random, you might like this" is not as random as "here is a page on red food colouring"

That's why I said seeded. Seeded from noise. The random number generator (function) is still an algorithm..

In comsci, there are no real random numbers. They are all seeded psuedo-random number algorithms. (Unless you integrate with some third party random as a service setup)

Dont worry, lemmings worry about some shutdown every other week. Been here since the API closures, and its quite nice (if you block the news communities)

As a person who regularly cycles through Amsterdam (even the centre), the issus is tourist pedestrians. The city does a bare minimum to cater for these travellers, because most of the visits are temporal.

As a cyclist and/or pedestrian, I am never frustrated by locals cycling or walking.

The rule is "its harder for a cyclist to stop than a pedestrian, so be predictable with where you are going and we'll all avoid an accident".

The flow people you walk about is a problem for travellers, not for locals.

Yo, are you okay?

Hey Bud. You okay?

This reads like you're feeling defeated. It's okay to have hope that the world can get better, even if it feels like the dark days.

But if it was a 20 year old man with a 15 year old girl, would you still not mind?

Who you vote for does not imply who you are in bed with. Unless you like sewing discourse

Thanks for voting! I didn't see it in your OP, and I dont keep track of what Lemmy users say across posts.

Im not a centerist. However there is a time and a place with everything in life. November 6th I'm ready to start promoting a new voting system and changing whats causing this mess.

Vote this election then. And then campaign after the election. What's stopping you from being the change later? Why teach the a lesson now, when the alternative is Drumpf?
