MA. Tickets have “I’d like to pay” or “I’d like a hearing”. No mention of guilt.
Hearings are civil, not criminal, and you represent yourself in front of a magistrate (baby judge). If you tried to represent yourself in a criminal case, the judge would give you a very hard time about that choice. Either way, you don’t call witnesses, there’s no cross examination, and no discovery.
I don’t get where people are going full Law&Order, demanding to see their accuser.
The (Australian) law actually says you can’t have your phone out (face up/down doesn’t matter). And I think the law is consistent with other common sense traffic safety:
Phone use has been shown to be equivalent (or in some cases, far worse) to driving over the BAC limit.
Or more concisely: the government should never contract out law enforcement to private companies.
Have you ever fought a traffic ticket? You’re not on trial. You’re not pleading guilty/not-guilty. It’s an administrative/civil thing.

OP might not be the best example but I have a growing appreciation of holding your temper in check. Self censorship is some acknowledgement that you’re watching a little bit of what you’re saying.
At the same time though, fuck Trump.
I’ve sometimes thought that WW2 flak cannons (~artillery) with a programmable fuse (set immediately before “launch” by radar) could be effective. You would get longer range than C-RAM or laser and artillery shells are cheap. Shahed/Gerans are not particularly fast or durable. It wouldn’t take much to make it fall out of the sky: close enough is good enough.
Again, this particular DIY radar has no application in Ukraine. It does not have a 50+km range (10km). It can not direct or interface with an interceptor missile, of any kind, to shoot down TBMs, Shaheds, etc. The critical issue really is how many interceptor missiles Ukraine has and far less about janky early-warning radar coverage.
Acoustics are used for FPVs, which have a tiny radar cross section and can fly at tree top altitude or lower. A basic/crude DIY radar would not be effective there and at $12,000 vs $Free, acoustics win hands down for FPVs. The Gepards (AA gun) have their own onboard radar already for cruise missiles/shaheds. No one is proposing or expecting acoustics to track missiles or bombs. These are two very different problems.
The Russian Navy stays way, way the hell away from the Ukraine coast these days. The drone-boat bombs have them running scared. Even Sevastopol in Crimea is too risky.
This doesn’t have any practical application in Ukraine.
Ukraine detects FPV drones with numerous distributed and networked microphone/acoustic sensors. You’re not going to get any cheaper than a used phone paired with a $2 USB solar panel.
The larger Shahed/Geran and above stuff isn’t limited by radar detection. What they need are cheap interceptors to deal with swarm attacks.
Instead of a convertible, we get a lame attempt at a metaverse and VR goggles?
Yeah, I hear ya. I can’t watch Jon, Colbert, or any comedian really because it’s all too depressing. Before, you had this naive assumption that it’ll get fixed eventually. The “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice”, blah blah blah. I don’t know if Dr King knew just how long he was talking about.
Since this is Lemmy, I can’t tell if you’re talking Meta/X or EFF and Jon…
Is there a tap to pay system that works on custom ROMs? I thought those really required SafetyNet/PlayIntegrity/Whatever-it-is-now.
I would rather not give up tap to pay but I will if I have to. It seems like trying to Magisk my way into getting Google Wallet to work would be a PITA.
3D printers are even less useful here though. The rocket bit can be replaced with a cardboard tube and some balsa fins. The important parts are the active control and circuitry.
But I guess logic doesn’t really enter into the conversation anyway.
Well, since you asked… I’m waiting for guile-emacs to make a breakout like neovim did.
I don’t see how web 1.0 style sites are resistant to AI or bots. It’s kind of the opposite. Bots/AI are really good at pure text stuff.
You might be thinking of the original OpenID system. Instead of the OAuth2 thing we have now with OIDC (e.g. “Login with Google”), OpenID Connect didn’t require the site to be configured in advance with the auth provider. You just gave it your email address and off you went.
OIDC is generally superior security-wise but it’s held back by each site to establish a relationship with the upstream site.
Old fashioned forums are old fashioned. Circular logic but there’s a lot holding them back.
Self-hosted Planka. I use it for personal boards and it’s plenty for me. Integrates with Authentik/SSO too.
More than anything, it depends on the developer using it. In my experience, most are just slop shovelers that don’t read or review what Claude does. Then it falls on the PR reviewer (me) to be an asshole: Did you review your own code? Do you understand what this part over here does? Why did you choose this method versus alternatives?
Unless you tell Claude/Opus otherwise, it’s not going to take the initiative to refactor things, tidy up parts it didn’t touch, or hell, it won’t even spellcheck things. Can you really call it a language model if it outputs misspelled words? Its unit tests are great boilerplate but never comprehensive enough for me.
Claude is the developer that puts zero pride or effort in their work beyond the bare minimum to not get fired.
