  • I disagree, but I don’t know why. Intuitively it doesn’t feel like this is a bad thing. The people that “get it” will be introduced to something that they like and will go down the good path. The people that don’t get it, won’t. Just like they weren’t before. Net profit: we turned some people towards the light. 🤷‍♂️ I see it as a win.

    We don’t have to use the same method on all people either. This might work for some, but not all, surely.

    I don’t really understand the enshittification spreading part of your argument. Curious to know more about what you meant by that.


  • I saw Speed Racer after someone recommended it here on Lemmy. They said it was the best movie ever.

    I thought it freaking sucked ass. Took me like five attempts to finish it. I got bored and watched something else 4 times before I could finish it.

    It was so weird. The plot was just much too basic. Old story, told a thousand times, predictable and boring af. Special effects were (intentionally) poor and too zoomed in and shaky.

    They made everything in focus, nothing was out of focus. I think this was a choice of the Wachowskis’, but it made for some weird-looking things sometimes.

    All the racing was too busy, with camera switches that were much too frequent. Gave me a headache. And I’m used to watching quick switching content. There was just too much color and nothing on focus and too quick. It was a bold choice but it backfired in my opinion.

    My two cents, I’m ready for the down votes. 😅



  • get distracted and exceed the speed limit by 1-2 km

    Your cameras give you a fine if you exceed by even 1 km/h? That’s insane. In my country it’s about 6 km/h or so above the limit where you get a fine. Every car is different so the speedometer might not show the exact speed right on the needle, and they know that speeds can vary slightly. You could also be right in the middle of slowing down, which won’t be noticeable in the instant of the measurement, so they add this margin of error of about 6 km/h.

    I guess it’s harder too if you don’t have automatic speed control on the car. 🤷‍♂️ If the cameras and fines are this sensitive and you only have manual speed control (gas and break), and new cameras keep popping up all the time, I can definitely understand that you would want alerts of when there are speed cameras.

    My car alerts me automatically so that’s also am advantage I guess.
