Only the backup camera will show them. Our idiotic cars would be even more idiotic without them.

There's actually been some moves towards requiring cars to have front-facing cameras so that the driver can see what is in front of the car: https://usa.streetsblog.org/2022/08/17/senator-calls-on-feds-to-mandate-frontover-cameras-on-huge-cars-but-it-wont-save-enough-lives More and more kids die every year as their parents run them over because you can't see what's in front of your giant SUV as you drive.

about a month ago I was at the store and a woman was driving a truck so massive she couldn’t even reach the bed to put groceries in. she was parked next to the cart return and was standing on it to reach the bed

My car’s rear end can detect other cars and it is fantastic.

I don't get this "slow launch time" as a talking point. Like I launch my browser once a week maybe, and on a machine that is about 4 years old it takes like a second and a half. It's not a metric I could see anyone caring about.

yeah like 10 years ago chrome ran faster and used less ram, but over the years it has mysteriously gotten slower and more bloated, almost as if delivering optimum performance is not the project's main goal.

what's entirely new is chrome killing their adblockers, so even if it had a speed advantage it sure as gently caress doesn't now

Hmm...maybe the problem is that a single company controls so much of the web's modern architecture, including how a lot of people access the internet through their browser. No; it's Firefox that's wrong!

He sat there for two or three minutes waiting for me to pull out, then he drove off to find another spot rather than shuffle over a bit. Lol

From some statistics I've seen, give or take 40% of internet users are adblocking at some level at this point. How much of that is default settings on modern browsers and how much is extensions only browser makers will really know, but Google's right to be nervous. They could very easily kick off Browser Wars III the Browsening by shooting themselves in the foot this way.

He sat there for two or three minutes waiting for me to pull out, then he drove off to find another spot rather than shuffle over a bit. Lol I went to Walmart today and parked my 99 Camry in a spot and got momentarily confused because I had like 4 feet extra spaceto one side. I thought a moment I had pulled in incorrectly then realized my car (not even a small one!) was just way smaller than parking sized for modern ultrabig vehicles. Sadly their crumple zones will keep them super safe in accidents and I will simply get crushed Willa Rogers posted:
