Man that is really selling it. I lived in a car and it was my house. I will meet you in the middle there. But a tent is not a home. Even by my liberal standards of calling a vehicle a home.

I think the best term that has the most impact is Sleeping Rough Outdoors. You read that and it does not matter what side you are one, you now how the person is living and it describes the plight that many homeless face when just needing to get some rest.

The concept you are describing is a "homebum" which describes a person who sticks to one area. This is different than a "hobo" who keeps moving and is not as much a nuisance of homeless. A "rubber tramp" is a homeless person who lives in a vehicle.

While his work is inspirational it is really not moving the needle on solving this problem. He is a tinkerer, wish he would put his idea's into motion to produce his designs like the dude making the wheelchairs in Utah.

Looks too nice for a stealth shelter. Make it look like a dumpster and nobody will be complaining.

Blame the homeless for this win. Seeing the outcome so blatantly all around us is pushing a net positive. Next big shift will be from the legalization of more recreational drugs.

That is what happened to the local feed for the city I live in. Their mapping data was trash. I went through fixed the GPS, found the typical focalized center of frame, built a basic frontend, and then they shut it all down.

I found the dude that ran it and emailed back and forth with him for a few years. They made excuses about how it is an IT issue.

All the comments here are so short sighted about how the fediverse functions. Instead of one big app doing all the aggregatation by interests the fediverse is naturally divided by what makes that group cohesive.

You do not need the algorithm when each users feed is being pumped by what has been siloed within that fediverse.

Just let the platforms show their ad's. That is how I quit. See and ad then close the tab. Went from hours on YouTube to minutes.

Why is everyone complaining on the price tag? It is a product that someone made for profit just like everyone else here is trying to do.

Tensor chips are not open enough for an optimized mobile LLM to be ran on them.

I have found that using toilet paper to remove the initial debris, then using the bidet, then drying with a new piece of toilet paper is the only way to consistently feel more clean.

No. You need some motion smoothing for that too look good. At 3MP it does not have enough CCD to stablize and transcode into smooth pics.
