More like scolding all the holdouts who somehow expect that X will miraculously 'get better,' when all we see is Musk being a racist CT-addled idiot. But then again, I bailed on Twitter the day he bought it.

All that said, I would want any V2X system on my ride to transmit data that was encrypted, anonymized, and otherwise scrubbed of irrelevant data. It can say where I am, and what I am doing, but origin, destination, and route should NOT be shared. We don't need that data to drive in traffic now. /f

The point is to make sure that the other vehicles are set up / trained to recognize motorcycles, as well as accurately determine position, speed, and direction. Humans routinely 'forget we're there' or misjudge speed or distance (SMIDSY) and thus make for hazardous riding. /2

As a motorcycle rider, my biggest obstacle and risk on the road is other traffic. And while there have been setbacks (three cases of Teslas on autonomous-drive mode striking motorcycles from behind in dark conditions and clear straight roads) I trust autonomous systems to see that I am there. /1

Apples in potato salad = delicious. Also good in tuna salad, too.

Here's a thought: Abandon the platform. If all those people 'dependent' on X/Twitter moved to Bluesky or Threads or Mastodon, they'd find they had all of what they needed with Bluesky, Threads, or Mastodon. But they won't move, because they don't think the others will move.

Why is it that people are bound and determined to define what is or is not 'manly'? (Most of them are a really far reach too.) My thought? "Who cares?" My wife thinks I'm man enough for her needs, that's what counts in MY life.

The "Deleted" post was about how AI is 'revolutionizing' coding... despite having only a 48% efficacy rate. YES, AI can help you write code to accomplish a given task using a given language. However, you should not trust what it gives you - walk through it, debug it thoroughly, and comment it up.

Thanks to a great guy that goes by Biker Dad for putting this video together. I'm a part of the Central NY Ride For Kids in Utica NY that helps kids with brain tumors. To see what we do, head over to the 17:20 mark. #motorcycles#endchildhoodcancerwww.youtube.com/watch?v=8O5K...
