It is a joke, lol
This guy makes these terrible concepts for apps and stuff:
Not gona lie, I do like the speed limit leaderboard. Though I would see people trying to get the "high score" on something like this.
This was a huge issue with the automated speed signs around where I live. They had to take them down because of it and reprogram them to stop showing the speed and instead flash the speed limit when people were speeding.
“Go for the high score” is definitely a thought that crosses my mind every time I see one of those speed radar things the police sometimes put on the side of the road that flashes your speed at you. Kinda feel like those things actually encourage unsafe driving because of people like me with impulse control issues.
I like when it just flashes two lines at me. For context I'm surrounded by these where nobody has been working for months. I always look ahead to see if anyone is actually working before I blow through them.
There really needs to be some accountability for turning off the "55 while flashing" lights because so many of those still going off clearly are not supposed to be.
Those with impulse control issues that would cause them to drive recklessly "for the memes" shouldn't have a license
Are you always this fun when someone says something facetious around you? Go pop a Prozac. They worked wonders for me.
Do you take things a bit too seriously on the Internet sometimes? Do drugs!
Great stance you have on mental illness there.
Oh sorry, that was a parody of your comment about popping prozac. I'm not telling you to go do drugs
Nobody beats my high scores. Nobody.
E: actually, some trivia. You have seen those "your speed" signs with an led readout? Now I can't say how I know this, but - at least on some variants, models, etc - there is an upper limit/safety check. "if user's speed variable is higher than X, turn off the sign, it's malfunctioning" logic. So, just for a hypothetical situation, the assigned speed limit is 25mph but you go through at, I don't know, let's pick a number that is absolutely not what I tested, and say 60. The readout will reach that number as the user accelerates towards it, hit the upper limit, immediately shutoff, and will (afaik) need to be reset manually. Returning hours later reveals a dead readout. Returning a couple days later, oh hey it's back.
So we already have this, but it'd be nice to get scores higher than like ~40 over. And history, sharing...
Does Lemmy have a “hostile UI” community?
I mean, it's a joke, but many of his ideas are also libertarian wet dreams
