How is it a distration, when in fact, it's the opposite - it catches the attention of the driver going behind, they look at it, they can't miss it, and they keep the distance...

The Swarm, imho, is mind-blowing!

I can't wait for the future!

I agree. This looks terrible.

On a somewhat similar note, I hate how lots of cars in America don't have amber turn signals because the NHTSA doesn't require them.

They can be Amber or White, right? But yeah, I don't like it when people have white since it doesn't catch your eye as much.

When I was in high school, I put blue turn signals in my car. Yeah, that lasted about 2 days before I got reamed out by the 5-0. :pinch:

Because some crazy design doesn't indicate they are stopping. There's nothing better about it than a red light that gets brighter when the brake is pressed. Maybe if the car had rear sensors, it could detect if a car was coming up too fast and starting blinking furiously, but that doesn't need OLEDs and some flashy design. Braking is a simple concept and anything fancy, which stands out, is just a distraction.

Okay, then I still don't understand what he was getting at. Having designs in your brake lights would probably cause more rear-end accidents since it would be a distraction.

If you're distracted by the "tail lights" of the car "in front of you" and you rear end them, you probably don't need to be on the road. That's the whole point of this lighting system. To get the attention of the person behind you.

No they can be amber or red, so most manufacturers just use the brake light as turn indicators.

Everywhere else turn signals have to be amber.

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues by David Uzondu Euro-Office is a web-based collaborative office suite that positions itself as a "European sovereign alternative" to American tech companies, backed by a coalition of developers including Nextcloud, IONOS, Abilian, BTactic, OpenProject, and, more recently, Tuta. The project officially went live a couple of days ago, but not before drawing heavy fire from LibreOffice developers, who called the marketing claim that Euro-Office represents the "first open-source office suite developed in Europe" a deceptive historical inaccuracy because projects like OpenOffice and LibreOffice existed decades earlier. Now that the project has launched, LibreOffice is back with another complaint, arguing that Euro-Office cannot consider itself "genuinely European" while it pushes proprietary Microsoft defaults on users. Euro-Office had promised to improve the OpenDocument Format (ODF) back in April, but the current release still plagues users with several technical failures. For instance, the suite lacks an admin setting to enforce ODF, and mobile editors completely block ODF saves, forcing files into Microsoft's OOXML formats. Some configurations force files into read-only mode, while editing frequently corrupts document formatting or erases data. LibreOffice thinks that merely supporting a format as an afterthought does not make you a sovereign alternative, as file formats are the battleground where" digital sovereignty is won or lost." The road to the first stable release of Euro-Office has been quite bumpy due to an aggressive public fallout with OnlyOffice, from which the coalition originally forked the project. OnlyOffice struck back by accusing the coalition of violating copyright terms under its AGPLv3 branding requirements by stripping the original branding anyway and forking the code. Getting Euro-Office up and running is a bit wonky (at least for non-technical users), as there is no direct installer to grab off the web. The easiest way we learnt is by using Docker. First, pull the official Euro-Office image from the GitHub Container Registry: docker pull ghcr.io/euro-office/documentserver:latest Then, run the container with active ports and a secure JWT token, enabling the test environment: docker run -i -t -d -p 8080:80 --restart=always -e EXAMPLE_ENABLED=true -e JWT_SECRET=my_secure_jwt_secret ghcr.io/euro-office/documentserver:latest And finally, open a web browser and go to the following address: http://localhost:8080 If you are running this on a remote server, replace localhost with your server's IP address. You will see the Euro-Office test page, where you can create new text documents, spreadsheets, or presentations directly in the browser. Image via Euro-Office Nextcloud promises that proper standalone desktop versions and mobile apps will arrive in a future release.
