  • Biden administration sets 50 miles per gallon fuel economy standard for 2031

  • Yes, but they’d miss out on the long term revenue, which is what everyone is chasing nowadays. There’s be no investors.

    Tbh as a car enthusiast there’s been a few advances I’ve been interested in, but nothing really game changing in the affordable range.

  • Well yes, I don’t have a truck. I have a performance sportscar from the early 2010s instead. They’re all bad past early 2010s tbh.

  • Those are the base models for the most part. I’ve yet to see a new car better than something from 20 years ago

  • Washington man arrested after fatally shooting teen who had BB gun

  • I mean, my high school had at least 1 suicide a year, so it’s not too much of a reach to say that some other event happened resulting in the loss of life.

  • New cars are kinda shitty. They collect a ton of data, don’t let you actually drive, have a million unecessary features built in to try to reduce the stupidity of drivers who should be nowhere near a motor vehicle and are super ugly to boot.

    I do know a lot of people who tow, but I’m in motor racing circles where people are regularly hauling race cars through multiple states every week.

  • Not really. Instagram is for sharing photos to more than just creators. Creators generally don’t interact, like/share, etc other creators content, they just endlessly post their own.

  • There’s no point in reporting this to the police in the US. They literally do not care and will not do anything about it.

  • Because Vero has nobody on it outside of creators. I looked into it as an alternative for my photography and it’s a ghost town outside of creators posting. Nobody is liking/commenting on anything

  • Unfortunately that isn’t really the reality. Apps like Vero have plenty of creators, but no regular users. And since there’s no regular users, it never grows beyond a network of creators trying to make it big.

    Critical mass is almost impossible to overcome for a new platform. Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter all still have exponentially more users than any of their supposed alternatives, and no matter how they treat their users the vast majority of them have no problems staying.

  • Not only does nobody care, but they prefer centralized services. Tbh I still prefer centralized services and Lemmy is the only federated anything I use, because the others don’t do anything better than their alternatives.

  • Windows updating just before thesis defense

    Jump

  • The average user does not want to see that and does not need to see that. That’s how you end up with thousands of support requests of “why is my computer showing these errors?”

    Things should be abstracted from the users by default. There’s no need for grandma to see a console output every time windows needs to update.

  • This definitely doesn’t happen to everyone. I’ve never once had this happen and I’ve kept my windows up to date.

  • Still no good if you play about 70% of games with an anticheat. Outside of that it’s fine if you’re willing to put up with general Linux issues

  • A WWII Propaganda Campaign Popularized the Myth That Carrots Help You See in the Dark

  • Like half of war propaganda can be reduced to this.

    Next time the IS is at war all the tiktok girlies are going to be an invaluable asset

  • Ordered back to the office, top tech talent left instead, study finds

    Jump

  • Gonna be honest, I prefer to be in an office over WFH, despite WFH technically having “advantages”.

    Home is an awful environment to work in. I get less done, worse quality and in general dislike it more. While that’s technically a personal problem, it’s not fair to say no one would voluntarily work in an office 5 days a week. I do, and know multiple other people who do as well.

    WFH when you’re just starting your career sucks. Both my internships and start of my FT jobs were WFH, and it made it near impossible to learn to work with a team, get information from senior developers, get IT help if there was hardware issues and a ton of other minor things that aren’t a problem for someone who had been working at the company prior to going 100% remote, but are huge sticking points for new hires.

  • After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year

    Jump

  • Seriously. They had a completely open market, then essentially signed a perpetual deal where something like 40% of gross income is paid out to the labels. It’s absolutely insane how poorly run they were in the beginning.

    If they had become a publisher, distributor and/or a label, they’d be on top of the world now.

  • Spotify negotiated shit deals when they were a startup and they’ll basically forever be not profitable because of it.
