Isn’t the used car market much bigger than the new car market? Afaik in Germany the biggest part of new cars is sold to companies that give it to their employees and after a couple of years they sell it and that’s when most other people would buy that car - I think it’s time for countries to incentivize early adopters to sell their electric vehicle for a newer model and create that kind of used car market.

Not sure how it works in the us but here the group of people actually buying fabric new cars is rather small compared to the amount of cars in circulation and the trick is getting them to sell their car every couple of years

China is not a country that gives subsidies but a corporation that invests in branches it wants to grow

I’d imagine the situation is more dire to those filmmakers and journalists that do narration as a job

Why would you need them if you can just use the voice of an AI impersonating famous speakers like this

Monopolistic companies exploiting that monopoly to ensure it stays like that? Impossible!

I guess it depends on what pedophilia is in the end of how it’s developed.

If it’s more like a sexual preference then it’s probably there already when someone is born and not changeable, but if it’s more like a fetish then those are (afaik) related to experiences and exposures while growing up and actually can change and develop over time - and in that case it could be really dangerous to have that kind of material floating around freely.

Lol - how.obvious do they want their cashgrab to be? It’s as if they don’t even want to sell the low-spec version and just want people to feel better about the pro

That’s why we now get a new fancy cryptocurrency

Also read that Microsoft is holding the trademark on ‘X’ because of DirectX, X-Box, etc…

I wonder how long until Elon pulls the “it’s just a joke bro”

But you won’t save more tax with this that you lost money with it?

How would this ever make sense especially given that inflation is a thing?

Some feature which I absolutely need which for some reason is not part of most task apps is to repeat tasks based on the completion date instead of the start date.

Dumb example: If I have a task to water my plants every week and I do it after 4 days already then the next due date is in 10 days instead of the 7 I’d want

Yeah - stuff like this should REALLY be public infrastructure

I know a lot of people are opposed to the state running things but I really wouldn’t mind if there was a well-managed state-run federated instance for all of this

at least with Matrix Europe is already doing something like this since it’s the de-facto-standard for a lot of the internal chats - but there really needs to be a push to make it more popular.

Having the kind of “lock-in” that Meta has where their userbase alone is an argument of using their service is horrible since it makes every competition futile…
