The political capital required for such an agenda is immense.
I don’t think you realize the level of Stockholm syndrome created by cars. When you spend more than 50k on a car, of course you don’t want the government to ban it or make it harder for you to justify your purchase.
Better products? What about geopolitical interests? If China doesn’t need oil then they don’t have to care if the strait of Hormuz is open or closed.
It’s a nice added benefit that they are better for the air, quieter and have more cargo space.
The Neo yellow color is awful. The 5C colors were fun because the plastic material made them look good.
You and I both know people, politicians, journalists would just move to Threads before they move to the fedi or Bluesky or any FOSS alternative.
They want an algorithm.
Flock in a few months: “introducing a license plate reader that doesn’t need to see the license plate. The magnet leaf you got on Amazon to get through red light cameras won’t be enough to fool our dystopian surveillance system anymore”
The amount of money that transited through “prediction markets” (I.e gambling platforms) is baffling.
522 million USD, with 25 million worth of bets placed on today, and that’s just one single prediction on one single site.
I can only imagine the Epstein class is making so much money off of these platforms since they literally control the news, meaning the outcome of each bet.
Only if it comes from the genocide region of France
I’d be more in favor of sending them to their favorite place on earth: Epstein’s island. No supplies, no running water, no help. Just a webcam and maybe a drone once in a while.
And your mother’s maiden name
Deport the sofa back to Sweden!
Sysadmin of a flash drive in some diplomat’s drawer?! I’ll take your money to be your sysadmin then.
Well if I’m left with no option but to go to the counter at the post office it’s precisely because I have no idea how to do what I want with online resources.
E.g. post a flat cardboard package containing art that I made myself to a foreign country. The envelope sizes they sell at USPS stores don’t match the rates they post on their website. Often, the clerk can help a little bit with filling the customs form. The website says that you need a license to export art to foreign countries, the clerk doesn’t.
Stop blaming other people, start blaming the system: we need more clerks, better payed and better trained clerks.
iPhone users: Hold power and either volume up or down button for two seconds It will lock and ask for your pin, regardless if you shut down the phone or not.
Learn how to do it quickly and blindly, with your phone in your pocket.
Skyrim’s NPCs sound and act like they’ve been lobotomised
So they’re going for a Danish accent I see

Bobby Tables grew up and bought a car?!
If you look at it upside down it’s the Duolingo bird going !?
So what are we gonna do? Accept the fait accompli? Yeah, with that attitude, nothing is gonna change for sure.
Well, I’m not AI, but can you trust my word?
There is a tech tree, you unlock recipes by crafting newer machines or picking up new ingredients. It’s not random and it does make sense
It’s a type of game very similar to Dwarf Fortress: losing is fun. You need to die many times to learn how to manage survival. Learning basic recipes by heart, efficient cooking recipes, threats for a specific time of year etc.
I agree that it’s very punishing. I never made it past winter.
