Not only does that not have anything to do with the topic at hand, but I’m also much more worried about the very real hostile take over of a nation than some people’s fucking street lights.

YouTube makes 8 billion per quarter selling ads. I think they will be able to eat tonight.

Appreciate you finding the one thing I wanted to know from the article.

Just a bit of light invasion.

Don’t have TikTok, and despise that short form has taken over YouTube. It should be a separate app/space/whatever.

I still interact with TikTok links family and friends send me, and I fucking despise that. Close the “use the app” overlay, punch in the “I’m not a robot” code, turn on the volume (since when is muted the default video state, outside of porn?), and then loathe the fact that I just missed 60 percent of a glorified gif that I can’t rewind, and won’t repeat without pushing the app on me.

Nope, I’ve seen enough of their business practices and intent just from that interaction. It leaves me with no desire to sign up.

I’m 6’5". Figuring out how to see the gauges through the steering wheel.

This is such a low effort answer that does not even begin to consider the complexity of people’s lives.

This is why I chose Mazda. No touch screen at all, just a display for Android auto.

For anyone who needs a reminder, his name is not Ted. We should honor his wishes and stop calling him by his preferred name.

Sure, but at the end of the day, does it really matter? It’s like made up numbers that never run out. He’s still set for life, no real consequence. He feels this less than someone who misses a car payment one month.

Plenty of cars out there running more power than that. Why do we need it? We don’t. The same could be said for most power levels in any modern car. Why do we want it? Because it’s fucking awesome.

No VR support at launch. That’s a shame.

Right on.

Actually, yes…when you leave a lot with what you bought, you did, indeed, pay for it.

Their shitty business practices to exploit consumers are designed to favor their decisions as a net gain. And usually, it is a safe bet. An easy win. Hell, even in this case it still will be. Last I checked, they were turning a profit.

When the consumer finds a win, it’s not “getting something for free.”. It’s a small victory for the consumer on a bad business decision by the company. The companies sure use a lot more loopholes than the consumer to squeeze a buck out of everyone. They assumed they would make money giving things away as a deceptive practice. Most times they win. This time, it didn’t work out for them. Oh well. Free market and all. I’ll not be losing any sleep over it tonight.

Doing things I want to do. I already have one job, and damn sure don’t want another. Fuck them bills lol.

Why did I create a Lemmy world account as opposed to beehaw or ml? Because it’s the first one I saw. Because it doesn’t matter. Because I don’t know what ml stands for. Because Lenny world said “general use.” Because I didn’t have to fill out an application. Because I can still interact with everything else, and again, it doesn’t matter.
