Welcome to the United States, where consumers built the internet infrastructure that monopolies profit from and fight tooth and nail to prevent communities from providing high speed internet to its residents. Capitalism at its most corrupt: privatize profits and socialize capital costs and losses.

Snarky answer: “yes, and when there’s another hurricane the insurance can just claim bankruptcy and pass the bailout costs to taxpayers.”

Your points are valid for all brands outside of Tesla, btw. Virtually no vampire drain now whereas a few years ago your statement was correct. And I can get from 20->80% in about 20 minutes. Really not an issue to supercharge with how common Tesla superchargers are. All of the advantages outweigh the mild disadvantage of having to charge at superchargers.

I drove 2 hybrids until I got an EV. Will never go back. Concerns about EVs melt away once you’ve driven one. Charging is less of a hassle than you think.

The fact that they would put this in a hybrid means there’s something limiting it (ie poor discharge power, overheats easily, etc).

Just offer all the jobs to ChatGPT!

This bullshit is 100% written by corporate social media. Fuck that.

I nominate ChatGPT to moderate every one of their shitty subs. Obligatory fuck you spez.

I deleted all my comments and years old accounts a month ago and haven’t been back since. Reddit is dead to me, just like Digg before.

Will be fascinating to see the effect of the exodus long term. Currently, the best data we have is that reddit traffic is down between 5-10%. Engagement length is down as well, to its lowest level in 3 years. Of course, traffic is a trailing indicator. I have to assume content will suffer dramatically as the heavy Reddit users (the contributors and mods) are pissed of and leaving. Probably won’t know for another few months but everybody should come over to Lemmy!

Wait, the white supremacists and Nazis that he caters to aren’t making up the ad revenue? Well I’ll be!

You are wrong. Before Digg v4, it was a far better interface with better content than Reddit. Reddit was at best a marginal player and far smaller than Digg. I hated Reddit at the time and only begrudgingly switched because of what Rose did.

What if you had to PAY a subscription fee to NOT have Android Auto?

Hmm. I really am struggling trying to predict the outcome here.

On the one hand, we have a ubiquitous FREE interface that is mature and works via your phone (that 99% of people already have and are familiar with with their own custom music playlists) and is updated constantly.

On the other hand, we have a PAID interface that sucks donkey dick in usability with little to no customization or upgrade ability and will need to be managed completely separately from your phone.

The entire executive team should be escorted out of GM headquarters after receiving swirlies.
