So good news: this item got procedurally removed.

Bad news? There’s so much other terrible stuff in the bill now, like basically destroying the solar industry via removing tax breaks for solar projects and apply taxes to any solar from China. Musk has been freaking out about this all day as gasp, it could actually affect his personal businesses.

I don’t know, this is going to piss of a lot of hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts who tend to vote more conservatively too. At least worth writing your congress critters and spreading the word.

You assume I was for the 20 year genocidal war? Why? IMHO it was a huge fucking mistake too.

I’d have ever so much more sympathy if they hadn’t just spent over a year genociding Palestine…

Honestly I have used Blue Sky and Mastodon and Mastodon feels a lot more elegant to me, personally.

What I don’t get is why anyone would ever choose commercial social media again given there are Activity Pub clones for practically everything now, where you aren’t the product. So many people learned nothing from the ongoing Twitter debacle and the zillion Facebook privacy scandals apparently.

It is always hilarious and strange to see the buy-in on these things. We have a single coder in his late 60s that has bought in hard to spicy autocorrect. Meanwhile, the youngest on our team (like 22) won’t touch it with a 10 ft pole.

The other issue is just the morality of it. Do I know people that got rich on Bitcoin? Yes. Do I feel like they’re participating in a pyramid scheme still? Also yes. And with spicy autocorrect, where they got their training data for any and all of these models is so freaking morally bankrupt, and they’re desperate to paper over that and make it “ok” for businesses to use it.

Had to click through to change my downvote to an upvote, lol.

Literally all we need is everyone to kick in a couple bucks a month and I think everything would be in great shape. I think the user base is like 65k+ users currently?

They need to get the fuck rid of that executive. Whoever has been running FF the last couple years has done a terrible job in picking directions for them to go, IMHO.

Yeah, I’m still in AZ, thus my question, haha.

Ah, cool! Well AC pretty much solves my hesitations here in AZ, lol. But I know a lot of northern states still might want AWD as an option.

My two immediate concerns would be whether it comes with AC and is there an AWD option. Both of those could be deal breakers towards the borders. I guess they’re not absolute deal breakers (we bounced around AZ in a '71 Datsun pickup that had about the same specs as this a kid) but they certainly would be huge QOL improvements as options.

I think it will depend on if they have lots of USB power conveniently available. Like you could literally make your own stereo with two bluetooth speakers and a phone as long as there’s plenty of USB power and mounting points.

It exists because too many idiots turn it on, forget about it and then drive along for another 5 miles signalling a turn they’re never going to make and confusing everyone around them. Personally, I’d much rather someone signal for “too short” an amount of time than have this happen.

And I think on some cars I’ve had in the past, it was only 2 times even.

I tried, did not like. But it’s nice to have the option. Also, it’s an actual honest-to-god new feature worthy of a new version point vs a lot of stuff where I’m like, this is how you got to version eleventy two?

Being able to launch it locally if you can’t save open or locally seems extremely pointless.

This reminds me of the old how to shoot yourself in the foot joke for unix, except in this case…
