Explain that to the average car buyer who sees the lower number and rules it out.

This kind of thing didn’t used to bother me at all before it very much bothered me and now I’m somewhere in the middle. I think cartridges/discs for consoles should not require an Internet connection to play them. That said, this isn’t the PS2 era anymore. Many games release with patches day 1 and most will have at least some updates post launch. A lot of games kept offline end up missing out on a ton. Keeping a physical copy of a game is only preserving a portion of the game for a future without the servers to supply the final version, which is my main concern when it comes to physical vs digital media. We still have to rely on hacked consoles running custom firmware or emulation to properly preserve games.

Jesus christ, please not fucking Pelosi.

Or just learn what liberals actually stand for. It all makes sense then.

Average IOF soldier.

You heard it here: Refusing to mislabel refugees as “illegal” is the problem, not drowning them.

OK, I’ll bring receipts. Literally none of the battery EVs sold in the US in the past 4 years even register as “small cars.” Compare that to the rest of the world where they’re nearly a quarter of the market.

Maybe these cars don’t classify as SUVs by some metric, but they are definitely not small. Every vehicle in the US has gotten bigger in the last decade and EVs are no exception.

I drive a Leaf. I wish it was much smaller.

They’re already fucking huge. Every EV in the US is an SUV or pickup. You want a small electric commuter in 2024, your only option is an ebike.

Doesn’t matter. If your PC is ever compromised, that feature is a one stop shop for stealing everything you have ever done on your computer.

How long until the majority of the Internet is inaccessible to non-Chromium browsers because the pages “don’t support them”?

That’s the Wikipedia bias. The vast majority of pages are written and maintained by a small number of people with a Western Centrist perspective, which tends to be more conservative. You start to notice it more once you see it for the first time.

Netanyahu could and the US would happily follow them.

No, you’re right. The worst of my concerns is Biden’s insistence on making us complicit in a brutal genocide for a fascist foreign power.

Needlessly doubling the price of electric cars and bikes, collecting the difference as a tax on lower income Americans who would have most benefited from these much cheaper forms of personal transportation, while also posing as the environmentalist candidate, is just one example of the crock of shit we’re expected to participate in this year. Let’s just acknowledge that Biden is only here to defend and uphold billionaires, in this case, the ones who own the US car industry.

Trump wants to ban all EV sales despite what Americans want.
Biden wants to ban China EV sales despite what Americans want.
About what we can expect from this stupid fucking election.

Way to redraw your red line, Biden. Absolute fucking coward.

This is Microsoft, an American corporation, actively developing the things the Internet spazzes out about China probably doing. How happy this makes China? Buddy, imagine how happy this makes every marketing company in the world, your local police department, and your own government, all of which have a much more vested interest in everything you do on your computer and are considerably more of a threat to you than the ruling party of a country on the other side of the planet. Seriously, y’all need to get your fucking priorities in order. It’s borderline satire how fast your average Lemmy user slaps the China Panic button as soon as a privacy-related issue hits their front page.

Holy shit, I forgot about Artifact lol.
