Hyundai and now VW? Who’s next?

I’ve been saying this for years. And getting shit on for it. It was in the Privacy Policy the whole time.

So buying a Tesla means you pay for features you can’t use without additional payment.

Most cars have this these days, unfortunately. At least you can purchase Tesla’s with a one-time payment where everyone else offers only subscriptions.

What if they are? Does FCC have the authority to force them to carry or promote “faith-based programming”?

As someone who runs a streaming service, I wouldn’t allow it.

Firefox? You mean the company they give several hundred million dollars/year? Yeah I don’t think they’re too worried. They need some number of users on Firefox to prevent anti-trust issues. Which they’re on the brink of right now.

BYD is Chinese. Very common there.

Not nearly as massive

This says nothing about how they undercut Tesla (and every other non-Chinese automaker) but I’ll tell you:

• slave labor
• massive government subsidies

“Creating your own feed” implements algorithms that surfaces content for you, rather than you having to go searching for it. I’ve already explained how Lemmy is different and I don’t know how to be clearer about that.

Unfortunately, it is likely to still be running Windows

The End.

Why bother at this point? The market is oversaturated with dozens of devices with very little difference between them.

Everyone doesn’t have to host their own instance.

They do own them, though. That’s what happens when you upload content to Youtube. Or virtually any other website, for that matter.

Why do so many people assume everyone on the Fediverse is a software developer?

I’m not sure what I’m understanding that’s markedly different from what we have here in terms of feeds

Well there’s only a handful of “algorithms” (if you can call them that) in Lemmy, created by the devs, and all of them are very basic. You cannot go and create your own feed and you cannot share that feed with anyone else.

I also thought Mastodon was just a chronological feed as well.

Yes that is the problem. Maybe not for you, but it is for many “normies”.

I don’t get the hype for Bluesky when it’s venture capital funded and eventually those VCs are going to want a return on investment.

I agree and was not trying to “hype” BSky. Just pointing out that fedi devs could take a page out of their book.

Fedi learned lots of things, but they haven’t learned about user-generated or shared feeds.

This is one area where BlueSky is breaking new ground in an incredible way with user-created feeds.

Meta will never give you this because they want to be in constant control of everything you see. Maybe like 20% things you’ve expressed that you actually want to see.

This not only gives you the power to control what you see but also disincentives creators and marketers from trying to abuse and manipulate the single algorithm. Like, don’t bother, because there isn’t one.

Fedi could learn a lot from them.

I just downloaded the Kagi Orion browser and I can install extensions from both Chrome and Firefox web stores!

Yes, that’s totally what I said.

I don’t know what to say other than pull your head outta the sand.

What’s malicious about AI and LLMs? Have you been living under a rock?

At best it is useless, and at worst it is detrimental to society.
