There are some brands of bicycles that can cost more than the down payment on a car. Why? Surely making a bike lightweight and reliable isn’t so difficult that it warrants that price? Is it just the brand name or maybe it has to do with customization options?
That is exactly, what I mean. It’s not so much about impressing other people and more about impressing themselves. They want a big car, because they think, it makes them big. Even people who care about cars don’t see every car and think how cool the owner must be.
Many of us love building beautiful fantasy cities. And it suck when you can only build cities that are worse that reality. Ok. I do understand, that there is not every mode of transportation from the start. But biking and walking!?
Remember, the social Democrats sided with the Nazis over the socialists. They’ve done it every time they’ve been given the opportunity, and will continue to do so as many times as people fall for their shtick....
No. Social Democrats protected democracy again both nazis and communists. Communists don’t want democracy. They want dictatorship of workers over everybody else. Nazis want the dictatorship of their people iver everybody else. Social democrats want a democracy of free and equal people.
I think ads could work better if YouTube didn’t use them to make the free experience awful. They usually have neither to do with me nor with the content I tried to watch.
Personally I believe that it'll make people associate the Fediverse with Threads, which is not a good thing. Edit: It'll replace their definition of the Fediverse, with Threads, and people may widely forget about Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin etc.
When I draw from experience with Meta it will mean harm for the Fediverse. Their moderation will be bad. They won’t ban Nazis. Nazis will attact marginalized people in the rest of the Fediverse. So instances will block Threats some won’t = The fediverse is split. Zuck wins.
It’s not a technical split, but an ethicsl split. Until recently the fediverse took pride in the fact that they watched out for eachother. If tgere was an instance that didn’t moderate nazis, they defederated or at least muted it. Now, that the instance in question is run by a corporation with a history of bad moderation, desinforamation and hate-speech they get the benefit of doubt, because people think it’s cool that an awful guy like Mark Zuckerberg sees a chance of making big money on their hobby. I think Meta joins the Fediverse to attack Twitter. It’s a means to end competition. Thus they will not let the rest of the fediverse become competition. “Competition is for losers” – Peter Thiel
And that is not a mistake or a missing feature in a beta version. People can easily join but they can’t leave. Threads can only grow. And the will remain this way until someone wins in court against Meta
What would life be like if we had 2 moons? With 2 different lunar cycles, how would we tell which time of the year it is without months?

Electric cars are crucial, but not enough to solve climate change. We can’t let them crowd out car-free transit options.

Why advertise on YouTube?
Why do companies advertise on YouTube when their ads are only used to annoy people into paid accounts? I never see anything, I am interested in.
