  • What is a human behaviour you've never understood?

  • Not putting your fucking shopping cart away. There’s no better way for me to explain it than the shopping cart theory:

  • Unregistered Hypercam 2. What's the first memory that popped into your head?

    Jump

  • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas stunt compilations and mod videos

  • Tesla releases API pricing, dev says would cost $60 million per year to run his 3rd-party app

    Jump

  • These changes only affect the Fleet API. TeslaFi is fine for now.

  • Tesla excluded from EV buyer credits in California proposal

    Jump

  • Most of those “recalls” are just software updates. One of the major ones in the news within the last year literally just made the size of the parking brake icon a few pixels bigger. Thats it. But the media makes it sound like every Tesla owner is spending every other weekend in the shop for endless recalls. To my knowledge, Tesla has had very few mechanical recalls that have required owners to have their cars brought in for service. The most memorable one I can think of was where the rear seat bolts were not torqued properly from the factory and it only affected a few thousand cars.

  • Embarrassed Teslas Drivers Buying Huge Numbers of Anti-Elon Bumper Stickers

    Jump

  • Okay? You can spend your day getting worked up over the mere sight of a Tesla, but I’m not sure how that affects anyone else but you.

  • Other manufacturers can use Tesla chargers now, and many times those are the best options on long road trips. This doesn’t really change anything. I can also choose to charge my Tesla at non-Tesla chargers and accomplish the same goal.

  • what?? They just scanned my drivers license when I went. Was there an option not to use it? That would probably make me walk out and rent from somewhere else.

  • Mastodon sees a boost from the 'X exodus' too, founder says

    Jump

  • I hate to be the one to break this to you, but servers cost money. Developers cost money. Bandwidth costs money. If you want to run a reasonably successful social media company, you need money.

    Bundling domain registration (already a thing) with custom usernames (already a thing) and taking a profit from that transaction is not enshittification. Enshittification would be if they took away the ability to link your own domain and required everyone to buy domains through Bluesky. This would just be giving less savvy users the ability to link a domain to their username without having to learn DNS.

  • Mastodon sees a boost from the 'X exodus' too, founder says

    Jump

  • From what I can gather, they aren’t selling the ability to link custom domains as your user handle. They are acting as a domain registrar to allow users to buy domains and link them to their handle in one step, then likely skimming some profits off the top. Imagine they sell a “custom username with domain” for $20 per year, they pay the wholesale fee (around $9 for a .com) and pocket the rest. That seems perfectly reasonable to me.

  • Bluesky adds 700,000 new users in a week / A ‘majority' of the new users are from the US, indicating that people are searching for a new platform as an alternative to X.

    Jump

  • Is Bluesky prone to enshittification? I don’t know much about the AT protocol, but it seems like it works relatively similar to ActivityPub. Is it open source?

  • You changing them or leaving them for months until it's the right time again?

  • My state doesn’t do daylight savings, so I get to avoid these useless shenanigans twice a year

  • Experts say a proposed revamp to the recycling symbol is still deceptive

    Jump

  • Not sure why I had to scroll 3/4 of the way down the article to see the new symbol they’re talking about. Shouldn’t that be front and center when I first load the page?

  • If you're in the US, how are you preparing for the election and dealing with the stress?

    Jump

  • I’m going to go drop off my ballot and sit back and wait for the results. There is nothing more I can do so there’s no sense in worrying about it. Focus on things you can actually change.

    Microsoft inks deal to restart Three Mile Island nuclear reactor to fuel its voracious AI ambitions

    Jump

  • For anyone that thinks Microsoft is going to be in full control of the daily operations of this plant, you are sorely mistaken. The NRC has extremely strict regulations for all power plants, and I can promise you that Three Mile Island will be run to the same standards as any other nuclear power plant in the United States. TMI had design flaws that were heavily studied after the incident, and the findings from those investigations have influenced new legislation to prevent such accidents from happening again. The plant will be entirely overhauled to meet modern safety standards before coming back online, you can’t just chuck some uranium back into the core and flip a switch to turn it back on.

  • There are several factors to consider when choosing materials in a nuclear plant. For things that aren’t in direct proximity to the reactor core, neutron activation (becoming radioactive) is less of a concern. Aluminum produces hydrogen gas when exposed to boric acid, which presents an explosion risk. Certain chemical compounds can cause corrosion to plant equipment, even a Sharpie marker could corrode a valve or pipe and cause issues over the 50 year life span of a plant.

    Ban on junk food ads before 9pm to come into force next year

    Jump

  • Oh I knew immediately this wasn’t happening in the US, at least at a federal level. Maybe in a more progressive state or city, but that’s why I started looking for a location.

  • I’m disappointed in how long it took to determine where this is happening. That should be in the title or the post body at the very least.

  • How Self-Driving Cars Get Help From Humans Hundreds of Miles Away | In places like San Francisco, Phoenix and Las Vegas, robot taxis are navigating city streets, each without a driver behind the wheel

    Jump

  • We’ve had them here in Phoenix since before the pandemic. They operate just like Uber, except they’re cheaper and there’s no driver. You can sit in any seat besides the driver seat, and store items in the trunk of the vehicle. You can pair your phone with the car and play your own music on the speakers. Pretty good experience all things considered. The cars are pretty good at finding a place to stop and load/unload passengers, but sometimes they will drive right past you when finding a place to park and you have to walk 10-15 feet to the car.

  • Microsoft now thirstily injects a poll when you download Google Chrome

  • Too bad they don’t have an option for “I just don’t want to use Edge”. Especially with how hard Microsoft is pushing it, that just makes me want to use it less.
