Same.

I have several niche interests which are discussed heavily on the respective subreddits but basically don't exist on Lemmy. I use Lemmy far more than Reddit by now but I cannot do without Reddit. I am a lot better at avoiding Meta services.

I mean we're not buying this stuff any longer but I'm surprised coke seems to be more expensive in the US than it is in Denmark?!?

That was quite the read! May you find the vehicle that suits you when the time comes. I hope to buy one more EV and for society to figure things out so I won't need another one after that. Managed until my 30s without a car and starting a family made it necessary. I hope that will end eventually.

Did you see the Hyundai Ioniq 6? Or the very new Kia EV4? They look very "modern" but then again I'd say ICE cars are constantly changing design too.

Well, our Kona is a weird crossover-y thing but otherwise literally identical to its ICE brothers.

Maybe Peugeot, Citroen and similar are what you are after? The new Peugeot 308 electric is pretty "boring" - it's not an amazing EV but better than what they had before

Putin is a violent, ruthless dictator supported by a corrupt oligarchy. While he might claim to borrow ideas from communism, 9/10 people I have heard supporting communism hate Putin.

And while I don't really like conservatives, I also think it's unfair to most conservatives to pretend Trump is "just conservative".

Apart from China, Hyundai/Kia is producing really great EVs. And the German brands have viable ones that might eventually catch up to Korea and China now that they're taking it more seriously. Renault is really getting it lately and even Stellantis is coming with new platforms that are pretty good. The Japanese have invested more in anti-EV-propaganda than in EVs.

We have a Hyundai Kona from 2019 and it's an amazing car. Every single person who ever tried it never wants to drive an ICE again. And this is an old low-to-mid-end vehicle. Our next EV is definitely going to be a lot better.

I'm sure batteries would have progressed more quickly if they had been chosen as the preferred path 100 years ago.

Big oil forced that shit onto you instead of going the far superior EV route from the beginning. Now EVs are finally taking over and I'm happy my kids never have to get fuel grease on their hands and suffer those nasty fumes at gas stations. Shifters were needed for an inferior technology to work. I liked it as an experience when I learned to drive. But cars are mostly transport due to failure of better public transport infrastructure. I don't care whether they're fun. I drive for fun on the Xbox or maybe in a GoKart every few years.

Oh that felt good to rant.

At this point being banned might be a good thing to drive home the point that also my favorite of the old corporate internet platforms should be avoided. I'm doing quite okay on staying away from Meta and have long deleted my Twitter account. I can't get myself do drop Reddit somehow. Seems like they're only helping me get off my addiction

What commies? This makes no sense?!

Lemmy is becoming better and better and people like you are giving a major contribution to that! Thank you!

We need to hold them accountable and stop looking the other way. But more hate and destruction will not solve anything.

I think there's a huge difference between fighting bullying or hate speech against minorities. Another thing is making fun of very specific and very public people.

This comment made me double check. They're from San Francisco: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framework_Computer

I'd prefer to buy taiwanese tbh. 😉

Wow, that stuff looks awesome! Thanks for sharing 🙏

I play some Helldivers and Marvel Rivals on my ultrawide for example. And while I'm currently playing Cyberpunk on my Xbox I might play similar titles on a computer too

Now, can we have a cool European company doing similar stuff? At the rate it's going I can't decide whether I shouldn't buy American because I don't want to support a fascist country or because I'm afraid the country might crumble so badly that I can't count on getting service for my device.

They better release a new one before I break down and buy a new "gaming laptop" because I sometimes game.
