probably not, unless you add certain services back onto your phone. currently, gemini needs the google workspace to do anything, even something like setting a timer or reminder. i obviously dont know what change they make with that announcement, but i dont think they would offer such a feature without sucking the user deep into the google service world.
lemmy.world does not allow the use of vpn to post. vpn is basic internet hygiene. do not go to lemmy.world if you care about that, our you will not be able to post.
At speeds above ~150 km/h, even on a well-organized highway, you won’t be able to control your surroundings and have to rely on sheer luck to survive, unless you’re a professional race pilot on an empty road. Also, unless the car is equipped with special gear for improved road grip, it will become uncontrollable because it will literally start to hover a little.
sorry but no. maybe i am biased since my sole experience is driving the german autobahn, but i drive well beyond 200km/h on a regular basis, which i consider travel speed when the road is not too crowded. cars that could go faster than 250km/h are usually limited to 250km/h. traveling at that speed is loud and a bit stressful, since the difference between you and other cars traveling at lower speeds becomes too high. they will not see you coming before switching lanes and braking distances are very high. but cars dont randomly switch lanes unless tying to pass others cars and you can predict these situations and slow down.
you will not hover, you can control your car normally and the only required luck is to not have others actively try to kill themselfes. you dont need to be a professional race pilot and dont need special gear (of course cars can easily be underequipped for these speeds, but you dont need special gears.
do you mean speeds above 250km/h or speeds above 150mp/h? if that was just a typo i would argue a lot less because those speeds stop being fun to drive, but are also accessible for normal drivers with normal street cars (with enough power of course, but you see plenty of those cards on the average parking lot in front of any supermarket)
Bill Gates will come and say "no!" and microsoft will make a sad face and say "okay." and then bill gates will call my uncle at steam and ban microsoft from playing rocket league.
Disclaimer: have not played in a few years. So this answer is only true for a state of game from before the mistlands update (November/December 2022)
You will have a lot of chests with a lot of stuff. Inventory management is part of the game. You can not carry metal (heavy and important) through portals and are forced to transport them yourself. You will have limited inventory space. You will basically move through tiers of materials (woods, metals etc), but low tier materials will never be obsolete, so you need to store a lot.
That being said: it is all worth it. Your stuff can be destroyed you drop your stuff on death and it makes moving through dangerous parts of the map a lot more exciting and challenging.

back when reddit was not just a meme shithole, karma was used to motivate people to post quality content. 90% of the stuff posted on reddit nowadays would get downvoted into oblivion back then. typo in the title or image caption? downvoted. repost? downvoted. low effort? downvoted.
but with growing popularity the flat number of (usually young) users grew that hat other quality standards grew and these kind of faults were ignored. meme became bigger, and there was a general shift in reddits userbase. they changed the algorith to calculate your score and suddenly you could get just so.much.karma from cheap posts.
some communities became very strict in their content to avoid shitposts. some used karma to prevent trolls participating in their subs. nowadays high karma accounts are being sold as they can be used to participate in subreddits with a high reputation (due to participation limitations) and upvoting/downvoting and commenting on certain post can very heavily skew its visibility and impression of the discussed topic on "neutral" users.
so yea, karma used to be a good thing (good content motivation), became a bad thing (karmawhoring), which was still utilized for good things (participation limitation), which led to even worse things (karmafarming bots).
lemmy will have to deal with this sooner or later. there will be bots brigading communities on certain topics and there need to be some kind of indicators to distinguish honest users and trolls.
i dont know, i dont think so (without a user asking them to?). i think it would be less trouble for them to just create new accounts on their own. same result, but nobody can claim that their deleted account was restored. i think restoring deleted accounts could lead to legal trouble?
thats another thing. no internet points, so no bots to farm them. upvotes really only indicate the quality of the post or comment that receives the upvotes. no way to use the total number of points to claim validity of your posts or to brag with them.
that being said, at one point we will need to figure out a way to identify and prevent bots that just post propaganda. while we wont have the problem of karmawhoring bots, they dont have the need to karmawhore and can try to spread their propaganda immediately.
you mean to get your 12th daily dose of microplastics?
jokes aside, i hate when my sashimi touches the ginger for take-out. the spots denature (is that the correct term in english?) as if it was cooked. i sure wish they used more shredded raddish.
And there were other instances mentioned in other threads as well.
Some problems are not tied to a platform, but to their users. Power hungry people try to grab power where they can. If they can't be mod on reddit, they move to Lemmy. Here they can try to grow "their" space. If a topic already exists on one instance, they can move to another and shape the narrative and enforce rules how they like.
if that is your primary motivation, i have bad news for you... you might have to move on. here you will get bans for downvoting "the wrong" comment or post as well.
Thats trumps golf budget for the next two years that he will spend at his own businesses. with ~3mio/trip thats 161 trips. with him golfing 30% of his days in office during his last term and him being on track to repeat that, this "golfing budget" will be used up in less than two years.
sorry americans, you got screwed for years to come for some racist orange to loot your contry dry to go golfing and funnel money into his own businesses.
