The problem is that he still owns a huge chunk of the stock. Unless he sells it all for some reason (or dies (naturally), now that would be something), there is no way to hope that Tesla succeeds independent of Elon because he directly profits from their success.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party's own approval rating is that low, and they're still not sure when they're supposed to start trying...

For me it's more about having the tab control and menu down at the bottom with the address bar at the top. Those are the features I interact with more, but I don't like keeping the address bar at the bottom as well because it takes up the most space. I often use the native back button (when it works) but having back/forward readily available also helps with some reader views.

Meanwhile this man is literally the deep state within the bureaucracy right now.

That seems like the plan

He’s practically incoherent though. He can’t deliver clear statements or messages, and his public speaking events are always awkward and small. The debate he participated in was embarrassing. And just on a physical level, he is a gross, unhealthy person with fake hair and a fake tan.

But he has good PR that frames him as charismatic and powerful, he has a lot of high-profile sycophants who fawn over him, and most public interactions he has are staged to make him look good. There is definitely a Trump cult of personality, but it’s not a cult that was created organically by his own charisma.

Not the address bar, but nav bar. I like to keep the address bar at the top, with the nav bar at the bottom.

My setup in Samsung Internet:

Firefox Nightly:

I've never been to a Japanese cafe, but knowing what I know about them from Japanese acquaintances, yeah, mostly.

They'd probably either use actual dishware that is returned and washed, or yes, expect people to bring disposable waste home with them. Everything I've heard is that public trash bins are not non-existent, but they are rare.

Trump is not really a showman, he's a shambling corpse with zero charisma who needs to rely on saying the most bold-faced lies to generate any enthusiasm among his voters. All of the hype around him is manufactured.

People basically just support him because he has an R next to his name, because he "tells it like it is(n't)," and because capitalism has brainwashed people into believing that businessmen should run the world. That, and he was a white man running against a colored woman, which gave him the racism votes that America still has in spades.

I had been using Samsung Browser for a while. With the latest push by Google to retire Manifest v2 in Chromium, and also not wanting to feel like I need to stick with Samsung for my next device (hopefully not for another long while), I switched to Firefox mobile.

To be honest, I hated it. The interface is pretty clunky, it would keep just pulling up my keyboard at random times when browsing pages, it doesn't seem to work reliably with Android's native back button, and despite me having my preferences set to reopen my last used tab when launched, it keeps bringing me to the blank home/new tab page (blank because I disabled all of the Mozilla bloat).

I like that it has extensions, though Bitwarden doesn't seem to work well in Firefox mobile (I just use the Bitwarden app on my phone instead, which is ok).

I missed having the separate bottom nav bar like Samsung Internet allows, but did learn that one exists in Firefox Nightly, so I switched to that version and have been doing my best to get used to it. It stinks a bit that Firefox is not nearly as customizable as Samsung internet, but at least with the nav bar, it's familiar enough for my muscle memory to deal with for now.

I guess everyone hates the nav bar though, the general consensus I've read online is that people want to keep everything hidden in the "More actions" menu, so if they end up removing the nav bar entirely I may look for something else.

I was tempted to try Brave, even. But with all of the sketchy crypto shit, unfortunately right-wing leadership, and still using Chromium as its backend, that ended up being a hard no for me.

Other than a couple notable exceptions like Genshin, most Chinese games tend to stay in China. Could always change, but the Chinese market has always been very insular.

It was the first video game bubble pop in the 80's that tanked the Western gaming industry and paved the way for Japanese consoles and publishers to make waves internationally, though, so who's to say that the same couldn't happen this time for China? But Japan's industry is still healthy, so who knows.

Well I can say with relative confidence that the Japanese game industry is the only one doing well right now, so they have a point.

At the rates Americans are paying right now, maybe.

Yep, it's that "And then they came for me" statement being played out in realtime.

Asylum seekers are being deported, visa holders are having them canceled, permanent residents are being detained, and they're even working on stripping citizenship of Americans born to non-American parents.

I feel like the eventual next step is stripping citizenship from dual nationals and deporting them to whatever other country they are a citizen of.

Eh, I get it though. On the one hand you're right, a lot of people bought Teslas years ago and had no idea what they were getting into. But at the same time, they're proving the point that these are not good cars and the lack of security/failure rates they have should add to a growing pile of reasons not to buy one that are not strictly politically motivated.

Lemmy.world was up and down earlier, it wasn't just Sync for me. Ran into the same thing, other instances worked fine in Sync and Lemmy.world was slow to load/unresponsive in the standard site and the Alexandrite version.

That's the guy who works at the cryogenics facility that Fry was frozen at for 1000 years.

Dr. Farnsworth used to have red hair, the same as his ancestor Fry and his younger clone Cubert.

Fascism should never be on the ballot, sorry.

If this is real, how much you wanna bet that this guy spent two years telling people "Yeah I have a girlfriend, we're supposed to meet in person in 2025"

So we cut the head off the beast to silence it and take those options off the ballot entirely.
