  • It wasnt only Trumps returns

    According to his plea agreement, he stole Trump’s tax returns along with the tax data of “thousands of the nation’s wealthiest people,” while working for a consulting firm with contracts with the Internal Revenue Service.

  • I find myself wanting to kill time by using my phone and scrolling, even Lemmy, and realizing it's not doing anything for me. Just a comfort scroll. I think I'll probably kick the social media/scrolling habit completely within the next year.

  • I understand. Self driving is making progression, and I can understand the concern.

    Like I said, I thought you were saying the indicator was the issue, not the self driving. I don't know the facts behind self driving, and it's definitely above my paygrade, so I have no room to give opinions. I think progression is cool though, if it's proven safe

    To be fair though, you did skip the limitations.

    that can only be used in limited situations and in certain (geo-fenced) areas, like in heavy traffic on select highways at speeds of 40 MPH or less. Drive Pilot is also limited to daytime use and during clear weather, and cannot be used in construction zones. Furthermore, the driver is not allowed to fall asleep or leave the driver's seat

  • Oh my bad. I somehow thought you were implying the light was going to give them the pass... You are talking about self driving cars in general though.

    That's been a thing though, would you like that progress to stop? I guess /fuckcars is a real popular movement online so we can have different opinions on that.

  • The article says they are allowed to test the new indicators in those States, not that they get a legal pass...

    In California, the permit will let Mercedes-Benz trial turquoise lights on test vehicles for two years. In Nevada, the automaker can start adding the feature to 2026 year production vehicles

    Do you think it's a better scenario for less awareness of self driving cars? If self driving is part of the future, this seems like a reasonable step imo.

  • I'm not going to bat for Meta/Facebook.

    But in my personal opinion, users choice is best for the users. If Threads ultimately has more and better content(because let's face it, we've all seen LINUX BEATS WINDOWS IN 10 GAME TESTS! 100 different times already), users who want that content will have to create an account with Meta to access it. I'd rather use my Lemmy account and access Meta through that.

    but again, just my opinion which ultimately doesn't matter.

  • YouGov is a volunteer based, reward based, anonymous polling website.

    If anyone wants to claim they are a 91 year old martian and just rapid fire clicks through these polls to earn gift cards or whatever, you can sign up within a minute with just an email to verify you. I just did out of curiosity. And they use pretty questionable weighted methodology.

    but YouGov is usually the "statistics" for multiple posts of the front page of Lemmy every day.

  • I mean he's always been like this, it's just getting worse.

    Before Donda passed, he already had the infamous "George Bush hates black people" thing and already ran up on stage at the EMAs to say he deserved the award, not the winners. I'm sure there's plenty more documented exmaples , and in those days, the spotlight wasn't on him 24/7.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Are there any active news communities similar to Lemmy/Reddit, but users can only vote and comment, not post articles?
