Where do you see that information? I didn’t even know it was possible to do this until last night so not sure how I’m supposed to know how long it lasts.

Apple is still releasing security updates for the iPhone 6s… that’s over 8 years of phone updates. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222

So are you saying that Facebook Groups aren’t social media either? That’s a forum like site. Tumblr isn’t social media either?

Correct, facebook groups is not facebook. It's forum software hosted at the same url as facebook. Same as Facebook Marketplace. Marketplace is not facebook. It's craigslist. It just happens to be hosted at the same url as facebook. Just like StackOverflow Chat is not question and answer software even though it's literally hosted at the same url. Just like your phone is not social media even though you both create communities on it and communicate with people on it. If you don't understand how servers work behind the scenes then maybe that doesn't make a lot of sense to you, but a url is nothing more than a sign to put on the front of your building. You can then teleport the user to anywhere else in the universe and it can have absolutely nothing to do with the original location at all. This is the framework of the internet.

Lemmy and Reddit both fall under these definitions.

literally every single website on the entire planet meet those definitions.

Not sure what you mean by this… Reddit has had chats and PMs for a long time.

You cannot interact with your followers. I didn't say anything about communicating with individuals that you see around the site. You have no way to know who your followers are you have no way to message your followers. You have no way to interact with your followers. Reddit is a forum software, exactly like every forum software before it.

Neither Lemmy nor Reddit are anonymous. They’re pseudonymous. Something like 4chan where you don’t even need an account is anonymous.

accounts have nothing to do with anonymity, maybe you're using some layperson's version of anonymity, but anonymous means it does not require real information. reddit and lemmy are anonymous.

ok yes, you're correct. I meant physical health, like air pollution. I just worded it badly.

social media didn't come about until after the advent of facebook so yes, by definition it excludes anything before then. Forum software existed for decades at that point. At no point in time has forum software ever been included in anyone's social media definition, except it seems like you.

might be a screen size thing. idk. anyway, the car drove great, but man if it's got the reliability of a gm and the software of a gm then I don't really think it's a good buy.

I never said the words "cheap" or "affordable" in regards to any of the cars I listed, please don't put words in my mouth. And I gave an example of an EV that is 1/5th the cost you decided to cherry pick out of my comment. You clearly don't want to actually discuss this, you just want to ignore actual facts in order to justify your beliefs. I gave you several examples of cars across quite an elaborate price range, ranging from well under the average Swedish car price to the AVERAGE CAR PRICE https://expatrist.com/the-cost-of-owning-a-car-in-sweden/. Good luck dude, maybe one day you'll see the facts in front of you and not ignore them.

the car drove fine, and I didn't really care about the looks (well the interior looks weren't great, but they weren't horrendous) it was just the software. No reason for it to be that bad. it was like they did it on purpose.

Or that's the european or canadian version? It was the brand new 2023 Bolt, with less than 1k miles on it, from a car rental. It just had shit software. No overlay or anything. I literally had to google how to tell the battery percent because it's so non-obvious. And it wasn't even on the main cluster, it was in the center display on a different screen. Just absolute shit. Car drove great though.

It was a brand new car rental. It had less than a thousand miles on it. So no, not old. It wasn't bad by any means, but GM software is just absolutely shit and it showed. The car itself was great.

When you use 1/10th the searches because you get it all in the very first query your usage goes wayyyy down. even then, you aren't limited to 300 searches. you can go over, you just pay per search. and even with that if you can't do that then just default to DDG then. I found DDG to be terrible, not at all better than Bing by itself, so Kagi was something I tried and immediately fell in love with. It just works. And I don't have to worry about any of my data going anywhere at all, to any advertisers for anything, or for tracking, etc.

You’ve really got two options here. Tailscale, which will give you named dns routes for your machines, based on the machine name, or dynamic DNS with a reverse proxy like SWAG.

So if you read the article the court case actually ended 13 years ago, the judge just never ruled on it. So it’s not even that the evidence is old (I mean it is, but that’s clearly not the reason here). There was a delay in the actual ruling after the case concluded. Really really strange.

The lowest plan is only $54 a year and it’s most definitely worth it for the results.

Not kagi. I haven’t specified Reddit once since switching to kagi. It really is that much better than DDG and Google.

Kagi is even better than DDG. Google is absolutely horrendous.

He’s shiny after cleaning off. Like he doesn’t ever take showers or something

I haven’t driven many EVs, but the bolt was the worst of them all. You literally can’t even tell what your battery percentage is. They give you ten bars and you have to read it like a WiFi signal, except it’s impossible due to how small it is. GM vehicles are absolute trash. Anyway more EVs are better so ignore my rant.

75% of vehicle sales in Sweden are EVs https://cleantechnica.com/2023/01/03/plugin-evs-take-record-75-share-of-swedens-auto-market/

The two bestselling EVs in that article are the Volvo xc40 and the VW ID.4. Both of which are less than $45k usd (480,000 SEK for the xc40 and here’s a used ID.4 for 370k).

This myth that EVs are expensive has really got to go. The Nissan leaf has been available for over a decade at a super cheap price point. Here’s a Nissan leaf for sale for $8k USD/90k SEK. https://www.car.info/en-se/car-for-sale/nissan-leaf-24-kwh-109ps-2012-at-bossloh-co-bil-40876608
