You assume I was for the 20 year genocidal war? Why? IMHO it was a huge fucking mistake too.

I’d have ever so much more sympathy if they hadn’t just spent over a year genociding Palestine…

That would be the dumbest thing he could possibly do to himself. Honestly I hope he is smarter than that because Putin would turn him upside down and shake him until every last nickel falls out of his pockets, and put it all into the war effort against the Ukraine.

Honestly I have used Blue Sky and Mastodon and Mastodon feels a lot more elegant to me, personally.

What I don’t get is why anyone would ever choose commercial social media again given there are Activity Pub clones for practically everything now, where you aren’t the product. So many people learned nothing from the ongoing Twitter debacle and the zillion Facebook privacy scandals apparently.

They need to get the fuck rid of that executive. Whoever has been running FF the last couple years has done a terrible job in picking directions for them to go, IMHO.

Yeah, I’m still in AZ, thus my question, haha.

Ah, cool! Well AC pretty much solves my hesitations here in AZ, lol. But I know a lot of northern states still might want AWD as an option.

My two immediate concerns would be whether it comes with AC and is there an AWD option. Both of those could be deal breakers towards the borders. I guess they’re not absolute deal breakers (we bounced around AZ in a '71 Datsun pickup that had about the same specs as this a kid) but they certainly would be huge QOL improvements as options.

I think it will depend on if they have lots of USB power conveniently available. Like you could literally make your own stereo with two bluetooth speakers and a phone as long as there’s plenty of USB power and mounting points.

It exists because too many idiots turn it on, forget about it and then drive along for another 5 miles signalling a turn they’re never going to make and confusing everyone around them. Personally, I’d much rather someone signal for “too short” an amount of time than have this happen.

And I think on some cars I’ve had in the past, it was only 2 times even.

Oh no. Anyway…

The answer it’s, they’re neither thing right now. And the claim has been made that in order to run your own instance that forwarded all traffic generated by the primary instance, you would need equivalent hardware to what BlueSky currently has. Vs Mastdon, which is…

• not commercially owned
• has a proven federation capability
• Running a pretty large number of instances right now

I have literally seen two people in the same meeting make the same point and no one will listen if it’s some normal schlub but the handsome man or pretty woman says basically the same thing and people will all be nodding and like “Wow, that’s a great idea!”

I tried, did not like. But it’s nice to have the option. Also, it’s an actual honest-to-god new feature worthy of a new version point vs a lot of stuff where I’m like, this is how you got to version eleventy two?

That’s actually pretty cool to know. Thanks!

I feel like unless you bought an Incel Camino or a brand new Tesla like in the last year, you really shouldn’t be on the receiving end of quite so much hate, TBH. They were the car that finally got EVs off the ground as an acceptable alternative, so it’s a shame early adopters are possibly being lumped in with MAGA truck owners.

Aren’t these the same rat bastards that assisted him into office by trying to provide “both sides” coverage up until about a month before the election?

Ah yes, the “personal liberty” to just accumulate wealth without limits or taxation because that is a “free market”. Never mind Amazon drives on roads built with federal dollars—they are a job creator and everyone should lick their boots for that.
