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.

Not going to lie, I really hate when the internet gets a new favorite phrase. Destroys discussion on the subjects and feels like it's a race for commenters to say the hit phrase.

Yeah wtf. I was looking forward to season 2

Yeah, Lemmy is actually pretty terrible tbh. I keep hoping it'll get interesting but it's repetitive AF.

But did you know Linux beat Windows in a test of 10 games?!

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.

Ive read those 7 paragraphs a couple times now, and I don't see anything about getting a legal pass. Maybe you could quote it for me?

I have missed things due to ads covering things up on mobile on the past.

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 don't think I understand how adding safety indicators to elevate awareness of self driving vehicles helps rich people avoid all consequence.

As a poor person, I'd like to know if a car I'm driving by is self driving.

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.

But any way you want to compare Threads activity/uses to Lemmy's... It's pretty obvious that Threads is already way bigger which was the main point I'd imagine.

 

Like, the site owners/employees/admins/mods are the only ones who choose what to post(and hopefully not extremely bias and a good spread of topics), but the users can still upvote/downvote the post as well as comment and all that?

I like the aggregation mark down style of these sites, but I am not sure about the curation being purely user based. I am curious if the users having a large majority control of the curation hurts the quality, and I'd like to see comparisons if they exist.
