There must be something messed up with your Google search cause googling Lemmy gets me Motorhead first and then either lemmy.org or lemmy.world plus some wikipedia explainers, I don’t even see a link to lemmy.ml even after 2 pages of results.

I have not found it hard at all to just ignore the .ml devs and people in general. Why is this such an issue for literally anyone?

Do people even fly Southwest anymore? Didn’t that airline become an absolute shit show? You no longer have first come first serve seating, and they charge a premium for literally everything. All this after the company was acquired by a billionaire asshole.

The key to flying is to miss the ground. Try distracting yourself the moment you lose your balance.

Are you using the free version of Plex or the paid for version?

It’s the recent “We all hate Plex now” because they implemented a price in regards to the way we access content remotely because it was costing them too much to maintain for free. So anything that smells even remotely like they are trying to make money is getting the shocked and dismayed reaction. Usually followed by a dozen or so people talking about how they’ve ditch Plex ages ago for a truly free platform like jellyfin/Kodi/etc.

The bill specifically says they cannot use battery. Which is literally the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. This bill was written by the coal and gas lobby.

If this passes, the solar and wind companies should simply close up shop and tell Texans to buy all their power from coal and gas and see how far that gets them. These dipshits will only learn through pain.

If this passes the solar companies should close up shop and abandon Texas. Head for a state with as much sun but less stupid.

Leave the assholes to their fate.

Who would have thought that the way to reduce crime was to reduce people’s need to commit crimes by giving them homes and a future.

It’s just a TNG-era Star Trek with a different coat of paint.

This is why I found it so boring. Not only was it full of tired McFarland humor but the storylines were just rehashes of old Star Trek episodes. I peaced out around half way through season 1.

I have young nieces who did nothing to deserve a life in the world these oligarchs are crafting. I owe it them to do whatever I can to fight these assholes.

Yeah, cause 1 rando’s unsupported opinion overrides a researched article that sites sources. You know, if you actually bother to click the links they provide. But hey, I guess you’re too clever for that.

No, that’s still just a tariff. It also only applies to light trucks. Doing a negligible amount of googling brought up this:

https://www.autoevolution.com/news/why-hasnt-byd-entered-the-us-with-its-evs-yet-blame-the-inflation-reduction-act-208737.html

In a nutshell, it was the tax credit. The law confirming the tax credit made it impossible for any foreign made electric vehicles to qualify for it. It is a protectionist scheme like the chicken tax, but implemented in a far different way.

On the plus side, if Trump axes the tax credit BYD may start selling in the US. Even with the ridiculously inflated tariffs, BYD is cheaper than a Tesla or other EV on the market.

Making a safe inexpensive car is easy when you don’t over inflate the price of basic safety equipment like airbags.

IIRC it’s not tariffs that are keeping BYD out. There’s some kind of law that’s preventing them from selling their cars in the United States all together. I may be wrong about this I just seem to remember reading something of that nature.

Oh, they have new functionality. It’s all in the back end, detailing everything you do and sending it to the parent company so they can monetize your life.

Elon Musk “rocket scientist”

It’s a good way to be pedantic on social media.

Well, now I have something fun to do over the weekend.

Problem is you can’t shut down your account with the government because that’s your everything. That’s your identity, that’s your retirement, that’s your unemployment. And he’s been given carte blanche to fuck with it in any way he feels like by the giant orange douchebag who thinks Elmo’s a fucking genius. And the Republican Congress is either unwilling or too scared shitless of his billion$ to get in his way.
