This was put together over a long period of time by my paragliding instructor and friend (former engineer for Canada’s space agency - still has a part he designed on the ISS on Canada’s robotic arm):

Loads of useful info and is updated fairly regularly.

Every time I click on a clickbait title and KNOW what’s coming (bullshit is what’s coming), and yet I do it anyway and get the expected result. Shame on me and that should teach me.

Twitter is a shining example of that.

That is great - also instant subscribed

Good - thought I was the only one who saw little value in following a person on Lemmy.

Who is your daddy, and what does he do.

Nice typo in their propaganda. Couldn’t quite figure out contractions versus ownership.

Anytime I see “unlocking value,” I know that either a bot wrote it, or some MBA that’s selling widgets.

Gottttteeeeeeem

What’s the offshoot going to be called, “Soup”? Not like Alphabet is operating any more as “separate organizations” than Google was previously. Nothing changes there.

Although it’s rare now, it’s nice to come across apps that do something very well that haven’t followed the standard big tech path of mega enshittification. Sounds like this one was decent a while back (but maybe lacked features), and then - holy shit - actually improved over time.

Good post - my heart is warmed.

Or for the youngsters:

Well, it’s just not supposed to happen.

Moss seal of approval.

Exactly. Example: on the Tesla Model 3, many of the panels (such as the rear quarter panel) are glued on instead of bolted/clipped on. So if you graze a stationary object and damage that (it happens), you’re on the hook for a very expensive repair since you need a repair shop that specializes in how to deal with that (plus the actual time to do the repair, which is more complicated). Update the designs to make them more repair friendly and the cost of ownership comes way down.

I genuinely dislike TikTok (might be just old-man-shaking-his-fists-at-the-sky syndrome), but a complete ban on an app like that seems uninformed and quite the overreach. I think banning it on government devices is a good move, and I also think having everyone make informed decisions on who they give their personal information to is paramount (in this case, tin foil hat or no, you’re likely giving it to the CCP), but this seems like a clear case of a bunch of old timers making a pretty uninformed decision based on knee-jerk reactions to public opinion.

I sure am glad we get these large corporations so much in the way of legislation, relaxed regulation, and financial incentives. Surely these will guarantee loads of FUTURE hiring when it will all start trickling down.

Right? Right?

Connectitude

Until this post, I had no idea Rivian even had charging stations.

Auto makers “slashing prices.” With perhaps one or 2 small exceptions, can you actually go out and buy an EV for under 40K in the US? Didn’t think so. Seems to be a whole lotta confusion about “demand” and the manufacturers actually making an electric car that normal people can afford.
