New cars are kinda shitty. They collect a ton of data, don’t let you actually drive, have a million unecessary features built in to try to reduce the stupidity of drivers who should be nowhere near a motor vehicle and are super ugly to boot.

I do know a lot of people who tow, but I’m in motor racing circles where people are regularly hauling race cars through multiple states every week.

Not really. Instagram is for sharing photos to more than just creators. Creators generally don’t interact, like/share, etc other creators content, they just endlessly post their own.

There’s no point in reporting this to the police in the US. They literally do not care and will not do anything about it.

Because Vero has nobody on it outside of creators. I looked into it as an alternative for my photography and it’s a ghost town outside of creators posting. Nobody is liking/commenting on anything

Unfortunately that isn’t really the reality. Apps like Vero have plenty of creators, but no regular users. And since there’s no regular users, it never grows beyond a network of creators trying to make it big.

Critical mass is almost impossible to overcome for a new platform. Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter all still have exponentially more users than any of their supposed alternatives, and no matter how they treat their users the vast majority of them have no problems staying.

Not only does nobody care, but they prefer centralized services. Tbh I still prefer centralized services and Lemmy is the only federated anything I use, because the others don’t do anything better than their alternatives.

Lots of women have a thing for older men, or are willing to put up with older men for the benefits that come with it (money, fame, etc)

The average user does not want to see that and does not need to see that. That’s how you end up with thousands of support requests of “why is my computer showing these errors?”

Things should be abstracted from the users by default. There’s no need for grandma to see a console output every time windows needs to update.

This definitely doesn’t happen to everyone. I’ve never once had this happen and I’ve kept my windows up to date.

100% never seen this either and I’m a daily windows user who has had the search bar disabled since day 1

It was for legal reasons. They split personal teams and work teams to try to dodge an antitrust iirc

Still no good if you play about 70% of games with an anticheat. Outside of that it’s fine if you’re willing to put up with general Linux issues
