Things are slowing down a bit. Isn't this a good thing for the planet?

Even my phone from 8 years ago was fine. My current phone has a nicer camera and is faster, but all the other stuff is not that important.

Is this before or after it destroys the economy for everyone but the super rich by replacing them and making them compete for fewer and fewer scraps? Sorry, there will be lots more new jobs created by AI probably, like AI wrangler, AI safety consultant and the like. Probably.

If you'd only bought fewer iPhones and avocados you could have bought a 5 bedroom house with 3 garages, a pool and a white picket fence and take a holiday abroad twice a year. You just need more discipline, pull yourself up by the bootstraps*!

*I am now going to research what bootstraps are.

Why do they even have an Amazon echo if they know it's a fucking security risk? If you need a speaker, just get a speaker, not one a spyker (sorry, that was shite)

He should just hide the login and tweet buttons.

Not really. Reddit was mostly fine, but I do at least feel that as there are fewer users on Lemmy it's easier to interact with others than just posting to the void.

The button on my mouse that changes the sensitivity. It's right on top between the left and right buttons, so it happens quite frequently. Maybe I should finally figure out if I can disable it in settings somewhere, but then I'll need to change sensitivity for some reason.

Also, when I swipe back on Android and it takes me to the home screen, closing the app. When I swipe back on purpose I don't even want to go back to the home screen, usually just the top of the app, or clear route etc. from Google Maps, but it's even worse when I accidentally swipe. Whoever made that design choice deserves a kick in the groin. That is like the most single annoying thing about Android I can think of.

The few people still driving original Minis must have some butt clenching moment driving in modern traffic. I do love the design of the original mini, but if you get in one now you basically feel naked, as they are so low down, and there is no padding between the metal of the exterior and the interior, not to mention the lack of any modern safety features like airbags and crumple zones.

This is fine to a degree, but it's really sad that even 2000s cars are small compared to modern cars, which are basically all turning into SUVs and becoming increasingly unsafe for other road users. The Porsche SUV is the most ridiculous looking vehicle I've seen showing this trend, whereas the Mini > New Mini seemed like it was more about safety and practicality if you ever rode in an original Mini.

I'm even noticing more trucks and SUVs in Japan now. There are very few of the super doody retard mobiles that seem very common in the US, but I have seen them, and there are plenty of people driving chunky Jeep and Mercedes trucks which still look too large for the streets here. I really hope there is not a trend, but SUVs definitely seem to be increasing in number.

Thankfully very small kei cars are still popular.

Holy shit. This kid will probably not see jail and will be driving again in a year or two because his weapon of choice was a car.

People who drive those stupid fucking lifted trucks from the thumbnail regardless of whether or not they rolled coal will probably be next in line.
