One wheel as well is a notable example for me.

Personal EVS shouldn't be completely unrepairable and unmodifiable. Just disconnecting the battery will brick it and you have to send it back to the manufacturer...

Wonder how much that ends up costing per month and how much that ends up costing over the lifetime of the vehicle.

Assuming the lifetime even matters when they decide to just cut off subscriptions at some point in the future to turn features off to drive you towards buying a new vehicle and dumping this one like a good consumer.

It's just called corporate gaslighting at that point

Yeah but the searching also kind of sucks for detailed information.

If only we had these things called search engines that indexed websites that had information on them.

It's even worse when open source projects point you towards their discord for questions and support.

It's just a black hole for information

This is why we can't have nice things.

"I don't understand the problem, therefore it must be simple and anyone not saying it's simple is obviously wrong"

It only works that way if you are willfully ignorant. As does everything else in the world.

You can easily calculate your taxes, and your necessary withholdings from that on your W4. There's even a stupid simple grid to match your income to on one of the pages...

It's like a grocery store where you know the prices, but they're rounded to the nearest $0.01. but at checkout you have to make up the difference that wasn't shown on the price tags. Which overall constitutes a minimal portion of your overall bill.

Nothing you're saying is arguing the point...

The scale is immensely and massively different. Modern social media is not going away, the digg phenomena was one driven by a much smaller number of more passionate users.

That much smaller number of more passionate users has already left Reddit.

Remember that archive team is unaffiliated with archive.org.

You should still donate to support the storage & maintenance costs of archive.org

The point you made is literally the point in the joke.

You just proved it more right with another example. I'm not entirely sure what you are going for here 🤔

Honestly not much different on largerv lemmy communities either.

This is more of a symptom of our society than of a specific platform.
