You can mitigate that issue to some extent by making the videos short. As long as the user count remains relatively small, the storage and bandwidth costs aren’t going to spiral out of control. Eventually you’ll have so many millions of active users that you’ll also need to figure out a way to get a steady source of revenue. I wonder how Loops will tackle that issues. Some mastodon instances already have a small yearly fee, so I guess video instances could do that as well.

This sounds pretty cool. Are there other types of restrictions you can have?

Many people seem to have a problem with teaching religion at school, but saluting the flag and reciting the pledge of allegiance are apparently perfectly fine.

Just the cost of doing business. Probably totally worth it in the long run.

Where does Lemmy fall on this spectrum? Obviously the website part is 100% web, but I’m accessing Lemmy through a mobile app, so I don’t see any website here.

The rules didn’t specify that the animal was supposed to be real. Fictional animals are still animals, so they should be fine.

As long as he gets to be the king who gets whatever he wants, he’s totally cool with the idea.

That’s just how media works. Sexy titles about revolutionary new technologies attract clicks, whereas titles about tiny incremental improvements don’t.

Most likely, the incremental and practical improvements have also been documented in special magazines and journals written for battery experts. It’s just that those articles tend to stay in the bubble of the battery experts.

Or adjustable-frequency drive.

Just checked the Wikipedia article of Tesla, and immediately went to the controversies chapter. Oh, boy have they been busy filling up this section. I’ve seen many controversy chapters, but this is just impressive. Many of the main points also have a dedicated article of their own.

These people would meet outside the KKK supermarket.

When I joined Reddit I noticed that it’s too easy to end up doomscrolling and arguing with idiots. That’s why I stayed away from r/all and any sub that’s all about news and/politics. The only exception was r/europe, because I think it’s good to know something about the region that actually influences my life.

In order to avoid wasting time on stupid idiont nonsense, I focused on science and technology subs along with some very specific niche subs. That way Reddit was actually able to provide some benefit from time to time.

I made a Lemmy account before the Reddit Blackout, and I’ve been here ever since. After the blackout ended, I visited Reddit every week at first, but now it’s more like once a month at most. In order to make the transition faster, I unsubscribed from everything except all the protest, blackout, API etc. related subs. So if I go to Reddit now, I’ll just see people complaining about Reddit. If I go to r/all it’s about as useless as it was years ago, so there’s no reason to spend time in there.

I missed the unexpected factorial sub, so I made a spiritual successor for it.

If you miss a particular sub, see if a replacement already exists somewhere in the lemmyverse. If it does, participate in it. If not, make one.

Long before the APIcalypse, I was thinking of quitting Reddit. Now that everything went downhill, that decision became super easy.

I wasn’t really getting that much benefit out of Reddit, so it wasn’t a big deal. Spending time there was more like bad habit to me. The mere thought of paying for a bad habit sounds so absurd that quitting would have been absolutely mandatory at that point.

Fortunately though, Reddit already made the process so much easier simply buy kicking out my favorite client app.

Things might roll along smoothly until the old contract expires and it’s time to negotiate a new one between the unions and employers. That’s when things could get spicy. Tesla demands that the employees are treated as slaves and company property, while the unions demand proper wages, maternity leave, siestas and lots of other things. Obviously, Tesla isn’t going to agree to any of that, and the feeling will be mutual on both sides of the table. Usually this results in a strike, and now we’re talking about a spicy turn of events. Can’t wait to see how Tesla would handle that.

Elon should build a factory in Spain. I really want to see how that works out.

Also, it probably weighs over 3500 kg, so you’ll need a C license to drive it. Fun fact, if you have one of those, you can also drive a huge lorry. Why would you choose an eyesore like that, when you could be a badass rock hauler.

Temperature in fahrenheit is just as arbitrary as celsius. Fahrenheit makes sense from the perspective of human experience while celsius is very relevant to water. It’s really handy if you live in a area with snowy winters. Celsius is standard all around the world, while Fahrenheit is used in a handful of places.

Maybe those NFTs have negative value.

How about we upgrade that to a thunderdome with chainsaws?
