Link to Bluesky user count.

Pretty cool to watch it in real time.

Temu is insanely popular. Don't underestimate this. Yes, it's pure crap, but people buy it. They earn bucks.

Meaning, it's not a valid argument to say it's crap, and then it's not a problem. Temu is a problem.

But then we have to start another discussion about the free market, because then Temu is valid.

Then what? Legit question, I don't have the answer to.

So the best thing you can do with a tree, is to cut it down and use it as materials, if we want to release as little CO2 as possible?

And ofc this depends on new trees being planted in its stead.

Fair enough. I looked it up, and I think you're right.

I know there's a lot of different definitions on fascism, but one of them originated from Italy is, that the state and corporations act together. In this case, the US tries to bully Taiwan corporations to do their bidding "or else".

I know some would say it dosent count because the Taiwan firm can do as it pleases, but it becomes fascism when the Taiwan government now need to force the corporation to do as the US says.

Indirect fascism. But then again there's also parts of the US that's not fascism, and then we can keep on going.

The US have always been fascists, even before Trump. And if you're in doubt what fascist means, because the word is misused basically everywhere, then this is a great example.

Yeah, that would be an Xbox controller.

You then need to buy a dongle for the Switch, and that's what the guy above is talking about. If you do that, you can play on all your mentioned devices with only one controller.

Britain has in no way done an exit. Going out of a trade and economic union has nothing to do with their military commitments.

Ah yes, and then uses Jesus' name in the same sentence as USA. The guy hated capitalism more than anything.

You're probably right. I encountered maybe 2 or 3 deers running out in front of my car so far, and I hit the breaks every time in pure reflex anyway.

Dodged them so far, but damn I'm scared I might hit one at some point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I heard about people dying in crashes with deers also. I just remembered we were taught this, and I just thought it might be programmed to ignore animals because of this.

But it's probably wrong, and as someone pointed out, it seems like it didn't even see the deer.

I hate Tesla as much as the next guy in here.

But I learned at my driving lessons that you shouldn't hit the breaks for animals running into your lane, because it can result in a car crash that's way worse. (think truck behind you with a much longer break length.)

Don't know if there's different rules.
