Nowadays its all about monetization :/

Lemmy is kinda refreshing and reminds me a lot of the early internet/reddit.

Yeah, charging is the main reason I skipped a Tesla 4-5 yrs ago and went for the Benz. Thought chargers were getting more ubiquitous and available enough for me to give it a shot this time around, but all these Tesla layoffs got me second-guessing that

I'm their prime demographic, currently car shopping to replace my wrecked Benz, and was leaning towards a Model 3 up until reading this headline lol. I guess I could still charge at home or if the network fails it could be purchased by another company?

Or I just avoid stressing about it altogether and get a normal car

I highly recommend watching The Territory: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16378164/

Its a documentary following one of these indigenous tribes and the shit they have to go through in keeping their autonomy. Like its one thing for the government to say a certain land is theirs, but what are they supposed to do if a logging company starts cutting down their trees and the local law enforcement doesn't care?

Oh man, we thought everything was so bad, turns out those were the good times

Web 2.0 happened :/

It centralized control to a few large corporations and lowered the barrier to entry for users such that everything became a popularity contest for eyeballs. TikTok, reddit, facebook, youtube, instagram, OF, its all a brainless race for engagement

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US

The internet peaked in 1999

2000s internet was simpler times

Whooosh

The 90's were 20 years ago, we don't talk about the 2000's

That must make some ultra indulgent ice cream
