If we include the upcoming 2025 Crown Signia, Toyota has 10 different SUV models in the US (self.cars)
 
  1. Corolla Cross
  2. RAV4
  3. bZ4X
  4. Venza
  5. Highlander
  6. Grand Highlander
  7. 4Runner
  8. Land Cruiser
  9. Sequoia
  10. A Crown Signia crossover in 2025

Does any other carmaker have this many SUVs/Crossovers being sold at the same time? Seems like so much overlap between them that I'm surprised it's profitable to do this, let alone to have to keep up regular refreshes/redesigns of 10 different models without them starting to look the same.

@[email protected] and anyone else:

If you want to follow Twitter accounts from Mastodon, there's a bridge called Bird.Makeup that still works and is building a workaround to this issue.

I'm working on a Mastodon client called Agora that integrates this bridge into the search, so that if you search for "[email protected]" it automatically loads the bridged Mastodon version of the profile:

Great concept! Btw in addition to this, if you post something on Mastodon and tag the lemmy community in the post, it posts it to Lemmy directly.

Bluesky and Mastodon users are having a fight that could shape the next generation of social media in c/[email protected]

I don't see how that's accurate if it's jointly owned by its employees.

Jack Dorsey doesn't "own" Blusky, he just gave them grant money in the beginning to kick things off, and is one of the board members.

"Prior to the seed round, Bluesky's website described the company as a Public Benefit LLC owned by CEO Jay Graber and other Bluesky employees. Post-seed round, the company describes itself as a public-benefit C Corp."

The dude in the video was subdued because he eventually just gave up and started running away. That’s luck, not training.

Also, if someone threatens people’s lives with a knife, all bets are off and if the threat is neutralized by them getting shot, they brought that upon themselves.

This super naive idealistic way of handling law enforcement is why Europe has such a problem with immigrant crime. You guys overcorrected from colonialism to whatever pansy shit you have now.

Are there any US cities that are working on plans to use existing freight rail lines for commuter rail? in c/[email protected]
[–] spiritedpause 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That’s for passenger rail between cities, I’m more so referring to commuter rail within a city to get from suburbs to city center. Those systems are generally built and run by state and local gov.

Forgot about the Moto Z, I’d actually prefer they name their flagships that over Moto Edge
