  • Tesla understood that Batteries are expensive so let’s make a fancy car so customer are OK to pay for the batteries main brand either didn’t have an EV or tried to make a cheap electric car, cutting down the autonomy (e.g. the Renault Zoe). Add the whole We’re a progressive company, so we give Tesla rather than diesel mercedes to our executive and Tesla was the main player on the niche market for a decade.

    However, as electric car stop being a Niche, every brand has now several electrical models, from a affordable urban one_ to a comfortable and fancy one, If you can afford a Mercedes, Tesla is still an option (but then there is Musk personality not helping) but if you ain’t rich, you can go to Volkswagen or Renault depending on how broke you are


  • Unlike proprietary social media, there isn’t an algorithm showing “tailored content for you” too which you add “way less users” and no “big influencers”

    To have content, you should subscribe to more communities, also please feel free to post content in order to create some conversations




  • According to wikipedia, there is rougly 2.5 Billions of Christians with half of them being catholic, moreover the Catholic church is a relatively centralised religion giving a lot of power to the Pope compared to other religious leaders. So I can’t think about many religious leader having that much global authority.

    I Wouldn’t be surprised that the death of Ayattolah Khamanei will also quite a big news. However, while pretending to be “a religious leader” he is also the de facto political leader of Iran




  • Bicycle lanes are always a chicken/egg problem, If you build safe bicycle lanes (and not just drop some painting on the road without changing anything else) you’ll drag more cyclist, which in the end let more space on the road for people who really need it. It’s annoying for the car-drivers, but it’s not like car aren’t annoyance for the rest of the population either. Too many cities gave the priority to car in absurd proportions.

    Regarding traffic code, it’s a complicated topic, there is some minor changes of rules which are really making cycling more efficient, I am thinking about the right-turn on red or the dual way bike-lane in single-way street (when technically possible). On the other hand, some cyclists indeed ignore every possible regulation, all while not having the experience to understand what’s safe and what isn’t


  • My hot take is that we get full automated commercial plane before single pilot.

    Single pilot means that there is no way to avoid an air Berlin like mass murder (and being locked alone in a cockpit doesn’t sounds great for mental health). No pilot means less risk to have such a scenario

    Sure we need risk analysis (accident caused by humans versus humans preventing accident) and most likely newer ATC protocols, and some upgrade in equipments, but I doubt there it a major obstacle.

    Welcome back,

    You’ll see the same communities/magazine no matter what’s the instance you use. However, some delay due to federation is possible, it’s espacially a problem with .world due to their relative weight.

    The local feed means you’ll see post from your instance, which may-be interesting as you’ll see content you like if you choose a thematic instance, but it’s not a blocking feature.

    Then there is a bunch of weird instance, like grad where right-winger are role-playing being leftist by shit-posting on how much they love Kim il sun or Vladimir Putin. these are defederated by most big instances and you won’t see their content (and believe me, you miss nothing)



  • Location is the most iportant, meaning that the realistic option is appartment

    • Can get fresh breakfast on the week-end with a 5 minutes walk, and do not need to plan a weekly grocery trip when I have everything down the stairs

    • Do not need to drive home if I get a drink

    • Have access to tons of activities within a reasonable distance, no matter whether I want to learn Korean, watch stand-up comedy or listen to underground heavy metal

    • Kids can quickly get some autonomy compared to suburb where road are full of cars and parents need a car to go every where.

    It’s great. However, from the french ministère des armées Link I count 3 types of satellites for a grand total around 8 including two dedicated to satcom. (assuming this is up to date, and that all informations are public) It’s not a bad number of a “medium-sized nation” but unless other European nation have the same capacities it’s definitely not enough to provide 24/7 intelligence to Ukraine
