Yes. Faking manual/geared transmission doesn’t actually give you the power of either of those, it’s just to ease people into a new gearless car.

I prefer manual over all, but CVT fixed the issue classic automatic transmission had of limiting the power you can exert. I think if manufacturers can improve the heat problem of the CVT belts and overall reliability then it may become a new standard that even enthusiasts wouldn’t mind.

Yes. And most modern phones nowadays let you play music through the charging port aswell

Car manufacturers need to realize that people already have a touchscreen that has a GPS, podcasts, music, and text messaging service in their pockets 24/7. Best option would be to make built in phone holders that are plugged in via USB C and connect to the sound system. Voila.

Stuff like this makes me very glad to own my 2015 Nissan Altima. I get occasionally let down by its somewhat lackluster engine and CVT transmission, but it cuts all the crap with infotainment bloatware in the dashboard and how it works. The only screen in my car is a small black strip that can only display text as most cars used to have. All you do is plug in your phone to the aux cord and use your phone as the touchscreen it was made to be, no need for another one. Physical buttons galore.

i mean, could lemmy even work with threads? completely different layout and functionality. im having a hard time understanding the Fediverse past lemmy instances interacting haha.

Update: Apparently Wagner is also pushing towards Krasnodar and Volgograd with little to no resistance, both equally major cities. This is just the current word of mouth though, no major news outlets or insiders to confirm.

 

Wagner Group has trekked from Rostov, all the way to Voronezh, and taken control of the military facilities there.

For context, Voronezh is halfway between Rostov and Moscow, and this was accomplished in under a day.

The good news is that bots seem to be joining particular instances made for them. This will make preventing them from ruining the fediverse easy, just defederate from instances like k6qw.

If they start joining instances such as this one, then that is its own issue, but each instance can solve it to their own needs. I'm not too worried about bots on Lemmy at all really.

I'm sort of confused, I thought he already was? Or was he just in jail while on trial?

Definitely. This place is a (much needed) step back to what the internet used to be. Somewhere between 15-20 years ago and now, the online growth experienced obviously went in a wrong direction. I'm glad these huge social media conglomerations were a testing ground for us to discover how the web should not work, and Lemmy is a step in the right direction.

The website now says that Lemmy is over 200,000 people, wow! This growth is amazing, I just hope the people joining are a bit more concrete though, and don't treat this place as a fad.

How long has Lemmy been around for? The oldest thing I've seen so far is about two weeks old.

[–] DVD@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh ja Bruder, du schaffst das! You're halfway through German on Duolingo? You're definitely atleast A2, maybe B1 if that's the case. What Unit are you on?

It's odd that all of this is happening at once, but if I had to bet on a cause it is complacency.

The internet used to be fast in trading the hands of "power". Social medias/major forums would fall just as quickly as they rose. This began to change in 2008-2010 when we sort of developed the Status Quo of websites we see nowadays.

I think these corporations forgot that social medias are not indefinite, and assumed that they could safely get away with much more now than they actually can.

Glad to see new platforms such as Lemmy rising to the task. Change the status quo.

 

The German community I have made is exactly what the title says: A place for people learning German and German speakers to discuss the language.

If you are learning German and have any grammar questions, pronunciation questions, etc. this is the place to ask.

If you simply want to share your journey of learning German, this community is also the right place to do it.

Anything related to the German language belongs in this community. Feel free to join it, though note I am quite an inexperienced moderator as of now.

Guten Tag Lemmites.

I'm new to Lemmy, and an overall novice in the world of programming. I noticed though that many people cited the complexity of the federated system at first as an initial turnoff, and I couldn't help but realize that Lemmy could reach a much greater critical mass if third party services stepped in to streamline the process.

This is where I took inspiration from many posts I've seen on here, and I want to create a simple app, website, addon, whatever works best, where curated "bundles" of communities from all major instances are packaged together and have their own feed. Such as a gaming "bundle" that takes the major gaming communities from major instances. You get the point.

What resources should I know of before using this? I know that I will have to learn the Rust language for this. I may be way, way in over my head. I've never really messed with web development too much outside of a basic website of HTML, CSS, and minimal JavaScript. What's the general pipeline of something like this? And what resources are there in terms of Lemmy API/source code?

Sorry if this question seems vague, I wish I knew more to help specify it haha.
