Are you calling for a ban on human driven cars? They killed more than zero people yesterday! If you aren't, you've accepted a human-driven vehicular homicide rate above zero.

I mean, that sucks, but it's not like things are going to get better once you're outside of the conditions mentioned

 

They charged him with possession

It's kind of amazing it took this long - I don't know why they didn't do it this way from the start.

Wait, are photo passes really happening this time? Google has made a couple of blog posts announcing the feature, but I've been regularly checking for the last several months and haven't seen it. It was a nice feature of the original Google Wallet that was removed in one of the rebrands, I'd really like it to actually be back instead of just "coming soon" (not that soon)

And then a whole bunch of them will turn around and vote for anti-LGBTQ+ Republicans because "They're for the economy" (please ignore how the economy actually performs under Republican control)

Hasn't Android had a thing for a while where it gives update priority to people who manually check for updates? Like, my phone (7a) didn't say an update was available, but then I clicked the "Check for update" button, and now it said Android 14 is available.

So I don't think anyone who really wants the update soon needs to sideload the OTA, just check for an update and you'll probably get it.

Is there any mirror for this? I don't know if this has been posted to some other site as well, but the web site seems to be overloaded with traffic right now and I can't see the article.

Thanks, that's close, and has all the filterable options I was looking for. However, it seems more tilted towards "individual cars that are for sale in your area now", while I was thinking "models that fit our criteria so we can order one for delivery in the future". It's useful for looking at options, but doesn't list things that aren't available here right now.

 

We're probably going to be buying a new car in the next year or three, and I'd be interested in getting an electric vehicle if we can find one that works at a price we can afford. I haven't been super into the details of all the electric vehicles available now (and soon), mostly just scanning headlines and reading articles on tech websites that caught my attention. I was looking for a website with a filterable list of all the electric vehicles that are available, and I found the Electric Car Selector and the Electric Vehicle Database. Both of which seem to do what I want, but both seem to be Europe based, which doesn't help me a lot since I'm in the United States. Are there any similar websites with filterable lists of electric vehicles for cars available in the United States?

The United States. And I've been checking for it since it was originally announced at the beginning of June. And.... I guess another announcement means it's not dead. Yet.

When will Google Wallet Pass photo import actually go live? It was announced over three months ago, and I've been checking for it ever since. Will this announcement mean it's actually going to show up in the next day or three, or will I be checking in vain for several more months?

Existing beta users, what say you? Have the latest betas been stable enough to install on my daily driver? Are there a lot of useful advantages over Android 13? If I've waited this long to install the beta, should I just stay on 13 until the official release?

For the users that upvoted/commented on this, I'd just like to note that it looks like an issue has been created and a fix is ready to get merged in.

 

I have my default sort set to "Hot" inside lemmy.world. When I open Jerboa, it shows posts from my subscribed communities sorted by "Hot", like it's supposed to. However, whenever I open a community, it show the posts sorted by "Active", and I have to switch to "Hot". This is different from the main web site, which uses my default sort when opening a community. Changing the sort inside the app doesn't change anything - the next time I open any community, it's sorted by "Active".

It would be nice if Jerboa was fixed this so communities were sorted by my default sort by default. I've made (simple) Android apps before, so I can try looking into it. But mostly I don't know the appropriate way to add an issue so it gets tracked and fixed eventually.
