Check out the used market! The 2022-23s had an awesome facelift, plus the EUV version is just a little bigger mostly in the back seats

All fraud are shady things, but not all shady things are fraud. The prior commenter implied that all top corporations commit fraud (at least, that’s how I took it. It was worded a bit abstractly).

So, what fraud (not shady thing, not something you disagree with, but actual fraud) is Target committing? Or are we just trying to be edgy?

Ironically, the Chevy Bolt was a perfect car for that. Reasonably priced, no stupid gizmos like retracting door handles, Android Auto, actual buttons for controls… But of course GM killed it. A new version should come out eventually, but who knows if it’ll keep the spirit of their old Bolts. For now, the used market hit the sweet spot where it’s still a pretty modern car, but it’s gone through most of its depreciation from new so it’s pretty cheap. Especially with the tax credit.

Full disclosure: DC fast charging sucks on this car. On some pre-2022 models it’s non-existent. But it’s still excellent for commuting and medium-short trips!

What is that even supposed to mean? I go to Target, buy some soap, and go home. Somehow that’s fraud?

I’m not saying Target or any other corporation is free from their issues… But fraud isn’t necessarily one of them.

Now that you mention it, I want this too.

Looking around Roku’s site, I found this email address: AdsPR@roku.com

I’m planning on giving them a brief but firm “oh hell no” letter. I wonder how many others will do the same 🤔

I mean, that’s step 1? It’s not like they can do an instantaneous cutover, they’ll need to figure out what’s vital enough to deserve buttons, come up with a design/layout for that, find a supplier for them, get them in, start assembling the cars with them… Honestly they’ve probably already done a lot of that behind the scenes already before saying anything publicly. Point is, it’s not like there’s a button in the factory to start making cars with buttons instead.

Triangulation of what, exactly? GPS already triangulates your position based on what it receives from multiple satellites, yeah?

bragging with Windows supremacy

I don’t think that’s as common as you think it is. Most Windows users see Windows as part of the computer, a tool to get the job done. As a DIY’er (basically a tool normie) I don’t brag about the supremacy of my Kobalt tools, I just drill the damn hole

For me it’s some kind of cartoon with the caption “Best comic funny 🤣” and sometimes “funny short film” (even though it’s a picture)

Like, Meta has to know this is happening. Do they really think this is what will keep their userbase? And nobody would think it’s just a little weird?

You could put a price tag of eleventy billion dollars on something and say it isn’t unavailable. When you’re effectively handing over your business for it, it practically is.

Too little (probably), too late. The platform has been taken over by bots with AI slop and forwards from Grandma and that’s damn near all that shows up in my feed anymore. I really hope Bluesky catches on

Uh, yeah?

No machine can read my chicken scratches! Or human, for that matter. Including myself.

In all seriousness, this sounds intriguing but I couldn’t tell you what I’d use it for. When I write with a pen it’s usually a couple quick basic notes. Anything more involved and my typing skills are way better

$30 billion company want**'**s

Also, they should be clear that it’s $5 per month

Sorry, but if you’re capable of signing a $44 billion contract and the other party has a reasonable expectation that you’ll be able to produce that $44 billion, you’re capable of doing the same steps as someone who wasn’t “joking”. There is no “lol jk” exceptions in contracts.

And honestly, with everything he’s doing now with Xitter and influencing public policy, I believe he knew exactly what he was doing and the “joke” and “uh oh I didn’t mean it!” was part of that

I am friends with nobody here, even if someone was sympathetic.

I am, in fact, a programmer (old enough to have not learned any language as a child) and am well-aware that “!” means not in many languages. I also have enough self-awareness to realize that not everyone would make that connection, and figured someone may have hit the symbol button on their phone keyboard instead of shift and hit “!” instead of “A”. Somehow that seemed more plausible than “assume everyone knows programming syntax, even in a place like Lemmy, and choose to use that”

Fun fact: my job has made me dabble in a system so old and archaic, it uses “'” (single-quote, to save you a squint) as the “not” operator. “!” is used for newline.
