Something I realized on Mastodon years ago (well before the Twitter/X thing) is it quickly doesn’t matter so much to me how many active users a platform has. A platform is good enough if there’s some activity, and I like being there. Lemmy was already something I checked when I saw only a handful of new posts a day.
Anyway, that’s just my perspective. I’m not too concerned about downtrends of active users.
There really needs to be more than a 5s penalty for intentionally running a driver off the road like Hamilton did. In the end no consequences for him, while Piastri’s race was ruined. Total simracing move from Lewis.
That lemmy.world community explicitly ALLOWS spoilers. So if you get annoyed by spoilers like I am, that community is worse. At least this community on lemmy.ml has a rule against them… Technically anyway…
There’s another F1 community on lemmy.world which explicitly allows spoilers. I think it’s great people have a choice between communities with slightly different rules. So it’s doubly disappointing if people ignore the spirit of this community and post spoilers anyway.
Yeah I appreciate the post for discussion, but I subscribe to this community specifically because of rule number 1: “No spoilers in post titles”
Primus sucks!
A few more:
I had the same reaction, “How did I miss this back in 2021?”
According to the article they had to derate their ranges by 3-5% or so. Cory is talking about the range being less than half of the estimated one. I think we would’ve seen thousands of stranded Teslas around here if that were really the case. So I remain doubtful.
FWIW I suspect most of these “omg why is my range suddenly gone!” complaints with Tesla to be exactly the same as with all other EVs: Very low temperatures, or towing. You’ll find plenty of people complaining about every model and make of EV because consumers expected to have the advertised range even though they’re towing a trailer or are driving through a freezing mountain pass. Unfortunately EVs just don’t handle this very well.
I never fully understood this Reuters range investigation. I have had a Tesla Model 3 for many years now, and it tells me I can go, say, 290 miles on a full charge. When I plan a long road trip, it figures out I need to stop at a charger after about 275 miles so I have a few percent left. So I drive the 275 miles, get to the charger with roughly that amount of % charge left, charge my car and keep on going. If I really only had 150 miles of range, there’s no way I would’ve ever reached that charger. I’ve done trips like this many times now. In my experience the advertised range is more or less realistic, and this is easily provable with any car.
Is it a quality control issue? Are people being confused by the massive effect temperatures have on EV range? It doesn’t seem like the major conspiracy it’s made out to be. Mishandled though, probably.
You’re probably on Firefox with DNS over HTTPS enabled. The folks who run archive.today intentionally block Cloudflare’s DNS for some reason…
Yeah probably not a future WDC. Sainz and Bottas are successful drivers in my book though. And we’ve had a fair amount of underperforming rookies these past years so seeing Piastri fighting near the front and keeping out of trouble is pretty cool.
What a brilliant first lap from Piastri. Aggressive, precise, clean. I hadn’t paid too much attention to him this year, but it’s starting to look like he has the promise of a successful F1 career.
I did forget about that momentarily 🤦♂️. It was an injustice.
Yeah, and I think we can all agree that was a very bad thing.
For context: The UK and US did not ban German classical music during WW1 and WW2, and works by Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, Brahms etc were performed and broadcast on radio.
Unsurprisingly the Nazis did censor a lot of music. Don’t be like the Nazis is the lesson, I guess.
One way they differ from Reddit is your upvotes and downvotes are public. Lemmy might not show this information, but other software like kbin does.
Hmm, so far I think I still liked Reddit’s algorithm better. Somehow it always managed to combine top posts from huge communities (news, videos, etc) with small niche interest communities on the same timeline. Hot on Lemmy feels almost like a random selection of posts to me. What people post here is good, but the way it’s selected and sorted doesn’t feel quite as meaningful to me.
I haven’t watched any pre-race coverage for years. I don’t feel like I’m missing out.
There’s a pretty good reasoning for this in the article:
“an independent third-party committee had found evidence of tampering with safety tests on as many as 64 vehicle models, including those sold under the Toyota brand.”
