  • Ignore the fake stick shift, what the hell happened to Toyota? They used to make reliable, economic, no-bullshit cars. They invented (or popularized) the hybrid.

    So Toyota missed the EV trend. We’d all be crazy rich now if we had predicted the rise of Tesla, so I guess this one can be forgiven.

    I’m not a car-enthusiast. What I want from a car is less controls and distraction. A stick shift is more work for the driver, but logical. It exists for a reason. You can argue that automatic is a better solution for the problem, but when you learned to drive a manual, it works.

    Also, 99% of the time, the stick works the same one any model from any manufacturer. It is expected.

    I don’t get why people would want such gimmicks. The Toyota fake stick may be extreme and doesn’t fit the brand image at all; but many carmakers tend to treat EVs as toys; not real cars…


  • The Software lemmy+jerboa does the job. It’s basic and misses a lot of features that one would ideally want, but it’s good enough.

    I’m enjoying the back-to-the-roots vibe of early reddit or early internet that comes with lemmy.

    Now, it’s ask about content and how the communities will form in the ecosystem. Federation is nice, but wilm people actually find the communities relevant to them.
