Not all “fun driving” is reckless driving. Endangering other people is never right of course. But the majority of people with car hobbies are very safe drivers.

If driving is not really your interest, that’s totally fine. I don’t personally see much appeal to it either. But that doesn’t mean you should yuck other people’s yum.

If the goal is to completely phase out ICE vehicles, shouldn’t we be welcoming technology like this? Some people are eager to embrace electric vehicles, which is great. Other people are more hesitant for many reasons.

If someone doesn’t want to buy an electric car because they’d have to give up a manual transmission (which many people prefer), this technology might change their mind. More people would buy electric cars.

And if you don’t really care about having a manual transmission in your car, then you can just ignore this technology altogether and buy a regular EV. Which is exactly why this article comes across so strangely - the author is complaining about tech that doesn’t really affect them whatsoever.

The author of this article just seems to fundamentally misunderstand (or deliberately ignore) why people like to drive. Just a lot of, “I don’t like it so nobody should.”

The backend is rust! The frontend is typescript with a react-type framework. So feel free to pitch in on the frontend if you are familiar with TS!

I am going to be honest, i don’t really know either, I just included it in my example because I know it’s federated

I think it’s a P2P YouTube alternative?

Kbin, Mastodon, Peertube, anything in the Fediverse adheres to ActivityPub standard, which is the protocol that all of these sites use to communicate.

This infographic can explain better than I can:

Not a stupid question at all!

Right now, lemmy.ml is the biggest Lemmy instance and the “flagship” site. There are several other Lemmy instances across the internet. They are all connected with each other - or “federated” - meaning each instance can see all of the posts of any instance it’s federated with. Since every instance is federated with each other, you will get the same content no matter where your account is. So even though you are on lemmy.world, you can see everything that is posted to lemmy.ml.

E.g. even though I’m from lemm.ee, i still saw your post!!

Or: ✅ are you a parent who gives their child permission to access this site?

This reminds me of those website ads that’d tell you to ask your parents first.

This doesn’t auto archive your image. It’s only if you click on one of those archive links that it’s archived.

From what I’ve heard this is (at least somewhat) fixed in the upcoming 0.18 release, which should be coming in the next several days

This is all hearsay though so don’t quote me

It does, so does ‘New’. But it makes all of the other posts jump around when you try to click on stuff. Not advised

!mlemapp@lemmy.ml is an iOS lemmy app that’s in development. I think you have to jump through a few hoops to sign up but I’ve heard good things.

I heard the “aah” reading your comment 😅

Hang out here? Hopefully we can get this place going…

But also “The Tim Traveller” is a good binge for Tom Scott-esque videos
