Tesla is already pulling back Supercharger plans after firing team
  • This is bad for us too, because cars were already being developed with NACS since CCS “lost the war” in the US. What kind of uptake will those cars have with a network that has completely stopped growing because manbaby decided to take his toys and go home?

    The auto manufacturers will blame everything but the fact that most EVs are overpriced and overcomplicated to compensate for them being ultra-reliable and no longer in need of constant maintenance. This country already killed EVs once, don’t put it past capitalism to try a second time.

  • The Fallout show's been a pleasant surprise
  • I shared your frustrations and tried to watch it for free online, only for the stream to fail after 14 minutes. Since I was then hooked, I fired up Prime and binged the whole thing. The first episode did not have any ads for me, and I maybe saw 4 pre-roll (36-second spots) over all eight. I’m not in any way saying it’s acceptable, but it was minimal. For this show I felt it was absolutely worth it. However you get to see it, it’s a great TV show.

  • Upgarding past 1.8
  • FWIW I have the Voyager PWA installed on my phone and despite daily messages that support ended two days ago, I can still browse Lemmy. I don’t plan on updating, in case that is what finally breaks it.

    edit: as of March 22, Voyager stopped showing me content on any server with 18.x software, including my login credentials, which I can only assume means it is useless for browsing Lemmy. Edited with Memmy on iOS.

  • Frequent/Long-Term use of the Apple Vision Pro may rewire our brains in unexpected ways
  • Hey Business Insider, I missed your previous article “Frequent/Long-Term use of the smart phone may rewire our brains in unexpected ways”

    (This is not criticism of OP, I just think the premise by BI is silly when we are currently reaping the effects of smart phone addiction and ubiquity.)

    Technology addiction is very real but I’m not worried about the $3,500 headset that will never reach consumer saturation at that price point. Be careful out there with anything you buy or consume.

  • Canada faces declining EV interest, report shows, despite push to boost sales
  • I am with you! I first dipped my toe into the EV pool in 2020 when gas was at a modern era low, so EVs weren’t exactly flying off dealer lots. I only drove my ICE to keep the gas from going bad. Ended up selling the ICE and buying a second EV with a bigger battery and longer range. I’ve taken it on four road trips since March, and people don’t know what to think when I tell them I pay less for a full charge than most people do a single gallon of gas.

    I think the best way to shift the apprehension is that home charging is the future, and you really only need to worry about infrastructure when you are going out of town. It’s a lot easier to put chargers on lampposts than it is to put gas stations every few miles, but oil lobbyists are making sure everyone is absolutely terrified of electrification.

  • [BotW] Having a hard time getting started.
  • If fighting out in the open is not your cup of tea, you need to get to the shrines as soon as possible to unlock some very valuable tools. Remember that enemies can see and hear you, so if you want to sneak around encounters, keep an eye on that pink squiggly line for how much noise you are making. And above all else there is no right or wrong way to play this game.

  • Stardew Valley Expanded exceeded its creator’s wildest dreams
  • I'm not sure what you're saying here ... 1.6 is an upcoming full game update for Stardew that will add even more content, which he was simultaneously developing with Haunted Chocolatier. They are a very small independent operation, and game development takes more time the fewer employees you have. The fact that they have continued improving the game for 7 years adding free content at the original price point is actually quite remarkable.

    The 1.6 update addresses the ability to create add-ons (mods) more easily, which will aid efforts in the modding community to create things like Expanded with less fussing about in third party programs and tools which currently allow them to work.

  • Bought my first Steam Deck after seeing the deep discounts on refurbs...what should i know as a first time Steam Deck/PC gamer?
  • Just because a game says it won't work on Deck doesn't mean it is true. They just haven't tested thousands of games to verify compatibility. Sometimes it is as easy as getting and selecting a very specific Proton version, but other more involved fixes may be necessary. When in doubt, search "[game] + Steam Deck" to see if someone else has tried and succeeded (or failed).

  • US local elections on Tuesday
  • These off-season elections are still important for a variety of reasons, including those that OP posted, but also some locales have already enacted voter registration pruning policies where if you fail to participate in X elections, they can remove your active voter status. Imagine not being eligible to vote for president in 2024 because you thought the local school bond issue wasn't important this year.

    Register for early mail-in voting if you are able – they send your ballot to your house, along with guidebooks for the issues on the ballot. If that is not enough (or not provided by your state), find publicly-funded or nonprofit articles on the issues, such as PBS, NPR, or Ballotpedia to give you the rundown of the legalese they sometimes use to confuse the voting public. When you have voted (read the instructions carefully, you don't want your vote thrown out because you forgot to sign the envelope, or missed a deadline), you just stick it in the provided return mailer and drop it off at any outgoing mail box, or even a ballot dropoff in some places.

    Additionally, ignore those road signs you see from July to November. They are massively funded by both sides, and often reduce important issues to tiny memorable phrases and/or fear responses.

    Your vote still matters, now more than ever.

  • [FIXED] Bug Report: iOS - replying to a comment results in replying to the main post instead
  • just kidding I was on the old app at the time and the new one won't even show me all the comments in this post, nor any new posts in the Memmy community. This was not ready for release ☹️

    edit 2: the app but also none of my web instances are showing new posts at !memmy@lemmy.ml BUT the comments on this post are still not loading. I can only see this comment through my own account page. Load more comments only shows 3 out of the 9 total and I confirmed nobody in this thread is on my block list so no clue why the comments are not showing. iOS 17.1 on iPhone 15 if the devs manage to see this.

  • Well, time to radically change who I am!
    1. Stop listening to or caring what other people think about your interests. They are your interests.

    2. Consider not judging people (Swifties) the same way you have been judged for yours. Taylor isn't your vibe, that does not mean she is overrated.
