  • Yeah... I'm not sure that's a good monetization model... I feel like even the standard taking a small cut of every transaction is a better idea than that :/

    It feels really overly punishing for small artists while being very reasonable for established larger artists, which sucks

  • A truely shameful number. More than you could possibly imagine. 🥲

  • LOL You probably typed this on a device made in China.

    Yes, I'm aware, and I'm quite happy with said phone. But it's still a real aspect of consumer perception that Chinese automakers will have to overcome

    Though as others have mentioned, regulatory protectionism is likely a much bigger hurdle.

    My point wasn't to say that Chinese manufacturing=bad, I was just reflecting on the fact that we see lots of articles with these sorts of predictions, and they often ignore a lot of what it would take for their predictions to come true.

    What I really want is repairable, consumer friendly electric cars, but cheaper more accessible electric cars would be a really big win too, regardless of whether they're manufactured in china.

  • If it manages to be a good, reliable, reasonably well built car on top of that price tag and technical achievement that'd be dope

    Only time will tell if they manage it. But we've seen a ton of predictions along these lines, kind of ongoing. If China wants to compete internationally they'll have to overcome the consumer stigma around Chinese manufacturing and also make something that truly competes with the existing auto industry

    But affordable, decent quality electric cars would be rad!

  • Not autism but ADHD and social anxiety and I struggle with this so much 🥲

    I've gotten a lot better with it though :)

  • Fuck yeah 😊

    I'm glad it was a great time!

  • I saw this on Mastodon and saved it for later, thank you for posting it here so I didn't forget it

    This is was a really lovely read.

  • Aw hell yeah! I just saw they were gonna be at open sauce, was that this weekend?

  • Lmao, the sandwich guy is so funny to me

  • It still kills me that she can only be romanced by men

    While I am these days masc identifying, look at her, she's so lesbian 😭 unfortunately she didn't like me anyway, I was too much of a boyscout 🥲

  • I mean bots and humans play pretty differently in a lot of games. I'm not much of a chess person but I could absolutely see you being good at defeating one playstyle and struggling with another

    I'd just think you need more practice against people, and you'll learn how to play against that playstyle too

  • Yeah I'd like to buy a couple things from their shop to support them, I just don't have any money for things other than strict necessities right now

    When I have a job I'd like to pick up some of their stickers and a magnet for my car. I'd say a hat too since their hat looks really nice, but I just mended a hat I'm really happy with so I don't have need for another

    Eventually I'd love to make ongoing donations, it's just not in the cards for today

  • This is something I could really stand to work on. Love seeing discussion of it :)

  • That's incredible!

    The real question is how many it will take before the democratic party will pay attention to it

    Edit: I misread, but still awesome news!

  • Love the super dramatic pose and fore-shortening!

  • I don't watch tv or know anything about the companies involved but now seems like a productive time not to support then if you're currently doing so :)
