DeAngelo / Carolina trade held up by CBA clause
  • I am not super knowledgeable about this side of thing - but it seems like the teams' argument is that the Flyers signed DeAngelo a year ago and not the Canes, so this clause technically shouldn't apply. Letter of the law vs the spirit of it.

    We'll see what the league says. I would imagine that if the trade is put on hold, plans would change after the free agent market opens, and this doesn't end up happening.

  • DeAngelo / Carolina trade held up by CBA clause

    By the CBA, DeAngelo cannot return to Carolina within a year of his trade from the Canes, especially when salary is retained. The two teams are set to discuss with the league in Nashville, who could either sign off on the trade or force both teams to wait until July 9th.

    It's unclear whether the trade will still go through if the Flyers and the Canes are forced to wait.

    Automakers can’t quit manual transmissions so they’re cramming fake stuff into EVs
  • 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.

  • Automakers can’t quit manual transmissions so they’re cramming fake stuff into EVs
  • 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.

  • Is lemmy.world more active than lemmy.ml?
  • 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!!

  • Is it better if we have another site host images/videos to lessen server load?
  • In terms of server load (CPU) Lemmy uses a separate service for uploading / storing images (pictrs). It runs on the same server but in the grand scheme of things it's never a bottleneck. Typically static image uploads are cached so it's not much effort for the server.

    However uploading images direct to Lemmy does have a storage impact. I know my home instance (lemm.ee) has a 100kb size limit for uploads, others may do that too.

    If you're concerned about that aspect, you can use a separate image hosting service too. As long as the link in your post points directly to an image, it'll embed fine.
