That really has nothing to do with the physical size of a country

Germany btw has a central car and driving permit registration.

How are you Americans doing car registration? As someone from another country it sounds a little bit crazy to not have a national car registry. Is this on the state level? And if someone from Texas is caught speeding in Arizona, police has to as there for the ID of the owner? Or is there no registry at all? And why shouldn’t states be able to collect a tax from their citizens?

Yes, you are looking at a social media post of the CEO of Tesla promoting the Cybertruck as being waterproof and being able to serve briefly as a boat, so that it can cross rivers, lakes & even seas that aren’t too choppy. So it’s not too stupid for someone to believe that the “wade mode” in his Cybertruck is allowing him to cross a lake

Yeah - they know that you are using the service a lot. They know that you are willing to pay. But they are not getting ongoing revenue from you. That is something no MBA manager CEO dude can accept. They will come for lifetime users

I mean … you’ve written 1100 comments here on Lemmy in three months. So … welcome to the asylum?

Yeah, he is 54. Which means that he has maybe two, three, or with good health care (that he can afford) four decades left on this planet. So if everything hinges on him without a successor, he’s doing something wrong.

Back when I used Twitter, that was totally possible. Even without being totally insane. In some areas Twitter did work like a giant unorganized chat room. You were able to discuss the current soccer games. Or current events. Breaking news. The local elections. I totally did write more than 50 tweets back in 2016 in the election night when Trump was elected or during the soccer world cups

After May 20, users will only be able to use their devices to read content that’s already downloaded. Once an older device is deregistered or reset to factory settings, it cannot be re-registered after May 20.

Which means: You can still read your books, but you are on borrowed time. If something goes wrong, you can’t access all the books you bought from Amazon in the last decades anymore with your current device. So jailbreaking makes sense and it is also important to crack the DRM on those books.

Not only traffic - Google is now able to kill every protest in the areas they are operating their Waymos. They can block streets or simply do an automated Tiananmen Square massacre by ordering their thousands of vehicles to drive at full speed through the protestors. They can also encircle protest camps like on Tahir square by simply driving around them at high speeds
