You don't get the point of MagSafe?

I have a Pixel Stand and a Quad lock MagSafe wireless charger.

The Pixel stand requires me to place the phone perfectly, and sometimes if I'm half a millimeter off, it'll tell me to align the phone better.

The MagSafe Quad lock snaps into place with magnets and gets full speed charging with no chance of it becoming misaligned.

Would you prefer a screwdriver with a magnetic head, or without? Do you like when your screws fall off?

I almost use it exclusively to chat with people via RCS. And next year when Apple adds RCS support, it'll then be exclusively RCS.

Pretty much none of those brands exist in Canada, or are extremely uncommon. Not to mention the cold weather makes our fuel economy even worse.

Ya I don't know why I'm being down voted for saying what my cars get. Never said anything better didn't exist, just asked which other cars get less.

I fucking hate Lemmy. I asked a question and I'm downvoted. Fuck this place. There's no way to have a god damn discussion here.

I've never seen a 3 cylinder vehicle in my life lol.

What? A pickup uses 15-28 l/100km.

A Silverado uses 15MPG, according to GM themselves. That's like 16l/100km

I'd love to know which cars you drive with 5-6 l/100km lol

My best vehicle is 10. My worst is 28. Unless you're a hybrid, I don't know of a single vehicle doing 5-6l/100km

By comparison Lemmy has 30,000 active users and steadily dropping.

It's actually pretty funny how much of an echo chamber Lemmy can be. All I see is positive comments about how Lemmy is so great and growing, and Twitter is dead! Meanwhile it's the opposite. Twitter is still very much alive, and Lemmy is becoming a small cul-de-sac echo chamber.

My Lemmy app lets me tag people, which I use to tag people who are rude to others, nice to me, helpful, racist, etc, just so I can remember who was nice and who wasn't nice to interact with, and I literally see the same handful of people in every thread, and the front page of "everything" is filled with the same people making every thread.

Same with Reddit. We all thought Reddit was dead, and, well.. it isn't. Some days I really regret getting IP banned for shilling out Lemmy. Plenty of communities I really miss from Reddit that just simply won't work on Lemmy, because of how Lemmy is so FOSS centric.

Because while the concept isn't too difficult to understand once it's explained to you, it's not easy as going to "Mastodon and signing up".

The different servers, having to remember other people's instances along with their username (for example, you can't just say "omg check out Jack Froth on Mastodon! He's so funny!", because where? What instance? Who is it?

Not to mention Mastodon, much like Lemmy, dropped the ball hard when it came to onboarding during the peak interest. When you downloaded the app, you had to manually type in your instance, username, and password, which you had to go to an instance in your web browser to sign up for first.

Now Mastodon gives you the option to sign up like a regular app and it'll pick a default server for you. Way more friendly, but no one cares, because they already have the bad confusing taste in their mouth.

Then comes the community. Twitter is extremely toxic, but somehow Lemmy and Mastodon are worse. I know a few people I follow have recently discussed wanting to leave Mastodon because the Mastodon community attacks them, saying they don't want them there, because they have a successful YouTube channel. The type of people that the fediverse attracts are FOSS users, and FOSS users can be really.. particular.

I've been attacked on both Lemmy and Mastodon because I made some pro-windows comments. It's pretty exhausting. The hard pill to swallow is that the fediverse isn't accepting and isn't kind towards "normal" people.

Reminds me of an app I downloaded the other day to help plan routes. They asked for my cars "KPL".

Like what? Who in the world says KPL? It's l/100KM.

While I'm aware that some places may use KPL, it just seems very American to go "hey, we use MPG, so they must use KPL".

Pretty much every messenger I know is different. That one straight up looks like WhatsApp, down to the colour scheme and background.

Is that because they just aren't making them because no one can afford them?

I just paid $18,000 for an 8 year old base model Jeep Patriot with 210K.

Car market is fucked.
