I get the sentiment for sure and nothing looks worse than seeing 5 of them knocked over on a sidewalk but they were pretty nice. Here in Seattle it’s hilly as fuck so walking down a hill to downtown then scootering back up was nice. Hopefully a good bike share can replace them.

Every tech article I read nowadays I feel like has the appendix, “which is illegal in the EU.” Lol

The problem in the US is that the iPhone has a huge amount of the market and iMessage mostly does that already. For Android to counter that you have to use a 3rd party app, which further fractures an already smaller market. Or everyone could just use sms which is free with basically every plan nowadays, which gets you by.

Always interesting when I hear people’s families use something other than the default in the US. What started that? Were your parents always concerned about privacy? Did you somehow convince them to use that app? What about when they text someone who isn’t on signal, which is probably 90% of the US? I could get my family to download the app but I feel like it’s pointless because no one else uses it so they would just quit.

You can complement aspects of things while still not agreeing with them as a whole.

The article says they just hang nearby and take photos, which is kinda hard to prevent. Or just speed onto the base, which normally ends pretty badly for them.

Share this to scare a conservative

Freedom to manipulate and trick our consumers motherfucker 🦅

Just cut out reddit unless it’s information you legitimately need to know. Every time you’re mindlessly scrolling on lemmy and not seeing content and thinking to yourself, “I bet reddit would be better right now,” just turn off your phone and read a book. I’ve cut wayyy down on my phone time since I swapped and that can only be a good thing.

Work on klystrons.

Looks great. You planning on doing anything with the top part? Like maybe one of those canopies so she feels like a princess haha

Thanks for the compliment kind stranger!
