What's rather interesting is that the automotive industry lobbied for these changes to be made.
Now they were made and the automotive industry is complaining that they cause the companies to lose money.
Well, all the better for the environment, I guess. Less cars i traffic means less energy consumpted.
Well, its admin is Russian and joined Lemmy around when the Russia was cranking up its troll efforts in 2023. Or, here he at least claims that he is Russian: https://lemmy.world/post/76070 .
Also, the letter "Z" is used in the Russia in the same meaning as the swastika was used in Nazi Germany. No Russian would call himself "ArtemZ" in year 2023 without meaning that he is proud of Putin. And if you are a big fan of MAGA-ism, why do you choose a nickname that promotes Putin instead of one that promotes Trump?
You can also just read what he has been writing with his previous accounts. And how he first was talking good about the Russia and then bad. Depending on what he figured would work best for MAGAts.
Well, at least that line went without a dinosaur reference.
It's a good.beginning!
In a different part of this same city. I have children who have lives that I cannot break by moving away from here just now.
The "Yes, Republicans" and "Yes, Democrats", are answers that do tell something, though. You can make much out of those two.
Hm, yeah. Metallica does kind of sound like Beyonce, when you give it a thought! :)

Come on, isn't maga.place a Russian information operation? It's not founded by MAGA people, but by a foreign power whose goal is to pose as MAGAts in order to expand the gap within USA's population.
Hehe, the main reason I like travelling by hitchhiking is precisely the unknown people. They often have stories to tell I'd never hear elsewhere. On how bees are grown or on how over-wide transport is escorted properly. (Or: How to behave if the fuel truck I'm on crashes and catches fire. Including knowing that I'm legally not allowed to be on that truck when it's loaded. As it was 🤣)
Or about selling insurances. Or importing crankshafts for boat engines. (yes, I really did meet a person specialized on that!)
Of course, I've heard almost everything a truck driver might tell about their profession, and each thing at least five times already, so that part is a bit boring. But, the trucks do have their own feeling that is very nice!
And then there's the whole thing of getting invited to people's homes. And that can be very interesting in foreign culture areas! I would know much less about the life in Kazakhstan if my driver hadn't invited me to their home and fed me traditional Kazakh food!
Most do, many don't.
Most blind people are not told by anybody that you can use a computer in text form, because most sighted people don't know you can. The user experience is on a whole another level when you have an interface that is basically tailored to you, instead of using something made for people with wildly different abilities than yours! At least, when I watch my friend browse the web in those two formats, the difference is daunting.
It's not okay to block them from using an otherwise much better option. Even if not everyone knows about the better way.
The same has happened in something like 25 % of countries, and they haven't gotten sanctioned for that.
Most of our diamonds and cobalt and cocoa come from countries that have similar problems as USA now does.
Since all real people accessing the site will be doing so through a browser, which has JavaScript built in
Many blind people don't, because for blind people a text-based interface makes a LOT more sense than a graphical user interface. And the text-based browsers don't precisely excel on JavaScript.
(But, who cares about some blind people anyway?)
You also have to take rather extreme measures in order to become a billionaire.
