  • And I still can only get 0 like, 0 comment shaky cam video of a screen capture of ultra zoomed in tiktoks or blasting shitty electronika music at 100dB clipping all to hell with 2005 era Microsoft visualizer videos.

    Just like pixelfed, there is no way to discover anyone except the same 10-12 rotation of people they put in explore.

    I come back every month or two and swipe through 5-10 to see if anything has changed, but it never has. In the case of loops, the same number of creators, some of which haven’t posted a video for almost 8 months are “trending”? Maybe that is where the “active users” number comes from?




  • People haven’t caught on to the grift yet. One of the people in the committee who runs the tariff decisions literally runs a financial/law institution that since the tariffs started, has been contracting with companies to pay a portions (10, 20, 40%) of the tariffs to “ease the load on the companies” but they retain the rights, in the case of what is going on i.e. tariffs being recalled and paid back, to take 100% of the tariff payback.

    So a government official is steering the tariff policy to essentially steal money from companies with some alight risk of the tariffs not getting overturned. Crazy grift.


  • Cool project!

    A ton of aesthetic effort for a simple Dev board + enclosure and a vibe coding project, especially since arduino already has libraries for MQTT, speakers, etc… Photo displays & animations galore lol.

    Injection molding is much more of an art than simply CNCing a negative of your part and squirting some plastic in it. There is a reason that injection molding services often have around a 1000€ startup & molding fee.

    Plus a custom PCB means FCC/CE certification generally.






  • Had a 2023 VW ID4. They literally go out of their way to make your experience worse in many cases.

    They have an app, they can read locked state, but can’t lock the car.

    Their app/website makes you completely re-sign in and re-accept cookies every month or so that breaks any API usage mildly like HomeAssistant.

    The key unlocks the door if you walk to it, 50% chance to re-lock the door when you walk away without interacting with it.

    Can detect tire pressure, but they don’t tell you what it is, only if there is “pressure loss”

    Backup camera was horrific quality, especially the field of view of a telephoto camera, especially compared to my 2015 Nissan altima

    The entertainmrnt console was terible, extremely laggy, and Android auto was the worst experience. It would take between 2 and 15 minutes to connect to android auto with multiple different phones, and it would choose 1 app per phone to not display. My girlfriends’ was her maps app which is insane. Sometimes I would be at my destination before it would connect.

    Also putting a trailer hitch on it would have been like 1500-2000€…
