IMHO, this is more of a problem for Mastodon, not Lemmy. Right now Threads is about individuals, not community groups.

And all 3 times the Waymo was rear ended by a human driver.

Maybe that will happen, but I feel like Sony has stronger studios in its portfolio. And I say that as someone that bought an Xbox Series console and Game Pass.

Microsoft has been bad luck Brian over the past 2 years. Their acquisitions have pushed out a lot of meh games. The good exclusives haven’t been there, and the cross platform games that are made by MS just aren’t good enough to really make GamePass feel amazing.

Microsoft has been amazing about buying big names that have some real stinkers loaded in the shoot.

VW group just announced that they’re doing that as well.

At the end of the day, this was kind of a different legal battle. Google negotiated one-off deals with big tech companies, and some of those companies are getting better deals than their competitors.

Apple doesn’t appear to do that. The marketplace has one set of rules that apply to everyone. Spotify doesn’t have different a AppStore contract than Tidal.

For all we know, Google may have won this case if they simply made everyone abide by the same contract. Playing king maker kind of fucked them.

Adobe arguably has less shady enterprise licensing, but not better individual licensing.

That said, I would argue that the main reason Figma has become the tool of choice is because Figma was able to move quick and build out useful features faster than Sketch or Adobe. That’s what put them in the lead for UX tools.

Their bate and switch licensing shenanigans are a new thing, and something that came after they secured market dominance. The shady enterprise licensing stuff is a way to milk existing customers for more money.

Technically it’s a clone of Sketch.

Both Figma and XD copy the interaction models, layout, and key commands established by Sketch.

Sketch dominated the UX design space before Figma took over.

Adobe products can be subscribed to à la cart.

But who knows, Adobe might have left their licensing model alone. It was very successful.

And that said, Figma’s licensing is shady as fuck once you get into organizational licenses. I’d honestly prefer Adobe’s model from an enterprise perspective. Figma gives organizations free tools for years, then starts charging for them once a company has adopted them. And admins can’t block the adoption of tools they know Figma will eventually charge for.

Most internal combustion cars tend to hover around 8-9 seconds with a 0-60. Something with some kick was often considered sub 6 seconds.

Telsa prides itself on fast acceleration. Their slowest car is in the 5’s, but many hover in the 3-4 second band, which is quite quick. Telsa’s slowest base model car is often performance that many brands would have for their top performing internal combustion car.

It is often easier to make electric cars that accelerate quickly, but not every brand has decided to make their EV soccer mom cars launch like a corvette. A base Kia EV6 will 0-60 in 7.2s and Ford’s Mach E Mustang does 6.1s.

Because Linux is great and Apple sucks.

There is no real need right now. Lemmy is focused on following communities, not individuals. This is more of an issue for Mastodon than Lemmy.

It might never be an issue for Lemmy. Threads would need to start organizing people around communities, or Lemmy would need to encourage people to follow individuals (something Reddit promoted and no one cared about)

Correct. This is an issue for Masto, not Lemmy. It may never be an issue for Lemmy for all we know. Lemmy is focused on following activity pub communities not individual people.

Well, right now Meta is pushing, not pulling. Meaning, Threads content can be displayed on Masto, but not the other way around.

IMHO, the bigger threat is having Threads content completely dominate other activity pub clients. Other clients / communities could get dependent on it. Then Meta is basically a drug dealer with leverage.

Data collection doesn’t bother me too much. I’m not going to install their client and all of the behavior trackers that come with it, and my activity pub content is already freely available to query on the internet. If they want it, they already have access to it. Everyone does.

To be fair, Tesla / Musk spend a LOT of time talking about how they’re autonomous driving product are critical for reducing accidents and saving lives. Also, there isn’t a lot of public quantitative data around this major recall. That’s why they’re getting the headline.

Maybe autopilot is great, and it’s the non-autopilot drivers that are terrible, but right now, the brand has net accident rate that rivals a company that sells massive rolling blind spots to people who love Calvin pissing stickers.

Could also be things like fast acceleration pulling the numbers up. A lot of people are going to gun it if you give them something that can do 0-60 under 4 seconds. Those are numbers that were relegated to expensive sports cars a decade ago, not a grocery getter.

It’s it the Ram that’s the problem, or the driver that also likes to cover the Ram in Infowars bumper stickers?

The 1958 Edsel is the reigning champ in Cuba.

The fact that Ram drivers are a close second is hilarious. I guess there is some truth to all the jokes about Rams being driven by aggressive idiots.

Well, specifically, a market monopoly for UX design tools. They already have a pretty strong stranglehold over other creative disciplines. Illustration, photography, graphic design, print publishing, etc.

Like UX, there are lots of smaller alternatives, but Adobe’s apps dominate the pro space.

So, does the Adobe XD team hang around now? Adobe was signaling that XD was going to get axed for Figma.
