BMW Is Giving Up on Heated Seat Subscriptions Because People Hated Them
HA, I read the title and thought "what is going on? I love my seat warmers" - I completely overlooked the word subscription because it is absolutely absurd that there would be an ongoing cost to the consumer for a feature that provides no ongoing cost to the manufacturer.

I have done this, and the only thing I regretted is not eating more olives.

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off
Maybe I am just an old nostalgic fart but I have games that I own that are over 30 years old that I still have access to and regularly play and that's how I like it.
I personally don't at all see any benefit to the consumer that subscription based gaming provides. Arguably you can access more games for less money, but if video streaming is anything to go by (increased prices, less content across more and more services, ads creeping back in etc), that value proposition won't last long.

Where are all of the reddit refugees these days?

I am no longer a Reddit refugee, I am a Lemmy citizen!

There is a drop in monthly active Lemmy users (from 65k to 57k)
Reply in thread
If the stats are accurate then this is not necessarily due to people being unhappy and leaving as both comments and posts are still stable - indicating that the lower active count are lurkers, duplicates or otherwise non engaging accounts.

That said, you can come up with statistics to prove anything! Forfty percent of all people know that.

Fediverse is 100% Decentralized or not?
Censorship is also decentralised which means no single entity will be able to completely control the information, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want without consequence of all the decentralised instances agreeing that particular information should not be shared. Decentralisation does not guarantee you an audience!

What are your best air fryer/oven recipes?
Brussels sprouts in the airfryer are amazing - but pretty much any vegetables go well, are quick, easy and healthy. If healthy is not your thing, anything in the frozen aisle (chips, hash browns, onion rings, chicken nuggets and fish fingers, etc) are also incredibly easy and always work.

People who back into parking spots: Why?
Safety - pure and simple. Visibility is much poorer in reverse an you are more likely to hit someone or something you can't see - and there a lots less potential hazards like cars zooming past or an errant pedestrian (especially children) in an empty parking spot than there will be in the pathway / roadway when it comes time to leave.

A cheese room. With lots of cheese. Different kinds, different ages and from different places. But still only cheese. I fuckin' love cheese!

What are some alternatives to bars that stay open late for folks that don't drink alcohol?
LAN parties (showing my age).
It depends where you live, but my go-to was 24 hr cafes and other food places, but there are also other activities like late night fishing, long drives (or rides), night photography, etc
