Stroll broke “black-and-white” racing rule and got no penalty, fumes Gasly
Coming back on track at that angle and speed and thus taking out gasly was some real bs. When stroll is bad, he's really aggravatingly bad.

Reddit's CEO really wants you to know that he doesn't care about your feedback
Honestly, we should just leave it behind and focus on making communities here better. They have every right to cut off their nose to spite their face on their own website. Let's learn from that for the future in contributing to making someone else's website great.

Reddit risks losing its identity in pursuit of profits
Reply in thread
The narratives you mention in your last para are completely true, that's what annoys me, IF they had engaged in good faith with users. As it is, it's like a shopping centre that's been free to enter saying "right, it's now €100 to enter and any underwear shops are closed to you unless you wear our uniform."
Just completely crazy prices for a poor service. No shit that's unworkable. Just be honest and say you want to bring those users in-house, just fucking say that rather than trying to gaslight everyone into believing that all these competent developers are all unreasonable arseholes who are screwing you, a multi-billion-dollar corporation over.

Red Bull to evaluate Ricciardo and “keep options open” for 2024
A large part of me thinks this is just to keep them in the news because ricciardo gets clicks

Connect 1.0.68 Released
Is anyone checking that this dev isn't actually three bots in a trenchcoat? The updates are suspiciously frequent and high quality.
(Thanks a lot, dude!)

What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation?

Excellent explanation, thanks.

What attack? (Sincere question)

lemmy.world doesn't seem to have many established NSFW communities; they appear to be in separate instances. Is there any benefit to this or anything stopping lemmy.world from having NSFW communities?
Reply in thread
This must play a huge role. Given how Lemmy works, illegal content is actively being hosted on your server, that's a huge risk, surely. I wouldn't touch hosting porn on any server I owned or administered with a ten foot pole.

Hyundai sets themselves apart as an anti-subscription car manufacturer
Nice to see market forces working! A crazy proportion of rideshare cars that I see are Hyundai Ioniqs, and those cars are run 24/7, apparently, in shifts by various drivers.

Mercedes expects stronger Austria F1 outing compared to Canada
I'm just worried that Red Bull are coasting just like the worst years of Mercedes dominance. All this time while other teams are frantically working to catch up, Red Bull are frantically working on the 2024 car.
How significant are the 'penalties' for winning? Are they enough to pull the leaders back and push the bottom of the table upwards?

Are there really so few car enthusiasts on this site? This sub seems to have such little traffic. What gives?
Reply in thread
Bit harsh your opinion touched a nerve apparently to get downvoted. I think you expressed yourself politely and sincerely and you may also be right. Reddit had years to cultivate subs by and for people who are not terminally online, and those are the people who will be slowest to adopt complicated fediverse tech.

I love cars, especially the old restored ones, or reading about people tinkering and troubleshooting. But I subscribe to fuckcars because I fucken hate literal vans being used in my city and clogging up the streets designed for less and smaller traffic. Those Chelsea tractors, as they call them in the UK can fuck right off. Fine em, tax em, whatever you need to do, sabotage their tyres, whatever. Fuck em.

Wabtec workers, day 23 on strike against a company that refuses to cover workers' basic needs (Photo credit: "UE Members 506" FB)
Take this in the friendly way it's offered: provide more information, the brief summary at that link is way too sparse for me to start slinging my own hard-earned money at. You've got a friendly audience here (I guess, on the whole), but nobody gives handouts unquestioningly. Publicising is great, but only if you provide proof and details. Good luck!

Do you prefer x264 or 265 HEVC?

From a place of ignorance: why is x265 better for 3d and not AV1?

Italy steps in to block Chinese control of tire giant

5% lol you're way off. If you're that far off for Spain, I have to wonder if your arse was also the source for the figures for the other countries.
