Are they supporting it so that they can gimp it?

We support the right to repair! Starting now all keycaps will be replaceable. Anything on the motherboard is off limits though or the display or the battery or the ports or the camera.

Does cutting their fleet mean they stopped operating or they reduced the size of their fleet?

One of the crashes was a car running a red light and hitting the Cruise vehicle.

Cruise and Waymo have self-driving cars, without safety drivers, driving around cities right now.

We know what hardware it takes - More than just cameras and some premapping is required.

I thought after 2008 that we had finally gotten over our large car addiction.

They’re so addicted to SUVs now that Ford doesn’t even make a car other than the Mustang. Their entire lineup is SUVs.

Here are the subs I used to go to…

• Askgaybros - Doesn’t exist on the fediverse
• Gaybros - exists but barely gets one post per day
• Politics - I’m banned because of my username, but plenty of subscribers. Interestingly I can’t figure out how to contact a moderator to get unbanned. The information page doesn’t list who the moderators are. I had a similarly “offensive” name on Reddit for a decade and never got banned from r/politics
• askreddit - plenty of subscribers on Lemmy
• Android - plenty of subscribers on Lemmy
• Linux - plenty of subscribers on Lemmy
• Economics - maybe a post or two a day

When I go back to Reddit, on desktop, all of those are operating as they normally do, with no perceptible change on the amount of posts.

There’s two problems…

1. There is no easy to use singular Reddit replacement. (The fediverse is not easy to use to normal people.)

2. Reddit is such a large social media site now that all the nerds getting angry and leaving doesn’t matter. 10 years ago this change would have killed Reddit, but now that normal people like my mom are on Reddit they don’t give a shit about using the official Reddit app, in fact they were probably already using it.

Google+ didn’t work because they didn’t push it hard enough and they made it an invite only beta instead of just allowing everyone to join.

Yes - I’m being serious they didn’t push it hard enough. If you had a Gmail or YouTube account it should have just instantly become a Google+ account in some sort of private mode so it doesn’t inadvertently leak your info.

If they would have just pushed it out to everyone, day one, mandatory, no opt out, then we’d still have Google+ today.

Like if they made Google Talk the default messaging client on Android we’d still have Google Talk. I don’t recall Apple making iMessage an optional messaging app you don’t have to use.

Other than GPS coordinates, what’s the problem?

It’s pretty standard stuff that every app collects.

I’m actually asking what specific thing is the problem.
