Good tech is easy an intuitive. Computers got popular after you could use a mouse and got a gui. Ipods dominated over the competition because of how dumb easy it was to use. Reddit was easy to move to from Digg because it was pretty much a clone in how it worked. Zero learning curve.

Popular tech is almost always easy.

Your mother would ask you what the hell an "instance" was and then think that picking one meant she couldn't look at posts from any others.

Tell them to download the thunder app (it's very similar to many of the popular reddit apps) and just give them a list of the 10 most popular fediverse's to pick from to make an account.

I mentioned this like a year ago. Users will need their hands held to get them to easily come over.

Sodium ion is a dead end for ev. Heavy and not even remotely close to energy dense enough. It never will be.

Except the chevy volt is cheaper and has a longer range. Nissan has also done nothing with battery tech or chemistry. That's all been being advanced by Samsung, toyota and panasonic. There's nothing the leaf has to offer on a technology front, and there's no reason to buy one today. Even a decade ago it was a poor choice for 95% of the US market.

Our content is definitely on the low end for niche topics. Subs either don't exist, or there might be like 4 members.

Loops really seems like it sucks. You can't see how long any video is, there's no way to thumb down really bad videos, and about 80% of all the videos seem like "really bad videos". I never even used tik tok, but im sure it wasn't content similar or it never would have gotten popular.

Should been made illegal to ship massively flawed games that needed 0 day patches, but our system is corrupt and businesses are allowed to run the world.

Well sure it's racist, but it'd be more racist if they created the day and put it there solely out of spite.

I thought so too, but then reading the article actually made it a bit less racist than initial thoughts. They had been celebrating Lee in January a good 70 years before MLKJ got his day in January. Still racist, but I can see politicians being like "fuck it. We're not having two holidays a week apart from each other".

Also, wouldn't it be just as upsetting to racists in support of Lee as it is to non racists in support of MLKJ?

Took me 25 minutes to buy a $4 brake light bulb at wal mart one night. After tracking down an employee to track down another employee to meet me by the glass door. I'll never buy car bulbs there again. That portion of store is dead to me.

I'd ask the same about you, but you're also the one arguing it's a pointless product.
