Capitalism is caustic. A company positioning itself to ride the success of others to maximize their own profits is too reminiscent of the music industry for my tastes. Secondarily, I’ve gone through this so many times with so many other platforms. The “maximally grow the user base” phase is the beginning of the enshitification process. It’s much easier in my mind to abandon ship at this phase, rather than help them build a bigger mouse trap with my ad revenue, to ensnare the next hapless fool.

I will say it’s a little ironic you mentioned Veritasium considering the channel was literally bought into by a corporation focused and maximizing revenue of YouTube channels. Good content, sure, but I think it’s indicative of exactly what’s wrong with the platform as a whole.

Also, to everyone and no one, if you like the content from Technology Connections, Veritasium, etc., AlphaPhoenix is likely your speed, too.

The projected “battery only” range seems the same, so maybe not? It’s all just dreams on paper at this point, we’ll have to see what actually makes it to market.

Looks like they are copying the RAM strategy and slapping a generator onto it to boost range. Still a fully electric drivetrain, no idea on overall reliability with that mix of components. https://newatlas.com/automotive/ford-electric-f150-lightning-pickup-truck-range-extender-erev-2026/

The newer models already have the option to enable Google assistant and interface with it via a microphone in the remote control. Sounds like it’s no longer an optional feature and is being AI enshittified.

No way all of this over a paltry 680,000 gallons of water per… oh wow, really? Per acre?? WTF? Ok ok, but how many… HOLY SHIT, 90 million acres?! WTF?!

Dude that’s absolutely insane! ~61,000,000,000,000 gallons of water per year and that’s JUST America!

What does Fan Account mean?

Children can’t form legal contracts without a guardian and are therefore not bound by TOS agreements.

No one taught me how to fix a car or paint a fence, yet I can do both. So can countless others with no such training across literally the entire spectrum of human capability.

People who claim they don’t do housework because they ‘were never taught how’ are just feigning incompetence. I bet the vacuum becomes much less mystifying if I tie a $1000 prize to its successful operation, for example.

You say that every. single. time.

Man, I mean, that kind of is the ugly truth, isn’t it? Some people actually can excuse racism and pedophilia if it means there’s a shot at personal gain. I’m not surprised, really, just wholly disgusted.

Interestingly, the term Eidetic Memory didn’t arise until the 1920s, so this kinda checks out.

Honestly, this meme just legit helped me understand some of the tools in my CAD software.

If I had to guess, YouTube video uploads are down or at least stalling, and this is an easy way to juice the numbers before the next quarter. Content is content, after all, and line must go up.

Honestly thought South Park made them up, I had never heard of them before that. It’s beanie babies all over again.

Sure bud, Droopy McDroopFace is totally fine.
