Link to Bluesky user count.

Pretty cool to watch it in real time.

Temu is insanely popular. Don't underestimate this. Yes, it's pure crap, but people buy it. They earn bucks.

Meaning, it's not a valid argument to say it's crap, and then it's not a problem. Temu is a problem.

But then we have to start another discussion about the free market, because then Temu is valid.

Then what? Legit question, I don't have the answer to.

So the best thing you can do with a tree, is to cut it down and use it as materials, if we want to release as little CO2 as possible?

And ofc this depends on new trees being planted in its stead.

Britain has in no way done an exit. Going out of a trade and economic union has nothing to do with their military commitments.

Ah yes, and then uses Jesus' name in the same sentence as USA. The guy hated capitalism more than anything.

You're probably right. I encountered maybe 2 or 3 deers running out in front of my car so far, and I hit the breaks every time in pure reflex anyway.

Dodged them so far, but damn I'm scared I might hit one at some point.

Yeah, I heard about people dying in crashes with deers also. I just remembered we were taught this, and I just thought it might be programmed to ignore animals because of this.

But it's probably wrong, and as someone pointed out, it seems like it didn't even see the deer.

I hate Tesla as much as the next guy in here.

But I learned at my driving lessons that you shouldn't hit the breaks for animals running into your lane, because it can result in a car crash that's way worse. (think truck behind you with a much longer break length.)

Don't know if there's different rules.

It's great they start using these tools, but I hope they keep in mind that it needs much fine tuning before it's reliable enough.

You need to use a product in practice to make it better. But you don't need to rely on it from the start. They need to invest the time in implementation, and where it can be used and shouldn't be used.

Nice progress towards something good, but we're not there yet.

They never been as popular in Europe as in the US.

Still very big, but nothing like Facebook, Instagram.

No wonder Elon prefers fascist leaders vs left governments.
