Yeah this is just manufacturers self rating themselves. This is just like VW cars rating themselves as getting 5-10mpg better than their competitors, when really they were just measuring from the balls.
The up side is if they fail to meet those ratings then are the consumers entitled to some sort of compensation?
Btw, I love how Piefed shows comments from cross-posts. Every client should do it, helps make the fediverse feel bigger and more diverse.
16·20 hours agoTrump already said he’s going to make the farmers “responsible for these people” — Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QqdLW8K8Jg&list=RDNS8QqdLW8K8Jg&start_radio=1
He even called the farmers “owners”.
“Sure, Trump said it, but he didn’t mean it” and other such phrases that have already bitten people in the ass.
13·1 day agoCoMaps (unless they’ve diverged from Organic Maps already) only updates map info once a month. Once a month they “cut” whatever is latest on Open Street Maps (OSM) and update their database. if someone updates OSM today, you may not see it on CoMaps until the monthly update is available.
Because its always appropriate to remind the world what these cretins look like without filters:
6·6 days agoSeriously, apparently its difficult for some to call it as it is, but its no longer a legitimate war when you’re starving and bombing those seeking refuge. Shame on Nature, should be treated as propaganda.
1·8 days agogood article! thanks for that
Check out the gemini protocol: https://geminiprotocol.net/
It kinda fills that niche of the “old web”.
48·12 days agoACKSHUALLY back in their day they just got paid significantly more. Minimum wage hasn’t kept up with inflation and median pay hasn’t increased with productivity for the last 40 years.
13·16 days agoThreats against one person, sure, but don’t ignore the context in which this happened. Trump has emboldened racists and encouraged ICE to tear apart families. People who simply want to better their lives. Don’t get it twisted, this is state encouraged terrorism. Just because its against a single person doesn’t mean they don’t intend to terrorize the entire hispanic/latino community.
Piefed is both an instance (piefed.social) and back-end server software that allows anyone to run their own instance (list of various Piefed instances). It works on the same ActivityPub protocol as Lemmy and Kbin/Mbin so they all interoperate with each other.
One of the cool things I like about Piefed is it seems to join the comments of various instances in cross-posts. On Lemmy, you can see its crossposted, but you have to manually check them out to see any comments on others. One cool feature I like over Lemmy. There’s a few others, but I’d encourage you to check it out. You don’t have to commit if you don’t like it.
