  I mean I very much want an electric truck just not for $70,000+, I need a a vehicle that can do the following:

  • Carry a 4 person family
  • Is reliable/newer/won’t break down
  • Can do trips to the hardware store/hold lumber/drywall/etc on occasion
  • Can move furniture/appliances on occasion
  • Can move hay/straw on a semi regular basis
  • Bonus points if I can take off road/on mountain trails

  If there was an affordable electric truck that could do this I would buy it, but I bought my (used) Tacoma for about $25k 4 years ago and I really can’t justify anything more expensive then that.

  So if they can bring electric trucks down in price, I will buy one, and I want it to look like a truck, I would never consider a cyber truck, thats beyond ugly.

  Ford lays off 700 who were building electric version of F-150 | CNN Business::Ford is laying off about 700 workers who build the F-150 Lightning, the electric version of its best-selling pickup truck, and unlike other recent layoffs this one has nothing to do with the ongoing strike by the United Auto Workers union.

  Ugh, no I don’t want to throw a bunch of hay and straw inside a van, you’ll have straw stuck in the crevices of the dashboard forever.

  I’m actually fine with it, in the case of Lemmy this is all public data, whether or not Lemmy admins are training AI on it, there is nothing to stop me from training my own AI models with this data.

  I think the larger issue is I don’t consider it “your data” once you put it on one of these sites. As soon as you take your own thought and put it on facebook/instagram/reddit/whatever, it’s now theirs, it lives in their databases, and frankly for a social media company it’s probably their most valuable asset.

  No one is forcing anyone to use social media, if you want your thoughts and actions to be your own I would recommend not putting them on the internet.

  I don’t see the issue with this, don’t give your data to companies if you don’t them to use it. No one is forcing us to use these services, if you don’t want twitter to train their AI off your tweets, then don’t tweet.

  I pay for YouTubeTV, and to be honest it’s basically Cable, expect it’s over the internet, I don’t need a set top box, and I can watch it on my TV/Phone/Laptop, whatever.

  So when I hear people say “cable”, I really think YouTubeT, Live Hulu, or other similar services…

  If a flag is on the right side of your body (or in this case car) then it’s reversed otherwise it’s normal.

  The U.S. flag appears backward on military uniforms when worn on the right side, so the canton is assaulting forward. This reflects the image of the American flag flying in the wind, the blue union field always moving forward to symbolize the bravery and commitment of military service members.

  They’re quoting Blund users though, Blind is a cesspool of silicon Valley tech bros. It’s often just a dick measuring contest between FAANG workers about who makes more money.

  As a tech worker in rhe U.S. we are definitely not being exploited. I’m all for unions but we’re doing just fine.
