Tried that many times. It has given me the exact same place for slightly cheaper than AirBnB once. Other times it was more expensive but most often of simply had worse choices.

I guess: great concept, shitty company.
Like with so many “tech giants”, they had a great idea but greed is spoiling it. I wish we had more “public infrastructure” for this. I’d love to have OSS, tax-funded or at least heavily regulated SoMe, video sharing, home swapping/renting, local marketplace, … Those should not be industries, they should be part of our society’s fabric like the fire department or trash pick-up.

I share a lot of of the criticism towards AirBnB. However, I’ve often ended up using them either way. We travel with a dog and a toddler. They need to be allowed in the first place. And ideally we get a kitchen, a separate room so we can still have normal noise and light when the kid sleeps. Often we even find Airbnbs with toys, kids books, dog beds, treats on the table when we arrive, …
You simply don’t get that in hotels. At least not in a price range I’ve considered so far

Good Riddance in my ass.

- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #8 3 weeks ago:
I think we all lose by supporting Amazon 😜
I get it though, I used to use it too a few years back. Honestly never played anything I claimed through it
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 3 weeks ago:
Same.

Did you see the Hyundai Ioniq 6? Or the very new Kia EV4? They look very “modern” but then again I’d say ICE cars are constantly changing design too.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 1 month ago:
Well, out Kona is a weird crossover-y thing but otherwise literally identical to its ICE brothers.
Maybe Peugeot, Citroen and similar are what you are after? The new Peugeot 308 electric is pretty “boring” - it’s not an amazing EV but better than what they had before
- Comment on This Cybertruck shaped man is destroying our government 1 month ago:
Putin is a violent, ruthless dictator supported by a corrupt oligarchy. While he might claim to borrow ideas from communism, 9/10 people I have heard supporting communism hate Putin.
And while I don’t really like conservatives, I also think it’s unfair to most conservatives to pretend Trump is “just conservative”.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 1 month ago:
Apart from China, Hyundai/Kia is producing really great EVs. And the German brands have viable ones that might eventually catch up to Korea and China now that they’re taking it more seriously. Renault is really getting it lately and even Stellantis is coming with new platforms that are pretty good. The Japanese have invested more in anti-EV-propaganda than in EVs.
We have a Hyundai Kona from 2019 and it’s an amazing car. Every single person who ever tried it never wants to drive an ICE again. And this is an old low-to-mid-end vehicle. Our next EV is definitely going to be a lot better.

I’m sure batteries would have progressed more quickly if they had been chosen as the preferred path 100 years ago.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 1 month ago:
Big oil forced that shit onto you instead of going the far superior EV route from the beginning. Now EVs are finally taking over and I’m happy my kids never have to get fuel grease on their hands and suffer those nasty fumes at gas stations. Shifters were needed for an inferior technology to work. I liked it as an experience when I learned to drive. But cars are mostly transport due to failure of better public transport infrastructure. I don’t care whether they’re fun. I drive for fun on the Xbox or maybe in a GoKart every few years.
Oh that felt good to rant.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 1 month ago:
At this point being banned might be a good thing to drive home the point that also my favorite of the old corporate internet platforms should be avoided. I’m doing quite okay on staying away from Meta and have long deleted my Twitter account. I can’t get myself do drop Reddit somehow. Seems like they’re only helping me get off my addiction

Lemmy is becoming better and better and people like you are giving a major contribution to that! Thank you!
- Comment on Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC 1 month ago:
Now, can we have a cool European company doing similar stuff? At the rate it’s going I can’t decide whether I shouldn’t buy American because I don’t want to support a fascist country or because I’m afraid the country might crumble so badly that I can’t count on getting service for my device.
- Comment on Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming 1 month ago:
They better release a new one before I break down and buy a new “gaming laptop” because I sometimes game.
- Comment on Pixelfed behavior?! 2 months ago:
Good point! But that would imply the hashtag being marked NSFW instead of individual images

Thanks!

I LOVED that game as a kid. One of the few games where I enjoyed both vs and coop campaign stuff

Wasn’t MW open-world?

Thanks, I honestly didn’t know! I’ve only really adopted Lemmy for almost daily use a few weeks back and mostly read tech related stuff and it’s been blissfully apolitical for the most part. Some of it is on .ml - I now understand the issue and will look out for it/support communities on other instances where possible.
- Comment on Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse 5 months ago:
Huh, interesting! Thanks a lot! I guess I’ll keep reading the communities on lemmy.ml but avoid joining more. And if I ever encounter the issues described I hope I’ll find similar communities elsewhere. So far everything on Lemmy is so much better than in any other platforms that I’m quite happy.

😢
- Comment on Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse 5 months ago:
I honestly cannot find it. I find that Hexbear and Lemmigrad are frowned upon (hadn’t previously encountered them), but I actually find a few recommendations about Lemmy.ml. And many of my own subs are from there. I’d really like to understand!
- Comment on Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse 5 months ago:
I see people in that thread recommending to avoid lemmy.ml - what’s up with that?!?
- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 5 months ago:
I’d play NFSU in modern graphics! But apparently linear games are not allowed any more and it always has to be open world and come with seasons and DLCs and all that.
- Comment on The Magic Keyboard and Mouse now use USB-C! 5 months ago:
I bought an MX3 on a sale when leaving one job that wanted the mouse back and coming to one that didn’t offer one (or maybe I simply wasn’t patient enough?). The next job at an MX2S from a previous employee in the box with factory sealed cheapo mice. Easy choice to go for the used MX. sometimes I get confused when they’re accidentally in the same place 😅 also love the three channels for pairing to different devices. Even comes in handy on the iPad once in a while.
