  I’m not reading the manual of the Uber I’m about to climb into. A firefighter isn’t going to read the manual of a car they’re trying to pry me out of.

  I DO read the manual on the Kia I actually drive. To read about the recommendations for the tires. To read about replacing fuses. To find the load hauling capacity. Not how to open the fucking door.

  safety shouldn’t influence artistic choice

  Did you really just string those words together in all seriousness without a hint of irony? And that folks is exactly why we need the NHTSA.

  A child isn’t going to find that. A rescuer who isn’t familiar with Teslas isn’t going to be able to find that.

  I couldn’t even figure out how to open a fully functional door from outside the first time I got in a Tesla. I’m an adult who’s been driving my entire life.

  That’s not innovation; it’s a safety hazard for the sake of the aesthetics of a handle that doesn’t stick out. I don’t view that as a reasonable trade-off.

  Uber wouldn’t have been able to keep customers if big name, well-established taxi companies had really tried to compete with them. Middle aged adults (like me) would not have been inclined to jump into a stranger’s car no matter how cheap it was, if it was just as easy to get a licensed cab.

  Multiple companies could have pooled resources to fund developing an app that they all used. They have existing inventory, employees, local government connections. They definitely could have outcompeted Uber if they had been able to get their heads out of their asses and even try.

  Instead they ignorantly tried to kill Uber by suppressing innovation and service improvements that everyone wanted, which was doomed to fail from the start. They dug their own graves on this one.

  Only took the cab companies ten years to catch on to what they should have done as soon as Uber came on the scene. If cab companies had innovated like this, they would have killed Uber in the cradle.

  I was gonna say, actually thinking about pocketing the excess next time I pull some from the Omnicell to see if this works LoL

  It’s illegal to ask you not to discuss wages in the United States. Violation of federal labor law.

  And mine won’t let me upload even using the “upload image” button on desktop site. I’m getting some error “Unexpected token…DOCTYPE…is not valid JSON.” I’m trying to upload a JPG taken on a Pixel 5, so idk.

  But @tehcooles@programming.dev pics are great! I couldn’t capture the diamond ring effect and the more subtle parts of the corona on my Pixel 5.

  I mean, yes. People are stupid. That’s why we have safety regulations. This court case is about a lack of safety regulations.

  “Person watches X creative and clearly fictional content” is not analogous in any way to “person watches X video essay crafted to look like a documentary, but actually just full of lies and propaganda”

  Don’t be ridiculous
