I started having arguments online back on Fidonet and Usenet. I’m too tired to care now.

It’s your assumption that I’m not right. That’s fine.
There are plenty of diverse opinions here. You just don’t recognize them as such since they’re expressed respectfully instead of polarizing.
Correct, but the troll infested discourse in other places polarize everything on purpose to sow discord in society. In Real Life people really are better at voicing different opinions without it looking like pure hatred.
You’re just used to seeing troll factory inflamed opinions on other platforms. On ad-supported social media moderators don’t ban the trolls because “user number go up!”. On the fediverse each user is a cost so when we find bad actors we simply eject them promptly.

But in some ways yes - adding more strategy to the drivers’ toolboxes will hopefully mean the race results are less predictable than based purely on the cars’ performances.

43·1 month agoRacing has evolved. I most definitely approve of the added strategy elements in how to plan overtakes now. The Swedish Viaplay commentators likened it to Indycar oval racing and I agree.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else feel like fediverse (particulary Lemmy) is getting more and more quieter?
16·1 month agoMy experience is the opposite actually. I do browse All on Lemmy though just to be able to surface interesting stuff.
Aston’s sandbagging will be legendary. Alonso Stroll 1-2 in qualifying coming up.
right?
guys?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The same people who rage against authority love moderating communities where their ideology is the only one allowed
393·2 months agoThis is very true - I usually refer to it as “BOFH behavior”. I think it stems from many people who end up hosting or moderating feeling that they themselves have been marginalised before so “now they’re going to show them!”.
A great example is a Mastodon instance where if you don’t agree with the site’s admin they’ll block you at the server level instead of from their personal account. The belief is that if they have an opinion that opinion must then be enforced for everyone else under their control too.
I drive a Volkswagen ID.7 since soon 2 years now, had a Tesla Model 3 before that. Absolutely love the VW. It’s a “real car” with manual controls where you expect them yet all the modernities you can imagine. The AR HUD is absolutely awesome giving you all the relevant information incl. navigation where you’re looking without having to take your eyes off the road.
There’s a big screen as well though, but it’s not something you have to poke at to do regular stuff as in Teslas.
If there’s anything but a title here it doesn’t show in mbin :/

21·2 months agoI know, but the regulation isn’t that the compression ratio shall be 16:1 only at ambient tests. It’s 16:1 - and then it’s tested for compliancy at ambient temps. Just introducing another test shouldn’t be a regulatory change.

1·2 months agoHow is this a regulatory change? The rule is the same - it’s just tested in one more condition. Like when doing additional testing on flexiwings.
