The Great App Genocide of 2023.

Fuck no. I handled it like a man and trial and errored it for weeks. I am ashamed to say that I had to ask the dealer for assistance to drive it off the lot because I was blocking people and they were getting pissed.

I’ve got a 2018 mini cooper SE hybrid. It has a little switch to turn on. The switch has its light on when the car is turned off and it’s light off when the car is turned on. It also has a third state after you get out of the car where it’s not really on or off but you can’t charge it or drive it until you turn it completely on or off. And you can’t turn it on if you don’t have it in neutral. And it doesn’t really tell you if the parking break is on except a little light on the center console which you never see, so the car may be on but you won’t be able to drive it because the parking brake is on. Sometimes it wont let you unplug it until you lock it and unlock it again for some reason.

And don’t even get me started on the CarPlay or the driver profiles or the park assist menu that overstays its welcome by about 3 minutes.

Fellow Mini owner. This is only one of the many questionable UI decisions made in my car. I literally had to get help to get it started the first time.

They set out to make the truck version of the Delorean and succeeded.

That toaster gives me the vibes of my '80s Apple //c

Make sure and get the always nitter plugin so you never have to see elon’s abomination again.

Don’t look at Reddit traffic. Look at the 600% increase in Lemmy traffic which isn’t slowing down even a little. Lemmy is quickly building up enough steam to replace Reddit, and then it’s simply a matter of time. Lemmy will keep getting better and Reddit will keep getting worse. People will figure it out. As someone who watched the fall of Digg firsthand and in real-time, I can assure you, these things can very much surprise you. They haven’t even closed down third party apps yet.

Exactly. For guys like me who joined 16 years ago, it’s felt like a steady decline for a decade already. This is just a convenient time to jump to another platform because others will join me.
