If they did, Apple wouldn’t adopt it and we’d be in exactly the same place as we are now.

It’s all mashed together into one broken link. The Mastodon post was https://universeodon.com/@reverendender/110684373666510819 and the actual article was https://www.insider.com/meta-threads-delete-account-instagram-2023-6
Most of hydrogen’s problems are solvable - we can pack a car with hydrogen tanks, make hydrogen with electrolysis, build infrastructure, etc.
The big killer is price. Those hydrogen filling stations aren’t $1000 each like home chargers or $50,000 each like DC fast chargers, they’re something like 2 million dollars each. And you need them everywhere, there’s no home filling to carry most of your usage.
The hydrogen you put in them? You have to pay for not just the electricity that makes it into your car’s electric motor, but all the energy that was wasted along the way:
Nobody’s looking to spend all that money on filling stations, and nobody’s interested in paying 2-3x as much to fill their car.
I think they were pro-hydrogen, and now they’re using hydrogen as an excuse not to do battery EVs.
People who have heard of hydrogen cars but haven’t looked at how inefficient and expensive they are still think that they’re the future.
Naw, cheating at life is if your Daddy owns an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa, then you get smart people to do the thinking and PR for you.
There’s a risk that you’ll start to believe your own PR and try to do it yourself, though. I can’t imagine that going well.
Yeah, but Reddit makes pennies per user from showing them ads, so they’re still losing money.
Rather than laughing all the way to the bank, it’s more of a forced chuckle on the way to the dole office.
Their announcements about products that are way better than anything that actually exists with no solid plans to actually bring it to market is actually just another flavor of anti-EV FUD.
It’s not the right time to buy an EV because our imaginary product is SO much better than any of those boring products, you should wait for it and keep buying our gas vehicles for now.
they do understand that the APIcalypse will make their financial figures look great
That would require people to actually pay that API pricing. The apps closing down and AI people scraping the web site instead won’t help them.
It’s remarkable to me that Reddit could have let one of their PR drones write a post that essentially took seven paragraphs to say, “Sorry but we have to” and it probably would have mostly blown over.
But Huffman’s ego took the wheel and he had to make it personal. Instead of just leaving, people are actively cheering for Reddit’s downfall.
It’s $2-3/month, but that’s assuming all your existing users convert to paid subscriptions.
The issue devs had was that it was going to mostly be the heaviest users who would be willing to pay for a subscription. The people who spend many hours per day using the app and rack up $20/month in API charges.
Last I heard, iThings weren’t allowed to have other browsers, everything just had to be a different UI on top of Safari.
It turns out that banning porn makes advertisers happier, but you sell a lot less ads overall because you have nobody to advertise to.
The game’s director seems to agree:
Because of the brouhaha over 2B’s butt, there are loads of rude drawings and whatnot being uploaded [online]. And since going around and collecting them is a pain, I’d like it if I could get them sent in a zip file every week.
All because some weeb wanted to play Nier: Automata.
2B’s bum has been a major contributor to Linux gaming.
I don’t think Twitter would rate limit the Google indexer, though.
It’s probably the increased bounce rate, as people click Twitter links in the search results, get Twitter’s login wall and click back to continue searching instead of creating an account.
Stadia really needed to be a monthly subscription model rather than asking people to buy games on Stadia.
Nobody wanted to buy in to a Google platform, but I might’ve signed up for a month and had a look.
uBlock Origin doesn’t have a 30 day limit:
www.youtube.com###title-text:has-text(Shorts):nth-ancestor(7)
I’ve had to add something like #infinite_scroll_content > div:nth-of-type(1):others()
for a few sites in uBlock Origin because every site wants you to just scroll the site forever now and attaches a bunch of other random articles to the bottom of any page you open.
I also block a lot of sidebars, sticky title bars that follow you as you scroll, widgets prompting me to chat with a salesweasel and so, so many cookie notice bars because sites still think they’re a get out of jail free card by EU law.
I’ve actually got quite a few Youtube lines in my filters file, because it’s my computer and it still does what I want despite the best efforts of big tech companies:
www.youtube.com##.yt-formatted-string.style-scope.yt-simple-endpoint:has-text(YouTube Music):nth-ancestor(13)

Why don’t titles sponsored by one company also do extra work for free to support a different company’s competing proprietary technology?
Gee, I wonder.
Article doesn’t say a single word about NVIDIA titles that don’t support FSR, either.
