During COVID they learned they can make the same profit by ditching mass market vehicles and concentrating on high margin SUVs and still preserve their profit margin. I guess this is now biting their asses.
62 K for full spec. Crazy expensive.
That's I guess how nature is giving us a sneak peek of what's to come if we continue this road.
That's why all the outstanding democracies have democratic in their names.
Yesterday someone posted a screenshot of the price of a fully trimmed ID3 costing 63K €. Mind you ID3 is a small compact car. That's absolutely insane, and then VW is wondering why their profit and sales are sliding down the drain. They were supposed to be producing mass market affordable cars.
I don't think that those tariffs will help much, and it will be counterproductive in the long term for the European car industry.
Wasn't this also correlated with a lot of carbon heavy EU industries migrating to parts of the world with cheaper labor force and energy?
Today I read an article in DW, that in Germany
In July industrial production was almost 10% below the level it had been at, at the beginning of 2023.
Wars suck so much.
To be honest, I don't want to be forced to kill other human beings because of some shitty politicians who decided so.
It makes me sick to the bone.
A couple of years ago, I watched a documentary about the war in Bosnia and how many women conceived as a result of those rapes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIBf48PP9hI
The worst is that they not only create a very dangerous precedent, but also they are barring UNRWA without providing any alternative to it.
The irony is that they are attacking the same institution thanks to which their state exists today and also the institution which was created for the world to try to avoid global conflicts like WWII.
Exactly how I am feeling. AI took the fun part away of cracking a problem and the satisfaction of solving it is now gone.
What's AW?
It is indeed Reuters, I didn't clarify, I am using Libredirect on my mobile to strip some websites as I believe Reuters has a limit of articles you can read per month/day.
Sometimes I wonder what the world would be without countries like the US, Russia and China.
The real question is did he do this sincerely or because it is hurting him financially. I am all up for forgiveness, etc. but only if this sudden self awareness is authentic.
And the deadline is just after the election and if Trump wins, then they don't need to do absolutely anything. Just wait and take preventive measures if Harris wins.
But why limit this to console only, when this will be a full featured PC that can do so much more. Plus there are plenty of open source streaming tools like Moonlight and sunshine that can stream your game directly to your TV. You have Jellyfin for media streaming etc.
Uglier than the Cybertruck? I don't think so.

In Gaza, an entire generation of children is now at risk of being ‘forgotten’. With the cumulative effects of unrelenting violence, forced displacement and loss of an entire school year likely to impact them for the rest of their lives. The time to act to provide relief and scale-up humanitarian aid...

Thousands of Israeli reservists were called up to fight in Gaza after the October 7 Hamas attacks. In May, 42 of them wrote an open letter refusing to take up arms again. Yuval Green and Michael Ofer Ziv told DW why.
Is there any immutable distro that's based on Hyprland? I really like their approach to tiling, but at the same time I prefer to have a solid experience without worrying that the next update might break some dependencies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in July effectively spiked a draft hostage and ceasefire deal by introducing a raft of new, 11th-hour demands, according to a report by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth citing a document it obtained.
I am anxiously following the real estate market and prices are far outpacing the wage growth, making real estate really unaffordable for a lot of people, and yet there is very little political will from politicians to do anything about it.
This is especially true for desirable areas and big cities, and slowly pushing low earners to the outskirts and even outside towns. I know plenty of people who hoarded multiple properties and now they simply rent them through Airbnb or booking not to mention big corporations trying to snap even more and rent them at outrageous prices. While plenty of people cannot afford even rent in those cities.
Mind you I am not US based, but I know that this is pretty much a world phenomenon for quite a few years who got really accelerated by the COVID pandemic, but its effect will cripple future generations severely who will never be able to purchase their own roof over their head and they will forever be stuck with ever increasing rents increasing enormously the financial burden of those people.
I don't know for you but I believe this is completely unsustainable in the long term and this will become an even bigger problem in the future and I wonder why there is so little done to tackle the problem now, and what are those politicians hope, that this will magically disappear tomorrow and all will be roses?
Why aren't universally some laws against home flipping and people owning more than one residential property? I think the right of having a roof over your head is a basic human right and every person out there deserves to have a decent home and not be forced to live on the street.

I really enjoy Firefox on Android as I can install a bunch of extensions and I find those extensions game changer, especially on the mobile.
One of my favorites are
- Libredirect - literally one of my favorite ones. Redirects popular sites to privacy focused frontends, like YouTube to Invidious, etc.
- uBlock Origin - I guess everyone knows this one
- Privacy Badger - blocks trackers
- Ghostery - blocks trackers, ads, scripts, etc.
What extensions do you guys use?
