AssholeDesign@lemmy.world•This got me thinking which button to click
3·3 years agotrademarks are good for 10 years and looking at some of twitters trademarks it seems the renewed them in 2019. So yes, in 2029, if X hasn’t reverted to being called twitter then their trademarks will be unprotected.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some cool skills that are best learned young?
21·3 years agoLearning to drive. I’ve met a few people who didn’t learn to drive until their late 20’s or 30’s and there always seems to be some awkwardness to their driving. On the opposite side, learning to drive at 16 seems to encourage reckless habits to form, people I’ve known who waited until 18 have much better driving habits on average.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunch
2·3 years agoUh, the first one. It’s all downhill after that. It’s the only one he’s ever pulled off. Look at the goals for the master plan part 2 and you’ll see that they haven’t managed to do a single one, but Elon still went ahead a published a part 3. Why actually meet goals when you can just pretend you’ve met them by posting new ones, I guess.

Share your magazines!@kbin.social•[/m/otomegames] [not mine] For discussing otome games: games aimed at women with a focus on romance
1·3 years agoI have been summoned! thanks @euphoria, @Elevator7009. I am indeed the mod of m/Otomegames. Come join us :) we’re friendly.
Catch42@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•We need to be more active about commenting!
6·3 years agoI’d like to encourage more upvoting and boosting too! I like leaving comments, but I know not everyone does. The points from upvoting themselves don’t mean anything, but it lets me know if my post is appreciated or if someone else’s post is worth reading past the headline.
Catch42@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Does anyone else feel the general lemmy instances are noise?
1·3 years agoThank you for explaining this, I’ve had federation turned off for a while now and have been wondering why so many things from Lemmy still pop up.

1·3 years agoSo much porn, regular porn, amateur porn, furry porn. I have 18+ turned off and some of it still slips through sometimes.

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•I think the rush to recreate communities is a bad idea.
1·3 years agoHi, thank you for your contributions!
I find myself wondering how many people we need to have a self-sustaining community. I’ve been making and stockpiling memes and discussion ideas so I can post regularly, but ideally there’d be enough people so that my posts aren’t the majority.
Catch42@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Have you had any bad experiences with people on Kbin yet? Can we do better than Reddit culture?
2·3 years agoI’ve had some frustrating experiences. A few weeks ago when I posted something, even if other people disagreed, they would respond with the kindness of assuming that I’m speaking in good faith. More and more people are responding to my comments rather aggressively. It’s mostly people with far left views, which I suppose is better than people with far right views, but it’s still rather off-putting.
It’s gotten bad enough that I almost expect for someone to respond to this comment negatively.

Technology@kbin.social•'Heavy debt': Elon Musk says Twitter cash flow negative after ad revenue declines
2·3 years agoAh, I misunderstood what you were asking; No I am not sure. I made my assessment based on what is available. If I’m proven wrong when Tesla either releases the data or more likely is forced to release the data by NHTSA, then I will stand corrected.

Technology@kbin.social•'Heavy debt': Elon Musk says Twitter cash flow negative after ad revenue declines
1·3 years agoI read both articles you have linked to, I don’t think either of them contradict what I said. Both articles point out that Tesla dominate automation related accidents, which makes sense because Tesla has a far greater number of automation equipped cars on the road than other manufacturers. Furthermore they point out that those accidents have risen dramatically over the past few years. If you look at the graph on the WaPo article you linked to you’ll see it’s in agreement with what I said since Tesla switched to vision based systems in mid 2021.

Technology@kbin.social•'Heavy debt': Elon Musk says Twitter cash flow negative after ad revenue declines
1·3 years agoYes, because rising road fatalities and having lower than average road fatalities are not mutually exclusive. Radar-era autopilot was incredibly safe, so even though Elon made the stupid decision to make it vision-based which has caused fatalities to go up, they’re still below average. You can check NHTSA’s ratings just type in Tesla in the search bar and you’ll see that they’ve gotten a 5 star rating on every car in every category.
Of course if you look at Tesla’s own data they claim to the orders of magnitude safer, which I’m sure is only possible with some creative data manipulation, but it’s silly to claim that Tesla’s are less safe than average.

Technology@kbin.social•'Heavy debt': Elon Musk says Twitter cash flow negative after ad revenue declines
6·3 years agoWell, Tesla is publicly traded, makes money, and clearly their cars work because they have lower than average road fatalities. With the disparity of how badly Twitter’s being run vs Tesla I wonder how long it’s been since Elon’s actually been in charge of anything other than being a spokesperson for Tesla.

Technology@lemmy.world•How Long it Took for Popular Apps to Reach 100 Million Users
3·3 years agoThis graph has some scale issues; 5 days and 2 months look basically the same and the difference between 5 years and 7 years is also minimal. They would have been better off dropping the “World Wide Web” which doesn’t fit anyway since it isn’t an app and giving more space to everything else.

World News@kbin.social•Hybrid-work trend may wipe out $800 billion from office property values by 2030, McKinsey study says
16·3 years agoGood. Property values are a necessary evil in our economic system to allocate finite amounts of land. Unlike say the value of a company that makes things, which reflects the utility gained from it’s products, property values mostly represent scarcity, falling property values therefore indicates that we have partially mitigated that scarcity.
