It’s not about the dictionary definition of the term. It’s about the subconscious effect your choice of language has on how people think about things.
The only way it would affect “how people think about things” is if people don’t understand what “accident” means. Which is what happens when people like yourself intentionally spread that sort of disinformation.
Yeah that wasn’t there earlier. They must have added it.
Worth noting that “Ram” is now its own brand, divorced from Dodge, and they only make 1 vehicle, while other trucks are sold as part of the Ford and Chevy lineup. So it’s probable those other vehicles are bringing up the safety ratings of, say F150 and Silverado.
It will most certainly pass driver safety regs but absolutely not pedestrian safety. I’m sure they knew that when they designed it.
This is not an accident. Entirely preventable. Intent doesnt matter
This is quite literally the opposite of the truth. You should consult a dictionary.
E: if any downvoters want to point me to a definition from a legitimate source that says “accident” means “not preventable” and doesn’t mention intent, I will delete this comment in shame.
Otherwise 🖕
Which “road safety advocates” are those?
“Accident” simply means it was not intentional and has absolutely nothing to do with preventability.
How can you write an article like this with zero citations? They mention Lending Tree, who is a mortgage originator and that’s it.
Yeah good luck with that. It’s very much a dick move but I don’t think you’ll have success arguing in court that Apple is obligated to open their personal messaging system to competitors.
You’d have much better luck arguing that they need to open up SMS use to other apps, and that that they need to allow sideloading and other app stores. These are the REAL anticompetitive concerns.
…they paid Joe Rogan $100M to be exclusive so they must be making profit somewhere…
I just can’t understand why someone who cares about an open source book reader wouldn’t just buy a Kindle for much less money and then flash a different OS…
Just so they can say they built it?
Okay but why
Wait, I’m confused, I thought this was Tesla’s fault?
Not always, no.
And you can “always” find them on forums?
And often the question I have has already been answered on those forums.
I’d say the same goes for a certain very popular Lemmy-like message board. Way moreso than any forum.
Have you never had to troubleshoot something before or something?
Oh good, we’ve reached the personal insults phase of the discussion, that was fast.
He isn’t a “really good business man”
I find it absolutely hilarious that literally anyone thinks one of the wealthiest people in the world “isn’t a good business man”. Like how completely proposterous is that?
It just speaks the the absolute bias of people who don’t like him and can’t possibly say anything that might be poorly construed as positive.
And you can’t find niche answers on forums like Lemmy?
Yeah that’s exactly what sucks about them.
When you open up the front page, you’re not shown what is the most interesting and recent topics, you’re shown 12 year old thread that xxedgelord69 dug up and added a fuckin’ poop emoji.
Surely this came down to business and not alturism.
These are not necessarily mutually exclusive ideals.
From time to time businesses will do things that actually benefit their customers in order to keep their business.
I guess it’s not a bad thing but I feel like “forums” should be left in 1999 where they belong and these platforms should just switch to Lemmy.
If google is doing this, they have a much better way to track them.
They do. It’s the new “Ad Privacy” features built into Chrome that tracks every webpage you visited (locally) and then sends your profile out to advertisers when you visit a page.
I think the conversation should be about the impact of federating with an “instance” with a long history of poor or apathetic moderation vs. creating an off-boarding system for Meta users to escape the corporatocracy.
Personally I vote for the latter, and I’m glad most of the larger instances are in the same boat.
In an ideal world people realize they can escape the ads and data collection without losing touch with friends, family and news and Meta goes down in flames but maybe that’s the optimist in me.
