LOL, just another reason to avoid buying from Amazon, really.

Yeah, I’m still in AZ, thus my question, haha.

Ah, cool! Well AC pretty much solves my hesitations here in AZ, lol. But I know a lot of northern states still might want AWD as an option.

My two immediate concerns would be whether it comes with AC and is there an AWD option. Both of those could be deal breakers towards the borders. I guess they’re not absolute deal breakers (we bounced around AZ in a '71 Datsun pickup that had about the same specs as this a kid) but they certainly would be huge QOL improvements as options.

I think it will depend on if they have lots of USB power conveniently available. Like you could literally make your own stereo with two bluetooth speakers and a phone as long as there’s plenty of USB power and mounting points.

It exists because too many idiots turn it on, forget about it and then drive along for another 5 miles signalling a turn they’re never going to make and confusing everyone around them. Personally, I’d much rather someone signal for “too short” an amount of time than have this happen.

And I think on some cars I’ve had in the past, it was only 2 times even.

Oh no. Anyway…

The answer it’s, they’re neither thing right now. And the claim has been made that in order to run your own instance that forwarded all traffic generated by the primary instance, you would need equivalent hardware to what BlueSky currently has. Vs Mastdon, which is…

• not commercially owned
• has a proven federation capability
• Running a pretty large number of instances right now

Good point, yes. I really should have started with that…

Yup. It still boggles my mind that none of that was enough to make Republicans think twice about voting for him.

Now that he’s impacting them financially? Oh noes! I might not vote Republican again! 🙀

But of course, it’s way too late now and we’ll be lucky if we even have another election at this point.

None of this is false is the thing. He’s literally a criminal. He literally gave out a massive stock tip before reversing direction on tariffs again…

Yeah this seems like a weird use case for Mastodon to me too. Also, the entire point of Mastodon is that no one entity can control it all. Switching to BlueSky is basically just falling straight back into the trap where someone can buy it out and repurpose it as a disinformation machine again. I’m not saying ActivityPub is perfect, mind you. Just that it sucks less (for me) than the alternative.

Oh, so they’re upset now? What about, you know, when Trump stole a shit-ton of top secret documents that he very probably attempted to sell and at the very least definitely stored improperly and used a lot of lying and juggling to keep hold of? After he attempted to overthrow the government on Jan 6th. If they had moved faster, we wouldn’t even be having this whine-fest, because he wouldn’t have gotten re-elected from prison.

Being able to launch it locally if you can’t save open or locally seems extremely pointless.

No, but cinco has 5, lol.

Just log onto mastodon.social and be done with it. That’s the one that will still be running until the they turn out the lights on the service, I figure. And then go kick in a buck or two a month on Patreon to help defray development and server costs. (Not being the product is worth a donation by itself, I figure.)

Probably meant he wanted them to pay him protection money, lol.

Hahaha, you’re welcome!

Weird, very weird. Not demure, not mindful.
