I think today was the day he blew it with Red Bull.

And Danny Ric’s performance just makes it even worse for him. At this point I would be amazed if Checo is in a Red Bull (F1 car) next year

RB dont need someone to win races, they just need someone who can qualify well, not make stupid mistakes and finish 2nd-3rd behind Max

Its really hard to even get excited about the prospect of a Ferrari front row, because you just know they will somehow contrive to get in each others way, let Max through on lap one, and then make a pigs ear of their strategy and finish 5th and 6th

Huawei and Honor can both survive purely on domestic sales before you even worry about ROW.

No idea why you think there are only three brands, or why you think the US is the only market that matters (it’s fairly obvious you are US based)

Spotify has one of the highest quality services

spotify is a great service for spotify

spotify is a great service for the consumer

spotify is a godawful exploitive pile of manure for artists

as far as i have seen (as a subscriber to c/piracy) there is no links to pirated content and they are very clear that that is not allowed

the vast majority of the discussion is on morals of piracy, anti piracy measures, etc etc

exactly this, they can control what is on it, give their journalists, shows, etc accounts and it being a self contained hub for everything bbc, while interacting with rest of the fediverse.

Im guessing they will also get more statistics and information from hosting it themselves as well. its a no brainer.

Shall I push on and we do some pit stop training?

Is Max bored

dimspace, 10 months ago

Underrated part of Max’s driving is just how damn good he is at conserving tyres.

Consistently the last to pit on the same tyres… (along with Alonso)

"Leap"

Because, that's what lemmings allegedly do, but also encouraging people to take the leap and embrace the fediverse

Leap for Lemmy

They are literally the only UK daily newspaper not owned by some rich owner or conglomerate, and about the only newspaper (along with the observer) that does not publicly support one of the two main political parties.

And 2018 study found the guardian was by far the most trusted of the uk daily's, and second only to the bbc as a news source https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2018/10/30/western-europeans-under-30-view-news-media-less-positively-rely-more-on-digital-platforms-than-older-adults/

but yes, im a Guardian reader so maybe biased. but theres a reason I read them, and not another.

I believe we should de-federate just to save confusion for new members.

for instance, a new user going to "communities" (all).. 4 of the top 9 communities are homed with Beehaw

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e7b37b1e-1c56-4f42-80a8-313c472da041.png

But there is no indication to the user that you wont actually be interacting with all of those people, you will be joining a community that may say x number of members but will actually be restricted to your local instance.

Its confusing.,

It also restricts alternatives to those rooms from establishing and growing.

I honestly think its crucial we de-federate asap.

I think in the short term its very a) short sighted and b) damaging to the whole lemmyverse.

It only highlights to both new users and naysayers the fragility of the whole thing. One (small) group of people can decide to press the nuclear option and suddenly thousands of genuine users both on their server and others are penalised and lose out.

For one of the "big four" instances (.ml, world, shitjustworks and beehaw) to pull the plug so soon after the "blackout influx" will not inspire confidence in users. New users who signed up to beehaw (on advice that .ml was struggling for capacity) suddenly a few days into their interactions find themselves locked out of communities they had joined. Equally people who joined other instances but were enjoying gaming@beehaw or politics@beehaw which were the two biggest gaming/politics communities, suddenly also find themselves locked out.

Yes, this is on one hand the benefit of the fedeverse, but for new members, this just demonstrates that a small group (by the sounds of it 4-5 people) can make a snap decision, and effect thousands of users.

It seems very short sighted and damaging to a lot of the goodwill built up over recent days
