B-b-but Lemmy told me they‘re moderate and not far right at all because Sweden is a socialist country and therefore can do no wrong… How could this be? /s

Knowing Youtube they will start drizzling them into your search results instead or something equally terrible.

Are you trying to be funny or something? Used electric cars aren‘t exactly going up in price. What a bunch of nonsense. Talking about cope.

You tankies really have a way with words.

You can‘t compare a bailout with an aggressive offensive. Especially since western car makers and many other manufacturers outsourced to China in the process. There are few to no parallels to be drawn here. A more accurate, albeit tasteless comparison would be the China opium wars. Because that‘s essentially what they‘re aiming to do: Making us addicts to their product. They‘re selling us the stuff at a loss because they know we‘ll come back for more and before we know it we‘re completely hooked. It‘s the exact same thing they‘re doing with Temu and TikTok.

If you drive alone a Tesla, you drive with Hitler

„Free market“? Speaking of hypocrisy. Chinese car brands are so heavily subsidized they probably cost the Chinese economy more than they make selling them at the moment. China is clearly trying to drown the global market with cheap cars so they can ramp up prices immensely once they have killed the competition and have become a monopoly. China hasn‘t been the extreme low income country to produce super cheaply for a long time and they couldn‘t produce cars this cheap in a free market situation.

Many countries and the EU have measures against such practices because state run operations with the sole purpose to destroy an industry (which this is) undermine the very idea of the free market or even trade relationships.

Alternatively we could start subsiding local car makers and play the same little game China is playing but more cars is honestly the last thing we need right now. Tariffs are a much smoother option to deal with this even when they have a bad rep.

Ideally we use that generated money from tariffs to subsidize public transport so we don‘t get cheaper cars but cheaper alternatives but that‘s still just a dream I‘m afraid.

Whatever the case, one should look at super cheap cars and what that means in the long run more critically.

I as a lifelong coder couldn‘t agree more.

TIL: The English language is computer code, making me a coder apparently.

Yup. Garbage in garbage out. Looks like they found a particularly hostile dataset to feed their wordsalad mixer with.

Didn‘t Denmark get criticized for doing exactly that, though?

Some parts of Germany are even colder, believe it or not. Top temperatures dropped by over 15°C since Wednesday here (From 35°C to 18°C tomorrow) just to climb to 30°C by Sunday next week. I‘d rather have a warm or cold summer than this bouncing around.

Likely a case of what lobby has him deeper inside their pockets. Such a bill would threaten the entire entertainment industry and more.

It „makes sense“ in that US troops are still stationed in Europe to (hopefully) help defend western Democracy. Meanwhile China is actively helping Russia attacking it. But judging by where things are headed with Trump, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. could be next on the ban list.

I mean our chancellor infamously does not even know what the minimum wage is. It‘s no surprise but very telling how he formed a cabinet made of millionaires. We had a lot of disconnected governments during my lifetime but Merz takes the cake for sure.

Wouldn‘t be surprised if the author used AI too but then again bad or let‘s call it „weird“ journalism isn’t all that new.

They never will. Not with shorts. Not ever with AI.

Which is the goal of the very populists they voted for…

Sounds like a content highway but implemented in the narrowest, most awkward and least usable way imaginable. And they‘re paving the ruins of the search result page that they themselves bombed to bits with it. I‘m almost surprised they didn‘t try to sell this to premium users as the solution to a problem they created. The fact that they roll this out to free users tells me it‘s utter slop that I‘m never going to use.

They‘ll keep building more coal power plants in the global south and export coal. There‘s a lot of money to be made.
