Sorry if it came across as dismissive as that wasn’t my intention, I think it’s a great looking little thing, just that it’s not an alternative to a “real” car. It’s in a different (legal) category, can be driven without a license and can only access secondary roads etc (I don’t live in France anymore and not super aware of what category L6e can and cannot do but for example it definitely can’t go on the highway).

If all you need is to grab your groceries etc from the next village, then yes it looks like it could do that. It does look like it’s legit but still in preorder phase. Realistically I think most people buying this either don’t really need a car or have more vehicles and are getting this for the fun factor.

That last one. If they have plates it should mean it’s technically road legal as far as I know, but in the same sense a dune buggy can be road legal but you couldn’t really use one as your daily driver.

Was very intrigued but this isn’t a serious alternative, they themselves refer to it as a toy multiple times on the website (even comes in it’s own giant toy box).

While pro has been misused a lot, I feel like it still has it’s original meaning at least with people, if not in marketing. That is, that if you’re a pro, you’re earning money doing the thing.

Haha I have no idea who the character is but I noticed the Australia chat hair immediately (but probably thanks to context).

As stupid as the apple glasses are, the gesture function sure seems like it would work well with something like this.

Would this work at a professional level? I haven’t tried Gimp either in a long time these days, but I think it hasn’t gotten much better? I think most of everything else I’ve “de-adobe’d” and either use FOSS or other proprietary software like DaVinci Resolve or Bitwig with reasonable purchase options, which I could all use on Linux but I don’t think I can really leave LR+PS as they’re so core to my daily work.

Where are you from? Where I live (in the Netherlands) there’s an official tool from the public transport services which works just as well as gmaps to plan your train/tram/metro/bus journey.

Strolling into the supermarket like whadup.

Audacity is fine.

Yeah since I work with it LR+PS are holding me back from switching to Linux. I’m not full FOSS on the rest either but at least they offer Linux versions.

That’s the emo version.

Anyone remembers when Chrome was the hot new kid on the block and we all converted the “normies” to it because it was so much better than IE? We’re reaping what we sowed.

It took me a second to see what you mean but now that’s all I can see.

And don’t forget huge signatures with GIFs and all sorts of crap for your favourite forum.

The fediverse is beautiful ❤️

Just curious, did this comment originate from mastodon? (Reading this on Lemmy).

Yep, the Romans really knew how to party.

I feel like we reached the stage where any improvements are really just incremental and small, you used to get a massively different experience when upgrading your phone even just a year later in the early days, nowadays you can barely tell the difference between new and 5 year old models.

When we get in that state of a technology, we should definitely be looking at how to make our devices last longer instead of renewing yearly / bi-yearly.

I mean, I want them to pay as much as possible, but 1% of their global revenue, for just a small country like Norway, still seems pretty decent.
