So I looked it up and as I thought, the core basis of sorting for reddit is based on a weighting algorithm looking at thumbs/comments. People suspect that other information, like locality are used to (hence you typically get posts in your language), but there is supposedly limited user based info used in the ranking of posts (people generally see the same content on r/all)

What I was hypothesising is that reddit wants to get rid of r/all so they can create a more tiktok/Instagram like feed based on individual user behavior. Both to make the app more addicting and/or have greater control/influence on what you do/don't see.

In this economy?

It's amazing what tariffs and uncertainty can do to an economy.

You do realize that means they are live driving the car, maybe not 100% of the time, but waymo is having unlicensed drivers operating vehicles on US roads.

Additionally, this means they have people in another country taking over the cars when things failed and are potentially in a dangerous situation (where the ping might be a bigger issue).

Overall, we get big corporations able to skirt laws and pay people less money.

Oh wow, I didn't realize how crazy race/ethnicity can get in Europe. I figured the term must be overloaded, but how do you even define/track ethnically German?

Your comments on over policing of marginalized people though is definitely a good call-out.

It was $51k for a used car.

If it was new I could understand, but that much for a used car is crazy. I'm guessing she had to buy when used car prices were almost the same as new, but I feel like that's still a lot.

How are they defining "foreigner" here, cause non-German citizens accounting for a 1/3 of all crime sounds really high and concerning.

To be honest, having a third of your population be immigrants sounds crazy too. Even in the US it's only about 1/6th the population and half of those are naturalized citizens.

So is this so they can force an algorithm on you to show you content? Sounds like they want more direct control over what "new" things people see.

I think you uploaded the wrong picture, that's clearly a toad.

What a company says and what a company actually does are not the same thing.

Ive been blown away at how well GameNative works.

Out of curiosity, how comfortable is the Thor? I've been tempted to get it, but been waffling between it and the Odin 3 (for the better processor).
