Sure it is. But the fact remains that much of the required components to form an ecosystem are available on mainland China. Even TSMC building factories in Europe and the US can't change the fact that the rest of the ecosystem is lacking at best.
We need to get off our collective chairs and stop drinking the kool-aid for a while, in order to maintain a lead here.
I like how Amsterdam ended up in your list of countries. It clarifies the mindset of a lot of Amsterdammers.
Every accusation is an admission.
Great stuff, thank you for all the good work.
btw, as a tip: please resize https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/14f857e5-703a-4513-9c1a-f23031675be1.png in an image editor. It's on the homepage, and it's a frikking 4.5 megabyte image file.
It's the technology curve. We're now at the iPhone 3GS stage. The iPhone 4 of EVs is just around the corner. It will only get better (not cheaper) from here.
Yeah, I'm using Voyager as well, but if Christian Selig would decide to retool Apollo, and bring it out for Lemmy, it would instantly introduce MILLIONS to Lemmy. That product was huge.
I guess that was Reddit's problem, the 3rd party clients attracted eyeballs on their own. Reddit no longer owned these eyeballs.
This is so awesome, I cannot phantom a piece of tech that has stayed working for half a century. Imagine using a TV from 1977, let alone a flying computer powered by a nuclear battery.
Waiting for Apollo to retool themselves and come to Lemmy. That would truly hurt Reddit.
Remember kids, if you use Spotify; your coins are going to this ass hat.
BMW really doesn't understand this business model. They tried to pull this shit with CarPlay in 2018 as well. Which one could buy as an €300 option, which was rediculous by itself, but was later moved to a fucking subscription.
It also caused a huge uproar, largely forgotten by Covid now, but they also had to backtrack that. And now they've tried it again, also to backtrack again.
Fix your cars to be a better value prop than that fuckface's or the Chinese cars. Then you'll make tons of money. Not by nickel and diming your customers.
