One of the reasons is probably the same why Tesla isn't releasing their Cybertruck outside of the us - the Crash-Tests there just don't factor in pedestrian survival rates if they are hit by the car that you want to release on the market. Most of those giant trucks don't make it here because they'd just run over any pedestrian they hit without them having any chance of survival even at low speeds.
Add to that the totally car-centered infrastructure that basically punishes everyone not in a car and you have the perfect storm for dead pedestrians and bikers...

Do Bosch tools not exist outside of Germany? Here the professional (blue) line is pretty much on par with hilti and Makita in terms of quality if not better depending on the type of tool

Just because it's the same doesn't make it worse though - so it definitely is up there with the best game soundtracks of games from this year

It's always easier to put the blame on someone else and not change anything than to accept that you might have a tiny part to play in the solution, too

Why is the guardian doing such a shitty headline?

The problem is that with that kind of budget you could improve a lot more traditional trains

It's really just hyperloop 2.0 in order to not improve the classic public transportation

They do care but for the wrong reason (because it's costing them votes) - so their solution is copying right-wing positions in an attempt to win back voters when that's only normalizing their viewpoints

One country dominated clean energy growth this year, and it isn't the US, UK, or Germany. It's China, by a landslide.

Not every country is like the us

Especially in Europe a lot of them try to better people instead of punishing them and many have special institutions for teenagers that are my like psychiatric wards than prisons

And some people still say that the customers are helpless and calling for boycott doesn't work...

If people would demand other industries to be more in line with their moral values (like about climate change) that could also change a lot

Saudi Arabia's next act is supplying the world with EV batteries

Jump

hh93 @lemm.ee 2y ago

Of course they would - they need to find an alternative to oil as a sole basis of what's keeping the country wealthy.

Although I'd say that producing and exporting hydrogen would already be a great alternative that would be basically interchangeable with selling oil and Saudi Arabia has a lot of very sunny land available to produce the energy required

It's basically the same kind of treatment the paparazzi and yellow press are giving prominent people and somehow it's okay then just because they are famous.

But for decades that was normalized because people were buying it and now it's spreading to other areas as well

What's up with Epic Games?

Jump

hh93 @lemm.ee 2y ago

The problem is that without those exclusive deals noone would change

Most people didn't buy EA games at origin or Ubisoft games at UPlay even though you needed those launchers anyway. They even didn't buy CDProjekt games at gog despite the games being dem free there.

Excluding deals on sought after games is literally the only way to get a majority of the players moving away from there comfortable "I have ally games and friends there already" position

People are lazy and hate change - without force it's not going to happen

No it won't - people are lazy

Even CDProjekt sold many more copies on steam than GOG when you

Actually own the ge there instead of renting a licence for it.
Know that 100% of your money go to the game developers.
Get many additional goodies for free

Don't tell me people are choosing the better deal when it's all just steam having the might of "I have most of my games there already" on their side...

Let's also not forget that game developers have no choice but to release on steam if they want to have any chance on breaking even since they have that huge of a market share and that Epic challenging that already lead to better deals for developers since Valve hat virtually free reign before
