A better headline: "Democrats seek ways to cut off Putin's Johnson."

@dartov Regulation in Canada/EU may be the driving force behind the change back to more ergonomic controls -- at least one can hope. I'm 99.9% sure my next car won't be a Tesla (better options exist today that didn't in 2020 when we got ours, plus these days new Teslas come with that Musky smell that you can't get rid of).

"To shift into drive, reverse, or park, Tesla owners will need to use their car's touchscreen.”
Look, touchscreens in vehicles are horrible:
1. It's really hard to hit the right area on the screen when the vehicle is moving, because you have nowhere to rest your hand to steady it.
2. I don't want to take off my gloves to turn anything off or on. No, "use special tactile gloves" is not a solution, because they are expensive, you can't be very precise while wearing them, and they gradually lose that magic touch over time as you wear them and get them grimy.
3. No, "use voice commands" is not a great alternative. Try yelling "turn off defrosters" loud enough to be heard over the noise of those defrosters.
4. I shouldn't need to wear my reading glasses to operate a vehicle. Progressive lenses are not an option for many due to cost and bifocals remove a large chunk of the vision field that you need for actual driving.
So, please let's all collectively move past the point where touchscreens are used for anything other than infotainment and GPS.

Note, Trump has already cut off all funding for Ukraine via his limp sockpuppet in congress.

Mstyslav Chernov, Michelle Mizner and Raney Aronson-Rath win the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film for "20 Days in Mariupol."
Mstyslav Chernov, director, said -
"I am honored but I will probably be the first director on this stage to say that I wish I had never made this film."
“I wish to be able to exchange this for Russia never attacking Ukraine, never invading our cities. I wish to be able to exchange this for Russian not killing 10,000 of my fellow Ukrainians.”

@Anarcat That's only for people who write "OCD" as "CDO" (because that way the letters are in alphabetical order).

@labbott well, no, I don't actually write that (I don't intentionally try to be a jerk to people :)). I just quietly suffer.

@Yuki I just use "Eastern" or "Pacific" or whatnot. "Let's meet around 1PM Pacific" -- is unambiguous and not that much longer to type. :)

Like this post if you start your message back with "assuming you mean EDT..."

Welcome back to the time of year when my OCD is triggered every time someone tries to schedule a meeting with me in "EST."

Happy Women's day to all. Women's rights are human rights. May you never feel like a prop, trope or property.

I propose referring to "open-core" software as "open-sore" -- it will intentionally bleed you unless you pay for the enterprise version.

@ada I think at this point everyone on Fedi mostly understands that following someone gives you a whole-human experience. :)
