It's not X turning into Y when it comes to evolution. There were all kinds of different dinosaurs, that evolved I to all kinds of different niches. Most of those then went extinct due to rocks falling from the sky, or the entirety of India turning into a huge volcano etc.

So it's not that a T-Rex turned into a chicken, it's that T-Rexs lived alongside other dinosaurs that developed feathers and filled more niches etc. those that survived eventually became birds. (Have you ever seen an Emu up close?!? No wonder the Australians lost to them 🤣)

Disclaimer: I have no specific knowledge. Also, remember this happened over (~~billions?~~ hundreds of millions) of years.

Other comments about just not noticing feathers are valid too.

And taste worse...

The second hand market is the place to be, so many 'ridden once' bikes around.

I just picked up a road bike for my commute for £74! The tires still had the little rubber bits from the mold on them!

I'm conflicted.

it should make the team competition clearer at the back of the field, and maybe increase the on track competition a little further back.

But if that's the goal, why not just give points back to 20th? We already extended it from either 6th or 8th didn't we? The only problem with that would be damaged cars continuing way off the pace to pick up the free point(s).

You could put a limit where the points stop if your more than 2 laps behind? But then max would lap the field twice down to 5th or something 😆

the link to the wikipedia page with the audio clip really helped, made no sense without that.

I guess the 'simple' way of doing this would be adding tags to communities like 'art' 'hobbies' 'sport' 'football' etc. This might then let the app suggest others based on the tags you are subscribed to.

It would probably still require some AI/analytics to work out the links based on user activity in different communities/tags but I think it would make it easier to group interests and promote smaller communities.

It could also improve Lemmy visibility in Masterdon if the tags are used as hashtags or something. (Would require more work)

This is why I thought some of their recent actions that hurt the lowest played artists was strange, you want to encourage artists to NOT use the big publishers to help break their triopoly.

I think the most recent changes are fine in practice, but the optics are not great which probably matters a lot.

Kinda acceptable if you have a slow release cadence. Everything needs to be reviewed and fixed/accepted (with defect/US raised) before production though.

Needs to be in a smaller team with decent Devs too though!

The high prices in Europe due to Ukraine really lit a fire under everyone's asses to switch energy sources. Useful, even if a lot of people suffered because of it.

Does anyone else think the water just looks... Strange? I think their wave texture is just too large? Needs to be more smaller waves.

It wasn't clear in the article - how much notice did the customers get?

So to be clear here, no one party has a majority, so it would have to be a coalition.

Even then, they don't have a big enough majority to overturn a presidential veto.
