Someone has died due to a touchscreen. A woman had a Tesla which you put in park forwards or reverse with a touchscreen. She’d always had trouble with it and got it wrong and reversed into a pond. That meant the power went out so she couldn’t open that door. To get to the emergency escape handle you have to remove the speakers in the doors. So she drowned.

The kicker? Her husband was a millionaire and he immediately put out a statement absolving Tesla and musk from any wrongdoing.

Unless everybody now says “I’ll never buy anything from dodge”. If it doesn’t impact sales it really will become the new norm.

I’ve no idea if they’ve changed course again. I went there out of curiosity after this post but it’s all hidden behind a log in screen and i couldn’t be arsed to sign up or try to remember or find my credentials.

But since you don’t really want to hide your content if you’re small and trying to grow, I’m going to assume that it’s insular and doesn’t want people to stumble on its content.

The entry for Outer Wilds should just read “nothing. Don’t try to learn anything about this game before playing”.

Yeah, the vibe was definitely left-wing before, and it was a shock to many of the more prominent members. You started getting the appearance of subs which were “this is to discuss how Jews control all the money globally” and prominent members who avoided saying anything completely explicit on the site, but whose twitter accounts would reveal them to be prominent members of swastika-using Nazi groups.

The owner declared himself to be “a free speech absolutist” and that he wanted to promote conflict on the site and a lot of people, myself included, just went “yeah, I see where this is going” and left.

Squabblr’s the one where the owner wuickly outed himself as a right-wing transphobe and caused a mass-exodus of early adopters, wasn’t it?
