Well that's eerie as hell

Fisker debuts an entire range of new EVs, including one sub-$30,000 in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

I remember when Tesla announced the Model 3 as a sub-$30k car. Since then there have been other EVs hitting that mark, but I still harbor some skepticism whenever prices get announced that far in advance of release. But it's good to see more EVs entering the market!

Fake edit: I looked it up, and Tesla is offering the Model 3 starting at $40k. That's more than 30, but tbh it's not as pricey as I thought it was.

Op-ed: Why the great #TwitterMigration didn’t quite pan out in c/technology@beehaw.org

Isn't that the whole point of the op-ed, though? They're saying that Lemmy and Mastodon aren't comparable to Reddit and Twitter and aren't going to replace them, because the friction is too high and the differentiators don't matter for the majority of people. The differentiators matter to us and we're totally happy to be on a smaller network, but I think the op-ed is a fair reality check for the subset of people who came here thinking this would replace the big platforms.

Gaming table that my sibling and I designed and built (beehaw.org)

Back when the pandemic started, my sibling and I decided to take on a little woodworking project during lockdown: a table for tabletop gaming, featuring fold-out player stations and a TV in the middle for battle maps. After more than 3 years, we finally finished!

This was our first major woodworking project, and we made a ton of rookie mistakes. I was too impatient with the wood stain, and I got really inconsistent results, and despite our best efforts a lot of pieces didn't line up quite right. But overall the table is beautiful and it's built like a tank, so it should last through many campaigns.

Hopefully this project will be the first of many!
