Pictrs removes Exif data, yes. Most likely it removed the rotation data as well.
Not all "fun driving" is reckless driving. Endangering other people is never right of course. But the majority of people with car hobbies are very safe drivers.
If driving is not really your interest, that's totally fine. I don't personally see much appeal to it either. But that doesn't mean you should yuck other people's yum.
If the goal is to completely phase out ICE vehicles, shouldn't we be welcoming technology like this? Some people are eager to embrace electric vehicles, which is great. Other people are more hesitant for many reasons.
If someone doesn't want to buy an electric car because they'd have to give up a manual transmission (which many people prefer), this technology might change their mind. More people would buy electric cars.
And if you don't really care about having a manual transmission in your car, then you can just ignore this technology altogether and buy a regular EV. Which is exactly why this article comes across so strangely - the author is complaining about tech that doesn't really affect them whatsoever.
The author of this article just seems to fundamentally misunderstand (or deliberately ignore) why people like to drive. Just a lot of, "I don't like it so nobody should."
Lemmy has blown up within the past week. "Taking down reddit" was always a pipe dream, but now we have a real alternative with committed users. I'd call that a success.
How is that not a foul???
This alone makes lemmy so much better than reddit
Does Lemmy auto update the comment threads?
At some point, yes. The gen 1 is clunky but over time, with Apples r&d, the design will be refined and the price will come down. Imo apple wouldn't release cutting edge tech like this without believing fully in it.
If you put a direct link to a gif or video as the "link" of your post, I think it embeds automatically. But Lemmy right now does not support uploading videos directly.
