World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The swasticar manufacturer has the most advanced tech car?
Their cars are a joke. Opening glove boxes through menus. Getting rid of almost all buttons to just install a giant monitor in the middle?
And don't get me started about their full self driving robo taxis next year since ages ago. At no point in time (even before the rest of the world caught on that Elon is a complete moron) was buying a Tesla a good idea.
Ah yes, robo taxi is what makes the car bad?
You're not interested in an answer. You'll just rewrite reality to fit your narrative. You can hate Elon and tesla all you want, doesn't change the facts. As someone once said, science cares not about your opinion.
The car is bad because of it's inherent design flaws and bad UX.
Robo Taxi, "not so full self driving" and similar things don't make the car bad but show the practices Tesla uses to lure people into buying a car. By promising features they can't deliver. Same with Tesla Semi, new Roadster, etc.
About hating Elon. Hate is a strong word but he is clearly a faschist moron. That doesn't make cars technically bad but I'd like to hear some arguments how a moron being in charge helps the company make better cars.
And regarding science, there are some papers that show that cars with screens are way less safe because you have to look away to interact with it and that "glorified cruise control" too because you should pay attention because the car has too many flaws but in practice people stop paying attention.
So your response to "I don't care about taxi that's not going to be available to me" is to bring a truck to the discussion?...
Then you ramble on preferences and bring cruise control into this like every other car doesn't have those and the screen being worse in 90% of the competition doesn't exist, but that makes tesla bad?
Give me a fucking break, like I said, you're rewriting reality. Go to Ford, I'm sure the screen being so far down at thigh level makes it so much safer! Or porche with their haptic screen? Or maybe let's look at MG with everything behind hidden behind 4 menus? Oh while we're at it! How come every car is now advertised as "its quick to turn off lane assist! Just takes few taps or dedicated button!" How about they make the lane assist actually work and not piss off the driver?
There were several cars I went to test drive where they turn it off before I got into the car.
But hey, Tesla has so many flaws! Not like they're the most efficient and don't need to have 30% bigger battery... No no no, that's fine, we'll ignore it, right? Because let me check notes... Ah yes, glove box is opened through screen. Pack it up boys, Tesla is done for. This guy came in and vaguely pointed irrelevant things to win the argument about personal cars.
Have you ever actually used one? Been inside one?
I've heard tesla drivers complain about a lot of things but the infotainment console is far above what other manufacturers do. Thats not because it's great, it's because other manufacturers are just worse. 🤷
Any car manufacturer who removes the instrument panel from right infront of the driver and placing the instruments in the infotainment system deserves to fail.
I don't disagree with that portion, but the actual software is good. Don't get me wrong theres a LOT of shitty design decisions with Teslas, but again a lot of manufacturers seriously struggle with infotainment systems not being complete shit.
They're not interested.
Robo taxi on the other side of the planet is meant to sway my opinion on the car...
