Yeah, you buy the mandatory bit and put the rest into a savings account. Got a friend who saved a lot of money this way. But it's a gamble. You could wreck your car on day one.

I mean, for car insurance you could just look up what a good insurance would cost you and put that money into a savings account if you're a careful person. It's a gamble, but most accidents you have are probably going to be fairly cheap. This would not be a good advice for home insurance as you wouldn't be able to save enough to buy a new house if yours burned to the ground.

Out of curiosity, why would you prefer that your country be outside of the EU, and what would be the benefits you think?

 

French President Emmanuel Macron has threatened tariffs on Chinese goods, just days after a state visit to China, in an interview published Sunday by Les Echos. He also stated that he still believes a negotiated solution is possible to address the trade deficit between the world’s second-largest economy and the European Union (EU).

 

Italy is set to open the Mediterranean’s first sanctuary for dolphins that have lived in captivity, offering a natural but supervised home for the animals as marine parks across Europe close. Located off Taranto, the San Paolo Dolphin Refuge is expected to receive its first dolphins by mid-2026 and will prioritise welfare over numbers, providing medical care, monitoring, and protected enclosures.

That's some Trump maths right there. But if you find a service 110% cheaper let me know, because I'll buy A LOT from them. 😁

I mean, it's better than no internal market, but it sure can get a whole lot better.

It's not missing, it's just very VERY far down.

No idea what happened.

They took away functionality and locked it behind a subscription. How is that not enshittification?

I was providing data. Now I'm not.

[–] CAVOK@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Good app, but it doesn't have live traffic data I'm afraid.

They're chasing me away. I'm not interested in paying but I was willing to contribute data in exchange for using it. That's the deal most people have with Google anyway.

 

I just found out that the latest upgrade of magic earth no longer works in the car, it now requires a subscription. Still works on the phone, but having it in the car display is just better.

So is there an alternative that does what waze/magicearth does that you know of? I'm thinking about the real time traffic and hazards update mostly.

They're not reading the emails, they probably have an ai to combine and summarise. So then that ai can talk to my ai. 😁

[–] CAVOK@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Is it any worse than using the canned response from the page? I'm obviously interested, I'm just using ai to make it easier.

However a hand written note is probably the most efficient.

Doesn't have to be mine, you can mail yours if you like. Or just pick a few at random.

 

I've emailed my representatives. Have you?
