People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars
  • Yes. Faking manual/geared transmission doesn’t actually give you the power of either of those, it’s just to ease people into a new gearless car.

    I prefer manual over all, but CVT fixed the issue classic automatic transmission had of limiting the power you can exert. I think if manufacturers can improve the heat problem of the CVT belts and overall reliability then it may become a new standard that even enthusiasts wouldn’t mind.

  • Yes. And most modern phones nowadays let you play music through the charging port aswell

  • People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars
  • Car manufacturers need to realize that people already have a touchscreen that has a GPS, podcasts, music, and text messaging service in their pockets 24/7. Best option would be to make built in phone holders that are plugged in via USB C and connect to the sound system. Voila.

    Stuff like this makes me very glad to own my 2015 Nissan Altima. I get occasionally let down by its somewhat lackluster engine and CVT transmission, but it cuts all the crap with infotainment bloatware in the dashboard and how it works. The only screen in my car is a small black strip that can only display text as most cars used to have. All you do is plug in your phone to the aux cord and use your phone as the touchscreen it was made to be, no need for another one. Physical buttons galore.

    Weekly Deutsch Practice - Week 1

    Hello lemmites! I decided that a great way to get some use out of this community while it gathers steam is to have a mega thread where people can simply come and practice their German with people on similar skill levels. If you're a more fluent speaker, and see any mistakes in someone else's sentences, feel free to correct them and possibly explain why.

    I'm thinking how it'll go is I'll have a prompt for the week that you can answer and I'll try to reply to you, or you can totally ask your own question, or just comment about whatever is going on in your life, or going through your head.

    I'll get the ball rolling: Was ist deine Lieblingsstadt in Deutschland? Warum?

    Meine Lieblingsstadt in Deutschland ist Düsseldorf, weil meine Familie von dort stammt.

    The German Language - Lemmy.world

    The German community I have made is exactly what the title says: A place for people learning German and German speakers to discuss the language.

    If you are learning German and have any grammar questions, pronunciation questions, etc. this is the place to ask.

    If you simply want to share your journey of learning German, this community is also the right place to do it.

    Anything related to the German language belongs in this community. Feel free to join it, though note I am quite an inexperienced moderator as of now.

    Welcome to c/German on lemmy.world!

    Hey there everybody, I'm DVD.

    I came to the Fediverse/Lemmy recently after the mass exodus from, competitors, like I'm sure many of you have.

    I've been knees deep in learning the German Language since October, and I wanted a community to help myself and others along in this process of language learning, which I noticed Lemmy lacked, so I created c/German.

    I should preface this community by saying that I am probably the least qualified person to run a community such as this. I would probably fail the Goethe B1 Exam for German, and I have never moderated any community before, not on Lemmy nor its competitors.

    But, I saw the need for a place like this, and I stepped up to the plate. If you are seeing this and are interested, feel free to join. If the place isn't quite as lively as you thought it would be, try creating a post or commenting on some existing ones. I promise to work on community engagement as this place (hopefully) grows.

    With that being said, also message me if you are interested in any moderator roles. I will gladly accept others who are willing to make sure this community stays on track, and remains toxic-free.
