What amazes me are the number of companies selling "lifetime" VPN service or "lifetime" cloud storage service with a straight face.

Like... that is TRANSPARENTLY a scam. You're literally gonna sell lifetime licenses to people with more money than common sense, until the entire system is overloaded, then just go out of business.

While I'm not naive enough to think there will be any meaningful reduction in personal car usage in my remaining lifetime (~20-30 years), I'd like us to START making infrastructure investments that will at least point us in the right direction. But no, it's endless stroads and sprawl and retail development and single family housing as far as the eye can see.

That auto-drive-ready car will be ready for auto-drive any time now, we swear!

kbin is a different code base than Lemmy and doesn't support the same API. At least not yet. But they use the same ActivityPub protocols and so can communicate with each other, and with other Fediverse applications.

The good news is that you can subscribe to communities on kbin servers via Lemmy. And once they're in a Lemmy instance you can use Lemmy apps.
