Everyone has their own line, and I don’t begrudge people theirs.

But at the end of the day we all have to function somehow. Nobody’s hands are completely clean.

I love shorts.

They’re comfy and easy to wear.

This is absolutely not the case, and has historically never BEEN the case.

Think of your computer like an old CD player. If you own the player and the CDs you can play them. Forever. NOBODY else gets a say. You can’t be stopped. That’s what ownership MEANS. It means YOURS. Not right now - not a license - not until you don’t get a security update - not “as long as you don’t try to play CDs we don’t like on it”… it means until either you or it physically DIE.

This is how EVERY SINGLE THING you own should be, and every single instance where that is NOT the case is one where something has been stolen from you - every bit as much as if I walked into your house, picked it up, and walked out with it. If my taking something from your house and walking out pisses you off, so should this. I have no idea how to make “I have paid money for something to then have it taken away from me” more anger inducing than it should already be.

He’s saying you can take down 100 data centers…

Or one CEO.

Not that I’D ever advocate or cheer for violence, no sir.

The difference between polymath and psychopath is about 200 years of scientific discovery that you willfully ignore in favor of screwing around with random crap.

Lithium recycling has never been the problem. The problem is most EVs are new, and people aren’t buying enough of them, so there isn’t enough capacity of old batteries in the system yet for business to profit from building the plants to do the recycling. And now some stupid orange asshole has been sabotaging production, so we’re not going to hit that tipping point for decades.

Because calling them Nazis doesn’t affect them - they’re proud of it. I don’t particularly care about being ACCURATE with those pieces of trash, and my attempts to do so would only be taken by them as a sign of weakness. It’s about getting to them psychologically and showing them I don’t respect them in a language they can understand. I get that the language is offensive to people who are not them as well, but it’s like a gun - it’s not just about the weapon, it’s about who you point it at. If it gets to Nazi bastards, I’m going to use it.

Given wealth inequality growing in every country, expect this trend to continue.

Higher prices for everything as more and more products become luxury only goods, and everything else is for the peasantry.

I’d also like a lot of things that will not stop to stop.

That’s Elon “Why would we need lidar? Humans don’t use lidar, they just use their eyes and there’s no reason technology could possibly improve on human vision” Musk?

Ugh… He’s not impressed with the gasoline free, infinitely superior propulsion technology - he’s impressed by how much the in vehicle systems are like smartphones.

I threw up a little. We’re never escaping this bullshit.

So, just like here on Earth then.

To be fair, it sure seems to be a pattern that the most anti-consumer, limited crap usually wins these battles. Look at Apple.

Maybe it’s Sweeney’s personal unlikeability that makes the difference here.

Bees all the way down.

I figure with Booking.com I’m going to end up with a windowless, roach infested hotel room anyway, so I look for properties with reviews like “No windows. Lots of roaches. But a lovely breakfast.”

Look on the bright side…

You’ll get to experience FO5 in real life.

Maybe get more people working on ES6 instead so it can launch before we’re all dead.
