Hell yeah! It’ll be super satisfying to give your system a good cleaning and upgrade. Enjoy!

Jebus, I cant believe the engineers would allow them to be plugged wrong. It’s so easy to design that mistake away

How dare you. I would never go so low

Fr srious tho, it is really tragic. The young man especially; he was completely innocent and deserved better

Srsly, it’s clear these guys didnt play video games with controllers growing up. Could you imagine getting left drift down there!?

They should have had an entirely redundant system on there; the controller being the first item on the list and from there to the motors.

Such bad taste, sir. Have a reluctant upvote for that absolutely crushing wit.

Aug 11th is the peak this year. Should be good tonight too :)

Excellent point on the webp.

I’m guessing that being google’s baby they integrated it into chromium

You are totally right AND He’s making a valid point with his sarcastic joke of “shut up, nerd!”

“Nobody cares” means companies dont want to spend money to incorporate it if there’s no demand from consumers.

Most consumers have no idea what a jpeg even is.

It won’t be until Apple or someone brands it as an iPeg and claims you have a smol pp if your device doesn’t have it that folks will notice.

Im reminded of telling folks about shoutcasts and nobody cared. Then apple comes out with podcasts and everyone was suddenly excited about 8 year old streaming tech

sudo apt install python3 didnt do it?

I think adoption of the JSLint license’s ”This software can oly be used for good and not evil" clause would cover that. I hear IBMs lawyers had issue with it lol

Which norms and why?

Breaking free from societal norms because they are norms will not get you anywhere.

Wearing a shirt that says Fuck you and being a glum dick about everything wont win you friends or convert anyone to your cause.

Being approachable and listening to others in order to connect with them as a human… Then when they ask if you want to hail satan as is the norm and you say no, my friend, for I only praise the Sun. They may be more inclined to see some sun followers as not total assholes as they pray to our dark lord

Itf youre in a situation for it, it can be fun to move to a placewhenre others choose a different societal norm more in line with your own ideals. Like Florida, where some child labor laws were repealed… Take that societal norm

King James stable

Good points. Its rough being a member of the majority that is not in agreement with the governmental official line. Like I’m pretty sure most Russians hate putin, most Israeli s hate Bibi, most Chinese hate Xi and most USians hate both Biden and Trump… But here we all are, just trying to do right by people as best we can while still keeping our families from being destroyed by the pressures that be.

We just gotta keep the pressure up. Dont let the bastards grind you down. They are getting paid by some of the richest folks on the planet to do just that, while you have to make an honest living… Dont let them win. Keep your heart open to your neighbors and beyond

Preach!

I’m convinced that were it not for Mozilla, microsoft would have prevented google from taking over. We’d be in a shittyworld controlled by the asinine cerification heierarchy of microsoft obfuscation.

MS owned a big chunk of Apple before Safari was a thing and they had crazy drm-ish plans with IE before they got thwacked with the monoploy stick by the feds in the late nineties. Netscape was on the ropes and there was essentially no one left.

I think it’s time for Google to be thwacked. Apple too. They’re going really anti-consumer in shady ways leading us to a weird new AI/surveillence capitalism led middle ages… Like no new knowledge, education will be towards the new corporate capitalist religion that gets people to serve their lords and noone has money or knowledge but the king and a few of their buddies. They’ll grant the shineyist most deluded followers with a meaningless knighthoods that only serve to get that person laid so others will strive to sacrifice for the king so they can win the knighthood lottery and get laid and raisea family in a nice house… Anyway…

It’s no good. We gotta skip straight to the next Renaissance where everyone has control over their identity, data and thoughts and can follow their own god in peace and healthy debate. And everone has healthcare and basic needs met and we’re all moving towards Star Trek.

Moving towards Star Trek is what made the 90’s great… Well, more accurate to say it was the great thing out of the nineties; before the new fascisism riding the 9/11 fear wave and the TSA and before ‘enshittification’ was a word.

Anyway… What was I sayinf?

Oh yeah Open source all the way!

I’m going to replace could with will in my head so I can sleep really well tonght

As a happy cis person I’ll tell you.

Corporations are making some ads aimed at not me.

Some media programs are being made where I’m not the only target audience.

Also some cis writers and performers found they can’t hate on trans people without being told some people dont want to hear it and wont give them money or attention anymore.

If I have a child that says they are trans I can’t beat them without the potential consequences that come with beating your child for any reason.

It’s rough out there /s

I haven’t. Whatre they doing?

I haven’t. Whatre they doing?

That is definitely where the corporations are trying to push everyone, but that has nothing to do with electric powertrain cars and everything to do with capitalism powered enshittification.

I do know one person that uses their fairphone to access their self-hosted services on their raspberry pi and uses their Linux daily driver to make money and browse the web.

They also encourage people to reject surveillence capitalism, to do what they can for our ecosystem and to join the fediverse to help stop the slide into the new feudalism.

You make an excellent point!

I expect electric will soon be much cheaper than gas cars. Battery prices are still falling, despite the demand outpacing supply. Lithium refineries and mines are in the works and should be online in 5 years.

More importantly, electric cars are much simpler than gas cars. Anyone saying otherwise has no appreciation for the genius behind modern motors, transmissions, traction control and exhaust systems. There are an order of magnitude the number of moving parts in a combustion engine than an electric motor.

The price is higher because of the still-young supply chain for batteries and the infantile production lines for EVs.
