This.

Also, upgrade to Linux.

You’re not very good at this…

Don’t know about availability in the US, but at least in Europe there are many, many alternatives out there, both from traditional brands (Mercedes, BMW, etc etc) and more recently, from Chinese brands.

A friend bought a BYD Seal the other day, he got a total bargain for their top version at 41k€, but that got me looking into them, and their lineup is looking pretty impressive.

In Europe at least, Chinese cars.

Last month on my neck of the woods, YoY car sales were up 16% and yet Tesla was down 68% this month alone, while BYD was up 331,6% (yes, 3 digits).

With these changes, Tesla isn’t even in the top 10 anymore (at one point it was #2!) and has been leapfrogged by BYD, who seems very likely to continue climbing and break into the top 3 sellers.

Tesla is dead.

The idiot digs deeper, and shows his true colours. Asinine.

He who sucketh a dick can accommodate a second one.

Why are you crossing out China?

Did you miss the massive investments China is doing there, to buy influence?

Here’s one: https://www.businessinsider.com/satellite-photos-show-byds-massive-hungary-factory-taking-shape-2025-4

No. We get exactly what his comment is about.

If he was in the renewables camp, there would be no point, in this discussion over solar, to bring up nuclear. It’s absolutely unrelated.

What he’s doing is pushing the thought into people’s heads that nuclear is a good solution, and that’s why I’m calling him out for. For being a shill.

No. I type less.

This is the sort of stupidification of issues that we see from bot farms: cherry pick one point, then blow it out of proportion so that there’s no more nuance, no more gray, no room for middle ground.

Everything becomes black and white, polarised, simple: with us or against us.

Fucking moron.

This just hands over an EU country to the Russian and Chinese influences, which is why Hungary is where it’s at in the first place.

This is the kind of thing that needs covert counter-ops: undermine and question orban at every online forum, constantly make Putin look bad, push against every single government policy, etc.

So basically what they’re doing to every other western nation.

How idiotic.

They’re getting indoctrinated by the fox news and qanon groups or sovcits or whoever gets to them first. It’s not a question of if they get indoctrinated, but by whom.

Some will actually be capable of realising it and break free, but then you have the one actively opting into it.

At least the churches have discernable objectives, unlike many other groups operating in the cesspits of the internet.

Meh. If social media served a purpose, to me, it was to show just how many dimwits are out there who will beg for someone to tell them what to do and how to act and what to think.

You can take religion from them, but they won’t stop being gullible and lost, and they’ll just fall prey to the next scumbag with no scruples that comes along, be it a politician or some other con artist.

The problem isn’t religion - it’s an excuse, a cover.

It said the White House had conflated that incident with a “completely separate” report by BBC Verify, the corporation’s factchecking team, which found a viral video posted on social media was not linked to the aid distribution centre it claimed to show. “This video did not run on BBC news channels and had not informed our reporting,” it said. “Conflating these two stories is simply misleading.”

BBC is misunderstanding this. They didn’t conflate the two separate things intentionally.

I fully believe they did it out of sheer incompetence and ignorance, and when they realised the mistake, they did what they always do and doubled down on it. The dimwits who elect them will get confused otherwise.

This, plus the office can come with some perks that might be useful to you or help you save some money - mine offers soup, bread and fruit, and also showers + deodorant (for people who like to cycle or jog to work).

Is this a job posting from the British Empire days?

A good point, but I’m not sure that’s where the bar is. How does it compare to other self-driving systems that have lidar, for instance?

It really depends what its used for.

Anything that is public facing would never work without constant maintenance and upgrades, be it a computer OS or some complex piece of hardware.

They know, they tried to do that on Greenland with the locals. It failed miserably…
