  • Hyundai is listening to what consumers want much more readily than other manufacturers, and their body designs strike an incredible balance between modern familiarity and retrofuturism. It’s almost exactly what I want from a new vehicle, other than the fact that they use all the same forced telemetry that other brands are using.

    They’re also offering a great spread of electric AND hybrid vehicles to satisfy consumers worried about charger availability as well as consumers worried about the impact of gasoline-powered vehicles.

    I won’t be surprised if they continue to increase their market share for a long time to come. If only privacy concerns were as common among the broader population as they seem to be here in the Fediverse, then maybe they might address those issues as well and be a no-brainer purchase.






  • By moderating our online discussion boards to better weed out posts, comments, replies, etc. from foreign interference and domestic Astroturfing that present themselves as far-left in order to convince people that perfect should be the enemy of better. I swear, nobody comes to the conclusion “Esteemed prosecutor Kamala Harris isn’t as bad as convicted felon Donald Trump, but she still has flaws and isn’t worthy of my vote in a competition for the most influential job in the world that will certainly come down to one of the two of them” on their own. That idea has to be planted by someone arguing in bad faith, and repeated in many forms for someone to begin to believe it.

    Your “Explanation” essentially boiled down to “Nuh-uh!”, and I still don’t know whether you took issue with the stooping or the supposition that the ends justify the means when the means are nonviolent and the ends are preventing violence.

    Or maybe it was the simple math analogy that went over your head?

    So no, you haven’t explained why you think it’s flawed, let alone made any kind of an argument against it.

    What part is flawed exactly? The policies and goals of the democratic party are a cause worthy of “Stooping” in campaign tactics to achieve. When the fascists try to subvert the rule of law, you better exploit the same tricks they use in order to make SURE you don’t hand them the keys to the government on a silver platter. Play by their rules, then fix the issues with the rules that they play by. We can’t afford to let them win.

    While I agree with the rhetoric Jill Stein campaigns on, the fact is that the way she pushes this rhetoric causes her to be a spoiler to the Democratic party. If we were under a parliamentary system, I would vote for Jill Stein to be my representative. But because our system is locked to two parties, I have to distrust her.




  • Technically assembly is a human-readable, paper-thin abstraction of the machine code. It really only implements one additional feature over raw machine code and that’s labels, which prevents you from having to rewrite jump and goto instructions EVERY TIME you refactor upstream code to have a different number of instructions.

    So not strictly the bunch of bits. But very close to it.
