Telsas total european market share this month is 1.2%, down from 1.8% last may. The chinese market share is 5.9%, not 5.6%.
5.9% vs 1.2% is a 5x sales rate for chinese cars versus Teslas. According to the article, china doubled its EU market share in the last year, while Tesla lost 30% of its market share in the same time period.
The title is not sensational. If anything, your comment is a bit misleading by not listing the tesla EU market share.
Add in sponsorblock as well. Its an extension that autoskips “inline” ads that creators do in video. It uses community input to know when to skip, and is excellent. You can also submit ad time stamps very easily to help out millions of people.
Kobo is made by Rakuten, a big Japanese tech company. I think Walmart just resells then.
The Russians have to be using something for their own movements.
“Go toward sun, Ivan. They are near it.”
No such videos exist. He was charged for “waving a Hezbollah flag” in a concert because they couldn’t get away with arresting him for putting this on a banner:
Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people: It is being enabled by the US government who arm and fund Israel despite their war crimes.
Fuck Israel. Free Palestine.
I don’t know if the commentor above is misinformed or just covering for Israel’s genocide.
Diplomacy often means appearing to do one thing while actually doing another.
They smile and nod, get tariffs exemptions, then somehow never actually involve themselves in this shambles.
Microsoft confirmed to The Verge that it has implemented some form of email changes to reduce “politically focused emails” inside the company.
“No justice, no peace” isn’t a slogan. It’s a cause and effect.
Vates is pretty chill, as is clear in the article. I think your point is well said, but Vates likes the “vibe” of FOSS, and is willing to take a bit on the chin to keep that energy internally. A bit of “turn the other cheek.” They also clearly enjoyed the whimsy and just straight panache of being ripped off in this manner for a while. Their company is doing well and growing rapidly from an excellent product, so I doubt the money mattered much.
Well, even Jesus started kicking ass at one point with the money lenders. It looks like they are getting there now.
Vates spun up xcp-ng off the xen hypervisor and created a great “vsphere” like management plane called xen orchestra. Its a fantastic hypervisor with vsan/built in backups/etc. With vmware self immoliating after selling to Broadcom, they are an ideal stand in for vmwares primary product. Their licensing costs are wildly reasonable, even before the vmware debacle.
They have gone from “a guy” to a 100 person company in the last few years while sticking by the FOSS ethic entirely. You can build the project from source, or even grab a few github scripts that build it for you. They have always been open and clear about letting you build it and use it however you like.
They know how to cut this abusive behaviour off. They are fully capable. They don’t want to use those tools, legal or technical, because it goes against the spirit of FOSS, even if it’s to stop someone else who is abusing the spirit of FOSS.
Being good people, they are using “name and shame” first, and are even so kind as to leave the “name” part out for now. I expect that they may make some changes down the line if the org, and maybe others playing this same game, dont play nicer.
Step one seems to be “find a new market” now that you cant use this one anymore.
AI’s second innovation, besides letting you mass fire labor, is removing all blame for any decision as long as you can thinly point to AI being involved.
It outsources responsibility, and our legal/political/moral systems are not built to handle it.
More scalable is hilarious. They take like 10 years to build and cost 18 billion dollars to get 1GW steady state.
Meanwhile, we can whip out 1GW of solar in 2yrs for 2 billion, and do it in modular sections. You don’t have steady state, but you could build solar out to compete with enough battery and high voltage transmission lines, with basically zero nuclear hurdles. It would cost, but it is viable now and much faster, and that’s with current tech. Batteries and panels are just getting cheaper and better.
There is only one active thorium reactor in the world, and its 2MW test plant in China, out in the Gobi desert. They just managed to refuel it for the first time, which is a great milestone, but in no way, shape or form are thorium reactors a viable power source anywhere else on earth, much less “so portable they fit in a 40ft shipping container.”

Renewables and batteries have steady output and can be built much faster and cheaper than nuclear. It’s why 94% of all new power generation globally in 2024 was renewables.
You can pay for ubi by taxing the robots, both physical and digital.
UBI is entirely possible if we transfer just a fraction of the wealth from corporations back to people.
“Fixes companies internal documentation” is actually a huge get for AI, and would be worth some real hype, but yeah.
That’s still peanuts compared to the marketing, which is why people are getting pretty tired of the whole AI push. The actual, incremental improvements are being run over roughshod by snake oil salesmen.
So your overall point is that AI is a better search engine. “It’s like google, but better.”
This is both likely true, and no where near fantastical enough to justify the trillion dollar hype cycle.
Yeah IT is intensely customer focused, either via direct support or project planning and coordination with execs/etc at the higher levels.
You have to have deeply arcane technical knowledge, but also at least passable social skills and patience to do the work well.
