Somehow I think they all wish for him to stay as far from the Tesla brand as possible.

The flaw in the analogy is that it assumes that those effects are limited to some companies when in reality every single company that existed in history has behaved this way if they weren’t stopped by regulation.

Not that I necessarily disagree that China would do it on a huge scale but what makes you think the US under Trump and his billionaire buddy psychopaths wouldn’t do it on a catastrophic scale already?

Well, maybe desert is a bit much for SF but among the cities where they are active it seems noticeable that there isn’t anything in a more humid or colder part of the country or really anywhere very green (where road signs might be obscured by growing trees, that kind of thing).

What if you don’t have mainstream social media?

That is literally inconceivable by the self-centered assholes who make policies like this.

Was hoping at this point in time Waymo would be expanding more aggressively.

I suspect the tech doesn’t really work anywhere but in the bright sunny desert climate of the cities where they are active now.

So the hybrid in the name refers to the combined function as a vehicle and a psychological crutch? Would that make those aggressive looking pickup trucks hybrids as well?

Is that different from the unencrypted email we have now that is 99% spam and the other 99% are delivery problems due to anti-spam technologies?

Not all of them, some are averages of many people’s guesstimates.

IMAP

Speaking of something that needs tearing down and building anew, email is a good candidate for that.

You could show me an ad for exactly what I want in that moment and I’d immediately not want it any more.

Depends, if it is an ad for an orbital laser that targets marketing executives it might work on me.

It doesn’t really matter if Israel became news, the only thing relevant to the election should have been if voting Harris, Trump or not voting was likely to have different outcomes for the topic of the genocide and there was no reason to believe that there was a chance of that.

Especially the ones who refused to vote for her on the basis of the genocide in Palestine as if Trump wasn’t just as bad or worse in supporting Israel and as if the American establishment hadn’t always supported Israel. That idea that somehow not voting for her in that election would improve a single thing about that genocide was so stupid.

So what you are saying is that if it is permanently cloudy and never sunny anymore in the future it is because of the people who love AI and hate solar power? I could see that happening.

Are you talking about the ads for nitro?

If you think everyone using the Discord/Slack/Mattermost/Rocketchat/… generation of chat with inline image display and all those features, voice and video chat and screen sharing is ever going to switch to IRC at this point you are simply delusional.

The problem with that theory is that 99% of news are not by the company running the news website either. Not to mention that they wouldn’t get any traffic if nobody was allowed to link to them.

Fun fact: the protocol part of each URL (http/https at the start) is officially called the scheme too. So I guess technically you scheme every time you click a link.

Two clicks to do what? I mean okay, if I just want to close the tab so I don’t have to look at it anymore that is maybe the one action I can perform in there within two clicks but what else can get done with just two clicks? First you need to navigate to the file which is painfully slow and inconsistent and then you need to select an operation from a usually nested context menu.

Locally I usually just use the terminal/CLI (on Linux), much more flexible and you can use scripts or specialized tools (like rsync or fdupes) for operations you need to perform repeatedly. GUIs just tend to be too slow and repetitive for my taste.

On the other hand Google Drive is still a lot better than that monstrosity you need to battle if you want to actually create API keys for any Google product so for my limited needs I usually just deal with using it every month or two when I really need to.
