Yeah I think they would have had to slow down or stop sales and make a big deal about reworking their production lines for better QC. Then come back a year or two later with actual improvements. I think Tesla probably have enough brand recognition that they can survive without Musk so hopefully they kick him out.

I think the US car industry as a whole is due for a major price adjustment, so I kind of see that as it’s own issue. Car prices need to be cut at least in half to make them practical as utility items. We’re being asked to drive vehicles that costs as much as a house did 30 years ago, and are approaching the same size, on the highway and leave them parked inches from each other.

I’m afraid it would just give them new ideas.

Yeah but having desperately poor states bordering wealthy ones would require lots of security. There will be lots of desperate, unhappy people with lots of guns and potentially no reciprocity. I worry it would just lead to modern day bleeding Kansas or an Amercan wide version of the Troubles.

Like they’re already trying to take over the federal government, what’s stopping them from trying to take over a neighboring state?

My main point against the idea is that they wouldn’t need to hide the fact it was happening. If it were possible with current tech there would already be some AI subscription bullshit that listens and takes notes on everything you do all day.

Honestly most people I saw outside of the hardcore tech sphere were excited about apple intelligence until it became clear what a shit show it was. I don’t see how it was supposed to be any less invasive than windows recall but it got a completely different reaction. You just need a good advertising/propoganda department and people will pay you for the privilege of being spied on.

I think it has to do with whether or not the battery has a current going through it while hot. I imagine heat probably makes the lithium more soluable in the electrolyte liquid, then the disolved material migrates with the current flow. Heating it without a current flow might allow it to redissolve and at least distribute it more evenly so it doesn’t make one long spike that shorts the battery.

We gave a wolf diabetes which is pretty dire.

Maybe the real enemeies were the friends we made along the way? Wait… no probably not.

I’ve used Tutanota for a long time with no issues.

For the keyboard I would try Florisboard on f-droid, it gives a lot more spacing and sizing options. I basically make the keys as wide as possible and then play with key height. The bottom offset let’s you raise or lower the keyboard as a whole to suit your grip.

I was a long time AnySoftkeyBoard user until a year or two ago when I finally decided Floris was just better. I’ve tried FUTO keyboard a little bit, it seemed fine but didn’t offer enough customization options.

Calyx has you relock the bootloader similar to graphene so it shouldn’t flag as rooted.

Not exactly the same situation but I’ve noticed that Chrome has moved from only being virtually unusable with my VPN running, to actually unusable. It just refuses to resolve URLs and won’t search, previously it just gave tons of Captcha popups if I tried to do anything. Honestly at this point I’ve just accepted I have to make firefox based browsers work for everything from now on.

He’s a tragic case but god damn if this isn’t one of the funniest clips on the internet.

Iceraven, it let’s me install desktop firefox extensions on android.

I think this is also a problem of old timers not being able to articulate their concerns well. There is probably a reason they do or don’t do something a certain way, but if they can’t explain why, then no one is going to listen. Blindly following someone for percieved wisdom doesn’t teach you anything.

I actually like it when someone can show me why I’m wrong, because it saves me time. But if you can’t tell me WHY my idea won’t work, I’m probably just gunna do it anyway to figure it out myself.

I think this is as much a case of bad teachers as it is bad students.

If you look carefully you may notice that 16.4 - 10 = 6.4 which is not zero, so our original poster was off by at least 64%.

Yay I can do math too!

Good ideas absolutely do die all the time even in open source. If the original dev doesn’t want to play nice, it’s actually pretty difficult to create a new fork that everyone will agree on. Hopefully these federated apps have enough inertia to prevent the userbase from splintering when the original devs move on.

The court documents do not make clear whether Maland was struck by one of Youngblut’s bullets or a shot fired by a fellow agent.

Fuck… so the women who survived was the only one who shot at the agents, she got two shots off, and the agent who died may have been killed by friendly fire. The driver, who was killed, was a german national with an expired visa, he had a gun and may have reached for it but didn’t actually fire any shots. What an absolute cluster fuck.

Because it’s just kind of lazy, everyone has access to LLMs now. If they wanted an AI answer they’d just use Google and click “expand” on whatever summary it sticks at the top of the search results.

People use social media to interact with other humans, and unless we explicitely ask, we don’t want to read through a wall of AI text.

Lol the airline industry has some pretty good terms, my personal favorite is “wet lease”.
