A very naive or horribly dishonest take.

Hollywood can’t ditch its Teslas fast enough: “They’re destroying their leases and walking away” (www.hollywoodreporter.com)

Tesla is reportedly planning a reveal of its self-driving robotaxi on the Warner Bros. lot amid widespread anger in the industry over the brand’s controversial CEO, Elon Musk, resulting in a rejection of its cars.

Human beings are strange animals. Tesla build quality has been suspect from the beginning. Why was that not the priority before now?

01011 , (edited )

Shouldn’t that be the other way around? “Mostly because of the shitty build quality and partly because of Musk”?

01011 ,

I was asking because I had assumed that people would put their safety before identity politics. I haven’t liked Teslas since I came to notice how bad their build quality was. You’d think that would come first and not the insane ramblings of a mad man but what do I know…

Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy

I wanted to get printer photo paper for my printer, a Canon. I went to Walmart, They had nothing. Went to Target, they had one pack of photo paper and it was crazy expensive, so I went to micro center. That one was just as expensive. So finally I went back to Amazon, which I was trying to avoid, and saw the price 25 to 40% lower...

01011 ,

Brick and mortar will always be more expensive and there are always cheaper options than Target. I used to love Fry’s but they are no more.

Great question OP.

My favorite games ever are Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2 for the GBA. They are turn based strategy games so you can easily pick up, save, restore and play as needed. The entire series is great in my experience, up to the DS iterations.

How do you figure that? Germany in particular has quite the history of blaming the wrong group of people for its problems.

Which Linux distro for beginners (with requirements)

A friend of someone related doesn’t have a laptop nowadays, but needs one. Now we have 2 old laptops at home, and we want to give her one so she can do some things on it. Since she isn’t used to laptops and the old laptops wouldn’t run a Windows 11 (I don’t want to install a Win10 because of end of support and lacking...

I think clearnet is done for. Maybe something like i2p could be worth investing time into.

Traveler ordered to pay more than $5,000 in fuel costs after flight diverted due to bad behavior (www.cnn.com)

According to the Australian Federal Police, a then-32-year-old man from Western Australia was disruptive on a flight headed from Perth to Sydney. As a result, the plane had to turn around and go back to Perth, which meant that the pilot was forced to dump some fuel to land....

They’ll never do that. Drug dealing is too lucrative and alcohol is the western world’s favorite poison.

No systemd on my void or gentoo builds either.

Love that show but the first episode of season 4 underwhelmed.

Where is a macbook air $300? Off the back of a truck?

I was going to say that this sounds like a very UK specific issue.

01011 ,

Lucky them. I wish I didn’t need one. It’s a window to other people’s problems.

Why did you assume I was talking about social media? Besides lemmy I really don’t do social media.

You have been sleepwalking through life…

Signal has been blocked by Venezuela and Russia (www.theverge.com)

“We’re aware of reports that access to Signal has been blocked in some countries,” Signal says. If you are affected by the blocks, the company recommends turning on its censorship circumvention feature. (NetBlocks reports that this feature lets Signal “remain usable” in Russia.)

Comparing a health condition to ethnicity is peak whiteness.

Nevermind the fact that melanin is a very practical and healthy trait.

Arch is too easy to set up nowadays for it to be a “thing”.

Maybe 15 years ago when the process was slightly more complicated but even then it’s always been paint by numbers.

Even Gentoo isn’t that difficult, just time consuming.

01011 ,

Void is far from torture. It is just as easy to set up as Arch, if not more so.

I don’t usually want to eat too much on flights. Especially with the toilet situation being what it is.

Only kids? I know some very shallow grown folks with kids of their own.

Some of us like to put our phones away or turn them off entirely during our leisure. Also, I don’t want touch screen controls when playing ps1 games.

01011 ,

Besides the screen how is this better than the RG35XX series?

01011 , (edited )

No. I bought the predecessor for $50. Money well spent. I keep my phone off, I save battery life for when I do need to use my phone and I have 256GB of dedicated (and removal/replaceable/upgradable) storage to old school gaming. I am a very casual gamer, I do not want to carry a PS4/5 controller on my travels - my primary purpose for purchasing such a device.

01011 ,

A d-pad with tactile buttons, a non-android (or iOS) system that takes micro sd cards are pretty good reasons. And the functionality is very good. Not sure why you assume it isn’t.

01011 ,

I am able to install lean, custom linux based OS onto the device which I much prefer to either android or iOS - it fully boots in 5 seconds, there is no bloat to speak of. I had a 256GB card which I have now put to use in this device - it holds PSX, N64, Dreamcast, SNES, GBA, GB and MAME games. More than enough to keep me entertained on any road trip. And it didn’t cost me $100, I paid $50, an almost insignificant outlay.

01011 ,

You are not the judge as to what is or what is not a “real argument”.

An appmay boot up in 5 seconds but android devices and iOS do not. I go from power off to gaming in 5 seconds.

But look who is talking about ignoring previously made points… I repeat, I like to keep my phone off when at my leisure and I prefer not the drain the battery for frivolous activities, especially when traveling.

It plays the systems that I want, hence why I purchased it. You are under no obligation to do so. I’m still not sure why this device and others like it have you so agitated.

01011 ,

Dreamcast is still my favorite console of all time.

I’m not a huge pizza person but paid $30 for a 9 inch from a pizzeria in Chicago a couple of months ago. It was tasty so I didn’t mind but it did seem quite a bit higher than the last time I had pizza.

I’d never give Domino’s that much for a pizza though, from what I recall their offerings are subpar.

You are not too dumb to learn Linux. If I learned how to use it then you can. Start with with something simple and easy to install such as Linux Mint or Ubuntu and you will inevitably learn more as you go on. If you can read, type, point, click and observe then you have all the skills required to install the aforementioned distros.

01011 ,

Depends on the distro but you are largely right. You can easily use Linux Mint or Ubuntu without being familiar with the cli.

01011 ,

Depends on the location and the number of people in your party. Sometimes it does work out cheaper to rent an apartment or even a house instead of several hotel rooms. Kitchen space is always a boon, I’m rarely impressed by overpriced restaurant fare and prefer to cook for myself when possible. It can also be helpful if you’re traveling with pets.

[Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.

I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones....

01011 , (edited )

It’s definitely more frustrating. I’ve had a similar experience trying to help people with their Windows PCs. Thankfully I’ve managed to convince a few to switch to Linux Mint.
