62% positive isn’t really the flipside of 79% negative.
If you combine the 6 and 62% positive and estimate they are about equal size demographics, it’s only about 34% positive combined, with 47% negative.
I bet that when Tesla collapses, the 62% positive republicans will decline too. Republicans are only positive towards him because they think he is some sort of money guru.

Tesla is losing marketshare hard in Europe, and probably in China too, if it isn’t happening already in USA it is probably imminent, as Tesla developments of new cars can’t keep up with the pace of the competition, and Tesla models are looking more and more outdated. Tesla is already looking like a failing company, despite they have by far the biggest marketshare in pure EV.

I personally would buy anything from them at the moment.

You would?

Do you mean misplaced take?
Sorry couldn’t help myself. 😋

My wife has one, it’s been a long time since she have talked about it though.
She used to mention when improvements were made.

Edit: Pinephone.

Sorry silly me, a Pinephone.

I use Falkon for things I want to do outside my main browser, for instance if a site doesn’t work, to see if it’s on my side.
www.falkon.org

PS: Falkon is based on QtWebEngine.

Buffalox , (edited )

Falkon is based on QtWebEngine.
So not Chromium although they may share renderer, but last I heard QtWebEngine was based on Webkit.

Life on a judge minimum wage is hell, it’s almost impossible to survive or afford caviar each day, it was his way out of the missery.
Also judges are entitled to bribes, supreme court is showing the way for all judges.

When I want to try something, completely shielded from my main browser, I use Falkon.
It’s a tiny open source browser, based on QtWebEngine, and it works surprisingly well IMO, but it’s not a powerhouse like Firefox or Chrome.

But as far as I can tell, this is a total non issue:

I don’t think this is really a problem. it allows sites to get some data about their advertising, without users giving up anything personal.
The setting can be disabled, but if you do that, you rely on normal cookie policy, so unless you have disabled cookies for the site, in which case many sites don’t work, you will probably be giving up way more data than with the setting on.

If you want to disable it go to “settings” -> “Privacy and security” -> and scroll down until you find: “Website Advertising Preferences” -> Disable the toggle.

I don’t see anything nefarious about this, as far as I can tell, it’s a measure to protect users without breaking functionality of a site.

You are probably judging too quickly.

Well there needs to be a working general boot-loader for one. Then the hardware needs to have drivers that work.

To anyone who didn’t notice, this is 14 days old, which is why the numbers are “wrong” compared to today.

lemmy.world/post/20121030

I’m sorry IDK how to link a post from another lemmy server properly? So this is kind of specific for lemmy.world.

But at least this OP post appear to be allowed, contrary to the up to date post earlier today from pravda.ua.

Buffalox , (edited )

That removal was bullshit IMO. I was puzzled and thought OP removed it himself, when it suddenly disappeared.
I’m honestly shocked that a mod removed it, apparently based on nothing but personal prejudice.

Edit for clarity:
www.pravda.com.ua/eng/ is one of the best sources we have for what’s going on in Ukraine. And in my experience it is highly reliable.

Buffalox ,

You writing about your own opinion is biased too, does that make your opinion invalid?
pravda.com.ua is one of the absolute best sources we have regarding what’s going on in Ukraine.
The moderator is way way off to remove that as an unreliable source.

Buffalox ,

That’s whataboutism and completely irrelevant.
Russia does not have free press, everything from Russia is propaganda.
So it is also a false equivalence.

Also by that logic no Western sources are acceptable, because we are allied with Ukraine, and are biased towards Ukraine.

Buffalox ,

Yes, for sure we can’t have charged wording here.
You may be right, but it’s still complete bullshit.

Buffalox ,

Who is without bias?
I’ll tell you who, nobody that’s who.
Because being unbiased means perfectly objective, and that is impossible by definition.
Obviously they have Ukrainian bias, but that does not prevent them from being realistic and reporting truthfully.

Buffalox ,

Honestly what the fuck jordanlund? These numbers are the official numbers from the Ukanian ministry of defense:
mil.gov.ua/…/the-estimated-combat-losses-of-russi…

You do good work as moderator, but this is a mistake, and you should change it.

Buffalox ,

The Source isn’t Pravda, the source is a Facebook post.

If you follow the link to the facebook post: facebook.com/…/pfbid02TWTFhaFZBH1v5EJAzJ5fRTM3bBF…

These are very obviously the official numbers, on the official general staff of Ukraine facebook page.
If you compare the numbers to the Ministry of defense, you can see they are the same:
mil.gov.ua/…/the-estimated-combat-losses-of-russi…

You made decision a based on a misunderstanding, which is fair enough, we all make mistakes.
But please accept when you are given the correct info, and adjust accordingly. IDK maybe you are having a bad day.
This is not up to your normal quality of moderation.

Buffalox ,

IDK why you find the post fishy. These numbers are posted every day on !ukraine.
The top sub on lemmy to follow the Ukraine war.

Buffalox ,

I didn’t take any pro-Russia stance,

Making a false equivalence that clearly favors Russia is absolutely a pro Russian stance.

The rest of your post is first more irrelevancy and the last part is decidedly sick.
We are many here who actually care about the well being of the Ukrainians, who did everything they could to appease Putin and prevent this war.
Russia is committing war crimes everyday against Ukraine, defending that with falsehoods like you do and comparing it to sports is sick.

Buffalox ,

Usually he is OK, I have no idea what got into him?

Buffalox ,

They have been shown by many agencies to be credible, Both the British ministry of defense and Pentagon have posted numbers on occasion that are not far off.

Buffalox ,

I’ve seen video of a general reporting to Putin, where he claimed they had destroyed 50 Ukrainian tanks in 1 battle!
Russian numbers are so obviously fake, question is if this really were the numbers they gave Putin?
But still if Russia post numbers, they are news, because we would try to interpret what the meaning of even posting false numbers is.

Buffalox ,

Wow this is really sad by you, how can it be more official than coming from a government body?

In Ukrainian:
mil.gov.ua/…/zagalni-bojovi-vtrati-rosiyan-za-dob…

In English: mil.gov.ua/…/the-estimated-combat-losses-of-russi…

That 2nd to last line is translated a little bit differently. And all it means is that the data is updated every day as new info arrives.
What’s your problem with that? War is chaos, to claim that the numbers are final would be obviously dishonest.

To claim it’s not official is outright …, yeah I better stop myself here, but I can’t stress enough how disappointed I am in your handling of this situation.

Buffalox ,

Please jordanlund, it is an official press release on Facebook!! They do it on Facebook and Telegram, and the ministry of defense is now again posting on their homepage again, after a ½ year pause after an attack on Kyiv.
So for a period Facebook and Telegram were actually the only places to get them!

Many do this on Facebook or Xitter, Harris confirmed her run for the presidency on Xitter!!! Are you claiming her announcement to run wasn’t official?
This is no different. I don’t like it either, because those sites are inherently not secure, but that’s the world we live in.

Incidentally When Harris announced that on Xitter it was allowed AFAIK without any questions from any moderators.

Edit PS:
You are moving the goal post!! Just in case you didn’t notice.

Buffalox ,

Honestly WTF?, please state your source, because I can’t find the link to it, because you removed it!!!

I AM SO CLOSE TO BLOCKING YOU NOW; YOU ARE BEING INCREDIBLY IRRATIONAL!!
Come to think of it, I think I’ll report you.

Buffalox ,

You are hereby reported.

Buffalox , (edited )

Found the source again, and you are decidedly lying!!

www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/09/24/7476472/

They write the information is being confirmed, and it’s a translation problem. That means it’s being updated.
It’s 100% normal military procedure, to confirm/update any incoming information as new information arrives. These people are NOT native english speakers.

You are being an asshole. And you are arguing from ignorance.

Buffalox , (edited )

is uttermost garbage. You made Ukraine support your personality

I have no idea where your delusions come from. If Ukraine wanted to cooperate with Russia and be part of their sphere, I would have absolutely zero problem with that. What makes you think otherwise?

Ukraine wanted to become an EU member. But Russia invaded to force Ukraine under Russian control.
Even before that, Russia was already very hostile, and invaded Crimea in 2014, and ever since they’ve created problems for Ukraine in the eastern provinces, propagandizing against the Ukrainian government, and instigating riots.
Ukraine is fighting to get out from under Russian oppression, while Russia is attempting an outright genocide on Ukraine.

To say peace with Russia is possible now is delusional, Russia is demanding Ukraine must be controlled by Russia, and that Russia must be given major parts of Ukraine.

The Russian war against Ukraine is illegal and insane. Your retorik continues to support Russia talking points, so claiming you don’t doesn’t make sense. Don’t mind responding, I have blocked you.

Buffalox , (edited )

Source is unvetted information from a Facebook page.

I have personally shown you the link that proves the numbers are the official numbers.
It has been explained very clearly to you that your claim is false, the posts on facebook are OFFICIAL by the armed forces!!
That the numbers are being verified is a normal military jargon, because war is chaos, and the influx of information is constant.
The numbers are verified for instance by flyovers, all military in the world do this!! These numbers are verified constantly, and what we get is a “snapshot” every day.

For a period of almost a year, the numbers in English were ONLY available on the OFFICIAL facebook and telegram page for the armed forces. While the ministry of defense only posted the numbers in Ukrainian and without the graphics.

You are being unreasonable and stubborn for some reason, chaotic yes, good no.

Your claim is false, your reasons are based on ignorance, you are outright lying to support your claim and you are being stubborn as an ass about it. Even if everything you claim was true, pravda.ua is a reputable news source.

You wouldn’t accept it if Russia was doing it,

This is whataboutism ands a false equivalence, what russian source are you referring to? The Russian Pravda is state owned propaganda, and in Russia if a journalist even call it a war, they will be send to prison!!! Ukraine has free press, Russia does not.

Pravda.ua is part of the free press in line with mostly every other western country.the article was demonstrated to be based on OFFICIAL data.

Buffalox ,

Freedom!!
It must feel glorious.

Buffalox ,

You seem to misunderstand how it works.
EU doesn’t make laws, the EU regulations were written into UK law, just as with any other member country. So the regulation most definitely still existed for UK after Brexit, and had to be removed from the UK law to achieve this “progress of greater freedom”.
So what is revealed is that UK ACTUALLY changed it for the worse, just as many predicted they would.

Buffalox ,

Are you sure? Ukraine is not sending meat waves against Russia, and Ukraine has chosen a defensive strategy which has the advantage of fewer losses.
Russia has way higher losses because the use meat waves to try to grind down Ukraine, and even without that, they would be likely to have higher casualties, because they have been on the offensive way more than Ukraine.

Buffalox ,

The 100k number sounds about right, I saw an estimate of 80k recently, but I’ve also seen estimates of 1:6 which would make 110k, and more optimistic numbers of 1:8 which would make around 80k. But I think the 1:8 number is from certain battles where Russia have made heavy use of meat waves.
My guess based on the sum of all that I’ve heard, is about 110k for Ukraine.

Buffalox ,

Considering it’s called “Note” I find it curious they don’t mention anything about the screen.
But this SOC should be very good from what I’ve heard, and I love they’ve finally increased the battery to 6000mah and even added 200 extra.
IMO 6000mah should have been standard for bigger phones already years ago. It was a major feature for me on my old Moto Power G9 that came out 4 years ago.
It’s been very disappointing to have to go down to 5000mah on phones at more than twice the price, because 6000mah simply wasn’t available as an option. It’s laughable IMO that phones advertised as great for gaming are sold with only 5000mah batteries.

executive action by committee doesn’t work.

Is there actually any evidence for that? Isn’t that basically what they have in Switzerland? And they are one of the absolute richest countries in the world.
Above the CEO is usually a committee called the board, which govern all stock companies, and by far the most successful big companies are stock companies.

Companies run by a CEO without responsibility towards a committe (board) have much higher risk of doing something incredibly stupid that ruin the company. And can’t be removed no matter how incredibly stupid and harmful they are to the company.
For example as we see with Elon Musk and Twitter. Donald Trump and his Casinos. Pillow guy. Michael Dell.
Funny enough also Steve Jobs at first, but then taken in to rescue Apple successfully later.

Buffalox , (edited )

I’d argue that a democracy is governing by committe on the biggest scale we have, namely a whole country. This is in contrast to dictatorships.
Are you arguing that dictatorship is better at governing than a democracy?
Switzerland is going by the biggest committee there is more than most, and is hugely successful.

Buffalox ,

You say Switzerland is rich because of Nestle, OK how much tax does Nestle pay in Switzerland? And how much is that of the total.
I didn’t respond to your Nestle argument, because it’s silly.
7 of the 10 richest companies in the world are American, so how exactly is Switzerland rich because of 1 company that is ranked 96 on fortune 500?

Yes, eggs should be from small farms with 12 chickens max each, that should solve everything, quality control, diseases and the high prices on eggs.
Same with everything else, factories make shitty products, you should rather order from a craftsman.
/s

PS:
Oh yes BTW, AFAIK the flu outbreaks started in nature, not on farms.

Edit:
The ignoratum around here is staggering.
I never argued that we shouldn’t improve the conditions for chickens, but to argue we can have production in mostly any kind of farming today that isn’t heavily mechanized and factory like is extremely ignorant. How else do you feed 300 million people in USA or 700 million in EU efficiently?

I’m downvoted for speaking the truth, and seemingly most people here wants to live a fantasy denying reality.
I personally buy organic eggs, and never from cages, but even that is factories, they just have slightly better conditions.

I know people who have their own chickens laying eggs, but even they can have diseases, so regulation for having your own has been increased a lot here (EU) lately for that too.

You do what you want, but to claim it’s feasible to get rid of the “factories” is wishful thinking.
We can however improve the factories, so the chicken get better conditions. And we’ve been doing that already since the 60’s.

Buffalox , (edited )

Free range are only marginally better than cages at best.

Sorry, I was thinking of what in English apparently is called barn eggs, which is not really better than cages.
Free range is the best condition for chickens. And absolutely what we should buy.
But this production has problems, like chicken pecking each other way more than “good” cage conditions, because they are kept in larger groups. And is still a factory/industry when at a scale which is needed to fill demand.

Buffalox ,

My mother raises hens and a dozen birds can actually make so many eggs that our entire family has trouble using them all.

And?
Do you really believe I don’t know that?

pasture-raised eggs are so rich as to be almost unpalatable to eat directly.

WTF? That’s bullshit.
Maybe you are confusing them with eggs from free reigning ducks, which IMO taste awful. But from chicken they are really really good.

Buffalox ,

more numerous, smaller, more localized farms would be better for everyone

Either those farmers would make a lot less money, like barely being able to make a living, or the price of their products would have to be way higher than what we pay today. Like not just a few percent, but a factors higher.

Buffalox ,

You’re making a reducto ad absurdum argument by intentionally using absurd quantities and time periods that are not required to accomplish this goal.

OK, how many chickens are required before it becomes an industrial production, and not just hobby level?
Is it less safe to have a few hundred than a dozen? The answer is obviously yes. So the problem claimed in the post I responded to, exist with everything above hobby level production.
So I stand by the argument as valid. And the post I responded to as naive.

Buffalox ,

Yes there’s a huge difference, free range are definitely better in every way, but also more expensive.
They are also more healthy to eat, because they contain essential fatty acids that occur naturally in eggs, but is lost in cheap production with lower quality feed. Stress and lack of exercise are probably factors too.
The more healthy eggs to eat also taste better.

A Darwin award isn’t given, it is earned. And they earned it when they died.
