  • Cars are like horses: people will soon realise EVs are just better, claims VW boss

  • In my area in the US there are several $5k used EVs with <30k miles on them. I'm kind of surprised people complain so much about EV affordability especially when you consider that maintenance costs are so much lower than ICE cars.

  • Exactly. I am not a heavy user but occasionally I need to multitask a bit. I upgraded from 16 gb to 32 gb a while back because with 4 open workspaces, a browser window in each one plus an email client, signal, a couple libreoffice apps open, and my notes app, it was having to use enough swap space that I noticed the performance hit. I've had to use some very poorly optimized sites for work that literally used a gig of ram for one tab. A small number of very light users might be ok with 8gb, but most will likely have issues.

  • What is a belief you’ve done a total 180 on?

  • Efficiency is a functionally meaningless term under capitalism. Efficiency of what? Efficiency of email and phone spam? Widespread advertisement campaigns? Efficiency in sabotaging your competitors or collaborating to fix prices? Efficiency in redesigning products to manipulate your consumers and planned obsolescence? Efficiency in environmental destruction? Efficiency in finding loopholes in the legal system and regulations? In lobbying the government to receive special treatment? There are many ways to compete in a competitive market.

    Society needs direction. Production when necessary, at the level that it is needed, keeping in mind ecological constraints. Capitalism is incapable of that.

  • Yeah I'm not very familiar with the android landscape since everything that's not GrapheneOS is a total shitshow. Sounds like app optimization may be less of a concern than I anticipated, that's great

  • There are a lot of assumptions baked into everything you're saying. It's really not that deep. Google Pixels make up a tiny fraction of total mobile market share. This isn't the start of some doomsday scenario where the only computers available are Google Pixels. You're allowed to buy what you want. I need a phone anyway. All of them are kinda shit from an openness/repairability standpoint. And personally I'd rather have one device than two if I can.

    relying on a country that doles out sanctions and bombings like it's parking tickets.

    This is a much larger issue that has little to do with anything we're talking about

    locked down further this year to allow only google-sanctioned software

    This does not apply to GrapheneOS, which again you are allowed to install to these devices. Plus they allow use of the linux terminal which people have been experimenting with to run full linux apps (https://www.androidauthority.com/run-desktop-linux-apps-on-android-how-to-3586539/)

  • locked down

    How? They allow users to install 3rd party ROMs and GrapheneOS

    unrepairable

    They're not the best, but far from the worst. I've done multiple repairs on mine without much issue. There are first party parts and guides available on iFixit.

    I guess?

    aids in war and surveillance!

    You'd be hard pressed to find a manufacturer that doesn't

    This feature is a positive change. Enabling people to minimize the number of devices they need has the potential to significantly reduce the amount of ewaste people generate, and makes desktop features more accessible to people who can't afford multiple devices.

  • It does in fact work with GOS. I don't believe this build has been released yet though so you likely still need to toggle it on in the dev settings.

  • My guy if you use that phone for anything remotely sensitive you should get a new one. It hasn't received security updates in over 2 years. The 8a is about $200 refurbished with 6 more years of updates and you won't notice the bump if you use a case.

  • This is a really bad take. Not all vegans are vegans for the same reason. Often pets are adopted from e.g. shelters to protect them from a worse fate. You can have a pet while providing it with freedom.

  • The senior vote has practically enabled fascism

    This is just false. The 50-64 year old vote was far more pro Trump than the 65+ cohort. Older age does not mean more pro trump overall.

    There's honestly too much else going on with your arguments for me to sit here and pick it apart, but it essentially boils down to (1) it is not every old person's fault that things are the way they are (spoiler: the rich and powerful are to blame) and (2) the stripping of rights you describe would disproportionately impact marginalized or poor groups of people. I highly recommend this podcast episode. Pretty much everything else I would say is in it:
