Makes sense. If someone is dumb enough to buy a Cybertruck then they’d be dumb enough to willingly drive it into a lake and destroy it.

Apple has their faults but they historically have supported their devices for significantly longer than most Android phone manufacturers. Like I said in my last message, some of the Android phones I had only ever received one OS update and it was usually for an outdated version anyway.

There are multiple reasons I moved from Android to iPhone but this was by far the biggest factor that motivated me to switch. I’ve never had a Samsung device but I’ve had years upon years of numerous other Android phones and the update support for all of them has been atrocious. I got used to receiving 1 single OS update if I was lucky and maybe a few years of security updates and that was it. The few updates they did get were usually at least a year behind the Android update cycle if not more, and then they really fell behind once support stopped.

Since then I’ve had several iPhones that I’ve owned and then sold second hand and they’ve all had constant OS and security updates the entire time. I don’t have strong feelings towards iPhones one way or another, but I can say for certain that it has never felt like my device has been abandoned.

This. So many of these people are locked away at unknown locations without any access to family or legal counsel. 100% there are more than 6 people that have died, especially with what limited info we have on how atrocious the conditions in these facilities are. I’d say the true number is probably several decimal places higher.

Extremely. Their foreign interference campaigns are doing substantial damage to western democracy. They are an extremely hostile fascist nation.

Looks like I’m moving over to something else now.

This news coming right off the back of AI data centres being announced for BC just makes me feel like we’re going down the same path as the US. Gassing ourselves to death for planet-destroying data centres to please shareholders. and fascists.

“Neesh” which is the correct way to say it as far as I am concerned. It has Latin roots but the word “niche” is French and that is how they say it.

Genocidal, fascist fucks.

Canadian here. Got summoned a few years ago. I applied for excusal on account of my autism and lack of transport to get to the courthouse which was in another city.

I have diagnosis documents for proof if needed but they never asked me. My request was approved and I never had to go.

Chrome users will do literally anything except pick an alternative browser.

I really hope Albertans wake the fuck up for the next election.

Prepare to be incredibly disappointed.

Actually watching the video helps.

Slop coding.

Following is a detailed and extensive list of the firm steps our federal government will take to combat this:

Alec from Technology Connections brought up a good point in recent video about EVs. He mentioned how Tesla owners are a special kind of EV driver and don’t actually care about EV technology or green(er) vehicles; they only care about their Tesla. I’d imagine this is part of that mindset. Tesla can do no wrong in their eyes, even if it goes against their normal morals and beliefs.

Nicest: TES. I’ve met some of the nicest people and some of my best friends in the TES community, especially back in my ESO days when I ran a large guild.

Meanest / Most toxic: Planetside 2. I considered Destiny 2 for this but Planetside 2’s community takes the cake. It’s an old game by this point and the only people left playing it are the seasoned, cranky vets that have been playing for thousands of hours and hate everything and have zero patience for anyone who dares try to learn the game. Death threats, harassment, stalking, TKing, etc is all a frequent occurrence. There used to be entire outfits (guilds/clans) of players that were dedicated to playing as dirty as possible or otherwise being huge assholes.

This. Hosting US forces is now a liability to the host country.

Nothing beats cold water after doing something physically intensive.

This is why Ukraine, through their intensifying counterattacks against Russia, is both defending their homeland and doing the entire world a beneficial service. They are the only country on Earth that is treating Russia they way they should be treated, albeit simply by defensive necessity.

Russia is an openly hostile fascist state and the rest of the world just turns a blind eye and we are all so fucking sick of it.
