  • That's a really important point! I didn't think of that but I know Snopes does that. I updated the post to mention your suggestion.

  • Tesla owners react to Elon Musk's controversies: 3 in 10 consider selling their cars

    Jump

  • It's not just because the car doesn't know where you're going. It's an intentional lie that Elon Musk specifically ordered. From the article:

    The directive to present the optimistic range estimates came from Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, this person said.

    “Elon wanted to show good range numbers when fully charged,” the person said, adding: “When you buy a car off the lot seeing 350-mile, 400-mile range, it makes you feel good.”

    Tesla’s intentional inflation of in-dash range-meter projections and the creation of its range-complaints diversion team have not been previously reported.

  • It will reduce demand for new Teslas. The people who sell their Teslas will buy a different brand and some people who still for whatever reason want to buy a Tesla will buy a used one instead of a new one.

  • I heard that Tesla lies about the range, it's lower than they say.

    https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-batteries-range/

    About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters. The automaker last year became so inundated with driving-range complaints that it created a special team to cancel owners’ service appointments.

  • Twitter/X is horrible. I feel of all the large/mainstream (used to be mainstream) social media platforms it's the worst. We don't need to trust them to police themselves, reporting is now win-win because if they don't take down the reprehensible content you can use the evidence you collected to persuade your friends to leave Twitter/X. If you are lucky and it's the 1% of the time when they actually remove it that's good too because you just got some hate taken down.

    This is especially powerful for people in the EU, I don't know how to do it but if their DSA reports don't get acknowledged perhaps it would be possible to send the screenshots to someone in the EU or their countries government and they could fine Twitter/X for violating the DSA.

  • Thank you so much for finding that! It's even more shocking than I thought. So many more instances already. I hope this prompts more people to delete their Twitter/X account.

  • The most important thing is to take care of your own health. I'd recommend pivoting sending encouraging messages to progressives. For example if there's a content creator you like write a message saying you're grateful for everything he/she does. You'll feel good and whoever receives your message will feel good too.

    Also campaign for issues you care about instead of being against issues you're opposed to. This should result in less anxiety and stress. If that doesn't work you got to focus on the anxiety and stress first before you focus on activism. The reason why is because once you solve the anxiety and stress you will be more powerful. I've read articles on resisting Trump and most say you must first focus on your personal health. https://wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-things-to-do-if-trump-wins/

  • I agree totally, these instructions are only for those who for whatever reason feel they must stay on those platforms. Leaving is the better option.

  • I agree 100%. These instructions are only for people who for whatever reason feel they must still have an account. Leaving is much better if you can. If for whatever reason you feel you cannot leave I would highly recommend cross posting on Bluesky and Mastodon.

  • TikTok goes dark as U.S. ban takes effect

  • The message the TikTok app displays stoops to a new low to pander to Trump.

    It's no wonder why Trump all of a sudden wants to "save" TikTok:

    TikTok is spending $50,000 on an inauguration party honoring influencers who helped Donald Trump spread his campaign message, according to the party organizer — and it’s scheduled for Sunday, the deadline for the company to spin off from its China-based owner or be banned in the U.S.

    CEO Shou Zi Chew is expected to attend.

  • Just so you all know the New York Post is a Rupert Murdoch (same person who owns Fox News) rag. According to Wikipedia it wasn't profitable from 1976 to 2022 perhaps even loosing up to $70 million a year. The reason why he ran it at a loss for so long is for influence. Prior to Murdoch's acquisition the "Post was seen to have liberal tilt, supporting trade unions and social welfare". Now it's a conservative trash rag.

    Please use another source if you can.

  • I just read about them on Wikipedia. I wanted to see if they were a Murdoch rag and the answer is it's not owned by Murdoch but it's all the same garbage in terms of editorial content. They used to carry literal Chinese and Russian government propaganda and they almost got bought out by the UAE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph#2023%E2%80%932024_takeover_bid I hope that if they try selling again that it could be sold to someone who will turn it into an unbiased source of news.
