  • Weekly chat thread... what are some good things going on this week?

    Jump

  • We decided to adopt our foster dog, because he is so loving we couldn’t bear the thought of him thinking he had done anything to warrant being passed to a 4th family in his short life.

  • Elon Musk’s Tesla given go-ahead to supply electricity in Great Britain

    Jump

  • So it’s accepted/legal to put leaflets under windscreen wipers…. Would it technically be legal to stick swastikas on Teslas to let owners know what their choices look like?

  • I wouldn’t call $7.6 billion half-assed, but maybe that’s just me.

  • Timing is a given… the whole point is now there is a duopoly it’s impossible to compete.

    Windows Phone OS was excellent, smooth, efficient and relatively intuitive with flagship models competing with Google and Apple.

    The problem was getting apps created for the App Store with the lowest market share. The phone sector was losing money, it did that for years with no great improvement in market share. The call was made entirely because Microsoft can’t have a red mark on their balance sheet for that long without investors getting annoyed.

    It was the money.

  • There is a reason it’s a duopoly, making a competing phone eco system to rival two of the wealthiest companies in the world is not easy. Microsoft tried but even they didn’t have enough money. People need apps, because companies want us to use their apps and there are only two app stores, one is walled off so you basically have to run Android apps or convince every company to make an app for your OS. I’m not wealthy so I only buy a phone every 8-10 years… if I can’t ensure I can do my banking shopping and entertainment on my phone I can’t buy it, and every banking/shopping/entertainment site is designed to be terrible on a phone so they can get you to install their app.

  • I went to look up what phone to buy to try this and they only have a virtual devices, the hardware phones are listed as “community” projects. I hope they focus on a specific phone soon so I can get a device with main project support.

  • TLDR: you don’t need an app, you can apply online, but dark patterns are used to try and guide you towards using the app.

  • everyone agrees

  • They’re not saying that his jokes were not funny, they were saying that he is transphobic. He disagrees, end of story.

  • everyone agrees

    Jump

  • I’ve had a look at this and if you replace trans with any other protected group the jokes are objectively satire and clearly meant to be comedy and not transphobic. There is no part of me who is in any way anti-trans, I couldn’t care less what gender you are now or used to be. In this case I think some people just don’t want to be the subject of jokes no matter how innocent the intentions.

  • everyone agrees

    Jump

  • Why? He has always sounded like a really genuinely nice and thoughtful person.

  • ASSA ABLOY Group - global leader in access solutions (locks, doors, etc.) Swedish-Finnish

    Jump

  • I’ve been intending on replacing all the locks in my house to use a single key, ASSA are at the top of the list… but it’s hard to justify any lock after decades of watching LockPickingLawyer and McNally

  • Despite anti-Musk protests, Tesla remains best-selling car model in CA by a wide margin for 2025

    Jump

  • I was really proud to be British for the first time in ages yesterday when I saw that of all the car brands sold in the UK in January Tesla was 33rd! Some of the brands who sold more cars I’d never heard of!

  • Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production, converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots

    Jump

  • Remember when Meta lost so much public trust they decided to switch things up a a bit and go all in on VR worlds and headsets, but then had such disappointing sales they slowly discontinued and abandoned their grand plans.

    Boy I sure hope this doesn’t happen again, that would be terrible for Musk’s hopes of getting his bonus.

  • Ah yes America, the embodiment of “if he jumped off a cliff would you do it as well?” Followed by “Hold my Bud Light”

  • This will lead to, sexual blackmail of children, suicide and financial fraud.

    You should thank the UK for sacrificing so many of its citizens to show the world what peak government stupidity looks like. We thought the point was made with Brexit, but the UK says “hold my beer” one more time.

  • Well it kinda is the point, people will either use VPNs or go to riskier sources. I found a new site with loads of porn and all you have to do is install their browser plug-in, and video player!

    Jump

  • Yeah actually you have a point here, I’ve been in this thread so long I forgot it was Obama who was being quoted on the post.

    I do maintain that in the list of people responsible for what is currently happening and we should be really mad at today… Trump is way out ahead and Obama is behind about a million assholes who are actively involved in propping up the Trump presidency.
