Could be fixed by countries adding tax funded discount on leasing electric cars, since fossil fuel consumption is the largest source.

Make it possible for everyone to lease a new, modern electric car with a large discount.

This sounds like written by an Ai or some marketing person…

Ordinary people don’t use phrases like “box maker System 76” or “highly anticipated by the Linux community”…:)

Unsure of the future with my current fiance.

So I’m not sure if I can or should continue my relationship with my fiance or try to fix things. We’ve been together for two years now. When we first started dating they said that they were working on finishing their masters degree but they have not done so. They also said they’d be going back to work after they finished...

Are you having two fiances? Why do you say they? Is it to not show gender?

I think it’s funny how it becomes intentionally confusing and unclear who you are talking about. :)

I’m still on a computer that is seen as old I guess but I’ve upgraded the graphics card and the memory over the years. It still feels as fast as it always has. Of course I’m on Linux, not Windows with its eternal slowness.

I want to upgrade the cpu too but there is no point really. Everything is fast already.

Does it matter what they admit? These companies always wait for many years to admit anything. By then the damage to people is done.

Of course one could argue that if everyone would vaccinate, almost everyone would be better off, except people with side effects. But I can absolutely understand why people don’t want to risk being that person getting side effects. There is no help to be had if you are that person.

Your attention is the new economy.

So you are literally giving the guy money by thinking and talking about him. I wish everyone would just turn off their TVs and stop visiting news sites. Imagine the calm and peace.

Yup can confirm. Leased a new car six month ago. Wanted to get an electric, but the downsides of electric cars just didn’t make sense. Much more expensive, and worse in winter. Cheaper to charge, but not at all enough to make up the huge extra cost.

When the Chinese make a cheap ev that is better than fuel cars, it’s going to become more profitable than Tesla.

I can’t believe it’s still at 170+. People must really not realize that the first mover advantage is over, and Tesla has had their moment already. They are not going to lead this change to evs. Most manufacturers have good or better electric cars now.

Also people can’t afford them. Current prices are ridiculous. The company that brings low price evs that are good enough will dominate the market the next 5 years. It won’t be Tesla.

Another reason to work from home! Not that we need any more.

All of this is the opposite of being real. People who are actually real have no attraction to publishing what they are doing to their friends at random times.

Wait until they start with the “Chinese cars spy on you”. It was the entire argument why Huawei phones couldn’t even be sold in the US. Despite no evidence at all.

America has the largest spy network on the planet, and all electric cars spy on where we drive, how fast we drive, what we listen to etc. Some even film us while driving for “safety”. But appearently that’s OK, as long as the Chinese are not doing it. :)

Is there any country that is not seen as hostile to the US?

Who remembers their passwords? Use a password manager and it’s as simple as a Google login. It even fills in the credentials automatically on a hotkey.

Ok you have to create a new password the first time you want to register somewhere. But how lazy can people get? It’s also just a button click in a password manager.

Very few people will have experience with cosmic apps at this point, it’s in alpha state… :)

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I think it’s probably the system. Some kind of bug I guess. I’m really looking forward to cosmic too btw, seems very nice. But I guess it won’t replace plasma anytime soon. These things takes time…

Totally agree. Arch is actually a really good, simple system. That’s why so many people pick it as their main distro. Once you have installed it a few times, it’s just very simple how it works. There is no magic.

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

True, I have not installed it. I ran Fedora for a while long time ago and selinux was causing tons of headaches. So I never wanted to have it on my system after that.

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Sounds like written by an Ai… But nice with new version I guess. I’ve been gaming on only linux for half a decade now…it all just works.

Should be illegal to do this. Bait and switch is something we also see with big tech a lot, where they change their user agreements constantly so they can add data tracking and remove any shred of privacy.

An honest reaction… From a ceo? That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that. I figured those people were clones and programmed to say the same thing as every other ceo.

1984,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I agree with that. He started the entire thing and that’s great, but now he should move on.

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

You are right, he didn’t even start it.
