You bring up thought crime but forget that the entire point of newspeak is to reduce the ability to think at all.

Most people can’t own their consumption patterns while under the constant barrage of mental reprogramming that is advertising.

Not saying the story isn’t true, but this website seems biased towards China.

Docker exists because most programming languages don’t give a shit about producing easily executable outputs.

Nobody cares about your stupid python egg or ruby gem. How do I run it on my local?

The real nightmare here is that her girlfriend is a Uyghur.

It’s ok, someone will just swing through the window and save you from the complexity and dread of YAML with the gracefulness of pulumi and jsonnet.

This doesn’t seem so bad. I live in the PNW and have seen people absolutely hauling ass on home-made e-bikes and scooters, easily 40mph and passing traffic in the bike lane.

I’m not against people building their own e-bikes, but at some point it’s not an e-bike, it’s a motorcycle, and they need to be in traffic and ideally have the brakes to match.

DooM 2 is my nostalgic fave. My area code had multiple free 20+ line BBSes, so I was constantly playing 4 player doom matches(more on heretic/hexen/descent etc).

Honorable mention for the new Doom and Doom eternal.

My current favorite doom though is doom seeker and zandronum. Keeping the dream alive with crazy mods. Megaman deathmatch and shotgun frenzy are a delight.

Boeing and Lockheed Martin also spent billions of government dollars blowing up rockets, but SpaceX is still cheaper and delivering faster.

Do not downplay their engineering accomplishments.

I was referring to Subaru not having enough capital.

But in terms of Hydrogen, it is either a product of fossil fuel extraction via natural gas, or a product of electrolysis at a huge cost of electricity which is better spent charging an EV.

It’s never gonna be widely adopted(which is why Toyota is pivoting after their ceo stepped down).

Subaru’s EV future is tied to Toyota, and Toyota is fucking around.

They don’t have the capital to pursue an EV on their own unless it’s a rebadge or repackage, maybe in 5 years when EV components get more commoditized.

Yeah I feel ya. Funny thing is as soon as the EV9 starts selling Tesla is gonna drop model X price. They’ll also undercut the Escalade IQ with that same stroke.

The honest truth is only VW has what it takes, but they have to commit.

Bolt is too small, the ID4 can’t fit 3 car seats comfortably either, and the Aryia is too small and is a sad excuse for an ev, especially given the legacy of the Leaf.

The Buzz comes close but isn’t widely available, the EV9 would fit the bill were it not for its excessive size. That size also rules out the R1T.

What I want is essentially a lifted full-sized wagon, which in ICE terms is like an Outback or Sorento.

Enter GM with the Lyriq/Blazer/Prologue. Perfect dimensions, reasonable range.

Except they haven’t shipped them, and they announced they are stripping CarPlay starting this year.

Lucid has an SUV that might do if I was rich.

Or I can walk into a Tesla store today and buy a model Y with more range, less weight, a great charging network with a future proof connector, and a more proven platform than the unproven and rather piggish Ultium platform. I could buy the Y, put my fucking child car seats in and be done.

Now I’m not buying a Tesla because fuck Elon and fuck not having CarPlay, but you can see why they are so relevant.

There are simply too many unfilled niches in the EV market.

Yeah I went to the Kia dealer due to those designs.

The real missing player here is Japan. But as the saying goes, Japan has been stuck in the year 2000 since 1980.

The local Hyundai/KIA dealer dicked me around when I went to test drive a car. They also add absurd markups to the EV6. There are already headlines about KIA asking dealers not to do similar markups on the EV9.

Also the reliability track record for Kia is mixed for ICE cars, they made defective oil-consuming engines and tried to cover it up.

Their EVs show a similar pattern.

Tesla being mediocre doesn’t mean Kia isn’t shit-tier.

Unfortunately Tesla is still relevant in that you can actually buy a Tesla sedan or suv with very little hassle.

Meanwhile I’ve been on a waitlist for years for a GM EV that has been “launched” but with not a peep about my order.

One of my friends got so dicked around by dealers and waiting he bought a Tesla, and it wasn’t even on his list because of lack of CarPlay.

Rockets are harder than cars, so hopefully this means Elon is too stupid to contribute anything but haughty goals while the actual engineers make sure we don’t blow up any astronauts.

Exactly. Saying windows is problematic has nothing to do with supporting multiple hardware configurations and everything to do with Microsoft having no empathy for the user experience.

Is supporting every bit of hardware on earth why Linux shows ads everywhere?

Those other brands will not have feature parity with the Apple Watch. I agree that charging the watch every light is not an issue.
