It requires a personality trait of being a douche that you should be proud not to have.

“premium” 😂

The entire platform is nonstop triggered and posts negative reactions on any number of topics. Such is the nature of online communities and anonymity.

Robert Frost sure was ahead of his time

Well done! You win the perfect score of 94%!

Can you prove your inherited grandmother’s engagement ring actually belongs to you? Receipt please! Oh you don’t have one. It’s ours to auction off now!

The only problem is that we need to change the behavior of about four billion people

You only need to know their names. Their ID matches their names to their faces.

First result on mojeek! Sounds like discovery of the site is great then

Tickets are issued to a name and are confirmed at entry with photo ID, just like with an airline ticket.

Maybe you had quadruple digits!

Sorry man. We don’t accept any of that talk here. Google and Microsoft are corporations and we don’t like those. It’s Linux all the way, no matter how horribly inconvenient that would be in practice.

Absolutely agreed on all points!

How have I made up a narrative? My premise from the start was the absurdity of dismissing the dangers of vehicle fires, and there’s data showing that a significant number of people die in EV fires. You’ve decided to argue that the deaths somehow matter less—that’s making up a narrative to justify your, frankly, ludicrous position.

I’m sure that if somebody you loved died in such an event and somebody came along telling you that you’re “an idiot” for having legitimate concerns, should be ignored and lumps you into a group of “disingenuous cunts,” you’d have a different perspective.

Narrowing down the relevant information from your otherwise interesting comment, we can conclude that, if the sources are accurate, Teslas on average are more unsafe in terms of fire safety than the most unsafe internal combustion engine vehicle ever manufactured.

I think it’s ludicrous to dismiss those concerns as “fucking bonkers” and that we “can ignore them.” New addition to this list is that we can evidently also generalize all those EVs deaths as being “due to driver error,” so I suppose good riddance? Not really sure what to make of that, but boy do these threads sure show the best of humanity.

Cool source. Ok, I’ll bite. The number of fire deaths in Teslas alone drawfs the number of fatalities in the infamous Pinto. The number is being tracked by volunteers because there’s no data from the NFPA or others that segments by EV vs ICE, but the number of highway vehicle fire deaths has been trending sharply upwards since 2016.

Ah, Lemmy. You never disappoint with sharing hilariously inaccurate information in comments!

Hisense UR9 RGB, but note that the port is on the left bezel of the panel. Hopefully saved you a click.

What an ill-informed take. “The instant” in fact took several decades; between 8mm and DVD this was effectively the de facto format.

You’re absolutely right about how the grievances against the company should be factored in. You’ve formulated it very well and I entirely agree with you.

To be clear, what puzzles me about this community is the fervor you mention about Linux. In my own experience, and while giving Ubuntu the benefit of the doubt out of frustration with Windows, I personally found it to be exceedingly disappointing. I don’t think it’s fair to say that I’m among the lucky ones to have few issues with Windows, because distilling my experience with Linux, I might draw sweeping generalizations about Linux as a whole.

While I, too, encourage everybody to try Linux, I would caution them to set their expectations accordingly. In my opinion and experience, Linux is tailored towards an audience of users with more time to troubleshoot problems and a willingness to accept a lower quality bar (for a lack of better words) in exchange for distancing themselves from the corporation behind it.
