Nah, BMWs were actually pretty great, for a time. Well put-together, fairly reliable, engaging to drive, very comfortable, pleasantly designed.
I daily drive a 2003 E39 5 series with 260,000 miles on the clock. Mechanically it’s great.
I did have to sort some rust out a while back, but that’s par for the course in the UK. Salted roads, never far from the sea, constantly damp roads spraying all that salty road grime under the car. For the love of god people, rust protect your cars.
Not surprised a user from a tankie instance is angry about a western country imposing rules on a domestic company for reasons of national security, but is completely fine with China allowing barely any western countries in their market at all and, when they are, enforcing that they must be run by Chinese and have a close relationship with the government.
It’s bad when the west takes an inch, but it’s good when China takes a mile.
I can see the logic of being able to set certain items that you always want in stock, and your fridge being able to tell you if you’re running low or if it’s beyond its expiry.
Can smart fridges do that? I don’t think so.
Even if they can, it’s probably not worth the extra expense, complexity, data mining, security concerns, or the fact that Samsung or whoever can shut down functionality whenever they want.
I just want a basic fridge-freezer.
They’ve continually called for switching to renewables though, and put out a bunch of videos on how damaging climate change is and will continue to be…
They literally didn’t do that though…
Except you lied about who they are owned by.
Why make yourself out to be virtuous and caring about the truth when your entire premise is a lie?
I get the frustration, but it does actually cost money to make content, especially high effort content like this.
Add on top of that the fact that the people involved need to be able to eat, have a home, provide for their families, have a life.
People would complain if they were sponsored by some shitty VPN provider or the like, and also complain about them trying to sell merch. I certainly wouldn’t work for free, so I don’t see why they should have to.
It’s not really that hard to do a couple of key presses to skip ahead, either. It’s what I do.
They don’t say that, though?
They say things like “with effort, we can solve climate change, or minimise its effects.”
Which is very different. And personally, I hate over the top doomerism where everyone says everything is fucked beyond repair all the time.
A product like the Framework laptops is inevitably going to be more costly.
Not only do they not have the scale of Dell, HP, Apple, etc, but they also need to use modular components, factor upgradability into the design, etc.
Even for the DIY ones, someone has to hand assemble it fully, test it, then strip it down again. That’s additional cost and process complexity.
For a while, but only people that closely follow Linux news would know about it.
I didn’t say they have to like it, that would be silly.
I’m criticising them for making an incorrect statement, being corrected on it, then acting extremely proud of being ignorant of the facts, and committing to not informing themselves.
Imagine being this proud of ignorance. I can’t wrap my head around it.
Gnome is not the default. Windows is the default. People go out of their way to install Linux, they choose what they want to install. Nobody forces Gnome. People choose it.
The only distro that Valve seriously supports is SteamOS which… doesn’t use Gnome.
Besides, you thinking Gnome UX is bad is just an opinion. I think it’s far better than any of the clunky Win95-like UXes I see. But I don’t go around shitting on people for preferring a windows-like UX. It’s their machine and they should use whatever they like.
Or, alternatively, people can use whatever they like on their own machines?
I’ll never understand people who care this much about the DE someone else uses.
It’s funny how much people say Linux is about choice, but the second they see someone pick a different choice to them, they go crazy.
GoG is also a Storefront for closed source software, genius. Do you think the software on GoG is open source? Lmao
Absolutely zero.
Coal cheap? Incorrect.
And it’s only easy if you’re fine burning brown coal and spewing shit everywhere.
He said it’s unfortunate that the US government doesn’t allow sex with children or animals.
Firefox adding another search engine choice isn’t really headline news to me but cool I guess, especially if it’s another option that’s not Google?
I’ll continue using something else, though.
