Software was probably one of the last areas where Tesla still had a small edge over the competition.

The competition has caught up when it comes to range and Teslas were never really competitive when it comes to quality or price.

I used Vim once. I still do, mostly because I don't know how to quit it.

A decade of development and optimization vs a couple of weeks/months.

Here he is introducing (and inadvertently humiliating) his friend Elon, who he shares a shocking amount of awful views with:

That sounds like the right amount to me.

He's living proof that time travel into the past is never going to get invented ... likely because he cut most science funding.

So eine Manipulation, sollte sie sich bewahrheiten, hätte auch andere Vorteile für Tesla: dadurch kann man Reichweite und Verbrauch schönrechnen.

Ehrlichen Herstellern würde es schwer fallen, ähnliche Werte zu erreichen.

Not him, he'll take whatever he can get and sell it to his cultists as the world's greatest deal.

As usual, it's the US taking the beating ...

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who get that joke and those who don't.

SAP is a strong contender for the second worst thing Germany has ever done.

Programmers who maintain code get laid off, programmers who create new code get promoted.

These kind of lay-offs always result in more bugs and more fucking up shit for no reason.

Mullvad no longer supports port forwarding.

His Instagram tells a really sad story. He was an infrequent poster of perfectly ordinary content. No sign of any mental illness: pictures of his sisters wedding, some jokes, nothing concerning.

Then, some posts about the death of his mother and almost right after, his sharp decline in mental health becomes apparent.

“Our presidential election is not really democracy [...]"

Well, duh!

No, it really doesn't. German shoots and kills, on average, fewer than 10 people per year. The total amount of bullets discharged at people hovers around 50 to 60.

In a country of 83 million.

The US population is four times larger and the number of victims of police shootings is literally 100 times higher. An estimated 1173 in 2024 and the US internationally doesn't even properly track this number.

Heck, even France's police kill significantly more people than Germany's "trigger happy nazi cops".

They did give a reason though:

"Our overall goal is to provide a safe space to disenfranchised persons."

That goal is fundamentally incompatible with an open medium where they don't have full control over every participant. That's why they have already defederated from any large instance that allowed open registrations months ago and have only continued to cut ties rather than to mend them.

BeeHaw's definition of "nice" isn't your or my definition of "nice". It allows no dissent or opposing views on most subjects and more so, it doesn't even allow for its members to be exposed to different ideas, however briefly.

They are trying to build the perfect echo chamber, free from anyone not "nice". You simply cannot build such a chamber if you don't have full control over every aspect of it.

BeeHaw's entire concept would have been far more suitable for an old bulletin board style forum, the kind that is all but extinct today, but not for an open (in every sense if the word) platform.

I'm writing this as someone whose views actually align pretty well with those of BeeHaw's - with the exception of their heavy handed approach to anything and anyone not fully aligned with them.

Their stated goal simply isn't achievable outside of a sealed environment, so, no, Lemmy probably isn't for them. They should look into phpBB and co.

That's probably one of the most positive things written about the new pope.

From what I have read so far, he's the "middle of the road" candidate, your average, run-of-the-mill, Catholic bishop:

A little anti-LGBT, just a bit of a pedophile protector and apologist, default-sexist ... but not hard-line enough to make any of it his entire personality.

Ich hab nicht viel beizutragen außer: danke, ich habe deinen Beitrag mit Aufmerksamkeit gelesen. Ein Upvote allein schien mir dafür nicht ausreichend.

This isn't the Onion - which should be evident by the almost total absence of humor. This is The Babylon Bee, producing "Christian conservative satire", which works about as well as one would expect.

Hence the "funny" equation of Mengele's experiments with gender affirming care.

Why this unfunny crap is getting upvotes here is beyond me.
