So… What are those two stars for then?

That means they are only depending on apple for the one thing only apple provides, which is app purchases on the Apple platform. Everything else they have locally or backed up somewhere else. It’s literally their point that they’re independent despite having used the platform for so long.

Why would I remove my laptop fans? They’re the ones that keep up their morale and cheer them on.

Never did. Doesn’t change the fact that a lot of forums are now deserted and have a pinned post that points to a fucking discord.

I don’t think there are many applications that I hate with more passion than discord and anybody who willingly chooses that garbage piece of software to further hide what used to be searchable forum content behind login walls and proprietary apis should be forced to search for a solution for a simple problem of their most beloved hobby all over hundreds of stupid discord channels for all eternity.

Which is entirely not the point.

Do I look like I know what an MSG is?

Well, none of what you say is wrong. It’s just not the point. There were other options besides tesla - and while they were different (e.g. I’m well aware of the small golf battery), they were there.

You say that for you it was the only decent option. Fine. But not the point. Maybe your usage profile warranted what tesla offered. But “Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then” is just wrong. That’s all I said.

That’s literally their point?

Regular cars are capable of lasting until they literally break down and die.

These don’t exist anymore. If they do, it doesn’t matter if they move by burning fossils or electricity. It’s not a matter of EVs being movable smart devices that will be left behind eventually, it’s a matter of cars being like that.

I’m pretty sure Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then.

Absolutely not.

I bought a BEV back then. It was a VW Golf. Still driving it. The leaf, eNiro and i3 were contenders for me.

Just to add to this: this is where that weird trope of American culture to associate lube with masturbation comes from as you obviously can’t masturbate by moving your foreskin back and forth - so you need some kind of lubrication to just rub your penis without it getting sore. It took me literal decades to understand that odd connection from American teenager comedies as I literally had no clue why they kept making jokes about hand cream.

The one tool I’m actively using all the time is git. I mean, I know I’m probably using the Linux kernel more than that, but when it comes to a conscious choice, it’s git. My documents are all version controlled. It gives me such a peace of mind.

Got an iPhone from my work… I really want to like it, but damn, I miss the back button.

On top of that, lower saxony (where VW resides) has a law that effectively gives the country blocking minority rights, so those 53 percent don’t give Porsche the ability to actually control the company.

You would have a point if they said what you wrote, but it’s

Denn ich sag es nur ein mal

So it’s literally “because”.

And then they repeat it, yes. 🤷

The whole episode was terrific. I mean, I couldn’t watch it in one go, the Fremdscham was just too hard, but man, every ten minute piece I could bear was just on point.

It’s annoying to explain
Because it’s actually quite simple
So listen closely
Because I’ll say it only once

If you’re anti-ANTIFA you are FA You can say what you want
But that’s the truth
And I wish I didn’t have to constantly be against something But how is that supposed to work with all those goddamn Nazi pigs?

And if it annoys you to hear that that’s not my problem
but your problem… not hard to understand at all.

I could take care of nice things
We could take care of nice things
Instead, we have to deal with the scum

If you’re anti-ANTIFA you are FA You can say what you want
But that’s the truth
And I wish I didn’t have to constantly be against something But how is that supposed to work with all those goddamn Nazi pigs?

How is that supposed to work?
How is that supposed to work?
How is that supposed to work, please?

“I’ll go absolutely barebones on electricity usage. Just a router and my gaming console!”

I don’t think it’s a good idea to opt out of something like a fridge or lighting.
