Politely, fuck Discord, and fuck anyone who thinks Discord is the right way to make anything accessible to the public.
You had me at “politely”.
Arch is great when you’re somewhat experienced with Linux. Otherwise I recommend an Arch + QoL distro like EndeavourOS.
I’m a developer using Linux for well over a decade and a half and I use EndeavourOS because it just adds a level of ease.
This phenomenon is primarily due to fears of high repair costs, lack of technical information, and long lead times for replacement parts.
Vehicles that use batteries as structural elements are more prone to being totaled by insurance companies.
I think you’re missing what I’m saying here. I’m pointing out that Chinese auto makers don’t have the same processes as more experienced companies. They’re just slinging out cars into foreign markets with almost no extra work.
Besides, the article didn’t say the cars are “fine”, it quoted someone saying that they’ve seen some cars that would have been fixed quickly if it was a domestic brand because of part availability.
I don’t understand why you’re referring to China’s regulations all the time. They are irrelevant.
I wish they were, but those cars are made in China. There’s a lot that gets looked the other way.
And someone at Tesla said recently in an interview that they wanted to do a certain thing with the Cybertruck but couldn’t because “we couldn’t get the regulation changed on that one”. (I don’t remember what that specific thing was)
Aside from the batteries and fake auto-pilot, the non-Cybertruck Tesla’s have a very good track record.
It’s both. China’s lack of regulations make a bad thing worse.
lmao I have a very strong disdain for Tesla.

The reality is that I don’t think any EV is “safe” as far as the batteries go

Keep in mind that negative stories from China (anything that casts China itself or people/companies within China) are heavily and aggressively censored.
Downside is that it won’t work if my internet or power is out
If it doesn’t work when your internet is out, then it’s not local.
If you want yourself or your house to burn in a lítium battery fire, then sure, go for it.
Edit: I’m going to tag this post of mine and come back in a few years when all the stories about banning Chinese-made EVs come out because of safety issues. See you all in a couple years.
You’re introducing an argument as a way to undermine the viewpoint that’s opposite to yours.
No one said it’s fine “when we do it”. That’s not the point being discussed.
The other bigger issue here is that these new cars are coming from a region that has a horrendous track record for safety and quality. EVs when done right are still a considerable risk with battery fires, but the ones manufactured in China are much worse for quality and safety. In the next few years, as these cars flood markets around the world, it will be a massive issue.
I’ve tried Zerotier before and it doesn’t hold a candle to Tailscale.
Tailscale
It’s WireGuard based and it’s completely free for 100 devices.
Pixelfed is the alternative we want
I posted my sides across many comments. But the same argument applies to everyone saying the opposite.
Ok, now that’s awesome! I’m installing it now. Thanks!
I’m using a Pixel 7 right now, and I love the camera. I’m not sure I’ll be happy if I lose all the camera features.
Thanks for replying
GrapheneOS isn’t a complete solution, especially if you still use things like Facebook and Whatsapp. Although it is a massive plus to privacy.
Quick question. I’ve been hesitating with jumping to Graphene for a little while now. The two things that have held me back is losing access to Google Camera and Android Pay (or Google Pay, or Google Wallet, or Android Wallet. Whatever Google’s calling it these days).
The Google Wallet feature I think has taken care of itself. They pushed an update that requires you to re-authenticate after the initial tap for “security”. Which means half the time the transaction fails and the cashier has to redo the payment process. So I just gave up and have gone back to tapping with my cards directly for the past month.
So that just leaves the Google Camera. How’s the quality with Graphene?
