Everybody: Fuck Peter Thiel, fuck Elon Musk, fuck Honey, Fuck PayPal

Everybody: unflinchingly using PayPal

It’s from Cara Daggett :)
I’m petty sure it was on Wikipedia as well, but I can’t seem to find it anymore.

Petromasculinity?

This is an age old topic and there is no right answer to it. You need to decide where you draw the line. Unpersecuted vigilantism will lead to chaos, on the other hand, we live in an unjust and structural violent system where rich people kill by signing papers and poor, desperate people die. They sometimes even vote for the elite before dying.
I glued myself to the street to protest our government not acting on our planet heating up. I knew I broke the law but I felt like I needed to. It was a rough experience, still I don’t regret it because I did what felt necessary to me. The guy shooting the CEO probably feels the same, and pathetic “Proud Boys” chasing immigrants do so as well. For me, violence against other people is a line I don’t see myself crossing. But I can think of scenarios where I would understand people resorting to it.

Wait, the guy is heavy! Pretty sure it’s saturated fatty acid and cholesterol clocking his arteries, not Hollywood.

I don’t think so, this is rather complex video editing software and I never heard about anyone running it in a VM. Maybe I’ll give it a try someday.

Went looking for mushrooms in the woods with some friends. A few meters off a trail we found a rusty metal pipe sticking out of the ground. Looked like someone threw some chemical waste out. We tried to open it, to pull it out, we put a stick in (I get sweaty palms writing this down right now) and smelled the strange liquid. It didn’t work so we went home. One friend send the location to the local waste authority. They called a day later, it was a phosphorus bomb dropped by the British during WW2, it was still active and had to be defused. Fuck me! This was not deep in the woods, people walked by in plain sight for decades.

Exactly the same setup and experience here. Work forces me to use an inferior application in windows instead of a more powerful option in Linux and it boils my blood.

So here I go again, searching the web to find out what jc141 is. I go to Reddit, huge wall of text that says stuff like “Peazip is not recommended to extract zpaq”. So I go to GitHub, it links to GitLab, which tells me about Arch: stable, Distrobox, Debian: unstable. 10 minutes have passed and I still don’t know what jc141 is. This gives me PTSD, it’s Linux at it’s worst.

This may not be the right place for a superficial rant, but: I never figured Lutris out. Installed it a couple of times in the past years and rage-deleted it after a week of fiddeling because NOTHING WORKED. Not GZDoom, no emulator, no windows game let alone the RDR2 repack. I don’t think I’m that dumb, but seriously, I need help. I love the idea of a gaming platform on Linux, but the time I already sank into this piece of software without accomplishing anything is depressing!

Like I just discovered, shared and mourned in my post that got deleted? I really don’t understand what’s going on here. :). Where was the misinformation?

This one was, obviously. I wrote Oh no! and posted it. I obviously wasn’t trying to sell this as my opinion, calm down!

Then tell me about it instead of downvoting! I’d love a custom rom for my car and was obviously not happy about the AI answer.

Yeah I obviously did, because I wanted to know the answer and shared it with you. Why would that be a bad thing?

Must be this mix of 8bit videogame dub music 🕹🎶🌴

Yeah, fuck them, right? Fucking assholes building a database with everything we learned and did as a species, making it accessible for everyone for free with their inconsistent editing. Let Wikipedia go broke with it’s abundance of editing issues! Who will miss this piece of shit site everyone can add to, edit and correct even without an account. Not us, right!

Oh no:
It is theoretically possible to replace the operating system of an electric car with an open-source or custom alternative, similar to flashing a custom ROM on Android smartphones. However, in practice, this comes with significant challenges. Here’s an overview:

Theoretical Feasibility

1. Hardware Compatibility:

   • Electric vehicles rely on specific hardware components (e.g., control units, sensors, actuators) that are tightly integrated with the operating system.
   • A custom operating system would need to understand and control this hardware. However, the underlying hardware specifications (APIs, protocols) are often proprietary and not publicly available.

2. Software Architecture:

   • Modern electric cars use highly complex software architectures that include real-time operating systems, safety-critical systems, and user-facing interfaces.
   • A replacement OS would need to handle safety-critical functions (like braking and steering) as well as infotainment features.

3. Open-Source Efforts:

   • There are initiatives like Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), which aim to create open-source software for vehicles. However, these are typically designed for automakers and not readily available for end-user modification.

Practical Challenges

1. Safety Risks:

   • Operating safety-critical functions such as braking, propulsion, and battery management requires certified software.
   • Modifying the software introduces safety risks, which can have serious consequences, especially on public roads.

2. Legal Barriers:

   • Many countries mandate that vehicles operate only with approved software to ensure compliance with safety and emissions regulations.
   • Modifying the vehicle’s software could result in the loss of roadworthiness certification.

3. Technical Restrictions:

   • Manufacturers often use encryption and digital signatures to protect access to the vehicle’s software.
   • Replacing the operating system would require bypassing these security measures, which could be legally and technically problematic.

4. Lack of Community Support:

   • Unlike smartphones or PCs, there is currently no large-scale community actively developing user-friendly open-source operating systems for electric vehicles.

Examples from Practice

• Some enthusiasts and hackers have managed to modify software on vehicles like Tesla cars to add custom features or access internal data. However, these projects remain experimental and risky.
• Initiatives like Comma.ai focus on creating aftermarket autonomy systems, demonstrating the challenges of modifying or replacing existing systems.

Conclusion

Replacing the operating system of an electric car is theoretically possible but practically extremely difficult due to legal, technical, and safety-critical constraints. While it could be an exciting project for hobbyists and developers, any modifications would likely render the vehicle unfit for legal road use in most jurisdictions.

Where my twelvethousandtwentyfive people at?! We don’t care about the Jesus, Neolithic Revolution all the way!

lol, stop trolling. Nothing is real right? Animal suffering is.

Local meat is not better for the environment. Scientific information is only one click away. Look at this graph, it’s impressive. Plus:

Vegan Bullshit Bingo
#11 I only eat organic and regional

While seemingly 99% of people say this about themselves, the proportion of organic meat in virtually all western countries is less than 2%. Maybe you consciously buy organic products for the big feast, but then in everyday life you go get your weekly hamburger, the restaurant around the corner, or “just this once” prefer to reach for the somewhat cheaper discount products. Moreover, in organic farming, animals suffer and die in the same way. Organic cannot solve the core problems: Murder and exploitation for pleasure. The goal is more about soothing the conscience of consumers rather than actually helping the animals.
