Turns out violent threats are not protected speech under the first amendment. Who knew?!

Fuck around and find out.

I realize most of you, dear Lemmings, are distraught in fear over this news. Fear not! “Tesla is fixing the vehicles by releasing a free, over-the-air software update.”

It’s almost like this “news article” was deliberately trying to mislead you to gain ad revenue! Fortunately for you, I have dispelled the misinformation!

Are AI products released by a company liable for slander? 🤷🏻

I predict we will find out in the next few years.

I can attest this is true for me. I was shopping for a new clothes washer, and was strongly considering an LG until I saw it had “AI wash”. I can see relevance for AI in some places, but washing clothes is NOT one of them. It gave me the feeling LG clothes washer division is full of shit.

Bought a SpeedQueen instead and been super happy with it. No AI bullshit anywhere in their product info.

Fun fact: non-profits are required to report the incomes of their highest paid employees on IRS form 990. In 2022, Mark Surman was paid $344,483. This is well below executive pay in Silicon Valley, and on par with normal software engineer pay in the same area according to GlassDoor.

Sure, some executives are overpaid, but this is very much not the case here.

It’s worth it to find out before spewing hate and bias.

YouTube staff underestimate the amount of effort tech savvy people will devote to remove minor annoyances. Ultimately, the core capability of YouTube is to deliver a video from its servers to your browser. Adblock tech will continue to win the cat-and-mouse game in the long run.

Check out Ars Technica. I’ve always enjoyed the fact that the are more technical than average news sources. For example, when they report on a software security vulnerability, they’ll actually go into the command line and try it for themselves. Pretty good reporters which more than basic tech knowledge, if you ask me…

laughs in Linux desktop

Why do people continue to put up with this? I don’t get any ads or bloatware like “Paint 3D” or “X Box” on Linux Mint. And Linux desktops are so easy to use now! Blows my mind that people tolerate these antics from Microsoft.

Can we just use normal words? How about “community”?

Yeaaaa, a complete redesign from scratch sounds way more dangerous. “Noah, get the boat” isn’t always the best answer. There’s been a lot of thought and testing put into the magnificent work that is SSH over the past few decades.

I wanted something Reddit-ish to fill time and entertain me. The money-grab moves Reddit was doing annoyed me. The final straw (and most important factor) was the retirement of my favorite viewer app - Apollo. Moving to Lemmy using Voyager is a no brainer compared to Reddit’s shitty user interface.

I have not regretted it. Bought a second EV for my family as well. Most of my extended family have also bought EVs and all had positive experiences. I don’t know anyone who has regretted it.

This app got me laid,” says one five-star review on the Apple App Store. “Best way to buy tickets for events. 2nite is the truth and the future,” the horny user wrote.

This author knows what’s up. Most glorious ending to a news article I seen in a while.

I mean… so do people.

Ok … duh … the glasses are the best artifact.

You could be running the world in no time with that kind of charm applied to politics.

Move to another country?

I’m trying to figure out the same question.

Oof. Sadly, events of the last few years support your statement. 🙄

I see two basic reasons.

  1. it gives companies plausible argument to embed telemetry into their products. Should your TV manufacturer or coffee maker manufacturer be able to monitor every single button you press on your device? Probably not, but they would like to “because AI”! Now they have an excuse to be as invasive as they want, “to serve you better”. The dream - for them - would be total surveillance of your habits to sell you more shit. Remember, it always comes back to money.

  2. The old adage never fails: if it’s free, you are the product. Imagine AI being so pervasive, that now everywhere you look, everything you interact with can subtly suggest things. It doesn’t have to be overt. But if AI can nudge the behavior of the masses to do a thing, like buy more soda, or favor one brand over another, then it has succeeded in boosting company bottom line. Sure the AI can do useful shit for you, but the true AI problem companies want to solve is “say or do the right shit to influence this consumer to buy my thing”. You are the target the AI is operating on. And with billions of interactions and tremendous training, it will find the optimal way to influence the masses to buy the thing.

> mfw the paywall is preventing me from reading his “story” more than the Biden administration 🙄🥱😂

You are the best.

Steam is your best bet here. I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate. Previously played Civ VI a lot… lots of great choices.

This is the comment I came here for.

Ok. 👍

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

“Hahahaha, I’ll GET HIM and steal his moment by quitting and losing on purpose!”, said no one ever.

I’d recommend checking out Linux Mint with the “cinnamon” desktop.

Installing hardware drivers and software is a breeze. It comes with a software manager for easily adding new programs.

Screenshot included for convenience:

I value a distro that “Just Works”^TM and I can affirm that Linux Mint is it! Been using it for 5 years and would never go back.

I pronounce it the correct way.

It sounds like your issue might be related to how your Docker networks are configured for DNS and internet access. Try these:

  1. Check Network Configuration: Ensure your new networks are correctly configured to allow internet access. Docker networks should be able to route traffic to the internet by default unless specified otherwise.

  2. DNS Configuration: Since you're using Pi-hole for DNS, make sure the new networks are properly configured to use Pi-hole as their DNS server.

  3. Inspect Network Settings: Compare the settings of old_main with the new networks. Use the following command to inspect the network configuration:

    docker network inspect old_main
    docker network inspect cloudflared
    

    Pay attention to the gateway, subnet, and any custom DNS settings.

  4. Check Docker Daemon Configuration: Verify that your daemon.json file is correctly set up to use Pi-hole for DNS. It should look something like this:

    {
      "dns": [""]
    }
    
  5. Verify Container Configuration: Ensure that your containers are correctly configured to use the new network. This can be specified in your docker-compose files like this:

    version: '3.7'
    services:
      cloudflared:
        image: cloudflare/cloudflared
        networks:
          - cloudflared
    
    networks:
      cloudflared:
        external: true
    
  6. Check Firewall Rules: Ensure there are no firewall rules on your host or network equipment that might be blocking traffic from the new networks.

  7. Test Connectivity: Run a simple connectivity test from within a container on the new network to check internet access:

    docker run --rm -it --network cloudflared alpine ping -c 4 google.com
    

    If this fails, the issue is likely with network configuration rather than the containers themselves.

  8. Docker Network Restart: Sometimes, Docker networks need to be restarted to apply changes correctly. Try removing and recreating the problematic networks:

    docker network rm cloudflared
    docker network create cloudflared
    

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, there might be a deeper configuration problem. At this point, it might be helpful to see the exact configuration of your docker-compose files and the output of the network inspection commands.

I’ve thought about that before. 😂

In all honesty, $TSLA made a lot of people rich 3 to 4 years ago. I’m not the only one.

I honestly don’t care which companies do it, but I’ve always been interested in green investing. When so many governments are pouring money into energy transition, there’s bound to be profit to be made.

Sure, makes sense. But the title was “what’s a good phone that doesn’t force ads on me.” None of the things you listed were mentioned in the post. I stand by my answer 😎. Come, join us in the land of good-user-interface.

Also agreed! It’s like Elon and the thousands of people who work at Tesla are basically the same thing /s

Elon Musk clearly intended for the warning lights on Teslas worldwide to not operate according to the RULES. He is clearly a scoundrel, and NTSHA should GET HIM. Why do billionaires even control our car’s turn signals?! Surely there is some kind of review process for … like … selling cars!

This guy gets it.

Agreed. This is why most Tesla recall headlines are clickbait. It’s the first thing I check when I see one.

I sunk about 70k into $TSLA in 2020. Sold the brokerage shares to pay off my mortgage and buy a Model X for my family. The stock also grew my kids’ UTMA accounts to pay for about half of college, or perhaps large down payment on their future home.

There were a lot Tesla of haters back in 2020. There are probably more now. But whatever your opinion may be, that company has changed the world for the better. Accelerated the transition to electric transport: just like they said they’d do. I’m excited for the second generation to succeed: Rivian, BYD, and other companies who’re serious about it.

Best financial move I ever made? Latch on to a company that has purpose and a great product, then cash out for the things that matter. I just wish I’d had capital back when Apple launched the iPhone!

(P.S. to all the haters who’re gonna come at me with downvotes: I have more dollars than the number of downvotes you’ll ever be able to dish out! So come at me brah.)
