The most common issue for BYDs specifically is tires that need to be replaced more often than non-EV drivers expect and optional safety features usually missing from the lower end models.

Most EVs are dead simple compared to ICE cars; when you have literally 100x fewer parts there is a lot less to go wrong. This is especially true when you’re not trying to introduce FSD or other superfluous features because you want to be a 1980s cyberpunk villain industrialist.

Got any source on that? The EV lines are nearly 100% automated.

The foundation of capitalism is Profit is King.

The free market, aka competition, is the least profitable method of production for a company. It’s terrible for your bottom line. Profit is the only thing that matters, and specifically Profit by the Metric evaluated by those with the purse-strings; i.e. in the US this is profit per quarter.

‘Free Market’ economics is not only not limited to capitalism, capitalism is inherently antithetical to competition and the free market and will always seek to eliminate it entirely.

Back when deeply ingrained societal ideas were first being forced into the genome it took a wide-range of life experience to survive to an old age. Sure most people that lived to 5 made it to 50 for most of human history, barring pandemics and society-changing genocideswars, but most people don’t even gray or wrinkle by then in any significant way. But we all know to treat old-looking people with more respect than others; specifically because to make it from 50-whatever before a time of antibiotics and nutritional science required an incredible amount of experience dealing with a lot of people (you could just be left to float out on an iceberg or chucked off a cliff or left in a forest if people don’t like you after all) and an incredible amount of folk wisdom on how to get a varied diet in the location you were in so that the common stuff doesn’t kill you even when you’re vulnerable.

We’ve abandoned that part of the human and animal experience, but we still hold the genetic memory of the time when that was common, since it was less than a century ago for most of humanity. The old people alive today statistically rarely struggled, they never really had to grow up, and they inadvertently developed a society perfectly focused at keeping old people alive for as long as possible to drain them of all their financial resources. So they have no more wisdom than a 20-something that doomscrolls on the fairly educational side of the internet.

Because distros don’t do it differently. Different DEs sometimes deviate from the established standards and practices. It’s not a distro change, it’s whatever weird little DE you use that decided to do something stupid.

That being said .desktop is a unified standard with unified documentation implemented in a fairly unified way across various DEs, with the only difference is some DEs support finding desktop files in some extra folder locations.

Every distro could maintain a complete list of popular DEs and a link to the documentation, or people could just look it up for the DEs they use and target. I agree there should, at this point in time, be some standard service to just call and handle desktop files that all DEs use that way application level developers can just call that same service and everything gets put everywhere it needs to be, but given the controversy of systemd, there’s not going to be a universal solution for that since this is absolutely not a kernel-level service that needs to happen.

Nothing, the American populace is incapable of rebellion without bourgeois leadership telling them to rebel. Until the ruling class is splintered enough that a rebellious faction is willing to take the risk in recruiting the working class while somehow avoiding class consciousness, the US populace would never dare to go against its owners

At least your name checks out.

One side was floating arms shipment cancellations and trying to broker a peace deal.

No side did this. Biden said he was going to do this, then he went behind congress multiple times to deliver weapons. Harris explicitly stated her policy on Gaza was the same as the Biden administration. Which would be useless ceasefires (ceasefires aren’t ceasefires if only one side stops), empty words, while fully materially supporting the genocide while also supplying US intelligence and personnel for the genocide.

Yeah that’s giving Americans far too much credit. One could imagine an educated populace could understand ‘Those willing to do genocide to others are willing to do it to you,’ but we are talking about the US here. They barely even go to school.

White women. That is the majority of Trump’s base.

Yeah it sucks Harris and the DNC fully supported the genocide in Gaza. Hopefully they, and the american public, has learned their lesson.

China, was the magic answer, at 62 current reactors and another 50 expected to come online by 2030. Without a single nuclear disaster.

To the rest of your nonsense, CANDUs still require enriched uranium. As in, if the ‘natural uranium’ (the “organic” label of the nuclear world) does not have enough 238, it can’t work.

You mean thorium reactors, invented in the US in the 1950s? Or recycle reactors, also invented by the US in the 1950s?

Also that second part also describes the actual world leader in nuclear power which has more than 100x the reactors of Canada and no nuclear disasters on record…

Being a world leader in nuclear power just means you have more than three power plants and you haven’t been bombed by israel or the US for it.

No it’s definite the US, which was the inspiration for the nazi party’s policies.

And there’s a dozen other sites covering this, though unsurprisingly (since both parties support this in the US) little main stream news coverage yet.

It can, sure, but that isn’t the point of work or where most people fulfill their social needs. That is called finding community in suffering. During bank robberies and other hostage situations the victims also find ways to trauma bond and take their mind off of their current suffering, to the point where trauma bonded people are far more likely to be lifelong friends and partners than just random strangers.

In an ideal world where people magically get to do what they want to do and not worry about getting paid, your view point makes more sense. We don’t live in that world though, and selecting applicants based on how much they’re willing to fake being your friend just results in less competency and more work for everyone.

I said the opposite, actually, the problem is your work is your entire life. Jobs are there to enable you to live life. They are not your life. They are not what you do, they are the necessary component that allows you to do what you want to do because we live in a world that does not value human life.

While NIMBYISM is real, it’s not happening here. The protests in council meetings are not ‘we don’t want it here,’ it’s ‘we don’t want it anywhere in our state.’ Because the effects of AI are state wide reductions in resources.
