It’s lovely there. Been to many a festival along the river

Nice statue.

Fuck the Russian state.

Reasonable. See you in the back-40.

Hate to ask what you'd need to do for a steak.. 🤐

The current state of EVs is not useful for all people

Again, nothing is useful to ALL people. The EV is far less polluting than the car, easier to drive, easier and cheaper to live with over time...but it doesn't mean you go back to burning dinosaur juice (and all the pollution you need to create and ship it locally) as a solution for everyone.

Unfortunately EVs aren’t in a place where they can be used by everyone.

I would agree that it's infrastructure that is not in a place where EVs make sense for everyone. The US is firmly behind in the race on this point, likely hampered by a battle of plug formats between CCS and Tesla. I've a 58kWh (useable) VW ID.3 hatchback - perfect for Europe or just 2 people, which we are. Had it for 2.5 years now, and the difference in charging infrastructure has changed radically. In March of 2021, driving from Amsterdam to Frankfurt or Paris, I did have to plan charge stops - but now, I don't even think about it. Everything's CCS, available nearly everywhere on the highway or in smaller towns (at least 50kW charging).

Just did a trip to the midlands to see my brother a few weeks ago (another ID.3 owner) and he's got a bank of CCS Tesla chargers next to his Pizza Hut and an Ionity not far from there. On the trip I had choices between FastNed, Ionity and Tesla...never thought if I'd make it, only if I could possibly go farther before charging.

...the dozens of phantom braking incidents on that trip

Yeah, that's a Tesla complaint I hear a lot. Don't have that particular issue in the ID, although if the mapping database isn't updated the car can slow down where it expects to have a exit lane or roadworks, but the swarm filtering that VW employs usually filters those exits out after a few weeks. Complete braking though? That's scary.

Nah. The world’s burning; going back to build more fires ain’t the way.

(Edited as I no can grammar)

Okay then, then I don’t use it, stick to Safari and phone call anyone who requires me using their site with Chrome. Or I’ll go elsewhere. I’ve been down this road with IE before…

but TBH i also wiped all my comments clean using powerdeletesuite

Same here! “No IPOs without APIs” is what I spread around 14 years of active Reddit use. Let it sit a few weeks to get backed up a few times and then erased it all.

So is the only way around it to not use Chromium-based browsers? Or does it pollute everything??

“You see, gentlemen, behind every great man there is a person, urging him on. And so it was with my Stella. She urged me on into outer space. Not that she meant to.”

Point proven!

This process needs to be a lot simpler. I can't tell you how many times I've had to do this for my partner (she just wants to use something other than Reddit but not technically inclined otherwise). If there was a prompt to fill it in for her, she'd be digging deeper into the fediverse.

Seriously - if we want any level of mass adoption, we have to design it more for the average person.

Texas courts are the favorite venue for most patent claims. Mostly because they suck at technology and give it up for a plaintiff.

Absolutely great film - I don’t think many movies now would start a film with a shellshocked child the way this one did…nabbed my wife’s attention immediately and kept her going to the end.

Archive.org is a great resource - just sayin’ 😉

Thanks for making it easy to add you to the Block list. 👍

Prediction: And then Musk, in a fit of pique, will reverse it again and she’ll bolt.

I had some issues using the original PowerDeleteSuite and then found this: PowerDeleteSuite with a 5 second timeout This one worked a treat:

The slight modification allowed me to see that there was an issue with one of my posts, but it also allowed me to keep plowing through 14 years of Reddit. I changed all the content (“No IPOs without APIs”) and let it sit for a week or two to allow it to be backed up and checked. Then I deleted all but 2 subs I used to mod (1 will go soon). So far, checking by AUTHOR: yeilds nothing.
