  • I agree and the market is not offering an affordable, equally capable alternative to combustion engines. EVs are a larp for anyone who needs to do more than just commute to and from work. (e.g. long distance travel, towing, hauling)

    This is the best idea I've seen for hauling. It's also basically open source.

  • Where are you getting that from?

    Luke 20:45-47 Beware of the Scribes 45 Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples, 46 “Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, 47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

    If we take it literally, I see two options:

    Poor exegesis incoming... I recommend getting an Orthodox Study Bible and reading the footnotes that follow along with each verse. The interpretation from the Church isn't isolated to scripture but includes church tradition and the analysis of the Church Fathers.

    The short version, however, is that the "money changing" was an exploitative racket the Pharisees used to enrich themselves.

  • I know how VPNs work. When I connect to a VPN I trust that the provider doesn't snoop on me, actually routes the traffic like they promise and combines my traffic effectively enough that it obfuscates my identity.

  • My main point is that you are expecting the impossible if you think a company with more cash on hand than the federal government is ever going to do anything but manipulate you. If anything this drama is either for show or an effort by the government to make Apple do even more of their bidding. You will never get fair and balanced reporting or non-manipulative "entertainment" from these fortune 500s. It's a lost cause. Find independent sources and look to them with skepticism because short of seeing it with your own eyes that's as close to the truth as you will get.

  • For "privacy" yes, almost entirely.

    If your VPN isn't routing to your home network so you can safely access selfhosted applications then you're basically just sharing your traffic with a total stranger and trusting them not to run telemetry etc.

  • Self-hosting was always the intent. Open source ended up being a bonus. People 30 years ago wouldn't understand why something like facebook would even need to exist. The internet is designed so literally everyone can have their own website.
