  • Nah, same here. If anything, the mild drama has brought even more interactive content to my feed. Like a type of a Streisand phenom or something; it's kinda having the opposite effect for me.

    Definitely a lot of wasted energy by pissy people, who get satisfaction from punching air. They could certainly channel it to something better for everyone... but I'm enjoying myself regardless. The only person who can waste your time is yourself, so I hope whoever's being bitchy is at least getting something out of it... cause it looks about as productive as a tantrum to me, and just as funny to watch.

    Whoever's being all butt-hurt out there... I'm laughing at you, not with you. And if you're that mad, maybe take your energy and use it to help someone offline. Nobody here will care in a little bit anyway.

    Actually, I'ma donate lemme.world a fiver just to drive home my point. Barbara Streisand or some shit lol

  • I'd like to say penguin, because I love them; but my experience keeps pointing me to a deer, whether I agree or not. My wife's seems to be a bee, for whatever reason. Just weird, coincidental observations that really made us wonder. But c'est la vie, I'm cool with a deer if it is what it is.

    But damn, do I love penguins

  • The vulnerability is much more of an issue for Tesla('s profits) than the owners. It's not a simple exploit and not the worst concern for average users of those chips. You have to have physical access to it in order to exploit it, as well as a system worth hacking (think, national security trying to prevent compromised personnel from physically using the exploit on their systems). I'm not worried about someone breaking into my house to physically hack my computer, just to find some memes and bullshit

    It still has to be addressed by both Intel and AMD, because that's their whole industry. But recalls and such aren't needed, because bugs can be exploited all over the place and this one isn't a high level risk for the average end-user. It's more of a concern for Intel/AMD reputation and the large industry users of their chips

  • Ya know, amongst the Hyundai hate, I kinda forgot that my first car was a used 2003 XG350... and I did love that thing. Drove it into the ground, but it really held it's own until I finally had to scrap it in 2017.

    I switched to Honda because simple repairs are easier and parts are normally cheaper. And it's just overall, a better and more reliable car. But that xg350 was pretty damn good to me

  • I missed the part where the car was at 150k, so I see what you're saying now. I just saw the "10 years" and was thinking that, with average driving and regular maintenance, that would be pretty shite. But at 150k, yeah... there would be some warning signs before it just slipped off, but it could be overlooked if "regular maintenance" is all that was being done

    I was told when I was a kid, "after about every 50k, ya need to take the car in for a 'tune-up' and have it looked at", and it's not the worst advice

    You had me laugh with replacing "nearly new oil every 3k miles" though. And every time, they're trying to upsell me on the damn wipers and airfilters. Like, it's ok I've got that covered when I need them... yes, I know it can affect gas mileage... just put the damn airlfilter back! I just need the oil changed please

  • A timing chain (not timing "belt) is designed to last the life of the vehicle. Oil maintenance of a car with a timing chain is an absolute must, but the chain isn't routinely replaced... if ever. So a 10 year life-span is pretty crap, if the oil changes were maintained. Even 120k miles puts a 10 year car at 1,000 miles per month, which is relatively heavy usage.

    I assume the genesis 120k replacement has more to do with the nylon guides and/or shit quality, if that's the recommendation

  • Nah, that's actually a my bad for not getting my point across. Looking back on my comment: I know I was trying to commend you, but I must've gave up on trying, because it fell completely flat (Not to just you, but to me too when I reread my reply). Dunno where my head was when I posted it, but I can see that I stopped trying at some point and just hit "send"

    The reason I commented to your post at all was because my first reaction was, "holy shit, that's so specifically accurate and funny at the same time... how was this person seeing a fucking heat map, and able to respond with their own map, that is both wildly accurate and hilarious, given the context".

    So I scoured the maps, because I wanted to commend you and also try and be as witty. Hawaii was one of the only (obvious) differences I could find (which makes sense when talking about diabetes and poverty)... but then idk what I did. Just literally gave up on being clever and posted a "spot the difference" comment

    So yeah, doesn't much matter in the grand scheme of things, but I still wanted to let ya know just in case... I thought your comment of the map was surprisingly astute, and I was kinda flabbergasted that it seemed like you just had that on standby. Like you were just waiting for this moment your whole freaking life, and then pulled that very specifically accurate map out of your ass, as soon as it was relevant.

    My comment fell flat on it's face, because it truly couldn't be topped. And I think I must've gotten distracted and gave up on my response, because the only thing I really wanted to convey was... fucking brava my friend. That was some S-tier shit you dropped; and so casually too. It wasn't necessarily news to me, but hot damn if it wasn't quick.

    My original comment should've just been "you win" or some shit like that, but I failed on both ends to get that across

    So very much so... holy hell friend bwahahahaha!!! Well fucking done (and pardon my language). But that was the very definition of "under-rated comment" to me. My applause to you

  • Now that's a discussion, and I appreciate your pragmatic response. The issue seems to be the flaming that is currently happening. Hopefully it cools down, and we can all resume our daily beliefs in a rational way. Right now, it looks like a clear brigade. A fear response to opposing views is common; but you don't get people listening by asserting that what you believe is correct.

    Better to defederate until an understanding can be established about code of conduct. Currently, it looks like a heap of comments that aren't helping the matter.

    From hexbears own announcement, they're trying to tell their users that defederation can happen if they don't play nice. And here we are with users creating discourse because of pre-emptive defederation... and it isn't helping their cause. Defederate and let it bump, it's not their instance to moderate. They won't even allow federation to other instances themselves, without admin approval. How is that fair? If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck... it's probably a duck.

    This looks like and sounds like targeted ideology, that isn't receptive to opposing views. Show good-faith to actual discussion and it wouldn't be a problem. But just look at the comments and see for yourself that this isn't good-faith, it's a thinly veiled attempt at a brigade. And you can ignore the comments and look at the announcement itself: they're trying to keep their users in-check (from the get-go) for polite discussion, but have already failed

    If you don't like my opinion, good! Let's talk about it, cause there's plenty of ways to do so, outside of lemmy.world. That's how it works, and people being mad is not going to change it. Kindness and logic will

    We all know the world's fucked up, we don't need another "saint" telling us they have the solution. We're all pretty freaking over any final solution that anyone has to offer
