  • I don’t know about abuse but I do judge people with Teslas purchased in the last 5 years. Before that the completion was lacking and it was less evident to most people that the CEO is a cunt, but now even if you ignore Elon, it’s just a crazy purchase when all the other manufacturers have caught up in electric and arguably produce better vehicles with less issues.

  • Thanks for coming back to reply. First I want to say that the downvotes you’ve received have been unnecessary imo and I think I should have added that my original comment was in my experience and purely anecdotal.

    I guess it all depends on the person and whether they see constructive criticism as… well constructive or whether they see it as a slight against them. Like in any industry really.

  • As a software developer making enterprise software, that simply isn’t true.

    I have been responsible for making some pretty poor design choices and UX flows. I was never resistant to change and more just needed someone to say hey bro that’s dumb, I don’t why don’t we do it like this.

    Now I know how to do X and won’t make the same mistakes again.

  • That sounds wild. I imagine it varies by state and some will be easier than others.

    In the UK you have a lot of lessons and practice getting used to driving the car and navigating traffic, as well as perform some manoeuvres; for instance a parallel park and bay parking. We practice the emergency stop, hill starts, and roundabouts and more.

    Then you have the theory test where they ask questions about signs and road rules etc. many are common sense but people fail a lot.

    Then you have hazard perception where you watch videos and click the hazards before they become a danger. This is harder as you have to click at the right points.

    All in all it’s rather difficult to get driving and I am all for it as it means people on the roads can generally drive.

  • Not that I’m against this idea, I just don’t think we can appreciate how difficult and time consuming it would be to not give them any money. Like you would be spending so much time researching products and even then you can’t be sure that somewhere in the supply chain isn’t American.

  • Yeah it’s just a non-starter for me. I already have to silence several calls a day as telecoms providers, UK at least, allow people to spoof their numbers. Like I want to give it to another company that’ll either sell it get breached and ends up out there anyway.

    I don’t see this going away so might need to buy a burner phone just for receiving codes in the near future but it won’t be linked to me and it will not receive calls.

  • Do you realise that we are the overwhelming minority here hanging out on lemmy?

    Cause everyone of us could never use proprietary stuff again and the companies wouldn’t even notice.

    The vast majority of people just want something that is convenient and where there friends are.

    What consoles even exist that would be a viable replacement to an Xbox or PlayStation as I can’t think of one.

    This doesn’t apply to me, I’m a PC gamer who plays two games: Minecraft and Factorio. But I’m not disillusioned into thinking that what I see on lemmy is indicative of society as a whole. I’m also quite confident that you would be using things that other people on here might call you out for.

    Finally, read the room dude clearly you don’t have the votes here that people agree with you.

    Edit: On further reflection I don’t see a reason for your original comment other than to act superior than the other person. Because if you truly cared about their choice you might have offered some example others. Imagine the person didn’t know about why you might be against proprietary hardware, so you imagine your comment gets them on side or alienates them.

    You do get to be the second person on here who I tagged as Asshole with the nice badges in Voyager. So congrats.

  • Not necessarily.

    Roundabouts are used in area of moderate to high traffic where multiple roads meet and places where continuous flow is needed. Like motorway junctions. The junction near me is very high traffic, and we use a roundabout with traffic lights too. They can be less effective if the flow of traffic is heavy in one direction but not the other.

    Traffic lights are used in busy urban areas where there are a lot of pedestrians or places with uneven traffic distribution. These can cause issues of slowing traffic in quieter times due to lights not really being smart and knowing when people are there.
