You claim hexbears are brigading, and yet here you are adding nothing to the discussion and spamming. This is both ironic and in extremely bad faith.

So the one instance was removed by Hexbear moderators. I love the lemm.ee user's reaction of "whoah you're apologizing for coming across wrong? we should DEFINITELY defederate"

They are extremely mad that car people don't like Teslas, and they post angrily about it on Reddit every hour of every day. Fortunately, Tesla people aren't "car people" so there's really no real life friction other than Tesla dorks probably showing up to cars and coffee all over the nation and feeling personally offended when nobody gives half a shit about their commuter coffin.

I just want to second your comment - I agree with everything. I would also add that I read through the OP and was at first heartened by what seemed like a fairly reasonable, even-handed approach, then surprised and disappointed by the progression into reactionary anti-Soviet tropes. Calling anything posted to Hexbear "bigoted" is truly staggering - I challenge anyone to find a space on the internet that is less bigoted than Hexbear. It has shaped and improved me personally through my interaction over its existence. I am a better, less bigoted person today because of Hexbear.

that killer app is soon going to be "doesn't have advertising in every menu"

Dang you managed to be right on one thing, congrats

Then why did they discontinue it if it wasn't a stupid idea? Oh well.

I just want to go into the thing itself a little bit here... What vehicles do we see "yoke" style steering wheels on? Racing cars and karts. Why do we see yokes on those vehicles specifically? Extremely fast steering racks that will go lock-to-lock in a half or quarter turn, coupled with cockpits that either do not allow enough arm movement due to restraints or space to have more wheel movement. Are Teslas cramped inside with arm restraints because they're open-top racecars? Do they have racing racks that go lock to lock in a quarter turn? Are Teslas driven like a racecar, where both hands will always be on the wheel unless you're banging through gears? No.

It's a child's view of the world that spawned the idea of putting yokes in Teslas, because the child (Musk) saw racecars and was too ignorant to understand why they had yokes. Techbros and their consequences, etc.

r/cars and other car "enthusiast" subs have been pretty anti-Tesla for quite some time, because Teslas aren't really anything approaching a "driver's car". They go fast in a straight line but have terrible feedback and handling.

Cosmetic build quality issues aside, they require practically zero maintenance (tires and windshield fluid) and there are less moving parts to break. So far they've proven to be very reliable.

This applies to all electric cars, this isn't exclusive to Tesla. And other electric cars don't have panel gaps.

Driver feedback is subjective and I find your claim straight-up obtuse in meaning. I quite enjoy windy roads and the smoothness of the EV drivetrain.

The Tesla drives like an appliance, particularly in comparison to what are often considered "driver's cars". Nothing wrong with it, but don't expect car enthusiasts to like it.

The UX of my Tesla is practically-perfectly responsive and most of what you want to do has either physical or voice controls.

most

voice controls

Physical buttons are superior, and have been for decades. Voice controls and touchscreens are decisions made on a budget basis, not a UX basis, because they are objectively worse. It's corner-cutting, not improvement.

Autopilot is good bordering great but still needs work. FSD is indeed a pipe dream with the current fleet.

Are you calling Musk a liar?!? FSD has been coming "next year" for like six years now!!!

I'm sorry, there's no positive here on the yoke thing. Literally anybody who isn't a 14 year old who has never driven a car before should understand a yoke is a shitty, stupid thing to replace a wheel with. That mistake didn't require putting the shit on the market and then going "oh wow I guess this much worse thing isn't better after all, huh". Like, seriously, the dumbest motherfuckers must have been involved in that decision from start to finish.

The nice thing about Linux is you can pick a DE that apes whatever OS you're used to so the transition from Windows or Mac to desktop Linux can be very painless.

My mom is in her 70s, never has been techy, and has been using Linux as her daily driver for a solid eight years now. I have to do less troubleshooting for her now that she's on Linux than I ever did when she used Windows. "You have to use the command line" is an extremely outdated criticism of desktop Linux.

You know they teach about it in China, right? You're so far up your own ass you're just telling stories about stories you've been told and none of them have anything to do with reality.

you get that "tankie" and "communist" as a pejorative are functionally identical, right? Coincidentally, they're also basically the same as "woke" as far as pejoratives go.

goddamn i hate it when liberals think they're communists

just insisting that you're right doesn't actually work
