WHO IS GOING TO SELL THEM THEN?

From what you keep repeating over and over in this thread, it seeks like you think the German state should seize Tesla's assets and sell them off.

That is an absolutely ridiculously unrealistic idea. But hey, let's say you start campaigning for it TODAY. You start convincing all the "low average intelligence" people in order to get a sufficient portion of the population on board to sway politicians to seize Tesla.

(Note that this is not 50%; for example, legalizing abortions has had far wider support in the German population for a long time, yet it's not happened so far.)

So let's be really, REALLY optimistic and say, in 10 years you will be able to get a government voted in which enacts the seizure of Tesla assets, agaojat all corporate-backed influences and interests. And somehow change the Grundgesetz so Tesla can not spend years moving up the courts to prevent this.

Do you see how this does nothing TODAY? I'm all for the systemic change; go vote and campaign in that direction, but here, in this comment section you are not offering a realistic or timely solution. Should nothing he done until your "perfect" solution becomes workable?

Hard to put my lips finger on the reason, though

Now judge it by how good the end result looks

But also.... The fuck?

Do you then also proceed to install the client 20 times? Or do you constantly log in and out? Sounds like a hassle that federation would solve!

Take a look at Kavita for selfhosting bools!

Kagi lenses "focus" the search. So normal web search definitely can contain fediverse results, but with the lens switched on, you ONLY get fediverse results.

Named mine after "objects" from Iain M. Banks' Culture Novels.

Currently I have:

• gsv
• hub
• excession
• drone

Nice and short, and map roughly to the "power level" of the hardware, so to speak.

And my Yubikeys are named after Special Circumstances agents 😄

Damn you sound envious

I'm sorry, but have you never had actual Cheddar?

If you are at all familiar with / interested in NixOS, there's Jovian-NixOS which essentially duplicates the SteamOS experience 1:1 (much more closely than, say, Bazzite imo), but allows you to easily switch to a different desktop environment like Gnome with just a single config option.

You can also selfhost sync!

You can also just selfhost Firefox sync!

Lol

If an employer wants to see your IQ, you probably do not want to work there regardless.

Verified by whom?

Is it? If it wasn't printed on the bottom, would you really be able to guess Ctrl+X, Y, Enter any easier than colon, q, Enter?

No

Nano is easier to get into, but far more limited.

I’m sorry but how is anyone this dense?

Yeah... asking myself the same question here.

The position of the German state on EU topics has not changed significantly through this election. The Ampel-Coalition, CDU, and SPD each have roughly the same position on Ukraine. The fact that Germany will most likely have a 2-party coalition going forward does not change ANYTHING in the European Parliament. Those elections took place in June 2024, and will not be held again until 2029.

That's like saying "Oh, Oregon just had elections for their state government and the makeup of dems vs reps slightly shifted; this is huge for US foreign policy!"

Sure, it can be a mood indicator, but as stated above, the actual positions are more or less the same, and the German state being a bit more swift to act thanks to a 2-party coalition is irrelevant for the day-to-day business and direction of the EU, which is governed by supra-national institutions unaffected by Germany's elections.

Plus, you’re so, so, so wrong about nothing changing in Europe. To not understand the power a two party coalition has versus a three party coalition is like intentionally burying your head in the sand.

The makeup and coalitions in the parliament of the European Union are completely unaffected by the German election.
