This has nothing to do with capitalism. And my source explains how infinite growth is possible. Consuming the resources of a finite system is not the only factor that goes into economic growth.
I don't think there is any hand waving. Consuming a resource is not the only factor that goes into economic growth. Can you address that point specifically?
This sounds true on its face, but if you had read my source, you would see how that argument is refuted. The problem is that you are assuming the resources of the system must be used up for growth, but that is not true.
I'm a Windows guy, but I just replaced my Surface Laptop with an M2 Air and love it. PC hardware is really stagnating right now. I still have my usual annoyances with macOS, but right now, I feel like they are worth living with for the performance and battery life.
Other car companies aren’t hyping up their cars as the greatest thing since sliced bread and sending out half baked, unreliable features.
You joking? Not to defend Tesla for overhyping their products, but there is a long history of car companies doing exactly this.
For other car manufacturers a recall is mundane, there’s been thousands recalls for decades before, there’ll be plenty mote recalls for as long as we drive cars.
No defense for FSD; that's a fair criticism. Autopilot is commonly cited as one of the better parts of Tesla vehicles though -- often better than similar offerings from competing companies.
Elon is an asshat, but Tesla, as a car company, I wouldn't call rubbish. Their cars have pros and cons, like any other, and one must admit that they have done quite a lot to move the industry towards electrification.
The website analyzed recall campaign data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration from the last 10 model years and used that data to calculate the number of projected recalls over an expected 30-year lifespan of the cars. Does that mean it considers OTAs (Over The Air updates) as recalls? It does if NHTSA calls it a recall.
Seems highly speculative. But in any case, I'd be more than happy to admit that Tesla models end up getting more recalls than the industry average, if true. My point about Tesla recall sensationalism still stands though!
This feels like the correct take to me. I still view the occasional Reddit post but only as an absolute last resort for information I can't find anywhere else. Even though I don't post, comment, or vote, I'm still aware that my mere presence there is helping them in some form.
It's similar to the recent Harry Potter game. Lots of people decided that it's far enough removed from Rowling to be okay to buy even if they were pro-trans. But everyone who bought it DID give some of their money to Rowling. It's your decision to weigh the cost/benefit of such a thing, but it was a little shocking to see how many supposedly pro-trans people straight up deluded themselves into thinking they weren't directly supporting Rowling and her anti-trans views.
So yeah, use Reddit still if you must; I certainly understand how much important/useful content and information lives exclusively there, and the overzealous Reddit boycotters may be missing this (or just don't care). But don't pretend like using it isn't also supporting them.
Seems that you're the one doing the hand waving.
