I’m only still here because account deletion is broken on KBin.
Yeah but one of the reasons to pay for Tidal is the sound quality, and bluetooth sounds objectively worse than streaming directly on the car. Also, how am I supposed to maintain a wifi connection while moving? I’m not about to tether my phone every time I get in the car.
Just so you know, you can do Spotify and Tidal now with premium connectivity, too. Tidal is basically the only reason I have it, because the speakers are good enough for the sound quality difference to be noticeable. I agree with the rest of your points, though.
Huh, TIL you can put it back in the ground. I was under the impression it had to be burned off.
Natural gas is produced as a byproduct of gasoline production. He hasn’t done shit besides screw us out of access to a cleaner energy source we’re already producing.
What smells like copium in here?
YOU MEAN I HAVE TO PUT MY SHOES ON MY FEET MYSELF‽ UTTERLY UNUSABLE!
-Mr_Blott, probably
Yeah but at least our smugness isn’t based off 30-year-old information, unlike yours.
In my experience, YouTube is almost universally shit for anything to do with software. I’ve stopped bothering trying to find any software YouTubers and rely on blogs instead.
IIRC it was specifically Civics made after a certain year. I wanna say 1994? Subaru is super big on the concept, too, though. It’s actually where they got their name (“Subaru” apparently means “unity” in Japanese).
Yeah I never cared for him much before, but I also never cared about him much either. Now I actively despise him, which I guess is a form of successful marketing in that I’m still talking about him, but fuck it.
EDIT to add: I vaguely remember hearing that Civics were all compatible with the same parts regardless of model year, but I don’t know how true that is.
That’s a fair point, but I’ve already seen what one uninformed, idiotic YouTuber (LTT) is capable of achieving by closing his eyes, putting his fingers in his ears, stamping his feet, and whipping his equally uninformed followers into a frenzy over an issue that was almost entirely his own fault. I fully expect such events to continue as Linux gains popularity.
Unpopular opinion: I’m concerned that widespread adoption of Linux would mean a reduction in functionality for power users. Considering that the majority of “regular user” effort seems to be going into gaming, I’m doubly concerned that the first major group to embrace Linux would be Gamers, a demographic I think is capable of doing untold damage to the ecosystem at large.
I’d probably move to FreeBSD if things got to that point.
EDIT: by “Gamers” I don’t mean people who like video games, I mean the people who make video games their entire personality and assume they understand everything about a computer because they managed to install Steam without blowing away their entire OS.
BG3 runs more reliably on Linux for me, though my Windows install is getting old and crusty these days.
Both of your comments hurt in that way only the truth is capable of hurting.
Hey man, it happens. I could tell that you had some valid arguments in there, I was just trying to get you to express them. I definitely didn’t help by joining in the immaturity either.
Side note, I’m legit starting to hate my Tesla anyway, but I wasn’t about to admit that yesterday lol. There are absolutely a lot of valid criticisms of them, I just think the majority are overblown, especially as they relate to FSD. I’m in the beta and it’s basically the only reason I still have the damn thing.
Anyway, I’m sorry too. I probably should have just walked away when things got heated, but there was a part of me that was secretly hoping to see how long we’d keep going back and forth calling each other assholes because I thought it would be funny.
NGL, my first comment was partially meant to see if you actually had blocked me lol
You know what I bet we both agree on? Limited liability in general being a shit idea.
Yeah it really comes back to “fines are only for poor people.” Google can just count the fines as the cost of doing business while simultaneously leveraging their dominance to force other companies to break regulations in order to work with them.
See, I figure all of those things would be accounted for in whatever civil suit gets brought against the company. Frankly, I think that’s much more fair to companies both big and small because it involves a group of people working together to figure how much of a fine to levy in each individual instance, rather than having a blanket policy that may or may not account for edge cases. If the company is huge and the fuckup egregious, then the jury is (theoretically) going to throw the book at them.
At the very least, I’d want a jury in between the company and whichever government body is fining them, because regulatory bodies are prime targets for corporate shills to take over and it’s harder for that to run rampant if you have a bunch of regular jackoffs acting as gatekeepers.
There’s also the issue of ongoing compliance for small companies. Cybersecurity engineers are not cheap, and being all but required by law to employ one could (1) drive small companies out of business (180k a year may be cheap for Facebook, but it’s definitely not for Joe Buttsniffer and Sons Catering), and (2) cause market saturation so bad that the average salary makes nobody want to do the job anymore.
I mean wifi tethering. Sure, I could set up Tasker to turn it on once it detects that I’m in the car, but I’d personally rather save myself the effort.
