Holy hell, thank you for posting that

I’ve never seen that one before. My sides hurt

And this is the no paywall link https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theatlantic.com%2Ftechnology%2Farchive%2F2025%2F03%2Felon-musk-human-meme-stock%2F682023

Your heart’s in the right place but this is bad advice.

Teslas are still wickedly expensive to repair and there’s only the dealership who can do those repairs.

And the parts break way too often, even parts that shouldn’t break ever, like the door handles that only Tesla can replace. The cost of that can apparently be over $1k. For a door handle.

It’d be a money pit after the warranty period runs out. You’re still going to be better off with a run of the mill beater car

Until Tesla allows other shops to do repairs, those swastikars will never be economical even if you ignore the Nazi part

Your point about buying used being better for the environment also applies to older gas powered cars too, which will be easier and cheaper to repair

I’m reluctant to actually invest this years IRA contributions and may have better returns just holding it in standby as the market ‘volatility’ continues

Despite the advice that time in the market beats timing the market, I have a feeling these extraordinary circumstances mean the opposite for the time being

Where have you been all my life?

This is exactly the tool I needed. Thank you so much!

Hardly ever to be honest, unless I’m looking back through my comment history to find a specific thing I’m looking up.

That’s not counting the proofreading/editing I do on longer comments before and immediately after submitting.

Old habits die hard from years of writing papers at school. My first draft at most anything reads bad and I’ve got habits to overuse punctuation or repeat words, so to not look like I’m insane I edit. Minor efforts go a long way in getting traction on comments too

Yeah I definitely read through and edited this after the first pass

Options are good generally speaking, but more google just sounds like a bad idea

Since mastodon can interact with us, does that mean bluesky can too?

I’m doing my small part.

Went from 100% lurker on Reddit to regularly active lemmy commenter

There’s also Wire

E2EE and can be used as desktop or phone app interchangeably. No phone number required for signup.

Family has been using this for years now

I have family very seriously investigating citizenship to another country via ancestry.

Not like the past election cycles where the losing side bellyaches about moving to Canada or whatever, they’re actually gathering birth certificates and planning a visit to the embassy

Naturally I should qualify for it too but that feels like a very nuclear action

Fuck yeah, vacation to Australia here i come!

I pay for kagi because it’s genuinely less frustrating to use than searxng, duckduckgo, bing, and whatever shit Google is up to these days.

They’re fine search engines but after years of using them I found they annoyed me sometimes; their limitations will surface if you use them long enough. In contrast, I haven’t ran into a kagi search results page yet that has annoyed me by not finding what I expected to see.

The problem is that Google was good for a long time and then that became the bar everything is measured against. None of the free ones I tried came as close to that Google-like search from the before times as this paid service does.

Poor target, they can’t win.

Get boycotted by chuds mad at rainbows, get boycotted by liberals for banning rainbows.

End up showing everyone they’re a Jerry

Would also be a significant cost savings for Apple since they won’t have to pay for the exorbitant development costs that I’m sure are factored into the price of American based ai.

Still don’t want ai anywhere near phones though. Way too much personal data at risk

No better way to get people who used to voluntarily give you money to give you more money than threatening them.

What’s the game plan if they did?

Trade restrictions?

China already proved those did fuck all to stop them from developing their own model.

Ducking knew this ai bubble would burst sooner or later, just glad we can finally get on with it now.

Thanks for the heads up, though this would be less of an issue if you have the email app on your phone or the tab pinned in Firefox.

The real issue is i gotta use another authentication app for my email now, have been using Bitwarden itself for 2fa codes for proton. Definitely can’t use proton pass to 2fa for my proton account.

I don’t even know. Gonna have to find another reputable authenticator app.

Guess I should also check if Bitwarden or proton support physical security keys. Would be pretty bomb proof since my keys are always in my pocket anyway.

Jojoba oil. I recommend getting it pure and not mixed with other ingredients.

I started using this for my face when I lived with very dry and cold winters. Liked it so much that it’s replaced moisturizers for me basically permanently despite moving away from those brutal winters. It’s amazing because it doesn’t clog pores and cause breakouts, and it absorbs into my beard and keeps things from being itchy.
