Just like in 1920s-1930s Germany.

Slow down there Taylor Swift.

All the Americans I know in person believe tariffs will lower prices.

I’m sure he’ll find a way to justify it :) they always do.

I was told recently by an American that tariffs were a good thing if you just believed in them and Trump. He explained that for a $100 product, china pays $30 of the tariff so you only pay $70. What a discount!

Be like that dude and you’ll be happier.

Because performative pickups are lifestyle items in North America.

Brand new ICE cars have firmware updates that stop you from driving until they’re complete too.

And that’s why they will never be available in North America.

It’s not just boomers, every millennial I know in person has the app installed on their phone

I can tell you right now that something like a username and password is exceptionally difficult for most users. Many just have one password for every single application and if they need to use a different email or password, they will be stuck.

The vast overwhelming majority of users do not have password managers, do not know they exist, and will give up at the first sign of complexity. You’re too far into the weeds if you don’t conceptualize this.

The overall vast majority of everyone is completely tech illiterate. We can blame them for their lack of tech skills all we want but that won’t change anything. Jellyfin needs a better UX before it’s feasible to use over Plex when sharing libraries with other users.

Thank you for this. It’s beautiful.

Highly specialized people live in bubbles and assume that everyone else lives in their same bubble and so if someone else doesn’t understand, they aren’t worth communicating with.

I used to work at an auto garage and brakes are most common regular maintenance (outside of filters, and oil changes). Many people go through brakes as fast as tires. Sometimes quicker. Depends on how cheap their pads are, their driving style, and weight of their vehicles.

Tire rotations and suspension and other drivetrain repairs are not common for an EV the way oil changes and brakes are. Tires yes but that’s it. You can’t drive any vehicle without tires.

In my experience, all the Linux documentation I have read has been written for peers of Linux developers, who are familiar with technical terminology and several concepts and steps are left out and implied rather than explained.

It’s a way for developers to ensure that Linux never receives adoption past other developers. Literary equivalent of pulling the ladder up.

They don’t want you to pick an electric drivetrain. It would mean you no longer are a constant customer for oil changes, brake pads, and any other regular ICE maintenance. They want you on a gas car for life because you will always be a constant revenue stream.

They will request that you turn it on and submit it to border authorities.

Cayenne pepper forced in the mouth, lots of hitting, throwing shoes, lots of yelling.

Calling her out while moved out will still have consequence. My entire family thinks the same way or more extreme.
