Which kind of blows my mind. Coal miners should love EVs. There was a story in the news a few years ago about how nice it was for the miners to help someone in an EV, as if they should be mortal enemies.

Non-EV cars don’t run on coal, they run on gasoline. EVs on the other hand can run on coal, natural gas, solar, wind, you name it - and still are more energy efficient than cars burning gasoline. In a sane world, coal miners would be throwing their support behind electric vehicles. The utility companies seem to understand this, but seems like the support hasn’t made its way up the supply chain.

Damn that’s interesting. I like how they walked through step by step how they got the exploit to work. This is what actual real hacking is like, but much less glamorous than what you see in the movies.

I checked and was 1 year 11 months, so close enough for meme accuracy.

I feel like we should have a 2 year anniversary party for all the people that came over during the API fiasco.

Yeah it went by faster than expected

Trump promised to round up criminal immigrants. We always knew Republicans considered scientists and academics their enemies. I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that he’s declared them criminals.

When you put it that way, that’s fucking insane. $2 million in retirement plus having my house paid off has always been my retirement goal. Granted, by the time I reach that goal, inflation and the cost of living will probably make that not enough.

Still, to think this asshat makes that in less than 2 weeks is fucking ridiculous. Like why even work at that point? I realize “work” for a CEO is mostly golfing and expensive dinners, but still…

Because it’s weird as fuuuuuuuck.

Couldn’t help but be reminded of the Simpsons joke:

FoxNews: Not racist but, but #1 with racists.

If you’ve got serial killers using their last words to praise you, you might want to reevaluate everything you stand for.

As of Thursday, the company’s self-driving tech has completed over 1,200 miles without a human in the truck.

That’s not an impressive number. That’s like 2 days’ worth of driving.

Speculation is now mounting as to whether Vance might face manslaughter charges if lawyers can prove that sucking all hope from a room is technically a crime.

Lmao this has my rolling

I was just talking about that same comparison yesterday! There are some big business interests in keeping older industries going. Whether it’s oil and gas, meat, or whatever. It takes a ton of political pressure over time to make change, but the truly biggest driver is cost. Once the alternative becomes cheaper, it will snowball.

My experience with elderly relatives is that all caps is the only way they can read the screen.

This was his response. Very sane. Very calm. Not at all unhinged.

I… I didn’t know you could do that.

It depends on the version of Lemmy that your instance is running. My account is on sh.itjust.works which upgraded Lemmy versions a few months ago. Apparently it changed a parameter name that keeps track if a post has been read or not.

So on Sync, you can click on posts, but they never show as read. It’s super annoying, so I went back to Voyager.

I used to use RiF and loved Sync for Lemmy too. I just wish the developer would fix the bug for posts showing unread! It’s completely stopped me from using the app for something like 6 months now.

There are a few minor cultural differences to be aware of. But as long as you avoid saying anything negative about Star Trek or Linux, you should be just fine.

Someone just told me they’re trying to spin it as not being as incompetent as the Afghanistan pullout.

I swear to God, Republicans are incapable of going “my bad, that was my mistake.” Instead they just spin spin spin and attack attack attack.
