lol, they will be tariffed out of the USA market, so they will focus on other markets.

Yes, it’s a famous quote from 1984, the book. The government keeps changing what they consider the facts to be. It should be required reading.

Lol, none of this is a surprise or new. Leopards and face eating was planned and expected. The majority of the US voted or abstained for him. This is the outcome. This is what they implicitly wanted. If what they voted for is different to what they thought, they haven’t been duped. The information was available. They have been wantonly ignorant. That’s not to say we should blame voters. That’s to say, hopefully people become more informed and accept that when Republicans allow the deplorable a to take over, this is what happens. When democrats try to take the high ground but don’t prosecute insurrection and treason and fix the supreme court, this is what happens.

History teaches us these patterns. It is why they are trying so hard to erase and rewrite history.

Lol, my answers increased in length based on your responses. My initial response was a single sentence. I’m glad other people are enjoying it. It seems to have led to some really interesting discussion.

Umm, the bird. It’s in the fucking title. It’s old though, so it uses derogatoryangage for women. Now it would be called woman of colour.

I have twice showed you that my definition is meaningless, as is a dictionary definition. There is none so blind as cannot see.

If you think the safety rating of a niche car qualifies as technology news, you’re in for an exciting time looking at history books.

As I mentioned, technology can mean any development. So I didn’t define it, so much as point out that a strict reading of the word is different to what people expect posts about.

Forks and knives are also a technology, but are not relevant here. If you don’t get the nuance, or disagree, that’s fine.

If you and others think it’s relevant, enjoy, but I’m pointing out that for others, myself included, this is spam and more appropriately posted to other communities including but not limited to Elevtic vehicles communities (about 20 exist) Enoughmuskspam Cars communities (about 20 communities)

Certainly not automobile safety. This has nothing to do with technology, as in development, but is tangentially relevant being that Tesla positions itself as a technology company.

I don’t see any posts here about all the other ev car companies. Technology can be technically be any progress or development, but I also don’t expect to see tech posts about gradual iterations or improvements in the touchscreen operation of a lawnmower.

People come here to find out about new tech and the development of it. This is musk spam.

Is this really technology news?

Except everyone of course.

Hard and fascist.

Ok, we’ll let’s keep the plane analogy. If they could run on 50% less fuel, would you invest in airline fuel companies, thinking they will be having bumper sales figures?

Yes, but if they already have lots of planes, they don’t need to keep buying more planes. Especially if their current planes can now run for longer.

AI is not going away but it will require less computing power and less capital investment. Not entirely unexpected as a trend, but this was a rapid jump that will catch some off guard. So capital will be reallocated.

Yes, there are, but minimal physical assets. That’s the point. They likely aren’t even enough to pay employees.

I think you’re missing the point. There are no physical assets. There is users and engagement. That can be used to push a narrative or to sell advertising. As users leave, neither works and there is nothing to sell.

Then you shouldn’t use the term blindly following orders. Willfully following orders is more appropriate.

I think it’s a valid point that the concern being raised about tik tok is just as valid with other apps, both from Facebook or Twitter etc and from overseas apps. People are happily giving up their data and don’t see a distinction in how it is being used for disinformation by different state actors. It’s all misinformation.

People are apathetic to the risk, but also don’t see the risk for foreign government snooping as significantly higher than internal snooping.

Even many regional message boards or forums we’re very active. Boards.ie in Ireland was the nerds internet forum. A fediverse before there was one. It was the go to for info about anything tech related or internet culture. Whirlpool in Australia is still the go to for info about internet and broadband, and is still active, if much reduced.

Oh, it’s called X-Men: days of future past.

Or, do the right thing and prosecute him, even if it’s bad for them politically.

Now it’s terrible for them politically and terrible for the country and the world.
