Welcome to the United States, where consumers built the internet infrastructure that monopolies profit from and fight tooth and nail to prevent communities from providing high speed internet to its residents. Capitalism at its most corrupt: privatize profits and socialize capital costs and losses.

Snarky answer: “yes, and when there’s another hurricane the insurance can just claim bankruptcy and pass the bailout costs to taxpayers.”

Your points are valid for all brands outside of Tesla, btw. Virtually no vampire drain now whereas a few years ago your statement was correct. And I can get from 20->80% in about 20 minutes. Really not an issue to supercharge with how common Tesla superchargers are. All of the advantages outweigh the mild disadvantage of having to charge at superchargers.

I drove 2 hybrids until I got an EV. Will never go back. Concerns about EVs melt away once you’ve driven one. Charging is less of a hassle than you think.

The fact that they would put this in a hybrid means there’s something limiting it (ie poor discharge power, overheats easily, etc).

iCloud private relay is highly underrated for privacy imo. You won’t hear a lot of agreement with me here, but it’s the best form of a privacy vpn. When you use a third party vpn you still have to trust the vpn company to respect your privacy whereas private relay, by definition, does not allow Apple or anyone else to scrape your data.

Did I stutter? Troll someone else with your shit opinion.

Your post is an opinion piece asshat. And I disagree. Go troll someone else.

Your claim to be leftist does not strengthen your opinions strength. I want an echo chamber of users with empathy. That by definition excludes all on the right. Why the fuck should I care about the opinion of a sociopath.

I am not convinced by your opinion piece.

60% of the US has empathy and 40% does not. I don’t give a shit about the opinion of those without because I already know what it is. Take your left/right paradigm bullshit away and talk about personality traits. I want an echo chamber of those with empathy. If you define that as “leftist” then yes.

According to you?

This bullshit is 100% written by corporate social media. Fuck that.

Go back to Reddit. I read through your post and you are a snowflake. I believe you’re looking for an echo chamber, which hopefully will not be found here.

Personally I’d like to thank Steve Huffman. Without him I would not have discovered Lemmy and I really like it here!

Wait, the white supremacists and Nazis that he caters to aren’t making up the ad revenue? Well I’ll be!

In the history of capitalism, the only way that a paid service has become successful over a free service has been to create greater value. GM software engineers vs Apple and Android software engineers? Everyone can see where this is going.

Some routers don’t like iCloud Private Relay as it is a privacy measure. I have gotten notifications from some wireless networks that internet access is not available via iCloud Private Relay. I tell those networks (that want to track my every move) to fuck themselves.

This is equivalent of trying to sell a modern TV without support for any smart apps. FOR AN EXTRA CHARGE. Pisses me off that taxpayers will once again have to bail out the failed shitshow that will be a GM backruptcy.
