hope all you windows fans are …happy… asking apple microsoft for permission to use your own hardware.
It’s been this way for decades, really. Apple, Google, MS, etc. Even if they let you use it without an account, they’ll literally never stop pressuring you and annoying you into signing into an account.
“the future of social media” reminds me of “the year of the Linux desktop”. Like, what does that mean to you?
The most obvious explanation is that you think it will overtake corporate social media entirely. Or even exist anywhere on the same level. But that seems unrealistic.
Tesla board member and close Musk confidant Antonio Gracias once took Musk’s phone away to prevent him from tweeting late into the night, Isaacson said during a Twitter Spaces event on Wednesday.
“At one point when Elon was firing off tweets without filtering them in the least, they were on a trip and Antonio took his iPhone — Elon’s iPhone — and locked it in the hotel safe with Antonio punching in the code so that Elon couldn’t get up at 3 a.m. and start tweeting again,” Isaacson said, describing Gracias as “one of Elon’s closest friends.”
Musk later got hotel security to open the safe at around 3 a.m. so he could start tweeting again, Isaacson said.
The biographer added that Musk is “almost addicted to the drama that comes with Twitter” and sees owning Twitter as a way he can be “king of the playground.”
“It’s something he loves — loves almost to the point of compulsion,” Isaacson said, adding that some of his friends, including his brother Kimbal Musk, attempted to convince him not to buy Twitter.
Your statement is based on the premise that people will refuse to buy based on the PSN requirement. Decades of shitfuckery in the gaming industry indicate otherwise.
Those are delays for Tesla Superchargers, not delays in choosing a national standard. That’s already done. We haven’t fucked up anything. NACS is just a connector…
That particular infrastructure is private. EV infrastructure is not private. There’s nothing stopping any other private or public entity from expanding that infrastructure using the common open standard that has been adopted. Nothing of value has been sacrificed. Progress has merely been delayed.
I currently have a low end Windows gaming laptop that I was planning to upgrade to Linux before Win10 goes end of life, but my HDMI port stopped working, so now I’m debating buying a new Linux laptop instead. Can anyone provide any recommendations?...
I’m gonna recommend Framework to everyone because not only are they built with Linux in mind, but they’re also built with repairability/upgradability in mind. Unfortunately I don’t believe these come pre-loaded with Linux, but honestly, if you’re comfortable using Linux, installing it will be the easiest part.
I know this is shameless marketing, but as someone that was born in the eighties, I used to see the VW vans everywhere and that a new generation will get to enjoy that, but without the same environmental impact, makes me a little happy, so I’m sharing in my joy.
