I agree that it’s probably a sensational article. No matter what the numbers actually are - it’s too early to draw a line to Trumps policy decisions.

It’s cherry picking, but I’ll point out the 15% increase in the cost of eggs due to Avian flu. I mean, if we blamed Biden for inflation over the last several years then we can place this at Trump’s door step surely?

In any case, I look forward to seeing the MAGA-splaining in the coming months.

Yeah.

There’s waaay worse things you can catch.

There’s a huge variety in condiments.

Mayo is egg, vinegar, and oil.

Fats (oil) are super complicated. Some are very bad for you like canola oil (but they’re also cheap) while some are very good for you like olive oil (EVOO) (but it’s very expensive).

Some Mayo varieties will have these three ingredients and an emulsifier to help it stay nice on the shelf.

Others will have heaps of sugar and bullshit flavours.

The difference in nutritional value is huge.

OP’s reply to this comment.

Yeah.

I mean I didn’t buy $15 in bitcoin 15 years ago (have never bought any, never will), and I’m not obsessed about it.

Is it really any different for this guy?

You’ve seen the headlines about telsa sales tanking right? In some markets by 50% or 60%. That’s a big deal.

First movers do enjoy a special privilege but I’m not sure how sticky that will be in this case. Musk’s political views are at odds with people that are environmentally conscious.

Those views are now indefeasible from the brand and this kind of “vandalism” (provided it doesn’t significantly damage the vehicle) is a great way to reinforce that connection.

OP is including writing “wash me” in the dust on the rear window in “vandalism”.

That doesn’t financially harm anyone and is obviously not the same as burning someone’s house down.

Vandalising a telsa directly harms musk financially.

As someone who’s out of the loop may I ask what the story is?

What I’m getting is that he’s a wealthy has been who has some unmedicated mental health problems which manifest in these spectacular public brain farts.

Is that all there is to it or is there some explanation for the antisemitism?

Yeah. You see it all the time around here. It’s usually some smart ass kid doing it to their mum’s car or whatever.

However, that’s still “vandalism” by your definition.

Just gonna be honest… you seem a bit uptight about this.

If you define “vandalism” to include “writing in dust” then yes, some types of “vandalism” are ok on any type of vehicle what so ever.

Sometimes people write “wash me” in the dust on someone’s window. Who cares.

That doesn’t mean that reprisals are a realistic possibility.

People manage all sorts of risks every day.

It’s not a question of whether some infinitesimal risk exists, it’s a question of whether removing names is an appropriate mitigation.

Obviously you think that it is, but I think most people value transparency and accountability. The elephant in the room here is that anonymity would hypothetically allow service members to act with impunity.

I’m sure you can see the risks in having service members escort detainees with no accountability for their actions.

It’s not “too hard”, it just completely unreasonable to expect people in general to self host as a way to “fight against tech billionaires”.

I can assure you that most people would find the amount of effort required to learn, implement, and maintain self hosted services to be unpractical.

I’m not really sure what you’re getting at?

I’ve been self hosting for many years. Including mission critical data for my consultancy.

It’s a great hobby and I’d encourage anyone who’s interested to get involved.

That said, for people looking for a way to “fight against tech billionaires”, migrating their google drive to a self hosted nextcloud instance from a cold start with no experience in self hosting is inadvisable.

Is this a realistic possibility?

Why would a cartel kick that hornets nest?

The top level comment says it’s not legal.

The comment you replied to is saying that’s not true, and that hyperbole doesn’t help.

Your comment says that legality is not morality.

Settle down, take a deep breath, and think about what you’re saying.

It may not be “hard”, yet it’s just not practically possible for most people.

I dislike it.

Pretty sure my instance blocks it.

I believe it’s counter productive and stifles engagement.

Not sure if this is really accessible for everyone.

It’s probably easy to underestimate how difficult setting up and managing services can be.

I don’t necessarily dislike “AI” but I reserve the right to be derisive about inappropriate use, which seems to be pretty much every use.

Using AI to find pertoglyphs in Peru was cool. Reviewing medical scans is pretty great. Everything else is shit.
