Tesla now sells the tri-motor Cybertruck for $100,000 and only has a range of 320 miles.

The dual-motor Cybertruck was supposed to cost $50,000 and have over 300 miles of range. In reality, it starts at $80,000 and has 325 miles of range.

So, the cheaper model with two motors (why even) has a larger range than the full price model with three motors™®?

LMAO.

No u

It’s just a meme. You’re the one with Christianity living rent free in your head if the first thing coming to mind when looking at this is “don’t glorify this ebul religion” and not “lol”.

Gotta use less popular locations close to what you need. As a german I have mostly been using Finland and other smaller eastern European countries, those generally work just fine. Germany itself barely ever.

Unironically the mindset of guys like cm002.

Nooo we can’t do that because I don’t 100% align with the beliefs of lemmys devs so I’d rather see the project go broke

Not religious myself, but the essence of faith is that you don’t need scientific evidence but take it “on faith”. You trust that your beliefs, or something close to it, are the truth that will be revealed when your material life ends (and if you were devout, you usually get eternal bliss and happiness as a reward).

Fair point, but assuming they manage to get orbital weapons up there, is any government willing to drone strike some replaceable executives if the threat of a nuke looms overhead? Even if they can’t hit terrestrial targets for now, shooting down rivaling satellites and other comms infrastructure (or even shuttles?) seems a pretty powerful deterrent to most developed countries because they are so dependent on it.

Well I guess it comes down to probability. How often does the average social media user delete their uploaded pictures because their phone storage is full? Or why would they delete those if they just got a new phone? If they are degoogling, why would they delete content on Facebook? (I know this one is pedantic, sorry). Also, transforming? What

Point being, chances a 14 year old insecure girl will delete pictures of her face off Facebook are like a hundred times more likely because she thinks she looks bad in them than for any of your odd reasons.

I’m thinking mid to long term here. International waters are nice and all, but not really an ungoverned space. If these people have true megacorp ambitions, as in, toppling governments; establishing corporate ruled fiefdoms, commanding private militaries etc. A ship at sea is just another target for the enemy.

Seems more sensible to use this current period of virtually exclusively private space travel to ensure space becomes a privately and not government controlled domain by deploying their tech first and fast, before legislation can catch up.

What are the governments gonna do if google quickly brings a reactor powered data silo into space, and then some defensive satellites? Slap some ICBMs on there or maybe a railgun. Before states and nations are even able to act as a sovereign in space, those corpos will have claimed it already.

Pretty sure what makes this attractive is the extraterritoriality. The first step to sovereign corporations, free from any pesky government rules and regulations

Welcome to lemmy. To help you get settled, the comment you are replying to is from the admin of a/the dedicated trans instance. And a “little” combative about it.

Why are you skipping over the alternative venues of revenue I suggested that wouldn’t be as problematic? Because without you couldn’t paint me as irrational, asking the poor corpo to not make more money than last quarter at their customers expense 😔

They can pay their employees just fine. They do this because the investors want their returns.

First of all, I don’t have a horse in this race. My media is stored locally and used only by my household. I really don’t give a shit if a corporation needs more revenue to satisfy their infinite growthTM.

My issue is with how they are doing it. Provide an extra service or function, introduce a higher tier with priority treatment or so. Thats fine with me.

What’s not fine is taking something away people used to get for free, because the shitty venture capital business model isn’t feasible and only provided these things to capture the market, and now comes the nickel and diming part of providing ever fewer services and functions for ever increasing amounts of money.

As for jellyfin, thats open source AFAIK. So why even mention that here as some sort of gotcha? If it enshittifies people will fork it and move on.

I’m just curious, why are you so vehemently defending a shitty move by a corporation? No matter how you tackle the issue, taking away a function that used to be free and evidently has no costs associated to the corp is a textbook example of enshittification.

It is pretty damn obvious how this will continue.

From the Führer perspective it makes perfect sense.

What do you do when you are a totalitarian ruler afraid of ambitious upstarts? You give them administrative responsibility, and then subtly pit them against each other, making them tear each other down while competing for your favor. And if push comes to shove you use the conflicting jurisdictions to accuse whoever comes out on top of abuse of power.

There was even a time when AMA guests would just do the AMA for fun, or to get in touch with their fans. Not just when they are starring in a new movie or show / have “written” a book or some other financial motivation looming overhead.

I mean, can you really put a patent on the idea of an astronaut suit for space soldiers? That seems way too generic.

Great for the joke, but this looks 3d printed. I don’t even touch acrylic bongs, I would not smoke through heat receptive plastic.

That’s actually far less than I expected.

I’d personally go with the meaning of the word native. Meaning natural to you; from the environment you were born into, the culture you were born into, the language your parents and family speak. So probably Cantonese. But that doesn’t mean it has to be your primary language or even something you are good at now that you have moved into a different culture and language.
