Agree, it's fucking shit.

Spoiler: Off topic Cybertruck/ batteries

Some thing's it has going for it would be
- it's going to have a stainless steel body, so you might not have to worry about rust so much if you live in a frozen salt hole, (im tired of getting rust treatments).
Most cars for me have the body rust out even though the engine and stuff is still good, it would be nice never having to touch up the stone chips because it has no paint.
- the zoomers I talk to really like the look
- potential solar panel roof, to trickle charge off grid

Some things I don't like
-Doesn't have a normal steering wheel, has a "yoke"
-them trying to eliminate side mirrors in favor of cameras

They are building some new battery production plants, so it will be interesting to see what longevity you get from them. With a truck you can get a bigger pack, and with bigger battery packs the wear on the cells is spread out better, and it makes it last even longer. They have worked hard to manufacture batteries like glass bottles, where the manufacturing line never stops. Apparently with the older style cells they had to pause the production to solder bits in the ends of the cell, but with this new method they don't have to do that. The missing tabs also lets the cells get rid of heat faster, according to Tesla. The new batteries will keep Tesla ahead of the pack in terms of battery technology.

Speak for yourself. Personally, I want to see us reach other planets and far away stars. Kind of pointless to just cease to be without trying to reach for more, there's lots out there to figure out still. Besides, I want my kids to be able to appreciate Lolcows from Mars/Moon.

Maybe. I'd like to see us improve a bit before infesting and destroying better places. I hope the first planets we encounter are uninhabited for that very reason.

People probably said the same thing about Tesla well before Elon developed his massive cult of personality. Yeah it would be a niche expensive as fuck phone, but he doesn't have to reinvent the wheel. Plus it will have some gimmick that will make people want it more like his cars. Even if it eventually peters out it's still worth it to let people know they don't have to support these retarded Monopolies who want to comb through all the information on your phone like a fucking Peeping Tom.

Not the same thing. All a car needs to do is run. What will kill any alternative smartphone/OS is app support, because nobody is going to make shit for your niche ecosystem, and without app support you might as well just get a feature phone anyways. This is what killed Windows Phone, and this is what’s going to kill whatever plans Elon has.

No, they won't leave Europe. They'll just buy better commissioners than that lisping faggot Thierry Breton.

Cheaper than paying fines, I guess. But these proxies tend to get a bit big for their britches after awhile and start acting above their station, leading back to fines again.

I understand the sentiment that Europe is still "worth it" despite these worsening problems, but that won't last indefinitely. The EU enthusiastically supports imprisoning its subjects for wrongthink, ignores member states' sovereignty whenever convenient, publicly demands companies delete user data under many circumstances (while undoubtedly privately demanding full access to surveillance-level data, including stuff that they publicly demand deletion of), issues multi-billion dollar fines, continuously interferes with business operations and decision-making, and they're getting much worse.

The entire continent is in worse financial shape than the United States and it's collectively pouring what's left of its limited resources into a retarded pissing match between two Slavic nations who spell and pronounce "Kevin" different ways, all while a (self-inflicted) massive natural gas shortage is poised to cause potentially hundreds of thousands of deaths this winter. They're broke, willing to let their own people die just to "stick it" to Boris, willing to lock up anyone who dares speak up about it or says anything that offends an ever-increasing variety of thin-skinned pussies and inexplicably itching for the Slavic slap fight to grow into a bigger regional or even international conflict.

What actual value is left for American companies like Apple and Google to extract from Europe at this point? Credit is tightening up globally (and might even be close to freezing entirely) because of rising interest rates, personal savings is at all-time lows, and wages are stagnant throughout the civilized world even as costs soar. Apple sells expensive hardware, but soon their target market in Europe will be far too broke to afford it (and won't be able to borrow to get it either). Google's product harvest (i.e. users) from European countries is losing value every day as the EU's subjects learn not to talk about very much or express enthusiasm for things because they could end up in jail over it. What's left for Google to sell from that supply of user data? Which Marvel capeshit a given region prefers?

Meh. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm sticking to my prediction that Musk will eventually just close up shop in Europe, tell the EU to fuck off, and walk away from it entirely. I'll even take the long shot and predict he'll geo-block the EU from even seeing Twitter briefly just for the lulz before just having it serve up a 451 page to all European net ranges. You have to admit that'd be pretty fucking funny.

A LineageOS co-founder is throwing a tantrum over suggestions that Elon base an Android fork on LineageOS. He's donating to pro-abortion organizations as slight to his dastardly fascist internet enemies.

Well that's why you get your Epsteins to get video of them diddling kids. Duuuuuh.

29. Rebel forces use Twitter to organize overthrowing the government in a country Musk really likes:

They tried that on Nigeria and the based Nigerians told them to fuck off and block twitter they released a statement saying they were trying to "Help" to combat disinformation and was told that they never asked for it

is it too much to ask for at least ONE alt-tech dev (or anyone associated with alt tech) to not act like a giant faggot?

Did a bit more testing on Elon's Twitter this week, since it's amnesty time and it's irrelevant.
I have some rather interesting info.
6 new accounts. Posted the same harsh mockery of various RW and LW "personalities". Included were 2 slurs, fag and sperg.
3 accounts that called some bigger leftoids spergy fags are all alive and without warnings and suspensions.
3 accounts that called some bigger rightoids spergy fags are all permanently suspended (without temp suspension). Hateful conduct, all.
Now this is not conclusive, as these rightoids might have been more inclined to call mommy jannie to rescue them from evil bully.
Yet it does strike me as weird, hence I tried to replicate it a number of times after which I got bored with solving captchas for Twitter acct creation.
Not particularly happy, now I understand I come as quite right wing, but the reality is that I wanna bully right wingers too, not just tenderqueers. What's the purpose of such a large social media platform without the hostility and conflict?
Gotta be able to weed off the weak and fragile, yes?
Edit:
lmao these nerds are so afraid of the OG Internet
Was such a HUUUUUGE mistake to allow maladapted boomers online, IN OUR SPACE.

What's with the hostility?
Did your anime waifu pillow reject your advances?
May I suggest Valium for your troubles?

Dude, chill. The tism needs a rest, maybe you should let it ripen into something better.

bear in mind just how often musk over-promises and under-delivers. he said he would have a man on mars in ten years, and that was in 2012.

Musk is the ideas man's ideas man. There's more chance of the Cybertruck being released some time this decade than there is of Musk ever making a smartphone.

While #RIPTwitter was trending on November 18, Mosquito Capital, a *SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience*, stayed up until 4AM writing a thread containing a numbered list of 56 threats to the integrity of Twitter that might endanger it now that it only has 1000 employees.
(link to thread) (archive)

Some of the risks he foresees include:

(Click the images next to the list entries to enlarge them. Or just squint really hard.)
14. The site is unable to take down child porn: View attachment 3938478
27. Musk forgets to hire security and a crazy person stabs him: View attachment 3928803
28. Musk is put on trial at the Hague after Congolese militias use Twitter to coordinate genocide: View attachment 3928809
29. Rebel forces use Twitter to organize overthrowing the government in a country Musk really likes: View attachment 3932622
33. Agents of the Chinese Communist Party hack into the mainframe: View attachment 3928821
34. Someone hacks Biden's account and threatens to nuke Russia: View attachment 3928197
36. Someone takes down the company by doing "1960s spy movie shit": View attachment 3928194
37. The jannies can't take it anymore and kill themselves: View attachment 3928185
40. A jannie snaps and shoots up the office: View attachment 3928176

You may remember that some of these already happened before Musk bought the company. Twitter already let the Taliban use the site, Biden's account was already hacked once in July 2020 (although that was before he became president), and Twitter was already sued in 2021 for neglecting to remove child porn.

This is basically deranged fanfiction. Might as well have added ninjas assassinating him or aliens invading and blowing him up.

"Trump doesn't matter if people don't pay attention to him"
He then proceeds to make half his posts about Trump, and completely ignore he still has 90 million followers and his own social media.

I do feel like this guy is a bot if I'm being wholly honest, maybe it's just me but the way he speaks comes off as hollow, soulless and meaningless, but no, everything he says indicates he is, unfortunately, a real and incredibly miserable person. He's like NAFO in the fact he genuinely thinks he's gonna save the world by arguing on Twitter and "owning the Cons and ebil Libruls and Rusuns", when he's just a depressed addict.

That being said, when I get my account back I think I'll make a point to avoid using it as much as I did when I had the account, the site is overly addictive and unhealthy, I don't care whether Singh(?) or Musk is owning it.

you don't have to sit dedicated 24/7 on twitter to shitpost.
it's the same back in 2016 with ALL TRUMP DOES IS WATCH TWITTER AND PLAY GOLF. shitposting is so easy it really doesn't take much effort - just look at 4chan.

Screw the EU, but at least for the next dozen years, unless China opens up or India becomes suddenly wealthy, Brussels' Europe is probably gonna be tech's second biggest market after the US. Even if we take the current European economic decline into account.

Thierry Breton and his cuck buddies also get a hard on thinking that in a hypothetical world with Apple, Google, Microsoft or Meta out of the way, the resulting void would be filled up with companies that would be ridiculously small, fragmented (and what's most important for them) easy to push around.
