You think they don’t just charge more because they can, like every other industry lately?

Linux is more friendly. It requires a certain level of competence that Windows doesn’t, but if you’re above that level it’s generally better.

😂

Are you able to read, by chance?

…what? Might wanna reread your comment.

Why do so many Linux users not understand the meaning of user-friendly?

And it’s really bad lol…

They aren’t wiping videos.

That’s why I run all my terminal commands through ChatGPT to verify they aren’t some sort of fork bomb. My system is unusably slow, but it’s AI protected, futuristic, and super practical.

You’re right, fuck free speech!

If you spoke out against the regime, you could easily be imprisoned or executed, blonde hair and blue-eyes or not.

Okay, cool. I wasn’t saying you shouldn’t ever buy any batteries. I have an electric car in my driveway right now.

The whole point of what I initially said was to recognize that, although one is definitely worse than the other, there are environmental costs to both ICE vehicles and EV vehicles and to reduce our carbon emissions we should focus more on being less car dependent in general.

You’ve gone off about how you don’t care about other people or your downstream effects on them and I don’t really know why I’ve engaged with this pointless conversation.

You’re right, so we might as well exploit those less fortunate than us because they were unlucky enough to be born where they were born.

They can both be bad, even if one is less bad. I’m all for EV adoption. It’s better in the long run. However, less driving altogether would be more impactful.

Tell that to the child slaves mining resources for first world consumers. Unfortunately, the citizens of less developed countries’ opinions don’t matter if their government is corrupt.

I mean, I’m a nut for EVs, but they are correct. EVs are likely better in the long run, but producing them still produces a ton of greenhouse gasses and other environmental concerns. The best bet is to encourage people to drive less, build better infrastructure so fewer people have to buy cars, and focus on reduction of reliance on driving as a whole.

Hell, even for me, my whole plan was to drive my EV into the ground, using it as long as possible to offset it’s upfront environmental costs, but my battery failed after 38k miles. I got a lemon :(. Thankfully, it’s covered under warranty and they built me a new battery, but now my car has the battery environmental cost of two EVs so it’ll likely never be as efficient as if I’d just bought a damn Honda Civic. Admittedly, I’m a statistical outlier, but it still sucks :(

Half is column A, half is column B.

Wtf car are you buying for 14k? 14k Canadian no less. Did you last buy a car in 1993? Or are you talking about used cars, which isn’t what this conversation is about.

Are you not conflating top 10% of wealthy people with top 10% of wealth? Looking at these differently vastly changes the results, e.g.:

Of course, in the real world numbers are much more skewed and you have hundreds of millions in developing nations at the bottom making literal pennies a day, bringing the “top 10%” of wealth (not top 10% of wealthy people) to include some single mom making 45k in the US.

What is demand?

Christ, the number of people who don’t understand basic economics…
