- Comment on Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs. 1 day ago:
I keep wondering about aptera. They are just getting their production ready model going and I can't help but think if they don't have production to far setup in california they would be smarter to do it in ireland. The carbon fiber body comes from europe and the batteries from asia. So evern if they build it in the us it will suffer tariffs for like 2/3rds of the cost or higher and it will effect everything sold everywhere. If they built it in ireland then it would be way cheaper everywhere but the us and the us cost would not be all that much higher than it would be if they built it here. I assume anything else with such a diverse supply chain would be effected similarly. Like boeing vs airbus.

- Comment on Why does Britain feel so poor? 4 days ago:
Its worldwide and it all comes down to wealth disparity. Just look at the disparity in even the top ten or 100 lists of wealthiest people and corporations. Musk is like double the person below him most of the time. That is why he can fuck things every which way and stay on top. The numbers are insane. Over a hundred people for people and market caps in trillions for corps while regular folks are trying to get by and thousandaires.

From my youth im used to some credits at the start. The big stars and such, but then the comprehensive list after. I have never known the comprehensive list to occur before the movie.

Thats just the two parts of enshitification. take away things you like and push things you don't. I still can't believe how bank sites can be so limited in what you can do but hey heres a useless feature we give so all good.

yup. thats essentially what I meant. email could be a book but sms was limited in size.

true but I think they had a point then. especially given the limits of the telegraph. thats like email and the original text message in some ways.

true. its dystopia because done in another way it could be utopia.

certainly, but just not as efficiently.

There is a noticable difference in electronic communication. Before the internet there were plenty of people that hated being on the phone instead of face to face. Something is lost with each loss of the physical experience. From in person to voice to text. Granted video calls actually are a bit of an improvment to a phone call as far as human connection goes.

as long as you don't count software as technology because it, especially algorithms, are often not neutral.

- Comment on Do animals think we're cute? 1 week ago:
Dolphins seem to be infatuated with us. I mean like the recent splashdown they did not come to the surface until humans started showing themselves out of the vehicles. My dog loves humans and pretty much all animals she meets but gets more excited the younger they are and just goes bananas when an adult is holding a child. Two for one.

he definitely cannot allow midterm elections happening. I really don't get how judges and congressmen, even if they are republican, cannot see whats in the cards for them on the current track.
- Comment on Over 9 million student loan borrowers past due after bills restarted, Fed estimates 1 week ago:
my guess it takes at least 30 more days to be past due but often 90 and 180 days becomes particularly significant. Alls I can find in the article is:
"By the end of the off-ramp period, the New York Fed estimates that the volume of past-due federal student loans hit 15.6%, with more than $250 billion in delinquent debt."
- Comment on What is happening with Tesla (TSLA) stock currently? 📈 2 weeks ago:
Since the end of febuary the whole market dropped such that it lost about six months of value and then stablelized and is going up keeping about the 6 month loss. This is why articles about modern dips crack me up as they are nothing compared to real one. The market is completely unhooked to any actual value. The crash in 2000 lost about 5 years of value and the 2008 one lost about 7 years. 2000 took two years to fall while 2008 took one. The great depression lost 19 years of profit and took about 3 years. If what we have not is like then we will know by end of year as it takes a series of drops while folks with the money to do so buy the fake bottom.

This is more a reason to protest to me. If I can lose my citizenship by excersising my rights I rather do it sooner than later.
