- Comment on Tesla profit tanked 46% in 2025 | TechCrunch 6 hours ago:
My wife and I have BYD vehicles. My first EV was a Model 3. BYD is decades ahead of Tesla as cars go. We’ve had themfor 3 years, and have nothing bad to say about them. We’ll, that’s not entirely true, the original floor mats are shit, pretty, but shit.

Fucking stocks are like gambling. There’s no rhyme or reason to them.
- Comment on TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover 7 hours ago:
And me, living in the dark woods of Lemmy and Mastodon, have never, until now, heard of this ‘upscrolled’. I really like my ignorance-laced way of life.
- Comment on Meta's latest subscription move is an attempt to offset its AI bets 7 hours ago:
My family still uses WhatsApp all of them, except my kids (I never allowed them and I have very tight control of their devices). After a few months of not being able to send me memes and shit, they started installing Signal one after the other. Long story short, the family group is now on signal.
- Comment on 22 hours ago:
It does say Meta, so it stands to reason that WhatsApp would be part of it. My brain works (using the word ‘works’ very lightly here) in a very similar fashion 🤣
- Comment on France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials 1 day ago:
Because the French government is hell bent on saving money, they don’t care about anyone’s privacy at all. Having said that, at least they are removing Microslop, and anything that could potentially hurt Microslop in any way, shape or form, is a good thing.

Yeah, I’ve been following that up closely. Really looking forward to this.

I really hope GOS does find an OEM willing to throw the kitchen sink at this.
- Comment on This New Android Smartphone Is For Everyone Who Misses the Blackberry 2 days ago:
Agreed

Maybe they should reach out to the GrapheneOS team and see if there could be a partnership of some type there.
- Comment on Microsoft Windows 365 goes down the day after Microsoft celebrates 'reimagining the PC as a cloud service that streams a Cloud PC' 2 days ago:
This is fucking epic 🤣
- Comment on Microsoft Windows 365 goes down the day after Microsoft celebrates 'reimagining the PC as a cloud service that streams a Cloud PC' 2 days ago:
That’s great parenting. My daughter had only known Linux until she started 7th grade this year and got a school windows laptop. She hates that thing with passion. I’m so proud of her 😍

Bill Gates is talking to the executives, and is complaining about penguins taking over their operations. I think they know we’re here 😨
- Comment on If you have one, how much do you pay for a domain name? Any cheap registrar recommendations? 3 days ago:
I use Cloudflare as registrar, and I am currently paying for 2 .com and 1 .co domains, US$100 each for 10 years.
- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 3 days ago:
Now I’m curious about that, haha!

Why is anyone surprised by this? And what kind of imbecile commits crimes and uses windows? 🤣
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 1 week ago:
That’s about right. I have product tío and storage at a 115% of my consumption, which translates to actually using some grid because the sun is not always out (although you would think it is where I live, lol). That allows me to finish the year with an excess credit of about 200 dollars with the electric company, but I still use some of the grid during hurricane season and very rainy periods of 3 or more days, which rarely happens.
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 1 week ago:
Wrong, they are selling cheap to dismount Mercedes, Porsche and BMW in Europe, and it’s working. Once they dump on those 3 companies they will raise the prices to be profitable, but Europe will already have no options. Just wait and see. Chinese EVs are all over Germany now, and it’s only going to increase.
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 1 week ago:
You’re right. They call them ‘Teslas’ if I remember correctly.
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 1 week ago:
I charge my BYD Han and my wife’s Tang with Solar. No issues there.
- Comment on Big AI has PC users furious. Nvidia and Micron's weird emotional appeals make it worse 1 week ago:
I could care less about Asus and many more of those fuckers, but this is impacting every single part of the consumer electronics environment.
- Comment on Nametag: Self-hostable personal relationships manager 1 week ago:
Sorry for the late reply. My wife has been keeping me busy with shit I don’t want to do. Looking at the conversation on github, I saw the first suggestion being the inclusion of pimsync into the docker compose file. I’m no developer, but it stands to reason that the same challenges remain if doing this because at the end of the day, pimsync is just a parser to sync with file systems, and for it to work with carddav the other party would still need to support carddav, right? So that idea is dead in the water. I am going to reply now to your 4 questions in the github. My handle is ‘mofongox’.

That took longer than I expected.
- Comment on Nametag: Self-hostable personal relationships manager 2 weeks ago:
Oh, snap. Thanks so much. This is great stuff.
- Comment on Nametag: Self-hostable personal relationships manager 2 weeks ago:
Does it have caldav/carddav capabilities? That’s key to keep it all there.
- Comment on Never-before-seen Linux malware is “far more advanced than typical” 2 weeks ago:
‘Usually’ being the operating word. It’s still a media Corp owned company part of Condé Nast, like Wired.

Now you can be sure.
- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 2 weeks ago:
There is no current actual improvement other than the possibilities. By cooling the plasma edge and using clean wall materials, they broke a theoretical density barrier that could potentially bring steady-state fusion closer to reality.
That’s all it is. We’re no closer to steady fusion, but now we know we can push past the Greenwald limit.
- Comment on Cory Doctorow proposes how to break free from US digital domination 3 weeks ago:
Think about it. Why does Meta spend the money on that HQ in Ireland? Surely we all know it’s not them trying to make a country better by investing in it because they are such kind souls, right? So, yeah Ireland benefits from it, and that’s a good thing, but they also have that leverage to say ‘thanks for the money, and you can keep profiting here, as long as you’re not breaking any of our laws’. I don’t know, it’s way more complicated than that, but politicians need tk grow some balls.
- Comment on Cory Doctorow proposes how to break free from US digital domination 3 weeks ago:
That’s the type of mentality that keeps individuals from even attempting to build a large gathering of like-minded people to actually push for a change. Yeah, I’m not doing any kind of damage by myself, but that should not keep me from trying, and asking others to also try. Fuck that defeatist mindset.
