    Found the paid by BP account.

    Also did you just mix km with ºF? You absolute monster!

    Large batteries can be charged up to 90% for daily commuting. Once a month it is good to charge up to 100% anyway, and that can be for your road trip.

    It would be hard to find a modern EV that struggles getting you more than 150~200km of effective range if you plan for it and respect buffers.

    I find it hilarious that these range anxiety people are so scared to wait for a 15~30min top up while they easily waste that time scrolling on their phone a multiple of that every day.

    Not having the insane energy density of fossil fuels, forcing you to pause life for just a coffee break, sounds exactly like the kind of thing humans need right now.

    Did you know you don’t have to hold and depress the nozzle or have to stay with your car while it is charging?

    Well, first off, I doubt there’s much world with internet decades into the future. But if I had to do the fediverse design again, i would make defederation impossible.

    You can just know there’s a r/thedonald over there, and not go there, but everyone else is still all there.

    Creating a fediverse to federate the internet, and then casually allowing defederation is oxymoronic.

    But then you must truly accept a universally agreed on definition of what free speech constitutes. Specifically the age old question on whether free speech includes hate speech or not. (And then there’s that gray zone where hate speechers will say it is not hate speech, they’re simply saying what other’s are thinking, or it’s just their opinion)

    Gets pretty philosophical pretty quickly and in the end you might end up all the way back at this reddit + the defediverse.

    And like I said, we aint got that kind of time left.

    EV range is a fossil fuel funded fear monger.

    A house with solar or wind will almost always have the ability to charge stuff, because of the excess. So unless you have a daily commute of over 300km, apart from a few super cheap options, range isn’t even a thing, as you’ll leave with 90% battery every morning from your house.

    Roadtrips? Plan them around charging points and do something fun. Who wants to sit in a car for over 3 hours non stop anyway?

    What’s that? You want to go offroading and decide in the moment and have options? Yes, remind me who started blasting those type of commercials around the time EVs became popular? Even still, cybertruck’s second hand appreciation should drop below $10k soon.

    I look forward to the day a documentary will be made about the 5 people/bots who serially post on Lemmy, possibly unaware they won’t be able to sell their account for karma, and what the people behind them look like/who they work for.

    “Da, good comrade, now do the one with the jealous girl looking at the boyfrend checkout other chick”

    “What caption?”

    “Something about Linux distros”

    “Ok, and now this one”

    “But this is straight from .ml propaganda stack, should we?”

    “JUST POST IT”

    It’s truly insane what these accounts pump out in “content” every day, and how it keeps getting upvoted.

    Mostly because that documentary would mean the fediverse became actually relevant.

    TLDR; Fediverse, lemmy particularly has very lazy bot detection (it’s basically on the people reporting them to mods, and then mods willing to do something), and is in the middle of being overrun by them, and their agendas are questionable.

    Thanks

    I’m not ignoring it, Pegasus is very old news, never was proven to have an established backdoor and always needed a trojan horse like system to work (i.e. gullible user clicks on stuff) again that’s not limited to the fruit farm, and happens to all systems, even open source linux. If anything the fruit farm does better work at bringing awareness of potential spammers and scammers in their text and email apps.

    Cloud act again applies to all not just Apple. There simply is no evidence in anything you’re presenting to substantiate ios being readily hackable in a wide scale to the extent that “even Bezos got hacked”, that’s all I’m saying. I took all of it serious, you just didn’t demonstrate anything that I wasn’t already aware of or provided demonstrable proof of your wild claims. (Articles with steps to reproduce, lists of victims, class action suits costing apple millions of dollars etc), because it never happened.

    And the reason it has yet to happen, is because they still have a (not that great but still functional) bounty program, regular software updates, and still despite the most fascistic regime ever above them, have not built in a backdoor despite many prior requests.

    The only thing that is increasingly happening behind the scenes probably is them secretly complying more and more with secret court orders (not court orders that are sealed, but secret courts that the public isn’t aware of, issuing orders with full legal effect) and using that to aide ICE/BPD in their gestapo shit). Which is horrible and bad, but would again be exactly what meta, alphabet and amazon are also doing.

    Take care and thanks for the civil discourse.

    Your second link goes to an article with tons of ads where there one source linked to this:

    https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/icloud-for-windows-corrupting-videos-downloading-other-peoples-photos.2370666/page-2

    One user posting something without any proof, one or two others saying me too, and then the entire thread doesn’t even get longer than 2 pages with most people fretting about Apple’s apps on windows sucking balls since before the stone age. Someone in that thread points out that if this was real, there would be tons of outlets like The Verge posting about this outlining steps to replicate etc. None of that happened.

    I’m going to have to bail here buddy. I entertained a random person on the internet, im sure you’re a good person, but I have been following the fruit farm from very close for very long. Nothing I say will make you think that I’m not a hypnotised blinded by fruit person, but that’s okay.

    Your other articles probably are mostly true: Apple has bent over to China because it’s one of their biggest markets and their plan to divest production from that country will take decades, but is going well.

    Apple is an ad company and a streaming company. They still don’t sell personal data and are nowhere near the apocalyptic personal data harvesters like Meta, Amazon and Alphabet have built their businesses around.

    They don’t get a free pass, but of all of silicon valley they are the least bad of a bunch of really rotten ones. And miles behind the ethics of Linus Torvalds.
