I’m just rubbin’ and tuggin’ my fuckin’ nips
Handful of amusing and novel examples aside, generated art is an affront to han creativity and ought to be banned everywhere, or at the very least strictly relegated to its own spaces so it can be easily avoided
US tech companies too, you fucking cowards.
Facebook paid kids to install a VPN client on their smartphones so they could intercept AND DECRYPT traffic between competing services (like Snapchat, Amazon, Youtube)
facebook and any other company they acquire (or however they try to rebrand) are not only untrustworthy but active adversaries against common decency and basic privacy
They illegally fired the very employees who led the effort to pressure the company internally to do more on climate… All their climate posturing ever since has been bullshit.
Just like its salespeople
I feel the same way when I use my turn signals. I’m not asking.
(assuming of course it’s safe to follow through)
ah yes, for professionals
The champion must be an officer of the company or a board member tho. No regular workers.
Ah yeah I did misread you. My apologies.
Though I don’t quite agree that EVs are getting more tech than ICE counterpaets. Remember BMW’s scandal around subscription heated seats? That definitely was not an EV-specific or EV-biased thing. That’s only one example, of course.
Another is Toyota locking remote start behind a subscription - when the remote start was entirely over local radio signals between the car and the keyfob. Definitely not an EV issue.
Or, multiple automakers being caught spying on drivers and selling the data. Much broader than EVs.
On another note, EVs are better for noise, pollution, and climate but they still emit brake dust and tire particles, and they weigh more so they cause a bit more wear and tear on roads. More transit and less cars is vitally necessary, and that includes EVs, so I hope I’m not an EV zealot - just been driving the things for eight years and weirded out by bad info about them
This sort of crap has fuck all to do with EVs. Why do so many people seem to think that EVs are being enshittified any more than cars with combustion engines?
Better than damage attribute tho, cuz who the fuck carries around restore attribute potions - can’t even find the damn things for sale most of the time
oh wait this is Oblivion not Morrowind, probably fine
The gall of these motherfuckers is truly astonishing. To be either so incredibly out of touch, or so absolutely shameless, makes me wanna call up every single school bully I ever endured to get their very best bullying tips
nixos
the fucking grift of it all.
tpaying a $60 license fee to pearson just to be able to submit fucking required homework.
nah I really think you got it wrong.
big companies spend obscene amounts of money and effort researching how to manipulate and influence people effectively so they can make the most profit they can get away with.
a catchy jingle is an obvious example. not really nefarious (i have strong nostalgia for local business jingles and slogans) tho.
dark patterns on websites are a better example. like how it’s really easy to sign up for amazon prime, but canceling amazon prime is impossible to do without having to use a search engine to find the obscure link to the cancellation page.
if you think people influence companies more than the other way wrong, I really gotta urge you to consider another angle.
You really shouldn’t be worried about Bolts specifically. Way more likely to have an ICE vehicle catch fire than an EV.
And that massive Bolt recall means the used affected ones all have newer batteries anyways
My non-Tesla EV would only be affected by way of more Teslas at non-Tesla chargers. Which, to your point, would be a pretty significant impact to road trips.
But neither I nor most people take road trips more than a few times a year, so even in this extreme case, the impact wouldn’t be relevant ~95% of the time.
And to the original topic, this wouldn’t brick any EVs or anything like that.
There are no alternatives. Everything is predatory. Blaming consumers is ignorant.
Please hurt them.
Nintendo is straight up evil.
