  • It’s laughable how you think an OTA update is proof of “horrible manufacturing standards.”

    Newsflash: Tesla and almost every other car manufacturer do OTA updates and recalls all the time. It’s standard practice to fix issues and improve software without dragging cars back to the shop. Singling out BYD for this shows a lack of understanding of how the automotive industry works.

    Calling out xenophobia isn’t a “whataboutism.” It’s pointing out a real issue in your argument.

    And for the record, my brain isn’t “rotted.” It’s perfectly fine and capable of recognising logical fallacies and biased thinking when I see it. Instead of throwing around baseless accusations, maybe take some time to understand the broader context before embarrassing yourself with poorly thought-out arguments.

    Attacking others is usually a sign of intellectual insecurities. Perhaps work on your arguments rather than resorting to name calling and straw man tactics. It’ll make for a much more credible discussion

















  • My love for Linux remains unrequited because my work in video and photography ties me to Adobe. I’ve dabbled with dual-booting, and though Linux’s allure is undeniable, the inconvenience of constantly switching between operating systems is unbearable. The idea of mastering DaVinci Resolve and an alternative photo editor has crossed my mind, but deadlines loom, and time to learn new software is scarce. The anxiety of not knowing if I can accomplish my tasks with unfamiliar programs is overwhelming. Ironically, my disdain for Adobe rivals my contempt for Musk and Trump, making it all the more disheartening to feel ensnared by Adobe’s ecosystem when tantalising alternatives are just out of reach.
