Klwohu··on Volkswagen launches its first all-electric SUV, the ID.4
The range is the issue, the "suburban and rural retards" probably have more expensive vehicles than NY and San Fran dwellers. But nobody wants a car that can't run on gas unless you live on an Interstate corridor, the 101, etc.

Still going to have to check it to make sure it's not producing smog when the authorities aren't watching.
Klwohu··on Linux bans University of Minnesota for sending buggy patches in name of research
Not weird, it's just more difficult to discuss and understand when it happens. It's perfectly normal seeming.
Klwohu··on “They introduce kernel bugs on purpose”
Are you saying, in this particular case, that the Chinese researcher is an American citizen? That's a very bold claim. Source?
Klwohu··on Charm delivers Stripe's carbon removal purchase ahead of schedule
Heh I wonder why you picked that year?
Klwohu··on Car Connectivity Consortium
I'm going to have to go ahead and say "no" to any more connected devices until I can share in the revenue stream that monetizing my behavior and travels generates.
Klwohu··on Lisp in Forth
In my city it's becoming more popular than Rust in the hacker spaces.
Klwohu··on Charm delivers Stripe's carbon removal purchase ahead of schedule
The US is absolutely nowhere near India's carbon emissions, nor China's. And none of the famously popular proposals such as Paris even address it.

It's cool, they already serve as our garbage dumps and contain the toxic waste that fuels your iPhone. Just saying the USA isn't anywhere near the peak of the problem.

Klwohu··on Charm delivers Stripe's carbon removal purchase ahead of schedule
Carbon removal seems like slapping a band aid on a sucking chest wound until the Chinese and Indian problems are dealt with.
Klwohu··on Police in Minnesota round up journalists and take pictures of their faces
You may wish to read a book called Manufacturing Consent.
Klwohu··on First steps with Rust
They just flushed their Rustaceans out the door, didn't you hear the news? You just can't rewrite it all in Rust.
Klwohu··on Sex workers explain why the Safe Tech Act will break the internet
Wrong, it's the result of continuous study. Call me a Nazi but please don't assign me bigotry.
Klwohu··on Sex workers explain why the Safe Tech Act will break the internet
Capitalism is entirely a concept within Marxism and doesn't exist outside that particular philosophy. Maybe that's why Marxists have reached total penetration and are having difficulty converting new useful idiots. Most people wised up to the re-definition of language and the predominance of neologisms and tuned it all out.
Klwohu··on Sex workers explain why the Safe Tech Act will break the internet
My explanation eventually leads back to Marxism and destruction of the family unit and other cornerstones of public order and decency which form the core of Enlightenment Western civilization. This isn't the proper place to critique Marxism. I'm sure everybody feels the chilling effects in their own workplaces and on the Internet, as well. Some things are just not fit to talk about outside certain welcoming spaces, like 4chan.
Klwohu··on Sex workers explain why the Safe Tech Act will break the internet
You were more interested in delivering a canned lecture. I don't have to justify myself to such a rude person. Sex work is NOT real work, that's not just an odd perspective, it's the majority opinion.
Klwohu··on Sex workers explain why the Safe Tech Act will break the internet
As one of the many people who hold that sex work is NOT real work, and is instead deeply exploitative and nasty, I'm glad that this is being done. Sex workers in recent times have taken over Reddit, the sex worker spam is unrelenting. Not sure if it's bot-driven or what, but it's unacceptable.
Klwohu··on China’s Dystopian “New IP” Plan for a New Internet
Everything you buy is from China. If China says it's the new standard, your iPhone or Android or Dell or HP or Playstation or Smart TV will support it.
Klwohu··on I am stepping down from Perl Steering Council and Core
Perl 6 was what killed it by sucking the life out of the real, working, actual Perl.
Klwohu··on FreeBSD/arm64 becoming Tier 1 in FreeBSD 13
X.org maintenance consists of merging drivers written by GPU companies. The software itself has been totally finished for many years. Im sure when IBM et al decide to formally relinquish control of X.org instead of pussyfooting around with this "maintenance mode" act, we'll see more progress though. Promising technologies such as Xgl were left by the wayside because X.org is supposed to be depreciated.
Klwohu··on Female truckers have become TikTok influencers, and they're changing trucking
Are they really changing trucking? That's amazing.
Klwohu··on FreeBSD/arm64 becoming Tier 1 in FreeBSD 13
Are you saying this as a FreeBSD core development team member?
Klwohu··on FreeBSD/arm64 becoming Tier 1 in FreeBSD 13
Don't expect Wayland to ever come to OpenBSD.
Klwohu··on Apple’s Find My network now offers new third-party finding experiences
I just don’t trust this type of thing. I know that supposedly there’s privacy and such. But I don’t trust big tech any more.
Klwohu··on IBM COBOL for Linux on x86
Hehe, as usual they don’t even talk about how much it costs. Will it be against the TOS to benchmark it?
Klwohu··on Signal Server code on GitHub is up to date again
Do you still need to give them your phone number though?
Klwohu··on Chinese engineers cracked Apple's M1 chip and successfully upgrade RAM and SSD
I still use an over ten year old Thinkpad as my daily driver. It’s not as dire as all that.
Klwohu··on Tesla hacker unveils what the Model 3/Y cabin camera can see
You can simply choose a regular gas or diesel vehicle made before these monitoring and spyware and tracking features, like driver monitoring cameras and OnStar type always-on tracking became available.

With electric, this is difficult, maybe impossible.

Klwohu··on I hope work from home continues
HR wants you back, they basically have nothing to do without inter-office drama.
Klwohu··on New Zealand to open quarantine-free “travel bubble” with Australia
This doesn't make sense - it's virtually impossible to sanitize the cabin air pressure system in an aircraft.
Klwohu··on Chinese engineers cracked Apple's M1 chip and successfully upgrade RAM and SSD
I've got this old HP-42s calculator here in front of me, which has no viable upgrade path, and adjusted for inflation it was more expensive than an entry level M1.

I have an HP-67 and an HP-97 as well, neither of which has any upgrade path and they each cost half as much as a new economy car when they came out.
