One way or another you need grid-scale turbines to maintain grid frequency. Solar power can’t set frequency and wind power is too variable, so power grids use some sort of turbine to do it.

Nuclear reactors are also necessary to generate things like medical isotopes and tritium for industrial processes, and fusion research. Someone, somewhere on Earth needs to keep their fission reactors going.

Just about every major advance in technology like this enhanced the power of the capitalists who owned it and took power away from the workers who were displaced.

How many once in a lifetime economic events is this now?

In this damn thread there is a lot of this.

Everybody in here buying Che shirts from Hot Topic.

I think well adjusted people participating in their communities and meaningful action are not burning cars.

Do you buy Nestle products? Do you buy anything from Amazon? Do you drive an ICE car and purchase gas for it?

If you do any of these things you’re an evil piece of shit Nazi and deserve to have your possessions burned to nothing (per your logic)

The car still has utility to the person who owns it. It’s “real” value is irrelevant to most people so long as it does what it was supposed to do when purchased.

Once you purchase the vehicle, the damage is already done. There is nothing to gain from busting up cars people already purchased.

As someone who was raised in a conservative family but who climbed through a great many hoops to finally arrive at socialist thought: if you nutters were the left while I made that journey, I doubt I ever would have finished it.

The world has enough psychos in it, please stop hurting people who you can’t even be sure are complicit.

I don’t know why but some leftists will just find the dumbest fucking hills to die on, while completely ignoring real causes that actually move agendas forward.

Where is this energy in our unions and community groups? Where are these people in town halls and school board meetings? Where are the canvassers, the volunteers, the organizers?

Stop burning cars and start doing some of the damned work you cowards. Invest in your community and show people you’re helpful and trustworthy instead of psychotic and destructive.

It’s all in one place. You look at your “feed” of things and your stuff with a new post every week is right there with the stuff with new posts every ten minutes.

RSS exists, sadly average people just couldn’t figure out how to use it.

The hardware is 10 years old and it wasn’t even shiny at the time. Shield is a damned joke.

About 10 years old actually. It’s the TI-83 of streaming boxes at this point: an absolute fucking rip-off. Pretty on-brand for Nvidia though.

Don’t give your TV wifi access, use a separate device to watch stuff (Chromecast, FireTV, Android box, etc…)

strap in because there aren’t many decent tutorials

Yeah I’ve noticed. It was rough figuring out how to set up a reverse proxy with SSL too. Self-hosting is a process.

But share prices were already going down?

You people are going this far just to rationalize the burning of cars. The toll this will have on support for the cause will dwarf the temporary damage to Musk’s assets. This is just blatantly stupid accelerationism.

Go join an actual cause and be part of something. Stop lashing out like a baby.

I self-host Collabora (online version of LibreOffice; OnlyOffice is another option), and my data lives on my NAS, but it could just as easily live on S3 or some distributed data store.

Oh this is interesting. Any pitfalls you could talk about before I go popping this up myself?

Remember, there was the bread price fixing in Canada too, yeah, feels like such a long time ago

It’s funny that we talk about this like it’s past tense but bread is still $6 a loaf

See you keep saying “defending a Nazi”. I keep saying “you’re torching the personal property of people who are not Elon Musk and who likely innocently bought the vehicle”. If you’re just going to talk right past me and start talking about Musk when I’m talking about individual workers, I don’t see how this is a real conversation at all.

But just to be clear: torching Teslas that Musk already got paid for does not hurt him.

No. I invoked it to highlight the absurdity of this line of thinking: that it is somehow acceptable to damage the property of a worker who may be completely innocent.
