Plus the morale kick. “Oh yeah, we fired you a couple weeks ago without making too much of a fuss… but yeah, now get back to work!”

Sweden having fewer than 1% black people

Sorry, where are you getting your statistics from? The 1800s?

You should be disappointed to learn that most of the “antivaxxers” probably already got Attenuvax, or even the modern MMR vaccine. It’s their children and other at-risk groups that will suffer the most.

You mean 7, right? Most people skipped 8, and that’s why Microsoft made the update to 10 free.

It’s basically the same thing in Sweden, but in the rare chance that the tax agency makes a mistake, it’s usually resolved before summertime without any court issues.

Always have. The article is from 2016 btw.

Why don’t other cars suffer the same fate as often?

But I’ll lose so much money needing to refill the blinker fluid! :P Seems like it’s not produced anymore though. Maybe I’ll test-drive the i4, though it’s a different class than the i3…

I’ve only tried Model 3 and Y out of the Tesla line, but yeah, I’d pick something else if I wanted a “city car” here in Europe. I’m spoiled, so it feels nice having a “police car” as my daily driver, especially when the price classes here are so comparable. Even the brands that are usually much cheaper when picking an ICE car, are barely cheaper than the more luxurious EV models. (And the used market here is awful, thanks in part to how weak SEK is – most just get exported to the rest of Europe)

Yeah, I’ve driven probably the majority of EVs on the market, and it’s hard to match how enjoyable it is to drive a Tesla. It’s like driving a spaceship. I probably would have leased one just a couple years ago, but my next car will almost certainly be a Polestar instead.

Wuphf!

Because they’re saying that people are afraid of AI taking their job, as if the majority of people enjoy their jobs? People don’t want to be without an income. As if our benevolent oligarchs will suddenly give us even the smallest chance of getting some kind of basic income?

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who had that as their first thought.

You’re missing the bigger picture: if an employee dies, Elon’s unemployment insurance fees won’t go up!!

Teslas tend to get very toasty when crashing? I’m not sure I’d want to be in a tunnel with a lot of them. Imagine if it’ll become like the Salang Tunnel after a while?

Unless you have somehow managed to get the source code, no, Plex is not free software unfortunately!

Plex Inc has a central auth server, and your media server automatically creates a dynamic hostname for connecting to your server’s IP. And if the user can’t reach the server directly for some reason (NAT for example), Plex has a “relay server” that works as a proxy, but your quality gets reduced to like 320p or something.

So if Plex Inc shut down their auth servers suddenly (or have downtime, which happened a couple years ago), you won’t be able to do much. It’s possible to bypass the central auth, but no one does it, because such auto-discovery is one of Plex’s benefits – user logs in on their app, and it shows all their possible servers. But otherwise, it’s self-hosted.

You can disable most of that stuff on Plex. But yeah, Jellyfin is nicer anyways as it’s free software.

Think like this: for our sooo beloved politicians and legal systems, everything in life is seen as a transaction. Due to the fact that I’ve paid my “private copying tax” or whatever you want to call it, I therefore have the right to make private copies and share them with limited groups of people. If they want to restrict those rights that I have paid for, they would “need” to remove the tax – but they will never do that because it’s tons of free money.

But if they did get rid of the tax, there’s no longer that “transaction”, and therefore there’s nothing hindering them from criminalizing private copying. Sweden is already USA’s lapdog in all other regards, so you can bet it’d be repealed quickly.

I don’t support copyright laws either, nor follow them, but I can appreciate how it’s currently set up here, simply because it would otherwise become much much worse. At least here, normal people can do what they want without worrying about getting a legally binding order to pay 700€+ in damages like the Germans get.

No, it’s ackshully a private copying levy. I get what you mean, but it’s a “good” thing, because otherwise 12 § upphovsrättslagen probably wouldn’t exist anymore:

Var och en får för privat bruk framställa ett eller några få exemplar av offentliggjorda verk. Såvitt gäller litterära verk i skriftlig form får exemplarframställningen dock endast avse begränsade delar av verk eller sådana verk av begränsat omfång. Exemplaren får inte användas för andra ändamål än privat bruk.

Private copying levy. In Sweden, it’s called privatkopieringsersättning.
