It's mind-boggling. How many articles can they write about the latest Twitter clusterfuck, followed up immediately by "follow me on Twitter", before they wonder if they're the baddies?

If large outlets said they were quitting Twitter and going elsewhere (Threads, Mastodon, whatever), the audience would follow. Media deserves most of the blame IMO.

And yet if you click that journalist's profile, the ONLY social media link is to that festering shithole. Journalists are complicit and enabling Twitter to do this by treating it as a legitimate platform and the default place for news.

It's literally an extortion racket. I've seen it first-hand.

People have already been jailbreaking Teslas to unlock full self-driving, which is a $10k software patch.

Same, that alone is reason enough to stick to AC IMO. It's so much safer for the end user (or their kids who stick a fork into the outlet).

there’s not enough lithium on this planet to store enough energy for like half of europe nevermind entire world

This is a good use case for sodium batteries. They're less energy-dense so not great for vehicles, but for a stationary application like this they're perfect.

I suppose, but is there any documented occurrence of that? It seems like a whole stack of what-if scenarios required for that to happen. At that point you should be more concerned with someone beating your password out of you.

Nice post. My two cents:

  • Can you make the images clickable? They're impossible to read at that size.
  • This paragraph should probably mention that this won't work if the provider uses E2EE: "Using secure email providers means that a lot of trust is placed into the provider itself. A failure or a breach of the provider can result in the content of your emails being disclosed, which means you should choose a provider you trust, ideally with a good track record and some formal certifications that attest at least basic security. However, the attacks that are specific to this setup are complex and expensive. Unless you are a high profile target, it's very unlikely they will ever be relevant to you."

Damn, rare technology L from the EU. Hopefully they walk back this decision.
