I no you know

I know a lot of billionaires don’t have an income and that’s how they get away with not paying taxes. They just borrow against their assets instead, like stocks.

Can we just … ban that? Like no more borrowing against stocks or assets. That way they’d actually have to sell their assets to use them and make an income. Then we can properly tax them.

Just a thought. Genuine question.

it sounds like you're an uneducated Tesla driver. I've driven a model X now for four years and it is a robot, Tesla is a robot company, and Tesla can disable any feature or even the entire car if they decide that's in their best interest. FSD is beta software, and I have been a beta tester. I have had to take over control of the car for my own safety or otherwise I would've been in multiple disastrous accidents. Tesla is a great car, but it's not perfect and there are some serious issues with the company and the cars. Get educated..

@zekramu @TheStreetsofATX for the record I own a Tesla so I'm not anti-Tesla but we are going to call them out on their BS when they are bad actors

[JohnΞ @j3g]

@zekramu @TheStreetsofATX it means that Tesla is basically a robot company and the car can be considered a robot. They can remotely control the entire robot. You don't actually own your car. It can be disabled at any time.

@zekramu get a Toyota if you plan on taking long trips. The Corolla is the best value right now. If you're planning to purchase a Camry, then you should definitely test drive a model 3. model Y is more amazing but more expensive than Camry.

@mitchellh first world problems, lol. Sounds like you should upgrade to a new fancy house with bigger driveway and more garages. 💯

[JohnΞ @j3g]

these are the cons of a Tesla

[Michael Embrich @MikeEmbrich]

If you’re thinking about switching to a Tesla because gas prices are high, don’t do it.

Let me save you.

First, you’ll still be driving a car built by a company run like a group chat with stock options. Every “upgrade” feels like a software update you didn’t ask for, and somehow the car has fewer normal buttons than a microwave from 1997.

Full Self-Driving? Cool name. Except you still have to supervise it like a toddler holding scissors. Nothing says “future of transportation” like paying thousands of dollars to beta test anxiety.

Then there’s the interior. Minimalist? Sure. But there’s a fine line between “clean design” and “where the hell did all the controls go?” Sometimes I don’t want to dig through a touchscreen menu just to open a glovebox or adjust something basic. Revolutionary stuff.

No physical key, because apparently your phone needs one more job. Great until your phone dies, glitches, updates, overheats, or decides today is the day it no longer believes in Bluetooth.

And the door handles. Why are we reinventing door handles? Humanity had this one figured out.

Charging sounds great until you’re on a road trip, staring at a charger like you’re waiting for a printer to connect to Wi-Fi. Gas stations may smell like fumes, but at least the pump doesn’t make you download an app, check availability, and pray the charger actually works.

The build quality? Let’s just say some Teslas look like they were assembled during an earthquake by people being chased. Panel gaps, rattles, weird noises — but hey, at least it has fart mode.

And yes, it has a massive screen, cameras everywhere, ambient lights, games, apps, AI, and a bunch of features that make it feel less like a car and more like a rolling tech demo nobody finished.

So before you buy a Tesla because gas prices are high, remember: saving money at the pump is cool, but so is owning a car that doesn’t feel like it was designed by Reddit, built by interns, and updated by chaos.

You’ve been warned. ⚡🚗❌

Tesla replacing a $10 rain sensor with no rain sensor and then being perpetually unable to make it work 8 years later is hilarious to me. Just use the one you can find on a $20,000 Corolla.

we are being gaslit about AI on a societal level. Everybody is vibe coding but I haven’t seen one useful thing get produced. Everybody has agents doing something but nothing useful is getting done. Cool you had AI summarize a PDF and make a template. Nice

[JohnΞ @j3g]

@davepl1968 too distracting for my taste. really cool idea tho

[JohnΞ @j3g]

@SawyerMerritt they are cooked with this. $50k

[JohnΞ @j3g]

@DirtyTesLa enjoy being a beta tester at your own risk

[RG | BEATS @DR_BEATS_KICK]

Can you rt this? Maybe we can make a difference

[⭕ AI & Design (Marco) @AIandDesign]

I'm not gonna lie, the @Meta layoffs are some of the most dystopian I've ever seen. They got told to work from home, they were sent the emails at 4AM in the morning. Those who weren't impacted have software on their computer that tracks their every move, preparing AI to take their job as well. They're literally training the AI that will eliminate their position as well.

Meanwhile, Meta is raking in RECORD PROFITS.

I am a massive, unapologetic AI enthusiast. Yet, this is NOT the future I had in mind.

I wish for Meta to crash and burn. This is not the way. Literally nobody benefits from this.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

Fork your dependencies, trim them to only your use case, never update unless it breaks for your users. I’ve been vocal about this for 10+ years. I’ve always said that updating is way riskier than latent bugs (which can be tracked and CVEs monitored).

If you are updating a dependency, it’s on you to analyze every single commit in the full transitive set of dependencies. If you dont see anything compelling, dont update!

I remember at HashiCorp once in awhile an engineer would try to update a dep or replace a DIY lib with an external one and id always ask “show me the commit we need.” Dont update for the sake of it.

Feeling pretty swell about this mentality with all the supply chain attacks happening.

Rep. Burchett says President Trump is facing resistance from the Deep State on the UFO files which may reveal a coverup of Zero-Point Energy

“It’s about power and control. That’s what runs Washington. They’re gonna have to admit they’ve been lying to us.”
