  • Ummm. Elon Musk made $100,000,000,000 by making internet propaganda about how his electric cars are better than internal combustion, lies about their capabilities (full self driving), lies about how often they explode and lies about how well his Robots work. And then the propaganda is so strong he becomes Buddy in chief and people think that literally paying Musk another $50Billion is a good idea.

    The cats out of the bag. Internet propaganda is too cheap and too effective. Everyone will be doing it if only to counter Elon Musk (let alone make money for themselves like through bullshit crypto coins or whatever).


    You or I deciding to ‘not fill the internet with shit’ stops nobody. It’s going to happen given this political climate and the benefits therein.


  • Lemmy.ml started off as marxist-lenninist site. All sites need to start with a niche and I doubt any future social network will avoid the niche issue.

    I think normies are turning off of Lemmy recently, which naturally causes the extremists feel more loud (because the extremists will NEVER leave this site).

    Trying to figure out a good social network is like looking for a good hangout in real life. The people who frequent is entirely the picture. It’s hard to compete vs commercial interests like Blue sky or whatever as they pop up though.

    Still, Threads, BlueSky and Twitter are all obviously suspect sites that will seed algorithms with their message. Lemmy doesn’t do that. Lemmy has its own issues but it’s very much a pick your poison situation.

    Early internet was just information about hobbies and for the betterment of people and furthering knowledge. Let’s take that back.

    Nope. After 2010s proved that the internet is the central location for political battles with Wikipedia Blackouts causing major political shifts, Pandoras Box has been opened.

    The internet is now the premier location for propaganda and politicalization.










  • Also… your comment is incredibly rude.

    Good. I’d like to be rude to the Free Palestine bullshitters who couldn’t rally their cause for Harris. Your subgroup failed us and now we are trapped with Trump.

    There are other failures to rally. But Free Palestine was actively protesting at Harris events and breaking unity. And calling Genocide Joe and pushing us to get rid of Joe.

    It was incredibly shortsighted for the community to work like this. And now that Trump is fucking those policies up I’ll take my time to spike the football on this matter.




  • The Prius PHEV manual states that there is a battery conditioner: both battery-cooling when its hot and and battery-heating when its cold.

    I assume that a significant amount of the electric charge from L1 charger is going towards battery-heating. Ex: I have a 1000W L1 charger (measured from the wall). If 100W is going to heating, then that’s a 10% loss before other voltage-conversion losses. (The Prius is a 400V battery, so 110V to 400V will incur additional losses).

    The L2 charger likely has 100W of heating in these cold nights as well, but at 3,300W charging, that’s only a 3% loss. Far more efficient. Furthermore, 220V is closer to 400V, so there will be less voltage-conversion losses associated with L2 charging.

    A lot of reasons to favor L2 charger installation. So that’s going to be my recommendation to anyone doing Electric.







  • Did you forget about the election?

    Immigrants from Springfield, Ohio are eating cats and dogs.

    And now Trump is moving for mass deportations.


    The good news is that Trump is ignorant and bad at his job. I dunno how long it’d take to setup detention camps for immigrants but it’s definitely coming.

    I’d say that any Hispanic or Latino, even Puerto Ricans, are at risk. Depending on which state you are in. Arizona is known to throw out US Citizens for deportation if the sheriff thinks you look funny.
