I see. Thanks!

Threadiverse? Is that a spelling mistake?

This is social media. Not forums.

Bring back crappy forums? Why just not continue using all the good forums that we never stopped using?

It seems that IVPN is getting a lot of new customers. I have never heard about them before though. Don’t take this as any sort of recommendation or anything.

Well. Why didn’t you say so then. :D

Sure!

Better dense than hollow. I guess. ;)

A few years ago? I had this on my Android phone almost two decades ago. :D

No worries!

Rice, ricing, ricer, etc. It’s common racist lingo that’s been used for decades.

It’s also a common term used (for customising your desktop) on Reddit. They literally borrowed the word due to it’s rasist meaning.

However. This is not Reddit, and it would be nice if we could keep it more civil here, which is why I’m bringing it up. :)

Understandable how?

I’m glad you have a better experience with them! :)

I didn’t have to look hard to find these. :/

Oh! You mean crypto currencies, not crypto. I was confused there for a bit. :D

He donated to a party that’s basically a mini version of Trump.

The cars since 2020 have been decent quality. What you are paying for is an EV with good range and good power. Tesla definitely pushed the U.S. ev adoption ahead by a number of years.

I guess everything is relative. Tesla is still a crappy car in terms of quality here, with tons of unresolved issues with faulty cars that Tesla refused to help their customers with.

I’m curious about how that board works - is it a judicial system that other car manufacturers follow?

Råd & Rönis is an independent, non-profit consumer magazine owned by the Swedish Consumer Agency. Their funding comes from subscriptions and government grants (no advertising and no corporate money). They test products, expose bad companies and protect consumers. Their “Black List” (Svarta Listan) is highly influential, and being on it can destroy sales completely.

Customers can file a complaint at The National Board for Consumer Disputes (ARN), a government-run arbitration(?) service. Their decisions are not legally binding, but companies that ignore them get publicly shamed (and often blacklisted by Råd & Rön). Tesla has ignored basically every single case. Any remotely serious company here in Sweden comply with ARN. We take ARN very seriously here.

What kind of rulings have they made against Tesla?

Our law is equal for everyone. We don’t care if you’re some local dude selling hotdogs or Elon Musk selling Teslas.

I found that Tesla follows their own warranty quite well […]

That’s the issue. Their warranty basically means that they ignore you and will fuck you over, even if the issue is their own fault. People have ended up with repair costs close to what a new car costs, and even if it’s Teslas fault, they refuse to do shit.

[…] and after that I don’t think any a car manufacturers will fix stuff for free.

Of course they have to, if the issue is their own fault.

They are? How?

The only issue with Tesla is that the quality of their cars is mediocre at best, while you’re paying premium, and that Tesla is the most childish and obstinate company to work with.

We have something called Råd & Rön’s Blacklist, which is respected Swedish consumer magazine’s list of products to avoid. Tesla is one of the brands that’s listed there. Partly because of the poor quality of the cars and partly because they don’t follow the rulings from the National Board for Consumer Complaints here in Sweden.

And they don’t give a **** about insurance companies either. If something happens to your Tesla, you’re on your own buying a new one yourself. You can forget about getting any sort of help from Tesla.

I’m not taking side here, but to be fair, Elon Musk is a shitty person doing shitty things both professionally and private. Mullvad VPN is at least only doing good things!

With that said. I have stopped using Mullvad VPN for now. We’ll see how this all plays out.

That sounds promising! I’ve been experience this issue with my Thinkpad T14 with the incredibly stupid 1080p resolution. I’ll try some options with Wayland there.

What does instant perfect fractional scaling mean?

The touchpad was invented in a time where graphical operating systems was barley even a thing. I don’t think they’re meant to be used more than perhaps you sitting on the train on your way to work or something. :)

I’m sure it’s about minimalism for some. For me, it’s about doing as much as possible with as little as possible. When you have less, you usually also gets creative with what you have. When you live in excess, you tend to get lazy and unproductive. :) While my system might look and feel minimal, I consider it to be way more productive, ergonomic and functional than most other systems. However. I can understand that most doesn’t have the time or interest in learning all the thing required, and that they’re fine with less.

You have a good point about the last thing you wrote there! I guess it’s all a balance of what you’re willing to give up, your time learning all this stuff, or your health. :D
