I will never take any auto autonomous Tesla. Waymo maybe, but always a taxi or Uber and better yet a bus or train.
I can’t remember how many safety features Tesla has foregone in the name of profit, but my perception of them is that they’re death machines for both riders and pedestrians. No thank you
As a member of .ML, thank you for showing us that not everyone on that instance is a tankie. There are other anti-authoritarian ideologies on the left before you get to Tankie-ism
Yeah this ain’t it chief. Hope we can nuke the feature into oblivion, but we all know that won’t be possible as Firefox enshittifies
As an engineer, tell that to my seat-flattened ass Tim Apple.
Companies that use AI in production are sewing the seeds of their own demise.

Good. We’re tired of billionaires hoarding OUR wealth, the wealth WE created, as well as the politicians paid by and for those same billionaires rigging the system on their behalf.
As any Marxist-Leninist knows though, the best time to strike the revolution is after you’ve gained the support of the public and elucidated class consciousness. We need more Leftists in political power first spreading the message of class warfare before we get there.
Because otherwise this “revolution” will be entirely selfish and unorganized and will make it harder to get anything accomplished.
Hell yeah!!!
For real lmao
Aptera wanted to do this with their flagship Solar Electric Vehicle (SEV).
IIRC, they switched to an outwheel motor because of the weight the inwheel motors added to the wheels. Could be wrong tho
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and Open Source Hardware (OSH) for the win!!!
Platner has red flags. I recognize that.
But Leftists don’t have any movement. You might be able to point to Bernie Sanders, AOC, Zohran Mamdani, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib. Those aren’t a majority. Hell, sometimes they aren’t even in agreement, as is the case with AOC, Bernie, and Zohran.
Platner has less than a year to demonstrate that he’s not the crypto fascist you all think he is.
And I’ll repeat myself from a comment I left elsewhere:
Lying politicians that lie about drifting to the Left are still better than truth-telling ones that tell the truth about drifting towards the Right. The former changes the permission structure of what’s possible in political rhetoric, while the latter foments public dissatisfaction for the Democrats.
Leftism (at least economically) is popular. Platner speaks to that. The DNC NEEDS to recognize this if they want to win elections.
Your point of view leads to nihilism. Sorry, I still want to believe that we can win.
He’s already given interviews about the tattoo online. Look them up. He denounced it.
There is a reasonable doubt. That’s true.
But people are taking that one step further and making it a certain doubt. People are disqualifying him entirely, which can be seen in others responding to me in this very thread.
People have different sus meters, and mine (and Bernie Sanders’) meters aren’t just there yet.
If he doesn’t get this removed and started to capitulate more and more to centrist liberals, then my support for Platner will wane.
I’d rather defend him than be apathetic to him right now.
And he’s denounced it! Wtf do you want?
Why don’t you have this same smoke for the US Military that should have caught this time and time again?
Platner isn’t perfect. Support him or don’t.
And while you’re at it, support those other Left leaning, anti Zionist frontrunners for elections next year across the US. I’ll wait for those people to come to power while Platner takes names and kicks ass.
Of course, if another candidate for the Maine Senate race appears and has better optics while championing the same views as Platner, I’m all for it.
But let’s keep closeted leftists from taking office because they aren’t left enough.
Ok, well I’ll take that over politicians now that don’t even bother to lie. Democrats nowadays don’t lie and cater to the Right.
At least Obama ran on a campaign of change while fucking us all in the ass. Politicians doing that though shift the Overton Window and change the permission structure for what you can and can’t say on a political campaign.
Graham Platner will do his job in pushing the envelope, and other progressives will follow suit.
Hey Puritan, I’m an American zoomer AND I DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHAT A TOTENKOPF WAS BEFORE YESTERDAY.
May I remind you that most Americans didn’t even know that Lays potato chips were made out of potatoes, and so Lays is now changing up their marketing to get that fact across?
I think you highly overestimate how intelligent people in America are. We have the average literacy rate of a 6th grader. Come on.
If Platner gets it covered or removed in the next 1-2 weeks, no big deal. He’s positioning himself as a reformed veteran, and I’m willing to back him.
We don’t have many other Left leaning candidates in non-Blue states!
Fetterman had a stroke so bad that it changed his political views.
We have no reason to think that Platner is going to stroke out before the primary and general next year.
It could be a Fetterman situation, or it could not. We don’t know enough to be sure.
Good change, as someone who’s vegan.
We’ll take what we can get
