They’re also notoriously terrible build quality.

I will give Tesla credit for one solitary thing: They did help jumpstart electrics. Help. Not cause.

But that has been picked up by real car manufacturers, who just need more encouragement to continue to increase numbers, along with infrastructure projects to bring more charging stations to more places. A critical area would be for installations in places like apartment parking lots and various public parking lots (i.e. paid parking but I mean shopping lots)

Pedo nazis are trying to take over the U.S.

Alas, not sure about “trying”, but yes.

Your point is that progressives in america aren’t progressives because progressives in other countries are more progressive?

No. As I stated, the “radical left” in the US is not radical.

Anyway, we’re not gonna agree on this, which is fine. I’m not forcing you to. I hadn’t felt you addressed my points, but this time around you did seem to do so, so I still want you to have a lovely day. :)

Seems like you wish to ignore all of my points.

Fair enough.

Have a lovely day.

Precisely. As a progressive, what I want is generally considered pretty normal and basic in any of the other 32 OECD (“developed”) countries.

There are a few that would be “radical”, but they are a tiny minority.

Tell ya what, though, after putting up with fascist bullshit all my life, while I just want basic freedom and a social safety net, I’m willing to listen to these “radical” left. Certainly the regressive right has done fuck all for us.

There is nothing radical about progressives in the US. As a progressive… we are centrist in most of the other 32 OECD (“developed”) countries.

Radical left would start with things like no private property, ownership of everything by all, things like that.

So no, friend, I’m not changing the meaning of anything. Calling progressives in the US “radical” is already changing the meaning and wussing out on what actual radical change would be.

And, of course, they are turning this into a political case.

Because climate change has accelerated the process, and because regressives deny climate change, it became political.

On the other hand, climate change does also accelerate the process, so it might’ve lasted a lot longer.

Jason figured it out? Jason? Well, this is a new low. Yeah, this one hurts.

Denotation ignores connotation, and in the US, “radical left” has specific meaning, especially to nazis.

Stunning ignorance on display here.

I’ve tried to set various of these apps up in the past - I used to do tech support; I am a geek - and for whatever reason, I could never get all the parts working right. I assume many people can since they’re popular, but it just never clicked for me.

But I have a pretty good workflow - a seedbox running rutorrent which allows me to send magnet links to it just clicking them in Firefox, with emby installed so I can stream from the box - or easily connect via FTP to download when I prefer.

That’s the nice thing - there’s a number of ways to accomplish the goal, so finding the one that works well for you is what’s important.

That said, I don’t remember which ones these are, but I think it began with “Sonarr” to download music and the various somewhat-similarly named projects are about finding and downloading various forms of media automatically based on rules or searches or keywords or whatever. Which is nicer than my system of reminders that stuff should drop and I should go look for a torrent for it. :)

I’m giving Lemmi another try recently, not sure I’m committed yet, and I wouldn’t want to volunteer until then. If I’m still here in a couple of weeks, though, it means my brain has decided to stick around. :) I do like it here, it was just that reddit’s endless /r/all kept me going back last time I tried Lemmy.

Well, let me ask: My goal as moderator has always been to facilitate the community’s desires on how it should work, so I’m not worried about fitting in on that side of things, but how does Lemmy (or your particular instance) feel about the balance between “free speech” and hate speech / bigotry? I ask because I certainly haven’t noticed any bigotry around, which is nice, but that’s what I’m most interested in as a mod: Seeking out spam, off-topic, and bigotry and eliminating that; stepping in when people make personal attacks on each other to shut that down; but otherwise letting the community decide what content they want.

I used to be a mod of default subreddits, “my guy”. I’m also the ‘father’ of /r/nottheonion - it was abandoned years ago and I did a reddit request and got it and built it up to 20k subs, brought on a team of mods, and when we were around 200k subs, decided to step away as my vision conflicted with the rest of the mods, and I thought they were doing a good job, so I stepped down.

I used to hang out with the reddit admins in IRC back in the day.

So compared to that, “my guy”, my participation is minimal.

I think all the people that are going to leave have left. I don’t see that many people griping about anything anymore. (I browse /r/all and I mod a couple of local subreddits, but otherwise don’t participate much anymore)
