Unfortunately, much of the car enthusiast community is filled with extremely bigoted and closed minded people. It’s a big problem.

If you want, feel free to tell your friend about the Superfast Matt Discord server (Matt is a popular car YouTuber, and has a very active car enthusiast community on his Discord). They have a strict zero tolerance policy for that kind of shit, and everyone there is very accepting of new people. She can find an invite at discord dot gg slash superfastmatt

(Not trying to advertise, just hoping to connect your friend with the kind of people she’s looking for!)

This is the worst ragebait I’ve read since leaving Reddit ngl

wow, you must be a joy at parties

As a Tesla owner (from several years ago, before Elon got this bad), I’m not installing any updates until I can confirm they don’t come with MechaHitler.

Several reasons. Outside of the reactor core itself, almost all items that “become” radioactive are just contaminated with radioactive waste. The item itself hasn’t turned radioactive, it’s just covered in radioactive particles that are usually very difficult to remove.

However, when you expose something to very high levels of neutron radiation (like you would find in a reactor core), it is possible to turn the atoms of the item itself radioactive. This is known as “activating”, and it’s how we produce many types of radiopharmaceutical drugs and other research isotopes. The amount of neutrons required to do this are basically nonexistent outside of nuclear reactors and particle accelerators, so it’s usually not a concern.

Source: my job is to put things into a nuclear reactor and turn them radioactive.

Operating system and CPU architecture are useful for sites to serve the correct binaries when a user is downloading an application. I know you could just give them all the options, but the average idiot has no idea what the difference between ARM and x86 is, or whether they have a 64 bit system. Hell, I wouldn’t even trust some users to accurately tell me what operating system they’re using.

This is a similar situation to mine. I tried running Linux on my work laptop, ran into too many issues that made it unreliable. Especially during business trips, when I really needed my laptop to work.

Not to mention that I still needed to use business tools that are only available on Windows. Redacting and signing PDFs in Acrobat, creating images for Windows machines (I’m also the IT department), Autodesk software, etc.

Windows + WSL allows me to get the best of both worlds, with all my Linux apps running alongside my Windows ones on the same hypervisor. I just wish they would support PCI device passthrough, as part of my job involves writing and debugging kernel drivers for some custom FPGA accelerators.

I mean, yeah. Reddit is so big that they don’t give a shit whether you use the platform or not. They can continue falsely banning thousands of people each day because their user base is so big that those lost users wouldn’t even be a rounding error.

Stop patronizing places that don’t give a shit about you beyond how much they can sell your data for.

Like it or not, the average person still sees Lemmy as a mostly homogenous platform. If they see “lemmy is full of tankies”, it’s not a good look. They don’t know how defederation works.

Judge him all you want but he tells it like it is

When I traveled across the world last year it took me 5 minutes to sign up for a temporary cell plan in the country I was visiting, then install the eSIM from my phone’s web browser. I didn’t have to plan ahead and wait for them to mail me a SIM card so I could juggle around SIMs while abroad. I much prefer that over a physical SIM card.

Brother, I’m sorry to say but I think you need to get out of that situation. Right now. I’ve been in a relationship like that and it never ends well.
