    Finally pulled the plug on twitter. What a festering shithole. No matter how hard I tried to train my algorithm to give me music and football, I kept getting vile shit, most recently some Hitler apologetics.

    Anyways, done with it.

    It’s really amazing how the Twitter landscape has changed. Check the comments under some commonly left leaning tweets or accounts. Like Greta Thunberg or news about people protesting against war or for the environment. 80% of the comments are extremely hostile and many look like bots. I wonder when this is actively starting to influence elections

    Yesterday I reactivated my facebook to download some old pictures I had no backup from. I was instantly greeted with some ai generated images that lead to pages opposing in political agenda. Before deactivating facebook some years ago I used a script to unfollow everything so these suggestions are really fuelling the empty internet theory. Especially as boomers and bots can’t see the difference. I don’t plan to do anything with facebook anytime in the future but it was nice to see that it’s almost as fucked up as twitter. It feels like you return to your hometown after some years and the whole town is reenacted by robots as no one is living there anymore. They should do this in malls as well

    Tesla Model 3 Traps TikToker Inside 115-Degree Car During A Software Update

    Tesla warns owners that opening their doors or windows while installing a software update could damage the vehicle, so she stayed put

    A TikToker got locked inside of her Tesla Model 3 for 40 minutes in the hot sun while it was installing a software update, and as of this writing her video has over 10.7 million plays after a single day of being online. Before you go jumping to conclusions about her ineptitude, Brianna Janel was actually following the rules laid out by Tesla.

    According to the Tesla owner’s manual, “Vehicle functions, including some safety systems and opening or closing the doors or windows, may be limited or disabled when installation is in progress and you could damage the vehicle.” Janel chose to heed Tesla’s warning and did not attempt to open her doors or windows during the installation process for fear of damaging her vehicle, but this seems like a very dangerous oversight on Tesla’s part that she was able to be stuck inside at all.


    The door mechanisms on the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are electrically operated, and under normal circumstances are opened from the inside using a simple button to unlatch the door. Should the vehicle have no power, these models do have auxiliary manual cable release levers also found on the door panel, but Tesla warns against using the manual mechanism, citing that it should only be used when the car has no power. Janel said she was aware of this option but didn’t want to risk damaging her car, and she felt confident that she could stick out the heat.


    In contrast to Tesla’s potentially dangerous warnings, Lucid Motors requires all occupants to exit the vehicle before the installation process begins, and the Lucid Air owners manual states that owners will not be able to lock or unlock the doors during an update. The Air will start a two-minute countdown when an owner chooses to install an update, giving them enough time to get out prior to the update beginning.

    The Tesla owners manual states that the car will not initiate a software update if Keep Climate mode, Dog Mode, Sentry Mode or Camp Mode are engaged, but it fails to require vehicle occupants to exit the vehicle before the debilitating installation process begins. Tesla also recommends owners install software updates as soon as possible, which could cause some owners to feel obligated to initiate an update in a compromised environment.


    Janel said her car estimated the install would only take 24 minutes, but it actually took 40 minutes, which was long enough for her car’s interior to reach 115 degrees. In a follow-up video, her caption states that she was afraid to mess up her car by getting out during the installation. She claims to have owned a Tesla for six years, and she said she will continue to own her car for many years, despite this experience.


    Tesla needs to either require that all occupants exit the vehicle before beginning a software install, or at least alter its verbiage to prevent incidents like this from occurring, especially as we approach a summer with higher global temperatures than ever before. If someone living in a town like Phoenix, Arizona or Las Vegas, Nevada were to face the same situation, it could pose a more serious health risk. If there are any Tesla owners reading, please make sure you are not parked in direct sunlight when you initiate a software update if you are going to remain in the car.

     

    its like a smartphone update but you are stuck inside while it happens :cisfor:

    What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

    I recently installed No Rest For the Wicked and immediately noticed the clunky controls. Within just three minutes of gameplay, I found myself stuck behind a table, unable to clear the first obstacle after two failed attempts at jumping it. At this point I had to reload and start from an earlier save slot but was not able to get into the system menu.

    I am considering requesting a refund, something I've never done before for any purchase on Steam throughout the platform's history.

    Additionally, there are minor issues from the outset, such as feeling somewhat lost and the lack of meaningful character customization beyond minor facial features. The tutorial also leaves much to be desired; it's unclear and ineffective. For example, your character can punch at all kind of things from the beginning, but it's not apparent whether the characters you see are people to talk to or enemies to punch at. Most do not react at all.  Then later you're asked to fetch food for someone, but you can also eat it yourself, which then disappears, leaving you uncertain whether you were supposed to save it for the person who requested it or if it's acceptable to consume it yourself. The game does not provide clear guidance in any way and doesn't see to care.

    You can use DuckDuckGo or even google for the unimportant queries and leave kagi for the more advanced ones then you will never pass the 100 free search queries. I am currently paying for it and it’s really worth it. Also regarding free internet principles: google is not free you are paying with your data

    Use DuckDuckGo on Firefox with some form of ad blocking because fuck giving google even more of your data.

    Use Kagi. 100 search requests are free then it costs 5 bucks a month but the search results are so much better than google as they block all these seo spam blogs google has on top of their results most of the time. You can also block certain domains from the results 

    https://kagi.com

    the results on DuckDuckGo always where subpar to google. Kagi is actually better then google
