Yeah exactly. Some airlines like American, Frontier and Spirit have seats as narrow as 16.5" (42cm).

And [it’s gotten worse after it got better for a while] (https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/feeling-cramped-battle-airline-seat), although the average American has only gotten bigger.

The only problem is that we need to change the behavior of about four billion people

You only need to know their names. Their ID matches their names to their faces.

First result on mojeek! Sounds like discovery of the site is great then

Tickets are issued to a name and are confirmed at entry with photo ID, just like with an airline ticket.

It’s interesting to me to see how people on Twitter and Reddit are so vocally opposed to any form of strikes. The recent strikes at Lufthansa are a great example of how consumers blame the personnel and completely side with management, even while executives are shamelessly paying themselves bonuses and increasing their salaries while the airline is grounded. It boggles the mind.

Maybe you had quadruple digits!

Sorry man. We don’t accept any of that talk here. Google and Microsoft are corporations and we don’t like those. It’s Linux all the way, no matter how horribly inconvenient that would be in practice.

Absolutely agreed on all points!

How have I made up a narrative? My premise from the start was the absurdity of dismissing the dangers of vehicle fires, and there’s data showing that a significant number of people die in EV fires. You’ve decided to argue that the deaths somehow matter less—that’s making up a narrative to justify your, frankly, ludicrous position.

I’m sure that if somebody you loved died in such an event and somebody came along telling you that you’re “an idiot” for having legitimate concerns, should be ignored and lumps you into a group of “disingenuous cunts,” you’d have a different perspective.

Narrowing down the relevant information from your otherwise interesting comment, we can conclude that, if the sources are accurate, Teslas on average are more unsafe in terms of fire safety than the most unsafe internal combustion engine vehicle ever manufactured.

I think it’s ludicrous to dismiss those concerns as “fucking bonkers” and that we “can ignore them.” New addition to this list is that we can evidently also generalize all those EVs deaths as being “due to driver error,” so I suppose good riddance? Not really sure what to make of that, but boy do these threads sure show the best of humanity.

Cool source. Ok, I’ll bite. The number of fire deaths in Teslas alone drawfs the number of fatalities in the infamous Pinto. The number is being tracked by volunteers because there’s no data from the NFPA or others that segments by EV vs ICE, but the number of highway vehicle fire deaths has been trending sharply upwards since 2016.

Ah, Lemmy. You never disappoint with sharing hilariously inaccurate information in comments!

They already do.

Hisense UR9 RGB, but note that the port is on the left bezel of the panel. Hopefully saved you a click.

What an ill-informed take. “The instant” in fact took several decades; between 8mm and DVD this was effectively the de facto format.

You’re absolutely right about how the grievances against the company should be factored in. You’ve formulated it very well and I entirely agree with you.

To be clear, what puzzles me about this community is the fervor you mention about Linux. In my own experience, and while giving Ubuntu the benefit of the doubt out of frustration with Windows, I personally found it to be exceedingly disappointing. I don’t think it’s fair to say that I’m among the lucky ones to have few issues with Windows, because distilling my experience with Linux, I might draw sweeping generalizations about Linux as a whole.

While I, too, encourage everybody to try Linux, I would caution them to set their expectations accordingly. In my opinion and experience, Linux is tailored towards an audience of users with more time to troubleshoot problems and a willingness to accept a lower quality bar (for a lack of better words) in exchange for distancing themselves from the corporation behind it.

To give some balance from my experience, I don’t recommend Ubuntu.

I’ve read and understood those concerns, hence my comments pointing out the contrast in my experience. In my case, Ubuntu was unable to accomplish what I needed it for and I returned to using Windows. I know this is a controversial position, because nobody wants to be supportive of a for-profit corporation, including me.

However, I try to separate criticisms of the corporation from my day to day needs and I feel misled by the community to go down a route to try switching to something that, in my very sincere opinion, was objectively a bad choice. I understand that many may disagree with me, and perhaps my specific choices were not the right ones, but I’d have wanted to hear some discourse and balance in opinions before I had wasted my time.

I honestly cannot relate to any of the points you’ve raised with Windows. Perhaps my experience here in Europe is somehow different? In any case, I hope somebody finds this comment to be more constructive input than an upteenth comment parroting that Windows is bad and everybody should just switch to Linux.

Seems I really struck a nerve. Again, it’s not my intention to put linux in a bad light. I’m just sharing my not-so -great-experience that returned me to Windows.
