This 'news article' from OP is just some dudes one-man show blog, and looking through a few articles they seem to dislike all EVs not just Teslas. Absolutely garbage source, I'm not surprised you found errors.
Um yeah I just perused the source website and agree. It's got an obvious anti-EV bias in both article sections, headlines and interpretations of data. The only author they seem to have for all their 'news articles' is a person that doesn't even have the guts to sign off with their real name, instead using the alias 'Kay Leadfoot'. They don't even have an 'about' page, just a contact form.
This is just the blog of some dude that hates EVs. Hot garbage source.
Check the comments, 75% of the people here don't believe the simple fact that the Democrats have not had a supermajority to pass such an amendment since 1979, 30 years before the infamous Citizens United win at the Supreme Court became the current interpretation of law.
They don't know that the legislation discussed in this post has been brought to vote multiple times by Democrats over the years under different names, and that this is just the latest instance.
They just want to complain that Democrats 'don't do anything good when they have power, and wont even try when they know they cant win' - handwaving away reality.
No, he did not. But it is a common Republican talking point.

Wtf are you on about. Nazi Germany was overwhelmingly a Christian state. 54% protestant, 38% Catholic in 1939 census. Their plan was to eradicate themselves? No, the end goal was to create their own form of Nazified Christianity that would answer to the Nazi government. The Protestand Reich Church was their attempt at this.
They had no problem with Christians because they almost all were Christian themselves, they just wanted to remove power from the pre-existinf churches (Pope etc) by placing a new church under their own hierarchy.
A hallucination is a false perception of sensory experiences (sights, sounds, etc).
LLMs don't have any senses, they have input, algorithms and output. They also have desired output and undesired output.
So, no, 'hallucinations' fits far worse than failure or error or bad output. However assigning the term 'hallucinaton' does serve the billionaires in marketing their LLMs as actual sentience.
Everyone knew the Republicans 'hands' back before the federal election too - they haven't suddenly switched their platform or policies. Nothing has changed. You make it sound like there was vaguery in the leadup?
Just a whole lotta rubes who voted for Republicans after listening to people like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk are finally having the penny drop that they've been conned.
Gosh, if only someone had told them once or twice in the last decade that Donald Trump is a multiple-convicted world famous conman and fraud. Damn Democrats!
The last time they could have made a constitutional amendment was when they had a supermajority in 1979. Two decades before Citizens United existed - but, go off.
Maybe if they tried to pass stuff repeatedly that they knew would fail, and certainly be painted in the majority right-wing mainstream media as incompetence - the swing voters who are largely poorly politically informed (according to polls) would somehow see these failures as reason to vote for them more? I like your optimism there but it runs contrary to history
It would fail the vote either way, as a constitutional amendment requires a supermajority vote - and there has not been a supermajority in the Senate since 1979. Which was the last time the Democrats successfully put through an amendment, before anyone further complains they do nothing with power when they get it.
Depending on how jaded you are this is either a stunt, or the particular (left-leaning?) Democrats involved in tabling the legislation are trying to raise the issue their constituents have asked them to. Either way it'll force the Republicans to show their hand and all vote against it.
I think these polls are bullshit. The same gen Z kids who voted Trump after being brainwashed for years watching Rogan, Shapiro, etc rail on DEI, trans, 'wokeism' and 'open borders' haven't suddenly changed their opinion once Trump's started enacting policies that aim to enact those goals.
These kids just recognize how unpopular these actions are in the wider community and are lying to pollsters now. It's virtue signalling. They'll continue to vote right-wing imho
Nah man. Windows 10 was full of telemetry from day 1. It was the first version of Windows that hid away the ability to even use a local-only login, trying to push every user onto a MS account for that sweet tracking and advertising dollar.
They even gave the OS away for free - absolutely unthinkable to 90s/2000s era Microsoft, now why would that have changed?
Pushing the users to their cloud offerings for those that they can tempt, and tracking, profiling, advertising for every user. From conception.
If you think Bluey lowers kids intelligence or "separates the individual from other individuals" then you've never watched Bluey.
It's a great resource for teaching emotional intelligence to kids and empathises the importance of quality time with family. I don't think you could have picked a worse children's TV show example.
I can't understand would it even have the part in parentheses in Europe. Think how silly it would look if every location had the regional name for every nearby country added in parentheses after the primary global name. It would be a mess.
Eg:
Germany (Deutschland, Allemagne, Niemcy, Germania, Saksa, <etc>
Feels to me like special rules Apple has to stroke special fascist egos.
But maybe its not Apple and this is a name set by your local governance. You mind if I ask what country Apple maps you're looking at?
Yeah hero worship happens everywhere I agree. I just said it's far more common in the right wing communities, not that it's exclusive to them
You're in a blog memes community dude. It's literally all screenshots of blog posts idk what you expect other than like.. screenshots of noteworthy peoples social media posts and related memes.
I actiallyvthink the open source community (and wider programming in general) are very proactive in calling out and speaking out against poor behaviour among their community leaders and peers. Just off the top of my head I can think of:
- PolyMC dev who came out stating he is very against queers and leftists. Rest of his dev team goes "OK bye" and forks the project. Their project, Prism MC now has more than 3* the stars on GitHub as the original project, indicating much larger userbase and following.
- The developer of the most popular game of all time, Minecraft, Markus Persson (Notch) made a number of posts on Twitter that were your standard anti-feminist, anti-trans, pro-white alt-lite chud crap, and this enormously popular billionaire is now persona non grata in the Minecraft community and unwelcome even by Microsoft.
The problem you allude to (blind hero worship) is really a far more common occurrence amongst the right wing, because as conservatives they seek to preserve existing structures of power and tradition above all else. Leftists seek egalitarianism. These two ideas are incompatible which is the whole reason they're branded as opposing ends of the political spectrum.
Atheism includes both those that passionately disagree that gods exist and those that simply do not believe in deities. So you hate both people that believe in deities (religion), and all atheists. I guess you left out non-religious non-theist's.. People who don't believe in theism but have some kind of pagan belief system.
That's a very small ellipsis of the Venn diagram you're carving out of people you don't hate.
Crystal girls that list 'spiritual but not religious' on their Tinder?
I agree with the sentiment that Trump is incapable of self-reflection. But I doubt that the writer of the article wrote the headline - that's usually the editor's job I think.
The writer didn't mention him regretting or reflecting on anything once in the article. So the anger in your comment seems a bit misplaced.
The writer is one of those people standing up for what's right - she's pointing out some of the lasting damage being done behind the scenes and out of the scope of the average person's awareness.
You're probably right, but I hope you're wrong.
If you're wrong it'll mean a lot more people moving to OSS and Fediverse networks, which would be a very positive outcome
Just look at who is in the White House, mate - and not just the president, but basically you can pick anyone he's hand-picked for his staff.
Surely that's an instant cure for any qualified person feeling imposter syndrome in their job.
