I see comments like this about EVs all the time but it just isn't my experience at all. I've never in my life charged for an hour at a DC fast charger. On most EVs, you'll see a 15-30 minutes for 0-80% charge but you don't have to charge above 60% where the charge rate usually slows significantly. For instance, a 10-60% charge on my car takes about 10 minutes and that gets me close to 150 miles of range. All of this assumes you don't have access to level 2 or even level 1 charging. If you do, then you'd never need to go out of your way to charge.

I quite enjoy MacOS but they are way more likely to break backwards compatibility than Microsoft. I would argue that one of Microsoft's biggest problems with Windows is that they don't break compatibility often enough. The engineering effort they put into maintaining support for archaic software is pretty immense.

This is nothing new. Windows 10 will be 10 years old at that point. They’ve done paid extended service for several previous windows versions. I don’t like Windows or Microsoft. I run Linux or MacOS where I can but I can’t fault them for supporting an OS for 10 years.

Yes I have and I think they're fair. $14/mo for Youtube + Youtube Music vs $11/mo for Spotify.

Use “site:lemmy.world” or any other website, without the quotes.

I get it that people don’t like Elon. I don’t either, but I’ve gotta say the Tesla Model Y is my favorite car I’ve owned. I’ve owned 7 or so cars at this point.

I’d rather not own it at this point for Elon/political reasons but it isn’t because of the car itself.

There aren’t alternatives is my part of the USA due to lack of charging options. That is changing now that Tesla’s network is opening up but that hasn’t happened yet.

In my experience the main issue are configuration conflicts not package issues. They're usually just annoying issues not breaking issues.

I was starting to think I was the only person around here that wasn’t falling for conspiracy theories.

I work in the physics world and I am continually surprised by how dumb smart people can be, especially if ego is involved.

Issue seems to be a server problem. If you keep trying you'll eventually get in.

I've done my share of distro hopping and I must agree with [email protected].

Fedora has the near perfect balance of being stable and always up to date. I found the codecs and non-free software to be a non-issue. You enable the RPM Fusion repos and install then like anything else.
