Talking about dogging a bullet...

I wanted to take back control over my emails so recently I started to look long and hard at ProtonMail, Infomaniak (kMail), Mailbox.org, and others. In the end, I chose mailbox.org. I could have been really annoyed right now given how painful updating accounts/credentials and account migration are!

That investment is converted by fossil fuel companies in running propaganda campaigns, sponsoring fallacious researches proving the benefits of clean coal and other nonsensical bs, lobbying authorities to build more roads (that induce more traffic, more pollution, more jams, etc.)

So yes, investors are partly responsible.

We are far from the simple supply-demand your comment suggests..

You mean if I buy a stolen TV I actively participate in motivating the TVs to be stolen? If that's the case, they should make it illegal to buy stolen TV in the first place (hint: it is illegal)

Fatal crash risks are pretty low when doing laps in a car park :)

Joke aside, this is an interesting article. I wonder what the chances would be for a human driver to avoid the crashes in the circumstances described in the article (if at all). Clearly autonomous vehicles are passive by design in those situations.

Point is Tesla doesn't sell cars, they sell an experiment.

Your TV doesn't propel you at 70mph with brakes not responding (https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/tesla-cybertruck-malfunction-drive...), or brakeing whenever it feels like it (https://www.cdr-news.com/categories/litigation/tesla-hit-wit...) or runs you into a wall (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/apr/26/tesla-aut...), the list goes on.

When my TV glitches, nobody dies... ever...

Tesla is using customer as guinea pigs. They don't care if you die, the paperwork says they are not liable for whatever happens. Rest assured they'll learn from your demise and they'll update their software with another experiment that might be less lethal this time, who knows!

Same here, I live in the UK and I will not renew my membership. I have about 1.5 T worth of photos store for "free" on Amazon Photos and it was an absolute pain to reclaim possession of those files but, now that I am nearly done, I think it is time to spend locally and stop funnelling money to big tech for a false sense of convenience.
