@benroyce I said disreputable not legendary.

Ok new rule, products of subsidiaries of nasty tech companies get referred to by the most disreputable name in the structure, not their branding.

They're not Waymo robotaxis. They're Google robotaxis.

It's not Whole Foods Market. It's Amazon Foods Market.

It's not Meta Glasses. It's Facebook Glasses.

@bane @rysiek SimpleX is a known-nazi project. Delta is sus too tho iirc. Use Cwtch or VeilidChat.

@botolo86 @hacks4pancakes Same features like lack of door handles so you can die a fiery death?

@botolo86 @hacks4pancakes Teslas weren't technically shit because other EVs had "better performance or features".

They were shit because they intentionally broke all kinds of quality and safety norms and regulations in the "move fast and break things" mentality.

Everyone who wasn't fawning on Elon's masturbatory techno-futurist narrative knew this.

@botolo86 @hacks4pancakes You absolutely did not "buy a Tesla before Musk went crazy" (let's say nazi not crazy, ok? cos that's what you mean and it's not cool equating that with a mental health problem) because he's always been this. Folks who didn't see that were purposefully looking the other direction. And Teslas have always been the most technically shit EVs out there. The only reason to buy one was being in the Elon fan club.
