“Hysteria”, that’s one way to belittle people.

Done! Never did before, but I guess the headline had the right effect.

I’m supposed to be getting Linux tips from this guy?

No, this is Linus Sex Tips not Linux Tech Tips!

Ireland is probably is a nice country to live in, but it’s pretty ironic recommending it to someone wanting to come to the EU because of its regulations on big companies.

Ireland costs other countries 16bn a year by allowing those companies to evade taxes in the EU.

Valid opinion and immutable distros like silverblue might be where the future is headed.

It’s not the point though, I’m not going with a distro that tries to force their proprietary solution on me.

How human of them.

Especially because Steve said “auctioned” and not “sold”. Nice strawman, same as his “bad journalism” take. It only leads the discussion away from the allegations.

But you can’t base a fact on one accident. Or even multiple. What if newspapers like to write especially about Tesla accidents to generate clicks?

Teslas seemingly have a lot of accidents, but without checking the statistics and comparing it to other manufacturers you wouldn’t really know if the perceived truth is a fact or not.

You made the first comment: “Teslas aren’t safe”, without providing proof.

And now you’re calling someone a hypocrite because he asks for data of exactly what you claimed, while you’re redefining your first argument as “the contrary”.

So, do you have proof that Tesla’s aren’t safe in comparison to other cars, or is it just your opinion?

My opinion:

• Framework has a good track record and I would give them the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. (Concerning upgradeability)

• laptops are getting more and more powerful and I like the idea of treating them similar to a desktop

• as a ThinkPad user you probably know how popular especially old ThinkPads are, because of the ability to mod them

• you might buy a new laptop every few years but the point above proves that there will be people interested in a second hand laptop, therefore reducing waste

• there will always be a market for good quality and customer friendly products and the existence of framework is great for competition (for the end user)

• they support the open source mentality, even tried to help to bring coreboot to their laptops. Even though that failed they’re keeping an eye on openSIL

• overall I’m more of Linux instead of Windows, FOSS instead of corporate closed software, Lemmy instead of reddit and framework/system76/… instead of Lenovo/… kind of person. I see it partly as a fight for “freedom” if you so will.
