last month, it was `valleyletter.com` that kept spamming me at work with their stupid fash newsletter

now it is `bayareatimes.com`

i'm just going to keep blocking these domains and they can explain to their mail provider why their bounce rate is 100% when mailing my employer

@eri didn’t even blur out the passenger speedometer

there are professional ultimate frisbee players???

ah i see, bcachefs is the new reiserfs apparently: https://www.patreon.com/posts/116412665

(hans used to be difficult in basically the exact same ways as kent. maybe he is a brilliant and talented developer, it seems that way. but i can’t see myself trusting his filesystem with the way he handles himself on LKML.)

all of this to say, i await the true crime youtube episode involving this EV charger copper theft issue

@chrisisgr8 they were also required to call it “full self-driving (supervised)” in washington. this fucks up the UI in interesting ways

ah yes, quora sending me transphobic propaganda yet again.

apparently this time the chinese think that americans are stupid because of all this gender stuff.

sounds plausible at first until you’ve actually worked with chinese folks in china. i can assure you none of them give a single shit about whatever culture war is happening in the US.

“it does not make your vehicle autonomous. do not become complacent.” and other sentences the state of washington makes tesla say about their self-driving technology

@NireBryce maybe, but the answer is sadly simpler. i have seen tweakers just walk up to cars that were plugged in and take limb loppers to the cable.

and i’ve also seen vandalized tesla chargers. but tesla seems on top of repairing them at least.

@mathiasx @AlgoCompSynth i think @Elizafox is up for this one

@NireBryce copper theft?

frankly i question if it’s even worth it. by the time you’ve stripped the charging cable down to raw copper, you’ve probably spent quite a bit of time.

and no scrapyard is going to let you just drop a CCS1 charging cable on their desk or whatever, they will know it’s stolen right away…

at least here in seattle, EA chargers are frequently “online” but vandalized (and thus not usable) by idiots trying to steal the copper

evgo is not much better, they can install chargers quickly but repairing vandalized ones takes months

tesla seems to have the fastest turnaround on repairing broken chargers, but the people vandalizing the chargers also seem to leave the tesla ones alone. maybe the branding of their DCFC product communicates to them that they should leave it alone

@RustedComputing oh yes, but that’s the thing, everyone’s power is out on the east side, so nobody can charge at home

though to be honest any time i have to deal with electrify america i question if chewing glass will have a more useful payoff

(the other charging networks have the same situation going on)

all the east siders have come to clog up our charging infrastructure because, presumably, they couldn’t be bothered to charge up before the mesocyclone…

@JessTheUnstill prepare to be disappointed

@kit_ty_kate this one came directly from loongson, hasn’t filtered out to the aliexpresses yet

@grumpybozo i think i will be nice, they sent me preproduction hardware
