You see, but you do not observe.

Apparently Yaccarino was a known trumper before Elon hired her… not exactly a surprise for me, but a bit surprised that she doesn’t seem to go near politics at all. Stealth trumper

Good news guys! Elon’s scraped-together department of moderation finally shut down the account of a literal out-and-proud-nazi

Jesus loving Christ Elon's extremely stupid poo poo has spread. Meta just informed me that if I wanted my band insta to be verified I needed to start paying $52 a month.

Funnily enough I don't think Zuckerberg's reality distortion field is as powerful as Musk's so I'm looking forward to a class action lawsuit resolving this hilariously.

Yeah, you just need to convince the rest of the world. I have a standalone website. Arts grants, labels, distributors, etc don't give a gently caress about it's traffic stats. They don't even care about Spotify plays, Bandcamp Sales, whatever. Followers is the only metric that matters, because people are dumb as poo poo.

in a previous band about a decade ago I spent $100 on fake twitter followers to secure $10,000 in arts funding.

I legit think that a big part of Tesla's value is everyone knew that every other car maker's infotainment system was utter garbage and Tesla's was not complete garbage and that has stuck in people's minds.

Now everyone has an acceptable to great infotainment system and no one has been able to process yet that Tech Genius Elon Musk has one of the worst infotainment systems in the auto industry now, but everyone understands that they are going to have to use one constantly to control almost every function of the car so they just assume Tesla's is still good.

I'm extremely skeptical of the position that cars have too much screen stuff these days, there are just to many settings that we have demanded out of modern cars.

If anything I would argue that cars don't have enough screen and cram too much information in too little space.



This, seems, pretty empirically NOT GOOD.



This seems, like, not ideal but also not WTF have you ever driven a car before?

I rode in a friend's model 3 and another problem with Tesla's screen is that everything in the UI is done in medium shades of gray. There's not nearly enough contrast.

I was trying and failing to figure out how to adjust the A/C temperature on my side, until finally I noticed the light gray up/down arrows on a white background that were almost lost in the glare from the sun.

It makes more sense when you understand that a tesla is meant for 1-5 passengers and 0 drivers, lol that their entire car design is based on assuming actual self drive when they've been left in the dust by competent engineers at other companies

God drat that could be true but I think it's more because Elon wants everything to be different from traditional cars even though almost all that poo poo is the way it is for a reason
