I think one of the Lemmy devs is German too

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

Could be just tactics. Remember the uproar the first time it was said threads would federate? Suddenly they were “not ready yet”.

Now in the second go, the idea got already normalized and there are more pro-meta comments. And they will stay silent and non-intrusive at the beginning.

Zuck is really big into early adaptation (metaverse i.e.), they see potential in the fediverse and their first objective is to be part of it, then grow with it and finally take advantage of it, once the time is right.

It’s really not a good thing that some people think the fediverse is going to go up in flames as soon as meta joins. That’s obviously not going to happen and sets wrong expectations that could lead to more acceptance.

They can get the data, but they need the federation so people see their content/advertisement.

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

How human of them.

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.
