  • You seem perfectly ok with assumptions… Unless they don’t benefit you

    Like, calling them all terrorists (there are literally people in the military who are entirely support roles and may go to war but never shoot a gun). You also assume the title is correct, whereas, it didn’t take much to realise its likely wrong.

    And yeah, thats coming from a leftie Australian who hates Trump and only knows 2 people in the military (one was an asshole who I didn’t get along with, and another is a cleaner in the navy)…

    But, well, maybe you HAVE volunteered? So what have you done to volunteer all those victims of the “terrorists”, you are so passionate about? If its nothing, then you’re on par with him still

    Depends on your needs. If there are packages for everything you need, thats fine. Also, its fine if you don’t mind going to the sites and downloading directly. I have a few packages which are easier to use on flathub though.

    I also find Gnome Software centre and discover are a lot cleaner than Ubuntu’s software used for package management.

    Ubuntu these days has 15 years of software support though.

    Both are fine in practice.

    My only issue with Ubuntu is that snap feels fairly clunky. That’s why I moved to fedora. Also, definitely worth looking at pop os. But, all of them come down to personal preference

    I think these days, Linus Torvalds moved to fedora


  • I don’t have a tesla, but It’s not likely going to slam the brakes, and valet mode will likely be shown to the driver so they know its enabled (Tesla likely thought of that). Furthermore, it IS a protected function. It’s not like its exposed, and not a normal situation where someone abuses it. But, it is a good point

    Again though, I have experience with highly abusive people.

    Someone who ended up LITERALLY decapitated threatened me, and told me ex “he knows where I live”. I had someone swerve at me when driving, and it turned out to be an ex of the girl I was dating. And, I’ve been given the “don’t XXX or else…” talk too by 2 people (one in my own home, and he seemed proud of himself until I managed to get the parties kicked out). When I was swerved at, I thought it was someone on their phone, I just happened to show the woman. I still wonder if one day I found a fence post nailed to the tree outside was one of them

    These abusers DO NOT GIVE A SHIT IF YOU’RE DRIVING A TESLA, THEY WILL FIND ANOTHER WAY TO ABUSE PEOPLE, to terrorise them, and try to make their lives miserable!!! The full extent of this abusers efforts may not actually be known (they were likely only busted for 1 or 2 things).

    There already is a lot of protection on these functions. Removing one, will just cause them to use another.

    Trust me… When we removed Find my phone access from these people, we BELIEVE he possibly put a GPS tracker on her car instead, as he messaged still at weird times when she was clearly with me. These guys will always find ways to abuse others, through every possibility.


  • More abuse…

    Still completely overlooking the abuser… Just apparently using this as an excuse to attack people (in this case, Elon, and now me)…

    Again, even if the car couldn’t be controlled by mobile, similar things would have happened still… Again, I’ve been threatened at least 3x in real life (one was a serious threat. The guy ended up getting decapitated actually, which indicates the kind of person they were). The most they could do was limit speed, and its clear that Valet mode wasn’t designed for that purpose. They can’t press the accelerator, move the wheel, etc (as you keep implying)

    And yes, those same people always needed to assert authority in every statement too…




  • Sounds like you’re blaming Elon, not the person doing the abuse. Technically, the driver ONLY had access. The problem was, she was conned by the abuser into giving him access too.

    You’re trying to phrase it in a way that is bullshit honestly… Like handing over your computer credentials and then whining “only the user should be able to access the system”. Yeah, the user did… Until you gave them access.

    The level of the control they had remotely was limited. They weren’t turning the wheel. And even the claim that slowing the car down to lower speeds is causing safety issues honestly, is a fairly sketchy one…

    Yes, I hate Elon too… But, sounds like you’re more upset at Elon, than the abusive asshole… This is ENTIRELY the abusive assholes fault.

    You don’t need to buy a car with connectivity, but that won’t stop abusive shitheads from messing with your car (i’ve been threatened 3-4x seriously in my life). Trust me


  • I hate Elon, but, this is quite clearly the fault of the abusive partner, NOT Tesla, which is why the partner is in deep shit

    It’s not like it was open access for everyone in public to change those settings, and those features clearly weren’t intended for that purpose. A good example is a baseball bat. Yes it could be used for crime, but its not the primary purpose… If they sold them with nails at the end though, the manufacturer would clearly be partially to blame.

    If he wasn’t controlling her car, it likely would have been different abuse (gps tracker on the car). Unfortunately, we have more s**theads here in Australia than most other countries. And, most of the time it’s thanks to Murdoch media and facebook making people feel unhappy, play victim, etc.

    Hopefully, the new laws against facebook get introduced, and it stops a lot of the ragebait that have made people like this worse.

    And yes, I dated someone whose ex-partner basically stalked her, until we realised. We can’t blame apple because he used “find my phone”
