There was a discussion on Facebook that Tesla was not started by #Musk, but by Martin #Eberhard and Marc #Tarpenning (2003-2008), and that Musk was the investor who got the company for his investment (and $8 million); and that Musk did nothing to make #Tesla what it is.
I disagreed like hell. I got a response of "but come on, he barely added anything technically!". And I wrote this reply.What has Elon Musk given us?
...no no no NO NO. Musk has added nothing of technical value. That's not the guy's superpower.
- He said he has a vision for the electric car. When everyone said it was stupid, impossible, no way, look around and wake up. Electric cars will never be sold or usable! He single-handedly created the residential electric car industry. Beat that.
- He put money in when it looked hopeless. A LOT of money. (In fact, he gathered a lot of it, by whatever means. By EVERY method he had.)
- He pushed money into the charging network when it seemed totally pointless in the short to medium term.
- He made a financial plan that was decades in the making (release the sports model, use it to pay for the high end model, use it to pay for the people's car at an absurd $35k).
- If the financial plan had been a bit optimistic he have topped it with excellent marketing pushing on all fronts, where the car became not just a status symbol, but a gadget. TOUCH SCREEN! In the car!!!! Cameras! IN CAR!!!! FREE CHARGING!!!!!1111oneoneONEONE
- He kept to the fact that it had to go, even though there were a few downhill slopes (and then there are some).
- He put personal energy into it, and a lot of that.
That's his superpower. That's what he put in. Because he's a narcissistic aggressive autistic asshole, and all of those are excellent superpowers for this particular task. He can't give up, he can push anyone down to do it and he does it no matter what anyone thinks, says or does.
What have Elon Musk ever done to us?

Facebookon volt egy vita, hogy a Teslát nem #Musk indította, hanem Martin #Eberhard és Marc #Tarpenning (2003-2008), és Musk a befektető volt, aki a befektetéseiért (és 8 millió dollárért) megkapta a céget; és hogy Musk nem tett semmit hozzá, hogy a #Tesla az legyen, ami.
Baromira nem értettem egyet. Kaptam egy választ, hogy „de hát ne már, műszakilag alig adott hozzá valamit!”. És erre írtam ezt a választ.Mit adott nekünk Elon Musk?
…nemnemnemNEMNEM.Musk nem adott hozzá műszaki értéket. Nem ez a csávó szuperképessége.

- Pénzt nyomott bele akkor is, amikor reménytelennek tűnt. SOK pénzt. (Sőt, szerzett egy csomót, tökmindegy, milyen módszerekkel. MINDEN módszerrel, amije csak volt.)
- Pénzt nyomott a kúthálózatba, amikor ez teljesen értelmetlennek tűnt rövid- és középtávon.
- Csinált egy olyan pénzügyi tervet, ami évtizedekre meg volt tervezve (kidobjuk a sportmodellt, ebből fizetjük a high end modellt, ebből fizetjük a népautót abszurd $35k áron).
- Ha a pénzügyi terv kissé optimista lett volna megtolta egy minden fronton nyomuló, kiváló marketinggel, ahol az autó nem csak státusszimbóleum lett, hanem egy bazi gadget. ÉRINTŐKÉPERNYŐ! Autóban!!! Kamerák! AUTÓBAN!!! INGYEN TÖLTÉS!!!!!4444NÉGYNÉGY

Chinese
Let me think out loud about this oriental style advertisement:
So first, it is emitting 10 million lumens, which is about the same as a 650 000 Watt (650 kW) incandescent light. That is 6250 pieces of 100 Watt bulb. It approximately need 112 kW LED emitters if you use common consumer grade ones.
Industry leader tech can emit 140 lm/W, even of those we'd need 71.4 kW (and 150 k pieces of them, which would require 7 m² area (which is about 40×40 bananas [40 square bananas] for USA people).Before we start to worry about the flashlight of the size of a medium room there is hope: this light uses only 800 Watts instead of 71 kW! Which is truly great Chinese technology, since it means they are using a LED emitter with 12500 lm/W performance! That is an instant Noble prize in physics, chemistry and politics! (Also taking the "industry leader" label, by far.)
So, what battery do we get? It is huge: 10 000 mAh! I mean, it is, well, at least, lots of zeroes.
So, LEDs use, say, 3 V, and the fwd current is about 750mA, and that gives us almost 3 watts. 800 Watts require 266 A, which is 266000 mA, so our battery will go flat in two minutes an 15 seconds.If they somehow mistaken that and the original wattage stands, 71.4 kW requires about 23800 A, which will empty the battery in 1.57 seconds. It is still great runtime, since you'll go blind in about the same time. Anyway.
Maybe a small but not unimportant problem is that drawing 266 ampers would probably explode the battery in a few seconds, and 28kA, well, it's probably the same as shorting it and watch the fireworks.
...which is probably not a problem, since generating the required light generates about 50 kW heat, which is about 100 times the power of a mobile room heater, or phrasing it another way, the LEDs will burn and explode in probably less than a second, much sooner than the battery would explode, depite that the "LED" is room sized.
So, for $30 it's a pretty good deal. I mean, if you're a soldier, for example, you can use it as an incendiary grenade. A room sized one, but battery driven! (And it can also charge your phone between destructions.)
If you're not then it's good for some Nobel prizes, or getting the campfire started, or possibly also the near forest.One thing it's not good for, unfortunately: you cannot use it as a flashlight.

Workout
Earlier this week, an ambulance was called to a man in his 60s in Budapest, Hungary because he was having difficulty breathing. Within minutes, the ambulance arrived on the scene and treated the patient, who weighed almost 170 kilos, and was expected to be taken to hospital. However, there were not enough paramedics to move the patient safely.
At this point, one of the paramedics remembered that they were parked across the street from a fitness centre. She quickly ran down to the gym where she told them they needed a little help. According to the report, the gym members immediately abandoned their workout and rushed to the paramedics' aid as a team.
The operation went so well that in the end, not only was the patient, who was fixed on a stretcher, carefully brought down from the fourth floor, but even the bags and instruments were not allowed to be taken down by the paramedics. The paramedics were thanked for their help and transported the patient to hospital in a stable condition.

Intolerance here around
Sometimes it is shocking how #intolerant people are here on #ActivityPub/#Mastodon.
Last week I was asked to respond to a divisive question and I [was asked to have] described how the intolerant people could interpret something (#lgbtq related) "the other way". I believe it was factual and politely phrased.
The next few hours resulted:
- four or five generic personal attacks, some quite impolite,
- about same amount of labels put on me ranging from nazi to queerphobian,
- 5 reports to my server ranging from "hate speech" through "racism" up to "queerphobia" as a description. (It is definitely telling, since they had so much hate that even failed to notice that I am my own server admin.) 3 of those were anonymous (sent in through a bot account).
All from random, uknown, uninvolved people. None of them understood the post, none of them was even open to understand how the people they fear think, none of them realised that their aggressive stance actually make neutral people stressed and angry and force them into a similarly aggressive defense loop, which results them being hated, in the long run. They've just seen something they didn't like from an unknown person and they didn't move on, didn't ignore it but started actively attacking.
Extremely close minded approach, even if they feel like, I don't know, hunted animals? But they see an attacker in every corner and they start to fight with about everyone not saying exactly what they wanted, even if it's just a quote, a description of a phenomenon or some mention within a discussion.
I am not really angry at them (while I get pretty annoyed when someone writes to me then blocks me, preventing any answer or reaction, but these people want to hear their own voice only), I'm just baffled at their extreme intolerance and short-sightedness, which is exactly the opposite of what they demand from others.
Well, business as usual.

@RPD0911 I have plenty of options. 🙂
I never was able to use twitter. I think I had less than a dozen tweets in my whole life. 😉
If you run your own server, you can migrate to the glitch-soc soft-fork, where you can set the limit to a considerably higher value, and still keep the rest of Mastodon.
You also get plenty of other nice goodies, like... drumroll Markdown formatted toots!
@tardis Way back when in my late teens, I was fascinated by weird philosophies and personalities and whatnot, so I asked myself how many personalities I have. I received one response, and 514 did not respond. So I concluded I have -513 personalities. As such, I am very much virtual, indeed. @grin 's observation is, therefore, correct. At least about me.
Also about glitch. But I have that contained.
@tardis For a long time I have been kept explaining people why the virtual "world" not just exists but it is actually very important for human interaction. I met almost all of my "good old friends" virtually, and chosen them by their thinking and expressive abilities, not by their, say, look, ethnicity or nationality. It works pretty well, meeting the "brain" of the people instead of their "body" first.
I hate "javascript" "ecosystem" with all that crap instability.
@grin@fika.grin.hu Pretty sure that yarn part is shared with Mastodon, though.
But then it's been a few years I ran it directly, I got fed up with javascript & ruby, so I just switched to running it in a container built by a CI, so I never have to deal with either of those again.

2023-12-19 - we have changed deps, we do not document it, and it works for us, if not, go guess what you have to do to make it work cos we won't tell ya. 🤦♂️

Recent breaking changes · Issue #2525 · glitch-soc/mastodon
This issue is here to document breaking changes, since we don't have releases. 2024-01-24 - 634acd0 (#2580) Last commit before the change: 915cd36 Logging format of the streaming server changed for...GitHub
Ah, that happened waaaay after I last built glitch-soc myself (early 2023, I think?), hence my impression that it had pretty much the same deps as masto. Sorry about that!
Some of the breaking changes listed there come from upstream masto, though. But it also acknowledges that glitch-soc has slightly different dependencies here and there.
Aaanyway, good find, I'll keep this issue bookmarked when I upgrade glitch-soc! It would have saved me ~10 minutes when applying today's security fix too (and I'm cheating by using pre-built containers).
git checkout masto/latest simply fixed the damn thing, luckily.
Someday I may try it in a clean env and see if it breaks.
I found that when it comes to Ruby or JS projects, trying to build them The Right Way is going to end up in a lot of lost sanity points, a bald head, and a lot of pain and sweat, all to admit defeat in the end.
If I see a Ruby or JS project nowadays, I slowly back away, then run. If I can't, I'll punt it into a messy container and just sweep all the dirt under the carpet and pretend it's not there.

In fact even storing the URLs and state required plenty of memory which mobile devices aren't very rich of, but hats off anyway.

How to explain corruption to Germans
"In the meantime, however, we have been hit by a shoddy toilet built to steal EU development money and cheap world market loans, so it is questionable whether we have the money to buy so many locomotives, but the job has been entrusted to János Lázár, who for some reason seems to think that Siemens is not corrupt enough.
If you want to explain the corruption in Hungary to a German, you just have to say that not even Siemens is corrupt enough for the Hungarian government, and they will understand everything."
The bartender gets pretty angry:
- Canned beer? Why do you want me to serve you canned beer? And ten?

A: Carl Sagan was one of the world's most well-known astrophysicists and scientists. He was the one who created the television series "Cosmos," which explored the mysteries of the universe.
One day, while visiting the White House, Carl spotted Donald Trump, the President of the United States. Carl got an idea and decided to play a trick on him.
First, Carl asked Trump if he could name the smallest planet in our solar system. Trump confidently declared that he could, because he was "the smartest president in the history of the United States."
Carl just chuckled and explained that the smallest planet in the solar system is Pluto, which has not been classified as a planet since 2005. Trump's face showed shock as he realized he had been tricked.
Carl continued to playfully tease Trump, telling him about the mysteries of the stars and galaxies. Trump just stared at the expert, feeling like he simply couldn't understand how the universe worked.
Finally, Carl said goodbye to Trump and returned to his own world, where the mysteries of the stars and science awaited him. Trump, on the other hand, decided to stay out of the universe's business and return to his own world, where Twitter and politics reigned supreme.

Plugins not working after a while?
I noticed that I do have a smiley button plugin active except it doesn't. And probably most of the active plugins doesn't.
I Disabled then Enabled it at it started working again.

Turned out that piwik plugin crashed on some random error (Uncaught Exception TypeError: "Argument 2 passed to piwik_analytics() must be of the type array, string given), but it suggests that somehow plugins were not used at all for a long time now. 🤷
I usually think php stuff as "immediately effective" since it always reloads and reparses everything. That was a refreshing blow not to trust even this.

Merci, Oh, et magnifique cette version live. 😍
I have the same feeling about "social" media (with a reaaally smaller audience) : it's on the Fediverse that most people react and write comments about my comics, and I love it
Thanks for sharing this and your other work and thanks for being a part of the Fediverse! Congrats on 15K
P.S.: my girlfriend wanted me to comment that she also finds this piece really adorable :)

Oh Krita user? Nice! When you post future artworks, don't forget to add krita and/or mastoart hashtag here; I always enjoy to browse this and I'm not alone. ☺️
To be fair, I had no merit in this one; the reference I had to parody this famous scene from My Neighbor Totoro had almost all resolved: light, composition, etc... https://www.hdwallpaper.nu/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/my_neighbor_totoro-3.jpg
Also, the view angle is pretty 'staged' and perspective flat. That's why I could bypass drawing. You'll find the process here: https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/109361697116548131

The speed comes with time, removing bit by bit what's unnecessary and building automatism for part of the process.
You don't need to paint with a clock or anything to increase it, it just build up with practice and time, IMO. Having a webcomic with life around and deadline for sure really made me reconsider my time budget on each panel 😅
Posting low res, check high res on original toot.
No problem! Take your time playing with the option, it takes a little time to get used. Welcome here.

Is there a better client for mobile, or is Friendica best left to browsers? Or should I just use Tusky for both?

It's part of my testing/experimentation. Try comic with a low time/production/panel budget, this way I'll probably learn to make smaller Pepper&Carrot episodes, because I was expanding them so much on the last year they became unmanageable to produce. I'll write more about this on a blog next week. I'm learning how to find 6 pages " a comfortable device to storytell complex things". ☺️TL;DR: DeviantArt created an art generator called DreamUp based on Stable Diffusion, and art uploaded by the site’s users will be used for training unless they opt out.

Lot of truth in that. Yet, Genghis actually have built a pretty stable empire, and didn't actually destroyed the world. Same may go with the Osman empire, who actually have killed plenty of people yet have built a rather carefully designed public service system.
Musk gave us the electric cars, that's a truly big thing. He helped to build the first working public space company, that's another.
He also have destroyed Twitter, which is comparably a minor thing. And wasted a lot of money on Hyperloop, whores, booze, and vanity. Those are relevant, but still comparably small change or effect to the world as a whole.
He may cause a lot of trouble for the next 4 years, or he may not, I do not know. I wouldn't trust him with a broken pot either, but he's probably not evil, just couldn't care less about people, when he's bound to finish something.... That may be good if he's up to good -- and may be pretty bad if he's going in that direction.
