Unfortunately this is chump change to them, they’re trying to either get blood from a stone or hope that you’re so integrated with slack that you literally can’t switch and pony up the cash. You’d probably get to their rep’s manager at most, if they even have a rep at all.

So they get a slap on the wrist and have learned nothing.

I expected as much, but it still fucking sucks that anti-trust is still as toothless as ever.

I’d argue this is more c/orphancrushingmachine but okay…

If you’re wondering, I’d like to not be driving a Tesla. But it’s paid off, worth basically nothing in resale, and I got it as a CPO with free charging and autopilot for life. It costs Tesla money to keep it.

Honestly just put a bunch of anti-Elon bumper stickers on your car and keep it until the battery shits the bed, it will be worth more as scrap metal. It’s costing you nothing and actively costing Tesla something.

I get the stigma of having a Tesla, but some people did in fact buy it before Elon’s fascist tendencies were widely known. Its the people who buy one now after knowing how much more of a piece of shit he is that piss me off (like one of my neighbors who got a Tesla recently).

If you have a Cybertruck though, fuck you, I hope your $100k+ death trap bursts into flames after a slight pothole taking you with it. Your car is actively making the roads less safe and you knew who you were buying it from.

So fun fact about that quote,

It wasn’t actually said by Voltaire, it was actually originally from a neo-nazi named Kevin Strom who pled guilty to possession of child pornography.

If you want a deeper dive into this guy Molly Conger did one on her podcast Weird Little Guys. It’s the “Do We Really Need to Talk About Kevin?” Episode.

Yes.

Yes and no, its an official release, but basically these are “We think this issue is resolved or this new feature is ready”. The GrapheneOS team does a gradual rollout to prevent causing people issues (since people literally can live out of their phones).

Alpha channel users get it, if they don’t notice any issues roll it out to beta channel users, if no issues found in the wider beta users, roll out to stable.

Basically it prevents a bug from being pushed out to everyone and causing headaches for the devs. You can’t know everyone’s use case so by having a smaller number of users who are expecting breakage you can find bugs or showstoppers early before it lands on a more nontechnical users device.

Are you on the stable branch? Graphene does roll outs slowly (alpha->beta->stable), once the changes have been proven stable they get pushed out to everyone. Judging by the fact the devs have been pushing releases, the changes aren’t stable enough for prime time. It happens.
