I discovered https://armada.buzz/ running on Nostr just yesterday. It looks like pretty damn good replacement for Discord/Slack. Anyone here using it?

Give me Edge 60 Neo with graphene and I’d be happy. Small, good battery, good screen, ok-ish camera, nothing else needed.

I’m not on Spotify, but I’d like to use Qobuz. Sadly it’s not available where I live. The idea is great though, listen whatever I want with an option to purchase drm free albums I like the most.

That’s the neat part, I don’t.

Amen. The building I work at, where there’s roughly about 100 people each day, including police department and local part of ministry’s office has exactly ONE charging point built last year. One.

Ok, thanks, didn’t know.

It has a GUI package manager? :-O

I’m just glad Mapy.com (local service to where I’m from) also shows proper names of Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. It’s not Foss but you’re at least supporting neither google nor apple. And their map backgrounds are IMO the best out there, closest to “real paper map”.

Hey, I’ve tried Tempus and Chora and both seems quite good. Also found out Wavio https://github.com/Joel-Mercier/wavio recently which I found to suit me the best I think. It’s pretty customisable and I like the UI.

I’d do the same, yet Qobuz is not available in my country, despite being in EU…

Same as Thiel himself along with his buddies like Donnie or Epstein /s

Well, probably not. Can’t be 100% sure since it’s not really a thing I’d try to proove in a company car. But it hit the brakes couple times when I was approaching car in front of me too fast for cars liking. And it hit them quite hard, accompanied with alerting sound.

Well, 10 year old Skoda Fabia (something like VW Polo, small, cheap car) at work does exactly that. So yes?

They have a typo there. It should have been: PAY has no limits

The usual Dacia is indeed from Romania, but Spring is their first EV and it’s basically some unknown Chinese car rebranded with Dacia’s body kit. The whole EV technology is Chinese, though. New one will be (supposedly) based on new Renault Twingo platform.

As for the tax: yes, there’s just that small registration fee specific to cars, but there’s also usual 21% VAT like on everything.

And that “upgrade” path? It is definitely not Denmark thing alone as we have it here too. Prices I listed are for the bare bones trims. Classic move is like this: Want something useful like parking cam? Pay up. And because manufacturers are pricks, it’s only available as a package with some other crap you don’t need nor want but still have to pay for…

Škoda revealed Epiq recently, which is I believe ID.Polo cousin. And it’s not cheap by far, for it’s size and specs. Basic trim starts at over $30k and that means things like gray color only, no parking cam, no keyless doors, no V2L, no heated seats, no wireless charger, etc. And also just basic 3 year warranty. Want better specs? You’re at price of Tesla Y… (Don’t want to bring its idiot owner here, just comparing cars offers.)

And my personal gripe of car industry: I absolutely hate every car review magazine/site/channel where they present new cars like “this new model costs just XY”, then proceed to show you nice car and at the very end they tell you it’s not the XY price base trim. It actually costs over twice as much, due to better trim, bigger battery and all the fancy options. Yeah, thank you and f*ck you with a cactus.

It’s Czech Republic and no, there are probably not any cheaper EVs here. I’m not counting Dacia Spring ($16,5k pre-tax) as it’s Chinese car in disguise and it’s just too small and weak I’d hardly consider it a proper car anyway. Some other “cheap” non-Chinese choices are Hyundai Inster for $21,5k, Fiat Grande Panda for $22k or Renault 5 for $26,5k, all prices pre-tax.

Overall it’s just so expensive here. A lot of people are skeptic about the tech both for being expensive and also because everyone thinks they probably need to drive 800 km every day and charging is too slow… I’d buy EV a long ago if it wasn’t so price prohibitive.

EDIT: Just for comparison, average monthly wage is ~$2300 and median is ~$2100 (before taxation).

Well, our eastern block post-communist shithole has the cheapest e-C3 for roughly $22k pre-tax. It’s insane.

So by that logic you don’t have to pay tax for electric consumption, right? Right? Damn USA became such a cesspool…
