  • I gave him lots of money when he showed off Teslas all-electric sports car, pitched the model S sedan, and laid out the plan for solar roof tiles, and home battery storage.

    It was a beautiful moment when I saw a billionaire putting their money against fossil fuels.

    When he was struggling to get model 3 production rolling, I gave him lots more money.

    Then he started shitting on trans folks and I started divesting, but still wanted Tesla to succeed.

    Then he essentially bought twitter with that money I gave him to develop Tesla and reports of working conditions started coming out so I divested more… But I held hope Tesla board would kick him out and I could put that money back.

    Then he got into politics and Tesla board voted to give Elon tens of billions and I left all the way.

    Fucking shame.

    There was a moment when Tesla was investing tens of billions into actual electrification research and developing compelling projects and making lots of money because of it.

    I like Ubuntu too, but Snaps can be annoying with permission weirdness and odd errors that usually stem from their sandboxing system. To be clear the sandboxing is good in theory, but I tried using the Blender to edit a file I got from a friend and I ran into permissions issues. I ended up deleting the snaps and installing from command line and it was so much better.

    Installing blender without the app store is still super easy…

    sudo apt install blender
