If they do, it's pretty funny since .ml has been the only instance I've had comments removed from and they were a small joke and asking a legitimate question.

Aphelion , 13 days ago to Memes in This has to be a joke...

Ah yes, those incredibly fair and balanced mods in worldnews@lemmy.ml, who remove my small joke comment but let the tankies brigade the comment section with propaganda. Yeah, they're doing a great job.

Lenovo ships some models with Mint FWIW.

My money is that OP is from Russia. That government wants as much division and dessent as they can get, and they have a professional cyber ops organization.

Wow what a false equivalency strawman argument.

It's a business completely built on reputation for impartiality and thruthfullness. The second they take money to tilt their findings and it's discovered, their whole business it dead.

Having worked at a company that had to hire a similar firm, I can tell you they had a huge contract up front that stipulates that they will find everything, they will be impartial, and if you, as their customer try and obfuscate or hinder their findings, they'll terminate the contract, and report any actions they're legally required to report.

Yeah, same for me. Linus' response was so stereotypicaly defensive, dismissive and shitty, I lost all trust. Couple that with GN's fact checking of LMGs sloppyness, and I was done ever watching their channel.

These firms build their business on a reputation for thorough, truthful investigation, and they put a contract in place that says that when they're engaged by a company. It would destroy their own business if they took money to tilt their findings.

Say that again but to a UAW union boss.

They're not using electrolysis and water to make hydrogen, they're using power and steam to crack petroleum products into hydrogen.

Aphelion , 2 months ago to solarpunk memes in How is the hydrogen made?

Hah! It's amazing how many people are still hanging onto the delusion that hydrogen is made from renewables when almost every ounce of commercial hydrogen fuel is made by cracking petroleum products.

And if you aren't planning to vote for Biden, please go read Project 2025 and then explain your logic again, because what Trump and the Christian right has planned will be actual fascism, right in our own backyard.

Living in the US for most of my life, and voting in every election, I can tell you your assumptions are incorrect: a few states control most of the power here due to the electoral college, and everything down to state and local initiatives gets lobbied into the ground by special interests.

None of that is at all required, they include all the usual Apple/Google phone link systems so all of that is very easily ignored. The only real problem with Toyota is the DCM sim modem, which you can get removed, and their data collection which you can opt out of.
