The analogy doesn’t even work if we ignore the massive difference in time scale. Languages develop organically, they are not managed. Comparing a managed and developed system and a twenty year timespan to an organic language system over a five hundred year timespan is just ridiculous.

Because it is a paid OS and it’s developers are writing code for financial gain, if they are not being paid to write the code, it doesn’t get written.

They are being paid to write the code. Microsoft is just choosing which code they should write, and it doesn’t include any old devices because they want you to buy new devices.

It’s perfectly reasonable to expect compatibility, and lay blame when there isn’t any. Microsoft simply doesn’t provide it.

you can’t blame Roland or Microsoft for not supporting a 20 year old device on the latest versions of the OS.

Why not?

You can’t expect indefinite hardware support for every random little device you happen to find, this like the sound card above is on you, not Microsoft.

Why not? Linux development is mostly volunteer, and these things are easily compatible with Linux. It seems like you can absolutely expect support for every device, it’s just that Microsoft isn’t willing to provide it.

None of the above quoted examples are noob issues, this is like you are talking to a person in old english from the mideval times and being mad that a random guy in the middle of Londing in 2024 can’t understand you.

Notice that you had to exaggerate a 20 year timespan into a 500 year timespan to make this analogy work?

These people are just the worst, most pedantic dinguses reddit has to offer

you’re so close to solipsism, what a treat to encounter in the wild

Nevertheless, there’s nothing creepy about crosses and you know it.

Is it possible that someone else sees the world differently from me?

No, they must be lying, my viewpoint is the only one that exists.

They are extremely mad that car people don’t like Teslas, and they post angrily about it on Reddit every hour of every day. Fortunately, Tesla people aren’t “car people” so there’s really no real life friction other than Tesla dorks probably showing up to cars and coffee all over the nation and feeling personally offended when nobody gives half a shit about their commuter coffin.

Dang you managed to be right on one thing, congrats

Then why did they discontinue it if it wasn’t a stupid idea? Oh well.

I just want to go into the thing itself a little bit here… What vehicles do we see “yoke” style steering wheels on? Racing cars and karts. Why do we see yokes on those vehicles specifically? Extremely fast steering racks that will go lock-to-lock in a half or quarter turn, coupled with cockpits that either do not allow enough arm movement due to restraints or space to have more wheel movement. Are Teslas cramped inside with arm restraints because they’re open-top racecars? Do they have racing racks that go lock to lock in a quarter turn? Are Teslas driven like a racecar, where both hands will always be on the wheel unless you’re banging through gears? No.

It’s a child’s view of the world that spawned the idea of putting yokes in Teslas, because the child (Musk) saw racecars and was too ignorant to understand why they had yokes. Techbros and their consequences, etc.

r/cars and other car “enthusiast” subs have been pretty anti-Tesla for quite some time, because Teslas aren’t really anything approaching a “driver’s car”. They go fast in a straight line but have terrible feedback and handling.

Cosmetic build quality issues aside, they require practically zero maintenance (tires and windshield fluid) and there are less moving parts to break. So far they’ve proven to be very reliable.

This applies to all electric cars, this isn’t exclusive to Tesla. And other electric cars don’t have panel gaps.

Driver feedback is subjective and I find your claim straight-up obtuse in meaning. I quite enjoy windy roads and the smoothness of the EV drivetrain.

The Tesla drives like an appliance, particularly in comparison to what are often considered “driver’s cars”. Nothing wrong with it, but don’t expect car enthusiasts to like it.

The UX of my Tesla is practically-perfectly responsive and most of what you want to do has either physical or voice controls.

most

voice controls

Physical buttons are superior, and have been for decades. Voice controls and touchscreens are decisions made on a budget basis, not a UX basis, because they are objectively worse. It’s corner-cutting, not improvement.

Autopilot is good bordering great but still needs work. FSD is indeed a pipe dream with the current fleet.

Are you calling Musk a liar?!? FSD has been coming “next year” for like six years now!!!

I’m sorry, there’s no positive here on the yoke thing. Literally anybody who isn’t a 14 year old who has never driven a car before should understand a yoke is a shitty, stupid thing to replace a wheel with. That mistake didn’t require putting the shit on the market and then going “oh wow I guess this much worse thing isn’t better after all, huh”. Like, seriously, the dumbest motherfuckers must have been involved in that decision from start to finish.
