I think it could definitely be possible to do locally, and I wouldn't want a car where I have to connect to servers to connect to it. But I am also not sure I want a car that can be opened with a command on the car itself. The code to access your CAR being stored locally on the car itself, with no server side validation, does seem kinda scary. It's one thing for someone to manage to get into your online login where you can change the password, it's another for someone to literally be able to steal your car because they found a vulnerability. It being stored locally would mean people would reverse engineer it, they could potentially install a virus on your car to be able to gain access. Honestly, as a tech guy, I don't trust computers enough to have it control my car.

Generally, an engineer wants their product to work well and work efficiently. They put effort into a product, and it feels good to see people benefit from that work. The ones making the decisions have money on their mind. If a FOSS version of their paid platform costs them too much money, they will shut it down. Not because it was the engineers decision, but because the one's making the decision likely don't even know what github is and just know it's taking away that sweet subscription money.

Not the original commenter, but it seems they're asking if lemmy is doing anything about imposters. These are all different characters: "Greek Ο (039F), Latin O (004F), and Cyrillic О (041E)" so someone could look like they have an official username, when really it's a different unicode character. Nothing to do with the actual IDN part, but moreso about the "homograph" part, or even more accurately, homoglyph
The video shows them pointing the gun over his shoulder. He also was interviewed after, so if he was arrested, he was let go immediately after.
They've already gotten one from the South African government. Though they did say they disagree with the letter, so, they should be good
I, too, thought it was interesting they considered programming as the IT industry. I mean, sure, you may use scripts once and a while, but that's very different from a software developer, or someone else who works with/writes code for a living.
As in, the pandemic reduced revenue causing layoffs?
I can’t work anymore because of covid
Why can't you work anymore because of covid? Do you have a weakened immune system so you can't risk being exposed to covid, or did you get covid and now have long covid symptoms? If it's the second one, what long covid symptoms are preventing you from working? I believe you, but it's just so vague that I'm not sure what you're referencing
Idk if it's failing that's the key to success. I think failing is inevitable, but it's actually using those failures to learn and improve.
When you said "I highly doubt it" in response to the first comment, what were you doubting? You comment does not seem to make sense in response to the comment. They said that the open source project has likely cost more money in lost subscription fee's than in AWS API calls, and you said you doubt it?
Then the person replying to you said "The general population is very much influenced by the Home Assistant community" not that everyone knows about it. But your comment talks strictly about how commonly known things in the tech world are not commonly known in the general population (which I think is pretty commonly known in the tech world as well).
This comment chain does not seem to be talking about the same things.
