wow, I looked it up and you weren't kidding. absurd, how is the population OK with this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

thanks, appreciate it! (though I'm no longer leaving the mentions in replies so it was solved for me anyway, but I think for new users this will be very useful :))

Good strategy! I currently own 5 cars; 91, 93, 97, 09, and 11 (and the last two are a utility van and a base model hatchback with no electronics).

I had a job in college working on information security for automotive systems. I'm actually pretty good at fixing cars with electronics, but the DRM where you have to go back to the manufacturer is too far for me. If I can't fix it with what's in my garage, I'm not interested.

It's also more eco-friendly than constantly scrapping/upgrading cars.

they are likely terrified of being sued under GDPR

I moderated a top-15 subreddit for over 5 years. reddit got so corporate so long ago that the 80% of the mods left are just on some kind of power trip. So no, I won't ever feel bad for them.

people often forget that reddit initially achieved network effect because a small number of high quality users left digg for being too captured by corporate interests. the rest took 10 years to play out, but inevitably when the mainstream follows these initial users, the platform dies and it is time for another migration. I think we've been ready for a while.

I run a Thinkpad and my partner is an early adopter of the v1 Framework. She had quite a few early adopter issues on her leading me to believe the hardware polish isn't there 100% (eg hinges too weak they had to release an upgrade, this broke the display cable and led to BIOS issues, etc).

I mostly agree, the one place I think Thinkpad could use more maintainability is in mainboard compatibility. Framework promises (TBD) Mainboard compatibility across upgrades, we'll see if they deliver.

one UX improvement is also in replies. I comment from Mastodon, and because I'm replying to you my post will be federated to feddit.uk but not to your parent comment on feddit.de or the OP on lemmy.ml :|

 

FYI you can follow Lemmy (reddit-alternative) communities from within Mastodon; for example if you follow @crypto you will get the Lemmy crypto community.

If that spams your feed, you can also add them to lists!
