  • They might have my name and number. They don't have anything to connect that information to, because I don't give it.

  • A lot of people reported that they did. I don't know why. Nothing in their statement said that. They did say they were going to add some "advanced workflows" but didn't elaborate anymore than that. It says it right in the link in OP:

    Update: Google has not “backed down” from developer verification: Contrary to a vague mention of a possible “advanced flow” that may eventually allow “experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn’t verified”, Google’s description of the program continues to state plainly that: "Starting in September 2026, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers in order to be installed on certified Android devices". Until such time that they have shown evidence that it will be possible to bypass the verification process without undue friction, we must believe what is stated on their official page: that all apps from non-registered developers will be blocked once their lock-down goes into effect.

  • The only way to outlaw Meta’s dangerous and egregious behavior is to pass legislation

    Or we could just exercise existing legislation? Like perjury?

  • I'm sure that makes it real useful to have, then, since no one knows it to call you.

    I meant I don't give it to companies, because I know that's why they want it.

    how am I supposed to read this, then?

    How about exactly how it's fucking written? Without making shit up? Do you think you can do that? Telling you how to prevent something is not the same thing as blaming you for it.

  • which they can then use to associate you to any online interaction where you've also given your phone number

    Which is why I don't give anyone my phone number.

    You pointing out that maybe the victims are to blame for their data being in the hands of megacorps

    Once again, that never happened, you just made it up, and I don't appreciate it.

  • Why don't you just voluntarily remove yourself from society at large so that they can't own your data

    ...wat?

    Meta has your data, even if you aren't a part of their ecosystem

    Not sure what "data" you're referring to but they don't have anything useful from me.

    You can't "personal responsibility" your way out of this.

    No one is doing that. I didn't say anything about responsibility.

  • I see you also use Smart Tube

  • If you want Wayland, go with Arch/Cachy

    That's a terrible recommendation for new users...

  • I mean this is great news for EV buyers but it's a terrible sign for the industry as a whole...

  • I mean it's a legit concern but, maybe don't give them your data in the first place?

  • Being "in the Epstein files" is meaningless. There are literally millions of them, and thousands of people. That doesn't mean any of them are guilty of anything (even if many of them are). Do better.

  • RIP Steve

  • I mean he didn't have problems speaking...

  • its not a complete redesign between the first and last prototypes

    Brother, they redesigned the entire chassis and powertrain, among other things. I don't understand how you can say that.

  • I mean Im not sure what you were expecting

    I was expecting them to deliver a vehicle I could actually purchase.

    The original thing did not work out

    How do you know that? Did you receive one?

    2022 was never going to make it once covid hit

    COVID hit several years prior and it's been several years since, and still not a single vehicle delivered.

    What 5d eveil scheme do you think is their ultimate goal

    Same goal as most startups, take money from investors and eventually sell to some big corporation.

    I mean even though its missed delivery its made steady progress

    Completely redesigning the vehicle is not progress, that's regress.

  • They first promised production by "end of 2022". That date came and went and what we got instead was another prototype, and zero explanation of what happened. Then they changed the entire structure of the chassis from a composite material to forged carbon fiber and released like a dozen more prototypes. Then they decided the entire powertrain they were planning to use wasn't viable and completely replaced that as well, losing AWD in the process, making them FWD only. Cue more "production intent" prototypes. That's when I decided they had no intention of ever selling these. They had ample opportunities but chose instead to spend their time making fundamental design changes. They've pushed back the delivery date time and time again, without notification or explanation.

  • Oh yeah, what qualifies as a single tool

  • tl;dr

    The Motorcycle Industry Council has formally opposed the bill, warning lawmakers that removing autocycles from the current motorcycle definition without creating a separate federal safety category would place them in “classification limbo,” making it illegal to sell or register them.

  • I was wondering if it would still be made

    I wondered that for about 4 years, then decided it won't and got a refund
