  • BMW Adaptive Suspension Can Be Added via Subscription. Suspension As A Service (SAAS)

  • I wrote it as a tongue in cheek against the OP that said "..I really hope the tech crowd is working on jailbreaking this garbage".

    Surprise surprise, that comment is sitting with 49 upvotes 1 downvote, mine that you admonish is on 27 upvotes 13 downvotes.

    This kind of proves the point. The "tech crowd" doesn't owe you anything. Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world, you don't know how much of my personal and professional life I have spent fully on open source.

    Get up your feet and talk with your family, representatitives. Legislate this shit away. Nobody accepts food products that dont have a recipe or with unknown ingredients. Nobody accepts engineering projects without plans. Demand open source and interoperability.

  • We try. We also pivot to open source to try and regain control because it's the only way. We even share our passions with those who ask.

    You folks just roll your eyes and put more money on their hands.

  • Microsoft begins cracking down on people dodging Windows 11's system requirements

    Jump

  • I just setup an old friend couple new computer with Windows. We lost a full day as the HP printer didn't work (yet worked via Android and my linux laptop without installing absolutely anything), Outlook doesn't save passwords (so we moved to Thunderbird), chrome is a mess (so we moved to Firefox + unlock origin), Microsoft excel is incredibly expensive and refused to open the only spreadsheet they needed (so me moved to libreoffice)...

    A fucking nightmare. And everything worked fine with FOSS or on my laptop.

    Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.

  • India in despair as Olympic wrestler disqualified from final despite cutting hair off

    Jump

  • She weighted 2 kilos more than allowed the day before, putting her over 50, even almost making it to 53 which would be 2 weight classes over.

    They put her in dehydration, diet, "trash bag" running to get all sweat out, a Sauna in the morning of the weight-in (but she wasn't sweating anymore), they removed blood from her, and as a last measure, cut her hair.

    She failed.

    She needed IV injections right after the moment of the weight-in by the committee. She then was hospitalized and remains hospitalized. It seems that luckily she is fine.

    Disqualification is there to prevent countries pushing their athletes through these ordeals, which have long-term consequences on their health.

  • Mozilla rolls out first AI features in Firefox Nightly, and theyre actually useful.

    Jump

  • If it was truly opt-in, it could be an extension. They should not be bundling this with the browser, bloating it more in the process.

    The extension API doesn't have enough access for this.

    You technically can run your own local AI, but they hook up to the big data-hungry ones out of the box.

    While it is opt-in and disabled by default, this is the real problem.

  • China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report

    Jump

  • The code needs to maintain the copyrights and authors. They are "mirroring" usernames into their own domain, with mails that dont correspond to the original authors, stealing their contributions.

  • Apple will update iPhones for at least 5 years in rare public commitment

  • Still low, my lineageos phone is going 8 years and is on latest android (and the device wasn't new when I bought it).

  • Study finds 268% higher failure rates for Agile software projects

  • In my experience It's not about a project plan for features, but actually doings things correctly instead of doing the minimum to finish what you need to do on the current sprint.

    Framework boosts its 13-inch laptop with new CPUs, lower prices, and better screens

  • It's the intent, like "high-end" car models, so you can't distinguish them by features or age.

  • ‘Let yourself be monitored’: EU governments to agree on Chat Control with user “consent” [updated]

    Jump

  • Even if you don't opt in, 99% of the people you interact with would have opted in. So you will monitored as they please.

  • Quarter of political donations in EU go to extremist and populist parties, data reveals

  • Opinions that try to break societies' democratic contract are not worth anything at all. You break your side of the democratic contract by working for our war enemies, or break the fundamental rights of society, dont expect the rest of society to give a damn. That's how tolerance works. It is a contract.

  • The idea is to extinguish the other variants, get into a monoculture, and in the future have them completely at Monsanto's will. This product is patented. There's no need for patented grains here. They can be helped through many other means and produces.

  • Discord could solve this particular issue by simply adding a wiki.

    yeah, as Stack Overflow could. Discord is bound to the stakeholders, and is already getting enshittified.

  • I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)

    Jump

  • they were looking for unmoderated corners, not for places not powered by money and profit. Which I find orthogonal to the comment from OP. That there's some overlap on the end result doesn't mean OP was biased at all.
