Considering the company was previously bankrupted by warranty bike electronics repairs, I think they should focus on dumbing the smart tech down a bit and making a reliable commuter ebike.
And also not store their customers' private key certs to unlock the bikes in the cloud - it was only a miracle that some people reverse engineered the app and created a third party one for owners to export their keys.
The tech is cool IMO, but it's too much, too soon, and not open enough. Even so, after VanMoof's mess up the first time, owners should really be looking at a Bosch or other alternative ebike instead. Unlike a VanMoof, the alternative won't be clicking its e-lock mechanism every 30 mins due to a undiagnosed software bug.
Partnering with McLaren Applied to aid in reliability diagnostics for the new bikes is a good start, but not good enough, and doesn't build past owners' trust in the company in any way.
Yep, look but don't touch unless it's for personal use. Not ideal, but I think it's a step up compared to a completely closed source alternative.
I can somewhat understand the reasons, particularly looking at the fake NewPipe app malware on the Play Store, and Louis' own experiences of being screwed over by other lobbyists while trying to pass R2R legislation in the cleanest possible condition. Trademark protection + GPLv3 would have mostly sufficed I think, but an explicit "prohibition" by license allows for a much faster legal conclusion AFAIK.
The unusual license may also be to allow distribution on iOS at some point, as GPL licensed software is not allowed on the iOS app store without dual licensing (although this is not something I'm familiar with). GPL components can be embedded within apps though I think.
Grayjay is pretty much a frontend viewing and development interface for media platform plugins, and every plugin is AGPLv3 licensed. Someone could make a Purplejay or a Greenjay alternative frontend implementation for them and there'd probably be no issue.
Having fewer SA & FOSS apps that take the place of several closed source apps is great: Newpipe (or my preferred fork, Tubular) handles soundcloud, youtube, and bandcamp. Grayjay handles patreon and nebula. It also doesn't hurt to have multiple apps capable of playing YouTube in the event that they break one app with some new change, as NewPipe, LibreTube, Grayjay's plugin and yt-dlp all use different extractors AFAIK
Probably along the lines of federated user activity, so things like upvotes/downvotes etc and subscriptions to a community being federated to the relevant server(s)
So even if you're lurking just voting on content, someone could setup a lemmy server, sub to a bunch of communities, and theoretically look at incoming activitypub updates from those communities for your activity I think
Questions over there might get removed IMO, last time I checked out of curiosity it was full of memes and very little discussion. Could be different now 🤷♂️ but personally i'm staying on Lemmy
This mostly applies to absolute new riders from a european perspective - although I am a little disappointed, considering their YouTube channel often has some useful advice from the hosts...
Curious as to whether an intern could have wrote this?
Passkeys don't work on my rooted device - they seemingly set up correctly, but sites like GH claim your device passkey doesn't exist when you try to actually login. When you go to the affected site's account settings to add the device as a passkey again, an error of some kind claims the passkey already exists 🤷♂️
Deleting/re-adding has no effect. Using FF with device biometric passkey auth
Some third party apps allow you to import your Steam OTP, such as Gnome Authenticator
However to obtain it in the first place you need to either use SteamDesktopAuthenticator (GitHub), an android emulator on your PC, or a rooted device to export your key...
In that case, I think it's pretty poor that Apple hasn't made any progress on this after having the specs available for so long, also considering you can already get your hands on third party Android apps that can arbitrarily use BLE to detect all kinds of nearby devices.
To me it feels like Apple is trying to saturate as much of the market as they can before they bake in support for third party tracker detection
This is your stop, you can disembark the maglev! 😁
