Moderators removed my milquetoast comment because they’re giant gaping redditors.

Come out here and fight me, cowards.

They could have run a whole ass extra wire to the trunk release button input if they wanted to, they just didn’t want to.

But I like how friend-shaped that Zeekr is.

The lawers job is to help their client navigate the legal system. That does, sometimes, mean they have to do or say or pretend they believe certain things because their obligation is towards their client and nothing else.

“unfamiliar or complicated”

On macos, how does one snap a window to the left or right of the screen? That’s right, you install a 3rd party application and make sure it autostarts to do basic window management.

Also they re-introduced Vista Aero to the apple ecosystem as Liquid Glass

I’ve seen so many UI anti-patterns since I got my M5 that I think Jobs would be spinning in his fucking grave.

Someone would have been strung up from a pirate flag for the liquid ass foolishness.

I wish using their os wasn’t so painful coming from linux

Like, why is bash ancient? (3.2 vs 5)

Why is there no package manager (brew doesn’t count, just as npm doesn’t count as a legitimate package manager)

Why are the utils like ls and friends flag-order-sensitive (you can ls -lah . but not ls . -lah)

Why do I have 40 network devices with cryptic names?

I got a fully loaded M5 at work and I don’t want it. I just have a linux vm for doing work on it.

it is the lawyers oath to fight whatever legal argument their client is having to withstand, and you’d want one to do so on your behalf if you’d fucked up too.

I’m a strong believer that someone absolutely needs to American Psycho that man for the benefit and survival of the american people.

You can’t have psychopaths like that running around. The rest of your system has failed to stop it from happening.

I don’t think I’ve ever had an issue with sound since we got rid of OSS and multiple sound sources could be mixed together.

Its just been automagic since.

They’ll shred them before they let us have them

Additionally, they’re hillariously power intensive. you’d need to get 6-7 full racks worth of it together to make it work and when it does it blows through 130KW a rack.

Can you believe the ghouls who willingly work for Palantir are currently going are we the baddies?

They were always the baddies! stop working for techno-fascists!

The only moral, correct Palantir employee is whichever one of them is dousing gasoline and setting the office on fire.

There is some suggestion that google trends shows people in a controversial far away US ally were googling his name about 12 hours before he made his move.

I used to write unethical software for marketing men. Now I don’t.

I’ve straight up told recruiters I don’t want to contribute to the brown skeleton factory.

I did that at the cost to my employment options.

Its really, really hard to go work for Evil Inc and not realise you’re a bad person.

No need to market to you when they simply extract your labour and rent and you buy the swill that is cheapest to you.

You can do both? Push for collective action and defeat the devices that are being put in front of you.

With those huge ass flared arches, I cannot help but wonder how fast it’d go with a different motor and power management.

Or just with a reflash and acceptance that the 80hp motor will be dead in 15000km

Its a throwback design based on the o.g 2cv, and its friend-shaped. And 15k. Its dope.

You should read the short story.

That’s the whole point of the story.

But yes, it will always be possible to remove this sludge. You may have to fight for your rights to do so. That fighting might involve setting things on fire.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Every technical hurdle they put up, is defeatable.

Every time they make the wall higher, we make the ladder longer.

There will come a time where there will be a privacy-conscious choice and that might require flashing the infotainment system.

We’re getting closer to one of Cory Doctrows stories. I can’t find a direct link, but its on this page under the name “Plausible Deniability”

Meanwhile, in Europe…

You’re the one struggling to find people and community, and not wanting actually -do- anything about it.

I dunno, seems like a you problem where you’re painting yourself into a lonely corner.
