Lots of people care because it creates e-waste.

If the culture changes so that all consumers act like that and forces the companies to change their production cycle, that would be a big boon for the environment.

She’s surprised he did the same shit to her. I mean, what else do you expect?

There was a garbage article floating around that allegedly, Diddy has kept videos of all his parties and has dirt on a lot of rich and powerful people.

This is probably bullshit but one man can dream. That would be like fullfilling a kink.

Even though Facebook is a terrible inhumane corporation, they have the best product because it is lightweight, can be used without any base station and can be used without a pc-link.

The fact that a VR set requires at minimum a 5x5 feets space with a computer within the vicinity is definitely hurting the VR market.

So I just hope that we get something akin to the Quest but without the evil corporation bit.

When I played Elite Dangerous with a VR headset, man was it magical. But I won’t dedicate a small room and a PC just for that experience.

You got some serious reading comprehension issues. I am talking about you.

“akchually, there wasn’t enough racist comments”. One racist comment is too much.

The issue isn’t you doing your hobby projects however you want, it’s people being paid and produce LLM generated code.

And the biggest issue is managers/c-suites thinking that LLMs can replace senior devs.

And the biggest biggest issue is that the LLMs in their current mainstream form are terribly bad for the environment.

It’s rarely the case. You rarely work in vacuum where your work only affects what you do at the moment. There is always a downstream or upstream dependency/requirement that needs to be met that you have to take into account in your development.

You have to avoid the problem that might come later that you are aware of. If it’s not possible, you have to mitigate the impact of the future problems.

It’s not possible to know of all the problems that might/will happen, but with a little work before a project, a lot of issues can be avoided/mitigated.

I wouldn’t want civil engineers thinking like that, because our infrastructure would be a lot worse than it is today.

There is no issue here from Bitwarden POV, except the pushback they receive now.

Bitwarden got VC funding and the bell is ringing to bring the cows back in to be milked dry.

They are testing the water to see how people react, scale back a bit through whatever lies/PR, and will just wait for the right time to shove more shit.

This is a pattern we’ve seen over and over again.

That VC money was the start of the end. No reassurance can be trusted the moment a company accepts VC funding. It’s only a matter of time until Bitwarden makes their next enshittification move.

The direction that the company is taking. Clearly that Bitwarden feels like other open source projects are diverting revenue from them.

That’s a small step towards enshittification. They close this part of the software, then another part until slowly it is closed source.

We’ve seen this move over and over.

Stopping your business with Bitwarden over that issue sends a message that many customers don’t find this acceptable. If enough people stop using their service, they have a chance to backtrack. But even then, if they’ve done it once, they’ll try it again.

Your current price is 10$/year now. But the moment a company tries to cull any open source of their project is the moment they try to cash it in.

Yes, but not by another mega corpo that tries to get into everything.

I mean, the real problem is that Alphabet and Apple should be dismantled in littles companies by anti-trust laws. Adding another third big player will only add another corpo to the duopoly.

I like Steam because they are more upfront about what you get when you “buy” a game, but I don’t want Steam to become a mega corpo that has tentacles in every technological industries just like Google or Microsoft.

They still are a company first and foremost, and Gaben isn’t eternal. Their attitude can change as fast as getting a new CEO when Gaben steps down.

Nothing good comes out of a mega corpo getting bigger, and we have many examples of that.

Do you have good resources to read on risc-v. I hear about it a lot, but haven’t found meaningful resources (to me) on it.

Thanks

Using Windows is terrible right now, but we’ve spent so much time using it that we developped workarounds and knowledge of the OS.

When you switch to Linux, it’s a different OS altogether, and that’s not counting the different flavors.

So yeah, all that to say that the pain and friction pass quite rapidly and you are left with an uncluttered OS (until you fill it up with useless crap).

Corpos have worked so hard at making the UX “seamless” that people aren’t used to fiddling with the computer anymore.

The short term profit is king, because they don’t know if they’ll be re-elected.

The dream of being the first to do it and corner the market for more of that sweet growth.

I am the person that you called brain damaged. Clearly some reading comprehension issues.

You have the social skills of a rock and it shows.

We managed before remote start, we still can manage now.

What will happen is that more manufacturers will follow suit, until it becomes the norm and every manufacturer does it.

So be ready to be inconvenienced or be ready to pay.

To moment we stop acting like these things are necessary in the real sense of the term is the moment we can find workarounds. Because we know damn well that this practice won’t be legislated.

I sympathize with everyone that lives in cold climates because I do too and it fucking sucks having to heat the freezing car, but be ready to live without the feature because it will definitely be behind a paywall soon enough.

I live in Canada dickwad, I know what cold winters are, so cut your whining.

Remote start is a great QoL, and that’s why scummy companies hide it behind a paywall.

If enough people pay for the subscription, companies will keep doing it.

So the first step is push back and stop buying from companies that does that.

Second step is to not pay for the subscription when all the companies will be doing it, because let’s be real, all car manufacturers will follow suit.

So you will have to either stay in your car, which sucks, or find a workaround like a second key or , in my case, a code on the door.

It will inconvenience a lot of people and car manufacturers are counting on that to keep pushing that shit
