Ironically, my cars don’t run Linux for the same reason my computers do: I’m militant about protecting my property rights and privacy, so I refuse to have any car new enough to have “infotainment” because it’s all closed-source and Tivoized. It’s effectively hostile, despite the Linux kernel at the bottom of it.
I’ll buy a car made after the mid-2000s when I can re-flash the whole thing with non-DRM’d community-supported software, and not a minute before.
Yes, all of them.
In the long run, shit like this is theft from the Public Domain.
but im not jumping into a (local only) home assistant until it sounds like majel
Frankly, that should be easily doable these days (aside from copyright issues). I’ve wanted the same thing, but I just haven’t gotten around to making it yet.
Well, that’s disappointing.
Your post made me wonder, so I checked and of course it exists. Behold, a text-mode Lemmy client: Neon Modem Overdrive
In other words, Japan apparently hates property rights.
Gimp 3 is amazing.
Found the time traveler!
(The stable version of Gimp is 2.10.38, and even the latest dev snapshot – which is what I assume he means by “Gimp 3” – is technically “only” 2.99.18.)
It’s never unethical to pirate Adobe, but it’s always more ethical to use Free Software instead and deny Adobe the mindshare.
If he succeeds in using it as a propaganda platform to force the US into a fascist dictatorship, he will have gotten his money’s worth.
You know what’s really fucked up? The concept of “corporate personhood” that Citizens United depends upon was invented wholesale by a goddamn clerk! The Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co. decision itself didn’t actually address the issue; the clerk just wrote a headnote “assuming” that the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment applied to corporations for ~reasons~ and subsequent courts treated as if it were gospel.
The annoying thing is that they held us hostage for our free labor, but the results are proprietary for Google’s benefit only.
That training data ought to be forced to be made freely available to the public, since we’re the ones who actually created it.
I mean, If we’re talking about imposing vigilante justice on criminal corporate execs, I guess I’m down with that too.
No it is not the correct answer! The correct answer is to put the CEOs who perpetrate this criminal shit in prison for millions of counts of hacking and stalking!
Merely shrugging and implementing a technological workaround is not an appropriate response to someone perpetrating a felony against you!
These are criminal violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Jail the motherfucking felon CEOs!
None of that is a substitute for government regulation. They must be forced to comply.
On one hand, that’s true. On the other hand, a person should only need exactly one passphrase, which is the one used to unlock their password manager. Every other password should be randomly-generated and would only contain space characters by chance.
NIST generally knows what they’re doing
For now, at least. Could change after Inauguration Day.
Linux is not a real-time OS*. For a car ECU, something like Speeduino would be a more appropriate choice.
