Do they have to get divorced when the kitten dies (of old age obviously)?

Thank you, that’s very useful to know.

That’s interesting. OP implied they can’t be disabled but now I see it was specifically hardware vise.

Does the car still complain if the camera is covered when these are disabled?

We got a modern BYD recently as a rental on a holiday that had this, it was really annoying. Anytime anything happened the car beeped, it was near constant different beeps - super distracting. Most of the things could be turned off, but had to be turned off each time the car was started, on a tablet buried in various menus.

The attention thing also wasn’t working great with the driver wearing sunglasses, it’d randomly start complaining. It also complained when the driver would lean forward to get a better view around a corner or anything.

It was a very fancy car, but I’d definitely never choose a car with these features, even though some may probably be useful.

I’d also never trust one of these companies not to change the policy on what they can do with this camera in the future, at which point you’ll have little to no choice about it. Or, to find out they messed up and now anyone can watch you in your car.

I’d go back to the dealership and complain, either ask for a refund or a way to be able to cover the camera, especially if they only disclosed it as you got the car.

Aside from the other answer, the article also says they’ll still provide “long term support” which includes modding requests. So even if something is missing for modding, they may still add it.

Is it like… they’ll offer to pay me a subscription fee to use them oooor…?

It’s a small piece in your observation but I’ve been on the hunt for an android client for jellyfin with downloads that are… usable. Fladder has been so far the only one where this seemed to work okay-ish (it’s still slow, and I noticed it doesn’t detect if the device supports Dolby vision to force transcoding). But still, if your one user is still trying… maybe it helps them a lil.

I see your point and also agree with you, but at the same time it seems like you’re implying it’s a binary choice. Either we support labour or we support the right. The way I see it, they’re a centrist party now at best. I want to support a more leftist/libertarian party. I don’t have to run to vote for reform just because labour didn’t do as well as I hoped, but I also don’t need to vote for labour if they do things I hate (which the war on privacy is).

And of course the online safety act passed with a majority. They’re using the easiest manipulation tactic to describe all of these type of bills that exists. “It’s for the children”. It takes a lot to oppose it while making sure you don’t give ammunition to be smeared with “oh they hate kids/don’t care about children’s wellbeing” while defending it is as simple as repeating it’s to protect kids. Doesn’t even matter what the bill does as long as it can loosely be related it’s a guaranteed “moral high ground”.

Lastly, I don’t think it’s good to excuse bad policies by saying they also did other good things.

On 1, would it not work if you created a new bitcoin wallet, then bought bitcoin with monero and used that bitcoin to pay? I understand BTC isn’t anonymous, but if you fund the wallet only with BTC purchased via monero and don’t re-use the wallet it shouldn’t identify you.

On 2, I meant to test if proton mail (or one of the other providers where the only issue is needing another email address) accepts adding a verification email address to the proton account (which in theory passes the human verification check), where the verification email address is from for example disroot, or from one of the anonymous mail providers. Basically just a test if the human verification check can be circumvented with another provider that would do the human verification check or similar, maybe there is a gap in the validation for one of them.

Does that make sense?

Either way, if you need this to be anonymous and also rotate the account with a high frequency like weekly, probably neither of those will remain feasible even if one of them would maybe work once.

The prices are already going up, look at anthropic’s price hikes, or the GitHub copilot ones. You’re right it is just the start though.

Thank you, that makes more sense. Proton has an article on this (https://proton.me/support/human-verification) and it does imply your use of tor will trigger it (as opposed to only requiring captcha).

My only 3 ideas are:

1. Some search results indicate that upgrading to a paid account removes this issue on proton, but it seems the wording for this on the page above was removed. If you’re willing to try spending some money on it you can try upgrading the proton account with crypto (buy bitcoin with monero?) and pay for a month?

2. Try if they accept adding a verification email from an anonymous provider, or another provider which would do this?

3. If you plan on/have the option to go on a holiday check which countries allow buying prepaid SIM cards for cash without ID and pick one up to pass the verification on one of these providers?

It does seem like someone wants their investments back and pass on the money black hole over to the public.

I’d be surprised if they can continue their business as is after an IPO.

I don’t understand your wording of what that limitation is.

My best guess would be that you mean you want to use a custom domain for the email address…?

To be fair, the issue (or at least my point) here is not that they didn’t magically fix everything. It’s that they actively introduced things (like the online safety act) and are continuing to pursue things (like extending it to vpns) which didn’t exist before and are hostile towards online privacy.

I do agree about the general mentality being outrage based which benefits the right.

It’s actually quite interesting to look at the party manifestos in England Vs Scotland for the same parties. Reform UK has seen some success in the recent Scottish election and I believe part of it is that their “Scottish” manifesto reads closer to a regular conservative party (so only medium insane), whereas it’s batshit insane in England. I don’t think a lot of people compare those, despite it being the same party.

Joke’s on you, in the UK we have a “left wing” government and they’re doing the best they can to fight against privacy!

Oh wait… I guess the joke’s on us nvm.

What do you mean by “do not accept 3rd party registration email”?

Anybody can vibe code, same as anybody can build a house - it’s just that both of those will fall apart pretty quickly if you don’t know what you’re doing.

As someone who does not use ai for development but have worked with others who do, it feels like I was still using it.

I had to look at the code they produced (because they obviously didn’t) and phrase my review so that when it’s ran through an LLM it produces the results I needed. It was just an extra step.

These people have now been laid off, without being replaced so our team is just smaller for the same amount of work. Productivity has gone up, issues have gone down and honestly, it feels like I have less to do.

I think AI still has value tbh, but it can’t replace experience and knowledge.

UK, monthly. The day changes between employers but most have been around the end of the month.

I’ve never had overtime pay but I also never did overtime, not sure if it’s a thing. I’ve had on-call though, payment for it depends per employer.
