- Comment on Tesla's "Predictive" Odometers Had 9+ Drivers Complaining of Inaccuracy Before Lawsuit. We Even Found Video! 1 week ago:
One of the drivers mentioned in this article has a youtube video showing his odometer going from 124,999 to 125,001, completely skipping 125,000. One of the comments asks him to reach out to the law firm handling the class action lawsuit, but the owner replies with:
Happy to help if you’re interested in paying a consultation fee for my time-- but otherwise these actions only enrich the law firms and I’m not volunteering to do that.
This mindset is so frustrating. Class action lawsuits are legit, they hold companies accountable and they pay out cash to people. To say that they only enrich law firms is not just wrong, but I think actually harmful to repeat like he has, especially in the great age of enshittification where everything tries to force binding arbitration agreements into every contract and agreement.

KDE stuff isn’t used on commercially-available products that need tech support
I’m sure there are organizations using Plasma desktop with IT departments supporting it, but I definitely take your point that Apple has orders of magnitude more spending on UI/UX and software development
I’m largely curious about Finder these days since I used macOS almost exclusively from the G4 days right up until about the time they switched to ARM, so it’s been a few years. I’m curious if Apple has made any significant improvements to Finder in the past, say, four years?

the us government, if it’s ever run by non-fascists, could easily afford to hire developers to not only properly support it but actively maintain and improve it.

I don’t give a tenth of a rat’s shit. People gotta have a place to live, food to eat, and healthcare, and all of those require employment. Unless you can show me another employer in her field who isn’t committing or aiding atrocities, which I’m confident you cannot.

Not bad for a laptop with unreliable USB support. But that’s ok, USB is pretty niche, nobody really uses that…
/s
(speaking from personal experience with a fw16, multiple USB A and C expansion modules, after a mainboard replacement and firmware update and testing under several different Linux distros. but also, framework’s own community forums show plenty of reports of USB problems, and even more on reddit)
- Comment on Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military 3 weeks ago:
No. It may involve the expectation of consequences, for the sake of planning for retaliation, but anybody who condemns atrocities should also oppose retaliation against the condemnation.
Maybe some folks commit civil disobedience with the intention of voluntarily facing the consequences, but that’s entirely up to those individuals. Even in that case, they then depend on the broader society supporting their disobedience and demanding their retaliators back down.
Absolutely fuck everything about this “well they had it coming” apologia mindset.

Someone broke into my house on Tuesday and installed Linux Mint on my previously windows ThinkPad so I’m setting that up with all my productivity software today.
Now that’s my kind of mischief.
- Comment on Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military 3 weeks ago:
No. Absolutely fuck everything about your argument against the fired employee. We should be appalled at her termination as well as Microsoft’s atrocities.
Did you mean to say we shouldn’t be surprised that she got fired, or do you truly believe everyone should support Microsoft’s decision to fire her?

From darktable’s FAQ:
Is darktable a free Lightroom alternative?
No. Other than both being raw editors with DAM features, and looking somewhat similar, they have very little in common. Darktable is a powerful and flexible raw processing toolbox, that leaves the user in charge of their workflow and provides a level of power and control that few others can match. This also means that the initial learning curve can be steep, since very little workflow and tool knowledge can be transferred from other programs.
In my personal experience it’s pretty good, but I’ve never used lightroom nor do I have nearly any idea what I’m doing with RAW processing, or photography in general, but I’ve been happy with the few photos I’ve put through it!

the key is laid flat against the Flipper Zero’s display and the depth of each cut on the screen moved to match its physical equivalent. This provides a series of “bitting” numbers, which can be used to cut a working copy of the key.
Neat!
