I don’t think there’s anything quiet or sneaky about it. I must have received a dozen emails in the last few months with privacy updates about using user data for AI.

I mean yes, but at least their Discord is externally archived/indexed and they have a Discorse Forum. None of those are my preferences but it’s better than nothing.

Really annoying that I cannot uninstall Lutris…

They promised first deliveries before the end of 2022. The only thing they showed up with was a new prototype. There was no explanation given. No acknowledgement. They since pushed the delivery dates back 3 more times, each with no acknowledgement or explanation. Now they say late 2025. I am not hopeful.

Aptera supports Right to Repair

I like Aptera and have a couple of them pre-ordered but that’s nothing but a promise. They have plans to IPO. Zero chance their consumer-friendly approach survives that for very long.

It’s not incorrect, you just don’t know what you’re talking about.

We weren’t talking about hybrids. Old Nissan Leaf probably equally easy.

Yes you can re-fuel it, ever heard of a gas can?

So people just leave full gas cans all over the place in your area?

While you’re waiting for your EV to charge on the side of the road I’m already off driving.

An EV charges nearly as quickly as you can fill up yours with gas…

Yes well, older gasoline cars are the only cars. That’s what I meant.

you can re-fuel it without having to find a dedicated charging spot

Really? Does it rain gas from the sky in your area?

compared to EVs they are far more repairable.

No they’re not.

I mean…you’re gonna have to run some operating system on it. And that operating system is going to need security updates.

Yes, it’s too old. Does not receive software updates anymore. The newer a-series of phones are still quite a bit larger than the 4a but also quite a bit smaller than the 8 or especially 8 “Pro” or whatever the fuck stupid name they’re giving phones these days.

I was excited for EVs but it looks like I’ll be driving gasoline dinosaurs for the rest of my life.

Who is “they”? Matrix org?

I think my LG G4 had AI image detection.

Meh. These are just Hori controller with Steam logos and Steam Input integration. Don’t see anything special.

Retroshare solves this issue

I don’t know what that is but the screenshot is literally Windows XP so, ya lost me. And I really can’t be bothered to learn any new systems.

by using voting and reputatiom systems

I mean, that sounds much much worse. You’re talking about some Black Mirror shit.

which naturally corner off people and content away from your eyes that you dont desire

Blocking people is easy enough on Fedi…?

retroshare gives you control of your own interactions and space.

You can create and run your own instance and control whatever federation you want that way if your only concern is about your personal viewing habits…most people are concerned about the spread of hate speech.

This is an inherent problem that all federated platforms are going to have. Are you personally going to audit the entirety of the Matrix-verse? Or are you going to utilize a list from a trusted source? Do you want known pedos using your server?

Mastodon, Lemmy, etc., all maintain similar lists. I can see how someone might unfortunately get caught up in this unfairly but I’d argue the upsides outweigh the down.
