The right to repair. It’s going to require the ability to make changes to the software on the vehicle. At a minimum the ability to replace the public encryption keys used to communicate with the servers. The bootloader and software is probably locked behind signing keys; so you need to be able to disable or add your own keys. I doubt anyone has access to the full protocols used to communicate with the servers. So, the full technical standard need to be released (which is never going to happen) or reversed engineered through unencrypted traffic analysis and reverse engineering the software.

A good right to repair law could require some of that be releasable while the company is still active or all if the company goes belly up. IIRC there was a smaller EV company that went bankrupt and there was a concern that once the servers were shutdown the vehicles would be bricked. Not sure what happened in the end. In any case, cars as IOT is the stupidest idea ever created.

I give it a 5/10. No mention of beans, unix socks, or tankies.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Just like the OceanGate Titan.

Context: I heard that lemmy will upvote anything. This is literally just a can of fucking beans

And then there was weeks and weeks of bean posts.

I was not aware of Giordano Bruno. 😮

Bruno was tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition on charges of denial of several core Catholic doctrines, including eternal damnation, the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the virginity of Mary, and transubstantiation. Bruno’s pantheism was not taken lightly by the church,[2] nor was his teaching of metempsychosis regarding the reincarnation of the soul. The Inquisition found him guilty, and he was burned alive at the stake in Rome’s Campo de’ Fiori in 1600.

Yeah, that was my second prescription. The first one was clobetasol propionate which you are only supposed to use two weeks on, two weeks off. It didn’t work very well.

Edit: for over the counter I use Eucerin eczema relief. I also have a jar of CeraVe, but I haven’t used that in a while. I only have to use them occasionally.

Go see a dermatologist.

A few years ago I would get patches on the back of my hand that would itch and have tiny blisters. They were persistent and over the counter ointments weren’t helping. Finally went to a dermatologist when they got unbearable. The first one I went to prescribed an ointment that sorta worked, but not that great. Ended up going to a second dermatologist when I found out the first one was an anti-vaxxer.

The second one was on top of his game. He straight up said the first ointment wasn’t a good one to use and prescribed something much better. It knocked out the spots and itchiness after a week or two. I’ve had a couple of minor flair ups since, but the ointment eliminates it pretty quick. Haven’t had any problems for at least a year.

If you can, go see a dermatologist.

At that time Lemmy didn’t support instance blocking at the user level. After the devs released that update it still took time for world to upgrade. Updates were coming out every couple of weeks and world likes to wait for about 6 weeks of stability on a release.

Lemmy World announced the block about 10 months ago: https://lemmy.world/post/2498330

The larger instances usually setup a community just for announcements. For world it’s !lemmyworld@lemmy.world

That depends. Are you looking at preserving the music without loss of information? Then you need to use a lossless format like flac. Formats like aac, mp3, opus can throw away information you’re less likely to hear to achieve better compression ratios. Flac can’t, so it needs more storage space to preserve the exact waveform.

You can use a lossy format if you want. On most consumer level equipment, you probably won’t notice a difference. However, if you start to notice artifacting in songs, you’ll need to go back to the originals to re-rip and encode.

OMG, it’s an actual Jesus themed spirit board. 🤣 The instructions are just divine:

How to use the Holy Spirit Board

The Holy Spirit Board is the only board that you and your friends can use to communicate directly with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ either in a group or by yourself!

1. Place the game board on a table or other sturdy, flat surface.

2. Place the Magic Cross on the board.

3. Have everyone lay thine hands upon the Magic Cross, and say the following prayer:

“Oh Magical Jesus, please guide our hands to answer our questions, Amen!”

4. Next, ask Jesus a question. It can be any question you want! Jesus knows everything!

5. Let the Holy Spirit guide your hands to move the Magic Cross around the board. You can ask a “yes or no” question, or, let the Magic Cross spell out your answer one letter at a time!

When Jesus has answered all your questions, don’t forget to say goodbye!

And remember: anyone who says the Holy Spirit Board doesn’t work is both a liar and a sinner in the eyes of our Lord. Amen.

Edit: there’s even a website with a video promoting it:

Do you remember lycos or ask jeeves?

Not sure if they’re still available, but gummy bears made with Lycasin guarantee explosive results.

Some back of the envelop math. It took about 8 hours 40 minutes to get to 13,800 digits, give or take.
That’s an average of 26.5384615384615 digits / minute.
At the current rate it would take ~37,681 minutes to read 1 million digits.
Or 628.019323671498 hours.
Or around 26 days 4 hours.

Ever see the Authorized Bootleg Universe?

So basically, Saber and all studios under Saber won’t have to worry about suffering the same fate as Volition did under Embracer. Maybe?

This is an FYI for any Tribes: Ascend fans. Tribes 3 is basically being developed and published by Hi-Rez 2.0. Prophecy Games is a spin off of Hi-Rez Studio and is run by the owner.

For those not familiar with the history of T:A, Hi-Rez released the game as free-to-play, had some of the grindiest of grinds (took forever to unlock the spinfusor for just one class), and a monetization plan that was targeting whales. There were balancing issues that needed to be addressed, promised features left undeveloped like competitive, and they basically abandoned the game within a year. They moved their developers over to Smite while things degraded leaving the player base salty AF. You’ll have to visit that other site for the history, but this is probably a good starting point. And I can’t forget that the CEO never took responsibility for their horrible monetization plan.

Now I would hope that Hi-Rez Prophecy would have learned from their mistakes because Tribes is one of those games I hold a special place for. However, they released a pair of day 1 DLCs that each costs more than the game itself.
