Doesn’t Windows give a popup saying “Do you want to extract the folder before running the executable” anymore?
Edit: typo (funning to running)

Meta … can’t guarantee “what a third-party provider does with sent or received messages.”

Both are, or at least should be, ridiculous.
Yes, an app costs money. Yes, servers do cost money. But do they need to use servers? No. For example, self-hosting. Or just connecting the car to the cellular network (which they already do, mind you) and just let the phone talk to it directly, no manufacturer server required. Just pay an ISP for cell service and you’re set. Are there problems with such a solution security-wise? Yes. And while I’m not an expert in cybersecurity I think the risks are about the same for this and a server model.
Hell, they might not even use servers for anything other than checking if you’ve paid your subscription in order to lower costs already (as if a few thousand unlock requests a minute couldn’t be managed without a problem on a Raspberry Pi). They don’t need some huge, expensive and power-hungr supercomputer for that, so I don’t see a need for such a steep price.
Are the features useful? Absolutely. Would someone be willing to pay this price? Also absolutely. But the festures objectively don’t cost that much to maintain and competition should and could put an end to it.
It’s just corporate greed, and it feels to me as if we’re getting closer and closer to the fabled oxygen subscription, and we have to call manufacturers out on their bullshit while we still have air to breathe.
Just don’t buy their cars or at least their subscriptions. Get your car ‘jailbreaked’. What will they do, remote disable it? I think we’re still not that far down the dystopia plotline that a boycott couldn’t work.
Your oxygen subscription expires in 2 weeks. Please take note that absence of oxygen leads to hypoxia. Due to the detrimental effects of the war in Ukraine we have been forced to increase prices by 420%. Would you like to extend your subscription?

Good riddance, then just don’t.
Complaining in and of itself isn’t bad. Hell, a bug report is a complaint and it’s very much useful. As are feature requests. Whining definitely isn’t good, but complaints can and often are useful, warranted and lead to a positive outcome
Yeah I get it, but still. Britain got its priviliges in the EU by being a part of it for a long time. If it becomes a problem in some 20 years, Britain probably won’t be alone, will have been a member for a longish time and will most definitely be better off than outside the EU. And if it comes to it, they’ll be able to leave again.
At least they’ll have the most experience in leaving which might make the second time at least a bit more painless.
It is just Steamboat Willie in the pubkic domain now, including Mickey Mouse as a character, although newer Disney interpretstions of the characters (like gloves) are still under protection. And while Disney can use the original Steamboat Willie as a trademark and protect it through a different avenue, as time goes on they’ll inevitably lose their grip on the character.
Trademarks don’t have an expiration date - they can be used indefinitely, but they have to be actively used, otherwise they lose their protection. But Disney also can’t trademark all the iterstions on Mickey, so some of it will inevitably still seep into the public domain.
That isn’t really an issue, either Denmark or Czechia don’t want the Euro but said they’ll get it so they skirm around the ascention criteria a bit. Can’t see why the UK couldn’t do the same.
I mean if they want their safety they can feel free to keep it. No need to limit others to the App Store.
Psychologist should get publically shamed to hell and back. Even if Poland doesn’t have client confidentiality (and that’s a big if), she still has basic ethics of her profession to uphold. Hope the courts of Poland throw this one out.
What I don’t understand is him getting sacked. While he did name a few people and cut ties, I don’t see the people named couldn’t stand up with him after being named. It seems as if they really support the war crimes in Gaza.
I’m very much drawn to the idea that users individually make the choice, but I don’t think openly embracing Threads is a good idea.
I’d much rather prefer a Fediverse without Threads than Threads without a Fediverse.
Depending on which country you live in and who (or better: what) you are - if you’re a McD McEmployee, you’ll might personally feel the McWrath for filing the complaint - not just having the weight of theorethical jobs lost on your soul.
