This doesn't bode well.
The last time this happened was when Anonymous hacked PSN and took them down for a month after they went after Geohotz(cant remember the spelling) for jailbreaking/reverse engineering the ps3.
Radio silence like before as well. I hope they weren't breached again.
they being the automotive industry or the citizens who voted overwhelmingly for it?
If the automotive industry wins (unlikely as they are arguing a fight that the Attorney General has failed to classify an independent entity, which the AG can somewhat easily remedy), I plan to reach out to my states representatives (I'm sure they are getting REALLY sick of me because I'm already sending almost weekly emails due to other issues with the state), in hopes that they can remedy the bill back into something that the people voted for, and not something that big business voted for.
If the auto industry loses: I plan to wait a bit for the implementation of the law to go into effect, then I plan to download the tools given for my current car that the automotive industry is required to provide. If said tools are not available I intend to report the company as non-compliant. These tools are not considered unreasonable by any means, and /should/ already be available for mechanics as part of their every day working of the vehicles. There is zero reason for diagnostic tools for a vehicle I own to be locked behind either a paywall or be restricted to only licensed techs. That is against right to repair as a whole.
Honestly though, what is likely to happen is, the enforcement of the law will be paused until the AG can place an independent party responsible, and then they will revisit the issue when the automotive companies inevitably refuse to assign a person to the party. Which will then go into a whole different can of worms with state fines to the companies refusing to be compliant.

It was a good read, personally speaking I think it probably would have just been better off to block gotosocial(if that's possible since if seems stuff gets blocked when you check it) until proper robot support was provided I found it weird that they paused the entire system.
Being said, if I understand that issue correctly, I fall under the stand that it is gotosocial that is misbehaving. They are poisoning data sets that are required for any type of federation to occur(node info, v1 and v2 statistics), under the guise that they said program is not respecting the robots file. Instead arguing that it's preventing crawlers, where it's clear that more than just crawlers are being hit.
imo this looks bad, it defo puts a bad taste in my mouth regarding the project. I'm not saying an operator shouldn't have to listen to a robots.txt, but when you implement a system that negatively hits third party, the response shouldn't be the equivalent of sucks to suck that's a you problem, your implementation should either respond zero or null, any other value and you are just being abusive and hostile as a program
Oh shoot okay, I was hoping it was a mobile setting drat lol
Wait there's a setting to turn it off? I'm off to find that setting cause comments on the autoplayers on shorts is so old
I wasn't able to find one, disappointing.
Yeah, even if that wasn't the intent that was the outcome. And honestly yea probably was done just using air tools, it's still blows my mind of how stupidly tight that was on there.
Thankfully though I live in a fairly low population state so there's never a line for any shops, usually most things can be a walk in or leave that night to have it worked on next day...you just have to be willing to drive 45 minutes to get to one. I do agree, finding a decent mechanic can be helpful, even if the only real work you ever need done is the yearly inspection.
It's a privacy activist stance, privacy and security are always at a constant battle. There was a post about it a few weeks back, every attempt at security compromises privacy, because private info is the easiest way to lock security down, so it's always the route that companies take. Personally I don't think a corporation should have to risk their company over it, but I don't think a company that isn't privacy oriented should pretend to be. It's misleading. I give them credit that they might be good for privacy but, the entire operation gets undermined when in order to sign up, it tries to force you into giving information that could identify you. The less information needed the better, and the less you can tell overreachers. If you don't have the information you don't have the information. That's signals motto, it's also Mullvads motto, and its the direction that proton runs in if you can find your way through it's hoops.
Yea for sure, I plan to implement that as well when I have some free time.
Just as a another form of Devil's advocate, going over the manufacturer's recommended specs on it isn't a good idea either and intentionally making a car have to go back to a shop in order to be repaired on something that should be as simple repair is the easiest way to make it so the customer doesn't come back
I had that happen with my first vehicle, normally I change my own oil and filter because it's about the most stupid easy job that you can do, but it was finals week and I already had way too much stuff on plate so I caved and under my parents recommendation brought it to a local shop
Everything went fine didn't spend through the roof but the next time I went to change my oil oh my God those fuckers put that oil pan plug on there so fucking tight that there was actually signs that it was starting to strip/warp, I had to get my dad to help me with it which was super embarrassing and he laughed at me until he tried to do it himself and he fucking struggled with it.
It was clear that shop intentionally made it as tight as fucking possible because they wanted to make it so the next time it happened they wanted it to be brought in again. After we finally got it off we both agreed on one thing, neither of us are bringing our vehicles back to that shop again. That was over 10 years ago now and I'm still holding true to my word fuck them I'll drive the extra 20 minutes to another shop
I wasn't aware of this. I have another thing to add to my list to monitor.
Why would you want them to be breached? The only people that are going to be negatively affected by that are the users who was involved in the breach.
Understand hating a company but I find it to be pretty selfish if you're okay with third party being affected just to fit your personal agenda.
It's what separates the corporate tiers with the consumer level. The ability to care.
