Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. So yeah, I’m super fucked.

Although, I would be a cyborg (Skitarii) with a pretty sweet collection of servo skulls and a cool weapon, so I’ve got that going for me.

• Tesla absolutely sell software locked heated seats as DLC, as well as subscriptions for “self driving” packages.
• They will advertise/upsell their own services in their app, including free trials of their “premium” features.
• If you think they are using your driving data (including camera feeds) in any responsible way then I have a bridge to sell you. There have been documented cases of Tesla employees watching their customers fuck on the interior cameras.

For context - I used to own one.

If this works in any way, shape or form for BMW then you can bet that any other manufacturer selling “connected vehicles” will sit up and take notice.

If my brand new car started pushing dashboard ads to me, it would be rejected and returned to the dealer immediately. That is the only kind of pushback they would pay attention to.

If I’m not going far, not driving or not planning on spending much then yes, wallet stays at home.

Otherwise, if I’m driving then I’m taking my driving license with me (you never know), if I’m making a purchase over the contactless limit then I need to take my actual card with me anyway, or if I’m away for a longer period then I might need cards that I don’t have linked to my phone (like my corporate card - like fuck am I putting that in my phone).

And for all that, I’d rather have a wallet instead of just a loose amalgamation of plastic in my pockets.

Apart from the times that the US applied export controls to encryption software.

You really gonna do the Blades dirty like that?!

Same, I set it up a few years ago and both me and my partner have been using it since then with no issues at all, it’s completely replaced Google Photos for us.

We’ve also set up immich-frame and repurposed an old Google Nest hub to use as a digital photo frame.

You are assuming that they have a personality to begin with.

Personally any game that requires a rootkit in order to play is not a game I’m interested in, from either a gameplay or a security point of view.

There are only two industries that call their customers ‘users’…

Hot take: Nintendo peaked with the Wii.

Well, I’m currently writing a service and frontend, both in C# (Blazor for the UI), and using docker-compose to build and deploy them to a Raspberry Pi running Linux. So not only cross-platform, but cross-architecture as well.

This is not a new thing either. Since .NET Core was released almost 10 years ago, it has supported cross platform development.

Right now none of the native clients support SSO. It is a frequently requested feature but, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it will be implemented any time soon. As with many OSS projects it is probably a case of “you want it, you build it” - but nobody has actually stepped up.

For web access, stick it behind a reverse proxy and use something like Authentik/Authelia/SSO provider of your choice to secure it.

For full access including native clients, set up a VPN.

Oh fuck me, HOW in like 25 years did I not get that pun?!

As a developer myself I’m not sure if I would trust any application to safely handle a configuration that has become invalid due to a breaking change, especially not an app that is still under active development! Better safe than sorry.
