I agree, I set my grandparents doors up on a timer, if its still open at 11 PM it auto closes both doors. I’ve got the ping a few times now saying “emergency door schedule activated” meaning that they were open and had not been closed prior.

I saw this the other day as well when i was looking at filebrowsers github looking into seeing if it had SSO support. It’s a shame really.

chiming in, even excluding self host, I wouldn’t recommend wix, their sites are so bloated and take forever for me to load, and I’ve had Firefox just straight refuse to load pages before that are wix run.

I vet lesser known projects, but yea I do end up just taking credibility for granted for larger projects. I assume that with those projects, the maintainers team with pull access is doing that vetting before they accept a pull.

I’m fully okay with them doing so, but they have to disclose what they’re doing so. Like the fact that the review didn’t disclose that they were an employee is very sketchy to me.

He mentioned that it is possible to bypass the cloud bullshit with a third party Library he just didn’t want to do the setup for it, personally I was waiting for the “so I tore it out of the wall and returned it” because I can’t think of a single appliance store that has a return policy that’s less than like 30 days. Locking advertised features behind an app would be an instant “honey we’re bringing this back to the store”

He even mentions that people have mentioned to return it already

When I posted on social media about this, a lot of people told me to return it.

But I spent four hours installing this thing built into my kitchen.

At a minimum, I think what Bosch should do is make it so that the dishwasher can be accessed locally with no requirement for a cloud account. (Really, it'd be even better to have all the functions accessible on the control panel!)

Why would they do that, the person who posted it’s a prime example of why they don’t, he’s willing to just use it without the features, he isn’t even willing to return it even though it’s very clear he hates everything about the cloud requirement. Companies aren’t just going to change with no action. They change when there’s a loss of money involved, processing refunds because of the shitty mechanics hurts the appliance stores selling it which then snowballs into the store maybe thinking twice about buying the appliance again.

That is what makes companies change, not keeping the item and saying “oh well” I guess I’ll buy a different brand next time.

I was curious but good old auto suggest scared me away. It’s concerning when Hestia exploits is one of the suggestions, so I looked into it and saw a few hits. I didn’t investigate them though, I stopped looking then.

Fully agree, but also after an event the extent that CEO did, that’s going to be held over their head for years to come. The easiest way to get it out of the air is stopping the constant engagement that’s encouraging it. Mastodon was a pretty large source of that.

This right here, the everyday person doesn’t know what federation is let alone believes that it’s an alternative to federated platforms. They see it as a better Twitter that’s not run by Musk and honestly that’s all they need to know.

the amount of software I’ve used that lacks this type of system is aggravating. How hard is it to keep an object of property names, and if the name isn’t in it then it errors.

this can be continued into command line as well. if flag -z doesn’t exist, you shouldn’t allow me to run a command with it. It’s clear I am trying to do something (incorrectly) thinking -z is something it isn’t, just error it and tell me that.

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.

I wasn’t aware of this. I have another thing to add to my list to monitor.

what is the benefit of this, it seems like it just adds an automation layer that could fail that might be able to potentially be used as an assistant?
