You do realise that "licensing" your comments like this doesn't actually do anything, right? If that actually worked, you could license the comments under a license where every reader has to pay $100 if they read it.
Given the fact that comments on Lemmy end up on thousands of distributed federated servers, each with their own privacy policy, means that comments are de-facto public domain.
The error doesn't pop up just because you have a VPN connected. It pops up when it can't actually communicate with the car. All it's doing is adding some extra text to the error message if a VPN is connected.
Wireless Android Auto communicates to your car using Wi-Fi Direct. Something is preventing your phone from communicating with the car. Sometimes it's an improperly configured VPN.
Does your Wireguard route all traffic through the tunnel, or only traffic for particular IPs? If it works fine when your VPN is off, that means it's an issue with your VPN configuration. The Android TV version of Wireguard lets you select just specific apps to route over the VPN - does the Android phone version support that?
For what it's worth, I use Tailscale and haven't seen this error.
Yeah it's unfortunate. The nftables syntax is a lot easier though!
The same thing has happened before, around 15 years ago... Before iptables there was a system called ipchains. Migration took a while, but it was eventually done, and nobody talks about ipchains any more.
What's the disadvantage of being able to open it up? That's the part I don't quite understand. It could be disabled by default and require the user to enable an "expert" or "full featured" mode, or something like that.
I think we're going to eventually reach a point where the European iPhone is far superior to and more innovative than the American one, just because of the fact that you can do a lot more with it. Apple's software will have to compete on merit, not just win by default because it's the only choice available on the device.
I'm actually curious as to if it determines EU vs US based on where you buy the phone, based on country for the account, or based on something else entirely.
I want it locked down. I want it immutable. I want it matching every other device so im not fingerprinted.
That's totally fine... But it should be optional, so that people who want to take full advantage of their device (instead of being restricted) can do so.
I save money by holding an iPhone for 6 years, versus 3 years with an Android phone
There's no reason you couldn't hold an Android phone for just as long. Samsung and Google both offer 7 years of security updates.
Literally every transaction is stored in a public ledger that anyone can read. That's not exactly untraceable. Eventually someone will convert the Bitcoin to regular currency, which then links the transaction chain to the real world. Transactions can be clustered based on accounts at exchanges, and often patterns emerge once you do this. This is how some ransomware groups are uncovered.
I kinda agree with your sentiment. If I'm spending $1000+ on a device, I want to truly own it and do whatever I want with it. Unfortunately people have gotten very used to companies like Apple telling them what they can and can't do, and Apple artificially restricting things (like giving first-party apps special permissions that third-party apps can't get) so they make more money. It's not great that this is so widespread now. At least there's people like Louis Rossman that still care about these things.
If the manufacturer wants to have an "easy mode" where they limit what can be done, like what Apple does today, that's totally fine. Just don't force it onto everyone.
I hate that a lot of coupons are hidden in the supermarket's app. At least that's the case for Safeway. Some coupons are advertised on the price tag, but some aren't on the price tag, nor pop up if you add the item to the cart on your phone. You need to go to the coupons section in the app and search for one, or scan the barcode of the product to look for coupons for it. I'm not doing that for every item in my cart. Waste of time.
Prima facie evidence of unnecessary exhibition of speed shall be squealing or screeching sounds emitted by the tires, or the throwing of dirt by the tires of the vehicle, or both
EVs can accelerate quickly while not making much noise... I guess it's okay to quickly accelerate with an EV then?
These days it's a frontend for nftables. iptables is a legacy system that's eventually going to be removed (just like ipchains before it).
On modern systems, iptables is a wrapper around nftables. So you're essentially using nftables except without the ability to use any of its more powerful features.
