Yes, and when all the other car manufacturers add it, then it’s all on the consumer too, right?

Enshittification is a problem, because in our “this quarter’s profits trump all” world, sales leaders would be fired if they don’t join the race to the bottom on whatever their product. This then takes away the power of the consumer marketplace to push back by not buying shit products and ideas. Remember airline bag fees? Know anyone who doesn’t think they’re a bullshit cash grab? Yet do 100% of consumers thinking it’s shit have any power to change it in an industry with ~4 choices who all implemented similar policies within months of each other? There are countless other examples.

The mindset you argue pretends there isn’t collusion, and that there IS a competitive marketplace.

Rest easy, the non-funny article about Mazda product enshittification by subacription is here https://www.motor1.com/news/729233/mazda-connected-services-remote-start-subscription/

My boy, was just like me, yeah my boy was just like meeeeeeeee

And the cats in the cradle…

“It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,”

Spoken like every person who finally sees the antifa light when the dam starts to break and the chaos, violence, hate and anger fueling fascist movements finally aren’t wrapped up in “patriotism” any longer.

Don’t care, lock her up.

If you’re asking in earnest, the last decade has shown for profit corps know no bounds in using technology to extract, poorly protect, and often aggregate and then will make any attempt to monetize possible–often retroactively. While a dishwasher might not have much data in itself to exploit, if your internet connected TV, Car or phone which is constantly scanning for nearby WI-FI items or networks decided to start cataloguing them…well then that would just be a Tuesday for Google, Ford or Sony right?

The more data points, the worse. More breaches, more creepy facts about us floating around in some creepy company or regime’s stockpile of data to be used, unilaterally against me. Or maybe the next company to buy the current company I’m happy with. Or the next regime that decides people like me aren’t full humans. Between your computer and phone, most people’s lives are somewhat laid bare, but add in car tracking which auto companies have stuck their funnel into during the last 5 years, add in appliances, put Wi-Fi if your shower handle…again the people adding Wi-Fi to things like a dishwasher that don’t need it have only one thing to gain, monetizing your data and selling it to someone who wants to control you in some way.

I want Elon musk ISP like I want him at my dinner table.

Guys who are here hate this one trick!

What’s the internet rule that there is porn for everything you can think of? There has to be gun fetish gay porn. All sane Americans need to do is get whoever is more influential than Dan Savage to give the movement legs ala “Santorum”

Just like my weekly jogs are approaching the speed of light.

12-25 seconds is what it takes to reach terminal velocity. 1500 feet/450 meters is a conservative data point.

80-ish feet from this isn’t approaching terminal velocity.

Burial is the single family detached house of death. Needs to go the way of adding freeway lanes.

“Anybody that can cheat on elections like they cheat on elections, these are not stupid people,” Mr. Trump said of Democrats, even though there is no evidence to support his claims."

As a progressive incredibly frustrated with Dems since Obama’s misplaced moderation against extremists, I think that was inadvertently funny from NYT.

It’s not a bribe. It’s a gratuity paid after the service is provided when the electee or appointee leaves office, which is totally palatable and sustainable in a failed democracy.

God forbid the enormous amount of money be poured into the actual product rather than spamming an inferior one.

The #1 feature they won’t add: I hated this job.

They always show industry jobs and suggested connections from all your jobs…if they were human and not interested in maximizing data suck they would have talked to 3-5 users out of their millions and realized people have bad job experiences and want to delete the memory, not be reprompted about it for eternity. Also, even when you decline a suggested person, imagine your worst coworker, they suggest them again later. Fucking stupid robot company

Thanks to massive lobbying, and this won’t surprise anyone on Lemmy, but cosmetics as a whole have no regulatory oversight mechanism. The FDA can recommend things and it’s up to corporations to self-regulate, which usually works well with no significant fines to deter bad actors.

Don’t let your kids use anything.

Partenered with? It’s owned by BOA, US Bank, Wells Fargo and JP Morgan Chase. Might be used by smaller folks too but was started by those goons to try to capture mobile and p2p needs and is proprietary and doubtless whores your data. Stay away.

Nauseated. Though as an American I’m about ready to give up on this crusade. Nauseous means you make others want to vomit.
