social.overheid.nl/about is the official Dutch government mastodon server

Considering that Apple in the future is going to require even tighter integration with CarPlay (including handing over control to all screens and sensors to CarPlay), which Tesla may not like.

Prosecutors described [the next generation of CarPlay] insidiously as taking “over all of the screens, sensors, and gauges in a car, forcing users to experience driving as an iPhone-centric experience if they want to use any of the features provided by CarPlay.”

That makes sense. But in that case, why doesn’t apple impose data privacy standards on cars that want to integrate CarPlay? It would still allow car manufacturers to design their own software. I’m not sure I’d trust CarPlay to safely operate all of the sensors and displays in a car. What if the speedometer freezes for example? Or if the car suddenly detects a car in front of it (that doesn’t exist) and brakes because of it? It just seems like a really bad idea to grant such levels of control of the car to CarPlay, which isn’t evaluated to the same level as standard built-in car software is (afaik).

Or, better yet, Apple should lobby for comprehensive data privacy laws in the style of GDPR, which would at least help resolve these privacy issues industry-wide. And, to their credit, it seems like they are to an extent. My opinion is that hardware car functions, such as air conditioning, windshield wipers, seat warming, etc. should be managed by the car software, and navigation and music should be managed by CarPlay. Though of course opinions may differ here.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the country where the SIM originates. A prepaid eSIM from an EU carrier (as secondary sim) is pretty cheap though and might work if this is what they do.

I literally just finished season 1 today. Thanks Janet

AWS is very expensive. There are other compatible storage options, like Backblaze B2 and Wasabi, that are better for this use case

Be careful with this though. I think I remember some jurisdictions require server owners not to delete CSAM and report it instead. Verify that you aren’t obligated to keep it before deleting it

ABluManOnLemmy ,

I think that if, in good faith, the person is unable to accept more CSAM due to the fact that their hard drive is full, there isn’t an issue. The intent of the law is that, it someone knows something is CSAM, they need to report it. I don’t think the government is going to come hard on Lemmy server owners unwittingly receiving CSAM through federation (though they certainly would want them to report and take down the CSAM on their servers)

Apple just claimed an exception. It’s still up to the EU to determine whether it is actually exempt or not.

We already have a europe-wide ticket. That would be the Interrail pass. Unfortunately it’s not intended for commuting and so it isn’t truly unlimited in one’s country of residence. Also costs a lot more than €49/month for unlimited travel, but includes high speed trains too (sometimes with a mandatory reservation charge)

They should try 𝕏

Bulgaria, Cyprus, and Romania are still not on the US Visa Waiver Program list, despite being EU members. So there is still no full reciprocity between the EU and US on visa-free access.

I’m glad to have moved from a country where taxes and (high) expected tips are on top of the price, to a country where tax is included in the price and tips are usually not expected. It makes a surprising difference in affordability when you can actually buy a €5 item with €5.

As soon as companies started asking for tips at self check-out, it became obvious that it’s just a way of trying to underpay their staff and shift that responsibility on the customer.
