Oh look if you buy a "modern" car that has a "cool-screen" and useless features, it costs you money to update that shit.
How cool. New business opportunities for the traders. Since you can't really make these boxes on wheels more useful than they already are, now they are adding more and more useless "Features". That's the incentive in a trade-based society.

What Is the Connection Between KKK Hoods and Spain's Easter Tradition?
The pointed hoods worn in Easter traditions in Europe do not have the same meaning as those in the United States.
In 2016, Trump Claimed Obama Founded ISIS. 2 Days Later: 'I Was Being Sarcastic'
Trump called then-President Barack Obama the "founder of Isis" and Hillary Clinton the group's "co-founder" in an August 2016 campaign speech.
I was wondering what kind of "data plan" (internet) can you get in EU that is a bit saner? All are filled with so much shit: from TV channels, to "minutes", to "we give you a mobile phone for free", or the "unlimited" data that is in fact limited or throttled to a few GB per day.
Messy fucking world. I would want a simple: this is how many GB you can use a month, that's the speed and it is not intentionally throttled. Done. And no different rules from EU country to country. Is such a miracle in existence anywhere in EU?
I was wondering for when we plan to move in a motorhome and I would need a lot of GB per day, plus decent speeds...
If anyone knows please speak now or never :)

'Golden Girls' Reboot to Star Tina Fey, Lisa Kudrow, Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler?
The classic television sitcom was about four older women sharing a home in Florida.
If you use our Friendica instance social.trom.tf/ you will see older posts popping up in your newsfeed - it is because the 300.000 or so unfinished "jobs" in the queue are finally dealt with by our system after the latest Friendica update. In a sense that's great since I was wondering what can we do about those, why can't our system "finish" those jobs. And by jobs I mean things like getting the posts from that friend, getting the updates from the other, etc..
Soon (perhaps today or tomorrow) all should go back to normal and our Friendica should work better in that regards.

Oh wow Matthias and Ann :) that was such a great surprise! Very positive video to see these people doing something to protect these seals.
I have a "technical" question @Dima . Here videos.trom.tf/w/8cqikT49xCZXR… did you put the sounds of that seal separately? When it was breathing? I've seen in many documentaries that they do the sound afterwards, even these little bits, and I think it makes it all more of a close-up experience. Because usually they film from afar and you cannot get a good sound of these creatures. And I love that effect of feeling the closeness of whatever nature they present. It makes it all so much better.
Anyway, I am very happy to see you continuing this work!
Never come close to the seals https://videos.trom.tf/w/8cqikT49xCZXRVSWEQY1BYAnother important video by @Dima . Support him if you can. His work is really inspiring and positive.

Thank you Tio!
Yeah, I was staying at Matthias places for a few days while I was in Belgium. And he also invited Ann to join us when we went for the seals :)
So it's very weird, But I was surprised by this sound. The fact that it was so audible, although I was quite far away. No it's real sound :) Imagine that! I just lower a little bit background noise and raise a little-bit his sneezing snoring :) But even without a tweaks it was audible quite well. I have a small shotgun mic on my camera, and it works very good, but it turned out also for a long distance. I really was surprised by that, normally you wouldn't hear that without very long shotgun mic. And I was quite far away :)
But quite often in such videos it will be different sound which is put on top, because it's quite hard to record a video of a wildlife and also record proper sound of it. Especially in a distance.

Ahh ok. Interesting, that for sure must've been loud. Because I thought you added that effect after since you were quite far away from what I could see in the video.
Great job as usual!

Our Friendica instance got updated to the latest stable and all of our custom themes were updated and we added 2 more: Brown and Grey.
Go to Settings - Display to test them out.
They will be shared with the Friendica's developers if they want to include them in the default Friendica's themes or get some ideas about future changes.
Big thanks to these people who create Friendica for being so awesome and for keeping Friendica so useful and feature-rich!

in reply to Tio • • •to be entirely fair, satnav companies have been doing this since the early 2000s at least, it's just that with modern cars the manufacturers can cut out the middle man there and just run the annual update racket themselves instead.
The far more dodgy aspect is that eg. BMW lock features like remote heating (so you can turn the heating in your car on in winter from your house so the car's warm by the time you get in) behind a literal monthly subscription

in reply to Tio • • •@mark I would quite like to swap out my current dinosaur burner for an FEV at some point but also even this car which is almost a decade old now has an infuriating amount of extremely locked-in technology about it and
like what are the chances that EVs don't even have DIN form factor dashboard computers anymore so you just straight up *can't* switch the manufacturer's audio/satnav system with one that isn't, as they say, a physical instantiation of a business model

in reply to the baader-minecraft gang • • •@mark like on this car I could buy an aftermarket fascia and just stick a 2-DIN Android radio thing in there to have OpenStreetMap and a Subsonic client to use with my home server and connect a reversing camera that doesn't cost hundreds because the manufacturer radio will only work with the manufacturer's cameras
and somehow I highly doubt any of that is possible on a modern FEV
