Yeah, if you watch shorts again it comes back. That's not really a fix.

I feel like something that's titled "and how to fix it" should tell you how to fix it.

It doesn't.

Glad to see those ~~legal settlements~~ bribes are paying off. /s

Agreed, the message to pregnant women is stay far away from this. Even if the number drops drastically, it is higher than anyone would want it to be.

[–] kevin@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago

I fully agree with you, the number will still be terrible. But it will probably be lower than 90

There are two potential issues with the study mentioned. Small sample size and most cases with pregnant women were in developing countries. My guess is that death rates among pregnant women are probably higher than normal, but not as severe as 87%. That number will probably come down as more cases are recorded.

Choose Nixos and get both!

The Title II difference is a very good point, all analogies fall apart at some point.

I agree the ISPs, like many other companies, will all be courting the new White House to get what they want.

As far as the car itself, BMW provides you with a product. This differs from a service where the provider can set in place rules that you need to abide by. If I want to chop the top off my new BMW and install ugly spoiler, there's nothing that BMW can do about that.

[–] kevin@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

All very true, BMW is a very scummy company lately.

My argument was that primarily, BMW is a manufacturer of a product. It would be a better analogy to a modem company being sued for the content that was transmitted through their device.

Side note, I think the feature unlock trend in cars is the worst possible thing.

The relationship is different though, BMW is not a service provider.

A better analogy would be the phone company. Is it their job to monitor their customers conversation and determine the legality of what is being said?
