This would be the last time I used that rental car company. If they wanted to make more money from you, they should have just raised the price. That is disgusting.

CC = "Creative Commons" not "Covetous Corporations"

If you're trying to make a profit, you can invest capital to do your own development or reach out to the source to arrange compensation.

This astroturfing of open licenses as if they are solely for the exploitation of profit and not of the common good is a terrible trend.

They engineered something and gave it away for free. It appears as if you are complaining that you can't use it to generate profit. This seems entitled to me, am I misunderstanding your position?

This has been rampant on reddit for years.

Agreed. My scroll wheel should scroll the page, not advance slides or split birds or whatever else. If you need to do this kind of information display, use buttons or a UI widget to control it. Don't hijack the HID devices I use for accessibly operating my computer.

This goes for Scroll Wheels, Scrollbars, the Back Button, the Right Click Button, or any other standard input paradigm. (please) Don't fuck with these! Some of us make use of accessibility features, and messing with our interfaces makes these break or behave in unexpected ways.

Don't use accounts at all for non-paid features.

Well, what I could see from this side of the wall looked professional and well put together. Impressive for a team of two.

Congrats on the launch, regardless. I will be sure to check it out when it becomes more accessible.

Why solve it at all? 10,000 fake accounts for every human is working out great for Elon. =)

Seriously, though - the solution isn't to prevent people from doing this, it is to remove the incentives that encourage it.

It is bizarre that creating an account on this service depends on me also already having an account on another, completely unrelated service. This unrelated service also requires me to provide it (and notably not Sonauto, the service I was actually interested in) my mobile phone number. This unrelated service also just recently admitted it collects data about you even when it says it doesn't.

As a community made up largely of picky nerds and pedants, it doesn't seem incredible at all that this comes up so often. More like inevitable.

Basic username and password auth has worked for millions for decades. If you absolutely must collect user data for some reason, an email address can be used as the username. This isn't a hard problem to solve.
