Open source all you want! It doesn't change the fact that they're spying the contents of your screen no matter what input is being used with Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology

If you're close enough to buy, I suppose you're close enough to get it maintenance and fixed across the border. I doubt you can go to AutoZone and pick up a generic part. Although with a vertical integration, that's that's happening in the U.S. too.

As an open source developer, I'd rather have companies donate the subscription x months than tokens. Money would be amazing, but nobody really supports accessibility which is where my interests and time goes.

Unfortunately for the 2023 Nissan Leaf has a CAN gateway module. Basically, it's like a firewall or gateway to filter out CAN writing commands commands so you can't directly talk to the car with open tools through the OBD-II. Basically, it's a read-only port that's only when the car is powered on. Unfortunately a lot of cars are now starting to do this. I guess I'm gonna have to make a modified version of CAN tap cable for an unrestricted OBD-II port. :( https://docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/components/vehicle_n...

Can you freely download firmware and update the printer offline?

> Are the developers allowed to sell those keys for less than the Steam price?

I believe so. However, even if it's not I don't see any other platform allowing you to use their service and sidestep platform fees. Someone mentioned above that there might be limitations for the number of keys, but I'm not aware.

Regarding the 30% cut. Developers can actually generate steam keys and publish them on third-party sites which can be redeemed by users on Steam. Developers then get 100% of the profit.

Anything to fight the fragmentation that is for developers on Linux would be great. Packaging and wayland...

I think it's important to focus on the local geographically close group of people that we have relationships first.

Regardless of which way you slice it, it is really neet to be able to automate more aspects of our lives than ever before. It's not so much about the framework we use, the fact that we have the endpoints to use them.

> I'm asking this because I recently opened a PR to fix a vulnerability in an OSS project (RCE via pickle deserialization in Python). A day later, I got a fully LLM-generated comment claiming my approach was wrong and that I should rewrite it differently and telling the maintainers he could contribute "if the project is open to a more surgical refactoring." > > It's astonishing how often these encounters have been happening lately. > > I'd love to hear from contributors or maintainers whether this happens to them and how they deal with it.

Well, from the other side of the table, as somebody who helps maintain open source projects complicated by bounties. I've had automated PRs and replies from LLMs claiming to be people. I refuse to work with people or people with AIs that are unwilling to take the time to understand the challenges from a human perspective expressed in person to person discourse. People need to develop interpersonal relationships. I think what you're seeing is a response to what other maintainers are experiencing or, more than likely, the problem is as stated above, just from a different point of view. A human-first approach doesn't exclude AI-augmented solutions for technical problems. The reason code exists is to close a gap in human experience in software.

Claude really utilizes tools or develops its own tools well. If OpenAI could get their sandbox situation ironed out... I could switch.

I'm talking more about the plugin architecture not about the file format or third-party applications. sync plugins seems to be pretty limited compared to what's offered for a subscription.

FloatArtifact — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 17:34:09 +0000

I can't wonder if that's by design to make it hard for a plugin to have it's own sync mechanism. Definitely not proof of this that I know of, but a thought.
