I think they are very mistaken about the options requiring a subscription and their price. Most of the options you could get a subscription for also are available as a one time purchase… the same way they were in the past. Heating and air conditioning aren’t among those options, they come standard in every car.
BMW did drop the subscription for heated seats after backlash. That one was stupid. The other options I’m a little torn on. There are costs associated with developing the software used for most of the options like driving assistance. I have no problem paying for that development, and the subscription lets me try it for a month to see if it’s worth it. As long as there is the ability to outright buy the option instead of locking into a perpetual subscription I’m chill with it. I also hope that once unlocked, the option is still available when resold. This part I’m not so sure about, but mine seemed to maintain the options purchased by the original owner.
It’s not a super recent article, but a list of options and pricing is available at the bottom of this page: https://www.kbb.com/car-news/bmw-quietly-launches-in-car-subscriptions-in-u-s/
I couldn’t figure out why he looked so familiar. Once again, the comment section delivers!!
Haha, something about not throwing your cigarette butts out. My Portuguese isn’t so good.
Portugal has plenty of kitties to pet
This dude didn’t want us to leave. He kept nibbling at my hand when we’d stop petting him.
I returned my first oled because of this. It was maddening reading and writing, and made any graphic design impossible.
Bought a new one this year and they seem to have solved the problem.
God damnit, now I want to try to carbonate pasta sauce.
Oh man, I’m going to have to photoshop that in later. I bought these to hang in the bathroom at work last year.
That settles it, my next cat will be my named Nandor the Relentless.
Choosing wine for the table
I took this a few years back at an outdoor dinner at this restaurant in the hills in Tuscany. Dude hopped up and sat in front of the wine list. Best dinner guest ever!
Pliny is also from the outside
Found him frozen in the middle of winter and thought he was dead. Bottle fed him, and now I have a 12 year old permakitten that hops on me any time I sit down anywhere.
Lemmy, AITA for disliking copied content from Reddit in the AmITheAsshole community?
So, I get that someone is trying to populate this community with posts using the lemmit.online bot. And that the vast majority of us are coming from Reddit. And that AITA is a staple community that we’re used to seeing in our feeds.
However, it seems like that just copying content into an otherwise empty community is just feeding a sterile wasteland. There is almost no engagement on the copied posts, and worse: I think it will smother any actual new content that gets posted in this wasteland of copied content. (I stand corrected, after trying to post this there I found out that only mods have priveleges to post. It’s worse than I thought, and I’ll probably just block it from my feed if it’s only a Reddit echo chamber)
What do you think, AITA?
