Then, they look confused when I tell them I don’t want the thing connected to the Internet.

But how will they know about your driving habits? How will they sell data to the actuaries? You’re being selfish. What are you hiding?

Keep up the attacks, fuck ‘em

This is hurting blue collar workers the most, FYI.

Can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs.

T156@lemmy.world on 25 Jun 2024 17:39 collapse

Crack enough eggs, and you won’t have any left for the omelette.

Nommer@sh.itjust.works on 25 Jun 2024 21:29 collapse

Oh well. If I can’t have any then the rich assholes shouldn’t either.

Also how the fuck does your analogy make any sense? "Keep cracking eggs (for the omelette) and you won’t have any left ( for the omelette you just made). Sick of clowns like you.

So your plan to fix capitalism is to make the working class poorer?

Yes, it’s us with a poor grasp of how things work. You don’t even know what this software is for. Hint: it’s not for selling cars.

So your plan to fix capitalism is to do nothing?

How exactly does preventing the working class technicians from working fix capitalism?

Yes it is you with a poor grasp of what this software is for.

Ok? I know what techs and service writers use CDK for, I was one for many years. I used CDK and ERA/Reynolds.

Hint: if it’s not for selling cars then how does it affect poor people the most?

By preventing techs from working and service writers from writing, they can’t even order parts to fix cars. And it’s not just dealerships that use this software, that’s a pretty ignorant and classist assumption to make about a huge segment of the working class population.

Despite your insane ramblings you’ve yet to explain how so I’m waiting to hear whatever excuse you pull from your ass.

Ok.

Nommer@sh.itjust.works on 28 Jun 2024 18:01 collapse

Oh so it just affected you personally got it. So that’s where all this is coming from. Now that that’s settled you can kindly fuck off.

Preventing workers from doing their jobs doesn’t actually hurt them. At all. It just makes it annoying to work.

NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world on 28 Jun 2024 20:24 collapse

Not getting paid doesn’t affect workers?

I think you’re letting your emotions get the better of you, and using an alt to upvote yourself is pretty sad.

Please report if they respond with their alt, they reported all of your non-rule breaking comments again - gave a temp 3 day ban for breaking rule 3 multiple times.

Thanks

Now we just need to nuke them all from orbit and move to a better transit world.

Too much of a leftist grift even for Lemmy, yikes

Probably because of the nukes, if you have a weapons platform in orbit you can do something like launch large metal rods and it’ll have the same destructive force without any of the nasty radioactive fallout

You’ve cracked the code, brother. You received 9 up votes and no down votes.

To be fair, the normal operation of dealership software is hardly distinguishable from a complete malware infection.

I’ve dealt with Reynolds and Reynolds, and ADP, and they are utter bags of moldy dogshit at the best of times.

I stopped using the dealership when they required paying by typing my card information into their http website. They said they couldn’t take physical cards anymore due to Covid. Then they handed me a pen to sign for the work to get my keys.

My kid’s doctor had their prescription service ransomwared. They paid it, and then got ransomwared again by the same folks.

It’s been six months now, the prescription system is broken, and they’ve been using paper prescriptions since then with no idea when things will get fixed.
