Lojcs , to Technology in The Toilet Theory of the Internet: Google is serving an audience that wants quick and easy results. That may lead to disaster.

One of the biggest advantages of using Linux over windows is the lack of those endless seo sites while troubleshooting.

Everything is still far superior than plasma search and I can't imagine that gnome/other DEs get close to it neither. Fsearch is close but it needs to do a complete resacn every time you use it instead of scanning in the background like everything

Lojcs , to Technology in Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge

If it's being done remotely it is not recalled, that's my entire point.

Most of my bother comes from how people are reacting with kneejerk appeals to the status quo instead of actually responding to what I (and others) wrote, think of me what you will

I'm sorry for wanting things to mean what they mean

Lojcs , to Technology in Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge

The only thing that is different in this entire process is how the remedy is applied.

And that's the thing that matters to the person who owns the car. Currently when a user sees that word they don't know what they need to do to fix it. You can have some other name encompassing both (like 'critical fix'), but if you keep recall for when that fix isn't user applicable, (and furthermore have specific names for the fixes themselves if they're user applicable) people would immediately understand

Lots of people here are disagreeing with me but I'm yet to see an argument about why that shouldn't be the case other than that it currently isn't. But even that's an argument for why changing the term would be difficult, not for why calling every fix 'recall' makes sense.

Lojcs , to Technology in Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge

Why cause confusion over calling software updates different things based solely on who installs it and/or how it’s installed?

Because they're different things? For the user it doesn't matter if they're both same legally, in one case they need to bring their car somewhere, in the other one they don't. If anything it's confusing to call them both a recall.

Wtf are talking about?

I'm talking about this specific word that means bringing the thing back from where it went in every context but cars.

Lojcs , to Privacy in Quad9 censoring DNS requests?

I see

Lojcs , to Technology in Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge

Where is the car being recalled to? I get that that's the word that stuck for 'critical fix' or whatever but if you don't need to bring it back that's not a recall. Call it something else.

they are installing a fix provided by the company

So the user is applying the fix? What else do you expect that to mean?

Lojcs , (edited ) to Technology in Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge

Yes, and as I said it is inaccurate. Legalese can be updated to better match the meaning of the word. Why is that such an unacceptable concept?

Edit: I'm really worked up about this. Seriously, why is changing the term that unimaginable to you people?

Lojcs , to Privacy in Quad9 censoring DNS requests?

Why would they pair dnssec with a mandatory blocklist

Lojcs , to Technology in Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge

Just because the government defined it that way 60 years ago when software updates weren't even a thing doesn't mean it makes sense to call a user-applicable fix a recall. It's literally in the name. Is it being re-called back to the manufacturer or not
