is displaying in-car commercials and calling it a "treat." Proprietary software always abuses you - it's not "if," it's "when."

@purism So I pay for a new car I own and they still show commercials to me?

That's a really stupid concept ...

@purism We need better laws and to avoid BMW. It is not the first time they do "fun stuff" -- other was "pay subscription to use your own hardware".

@purism Hmmm, would be a shame if we also have to boycot European brands.

In my opinion it is not the country of origin of a company that is important, but the values that a company applies.

When you use *online* services of a company, the jurisdiction is very important though.

@janvlug @purism partly agreed. I think there are good reasons to avoid cars from China or America nowadays, as these are fully on-line these days.
