It’s both!
It’s both!
I did notice Altria / Phillip Morris were also in that list. :-(
Perhaps so, alas. And the rates of obesity and diabetes continue to rise. sigh.
Imagine how much plastic waste could be eliminated if we just boycotted these companies.
How do you feel about government backed currencies?
WAIT A MINUTE!!! You mean Douglas Adams was actually an LLM?
So cars these days have anti-collision systems. One would think a million dollar boat, with millions of dollars in cargo, approaching a multimillion dollar bridge would have some sort of active sensing system to prevent a collision. That video shows the Dali strolling right into the support. It wasn’t a glancing blow, rather it was a direct hit. Either somebody f’d up big time, or major act of sabotage on US territory.
Huzzah! and furthermore, Here Here!!
What’s a good FOSS replacement?
More or less like that regarding work. And on weekends it’s nice to go places, and/or have a vehicle to haul stuff. But that’s not everyday. So yeah, common ownership of a vehicle for roadtrips, and/or hauling stuff would be an elegant solution.
LoL, I must be living the ‘life of Riley’, then. My commute is less than a mile, and almost always by bike. And most of my errands, etc can be done by bike, as well. And yet the need for a car in our family is indeed extant.
Thanks, that’s helpful. I’m reluctantly considering purchasing a vehicle, possibly even relatively close to new. The ancient beater I drive when the bike won’t do the job isn’t subject to these issues, and might even be proof against an EMP. Tho’ where the hell I’d get petrol in a post apocalyptic landscape is an as yet unanswered question. lol. I like the idea of the ‘bells and whistles’ of modern conveyances, and do so much in other spheres to limit corporate access that it makes sense to consider how to minimize in the case of a more modern car.
Wouldn’t end-to-end encryption with, for instance, Signal sidestep some of this data collection? Specifically related to text, telephony, video conferencing? Could one use a masked email to put a layer between oneself and one’s car/ car company?
I’m just ‘brainstorming’ as this is a big issue, and I"m sure there are folks that have done deeper study and thinking on these impacts on our privacy. What about using a VPN?
Why not both?
Useful Idiot.
Sounds like victim blaming to me. Have a great day.
I haven’t used this in years! TY for reminding me.
There was significant mis-information, which caused that uneducated choice. People didn’t all randomly come up with it by themselves. Blame the con-artist, not the victim of the confidence trickery.
The great thing, for most people, about a food being gross is that you don’t have to eat it. Is someone forcing you to eat olives? I mean, maybe you’ve just not tried fresh olives?
