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?

Years Active: 2004 to present - 20 years of work, “out of nowhere”. I don’t really care either, but the facts say this is a significant musical career. And she doesn’t seem to be slowing down. 14 albums, 14 films, 6 major tours, you can add up the live performances for yourself (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Taylor_Swift_live_performances).
I looked at that and thought ‘maybe with a boba straw’. smh
Good thing The Calculations show it’s Thursday!!
I haven’t used this in years! TY for reminding me.
With a tiny sharp one could snip off the heart crusher.
I had the ones mentioned off already, but just went and shut off all the ones that I don’t absolutely need notifications active. Good reminder.

What exactly am I seeing here? Tires, hay, and they are wetting it down with some slurry? In front of some fancy building?
I find it disturbingly funny.
How do you feel about government backed currencies?
