How about just remove the car’s ability to not be able to send messages to anything? You know, like an air-gapped PC.

Okay you go me. What does the tye dye do to weaken regular humans? Is it tripping on acid in a Grateful Dead concert?

You’d be better off doing the former as there don’t appear to be any services that de-ratfuck your privacy in modern cars. I was recently forced into buying a '22 Chevy Bolt but discovered a DIY method of removing some of its OnStar telemetry by following this guide:

So roughly $1.7 billion for its lifetime. What a bargain.

Why can’t cars just be simply made with no communication capabilities whatsoever? The obsession with car companies wanting to collect and sell data on top of selling the vehicle in the first place is obscene.

That does explain the spike in local Grindr use wherever the GOP has a big meetup.

I think defederation speaks volumes of the quality of the content in the instances that are blocked, wouldn’t you agree? I wouldn’t want to listen to genocide apologists or astroturfed propaganda. Yes that means the echo chamber gets a little more closed off but it’s a prevention of exposure to some bad actors. I certainly wouldn’t want to put up with people who do Charlie Kirk or Tucker Carlson moves by “just asking questions” all the time.

You can always go to another instance that wishes to associate with them. The idea of the fediverse is you get to pick the experience you want.

Reminds me of a quote from A Canticle for Lebowitz:

The horizon came alive with flashes as the monks mounted the ladder. The horizons became a red glow. A distant cloudbank was born where no cloud had been. The monks on the ladder looked away from the flashes. When the flashes were gone, they looked back. The visage of Lucifer mushroomed into hideousness above the cloudbank, rising slowly like some titan climbing to its feet after ages of imprisonment in the Earth…

…The breakers beat monotonously at the shores, casting up driftwood. An abandoned seaplane floated beyond the breakers. After a while the breakers caught the seaplane and threw it on the shore with the driftwood. It tilted and fractured a wing. There were shrimp carousing in the breakers, and the whiting that fed on the shrimp, and the shark that munched the whiting and found them admirable, in the sportive brutality of the sea. A wind came across the ocean, sweeping with it a pall of fine white ash. The ash fell into the sea and into the breakers. The breakers washed dead shrimp ashore with the driftwood. Then they washed up the whiting. The shark swam out to his deepest waters and brooded in the cold clean currents. He was very hungry that season.

Do you even know why the vote to defederate from Feddit came up? It’s because there are quite a few Palestinian genocide apologist accounts from there. It’s like the Nazi bar problem, you tolerate a few hanging out there and suddenly everyone else leaves while it gets full of them. I’d rather not hear that shit myself.

Things are done there by consent. I see that’s something you don’t approve of.

Why stop there? They should only accept unconditional surrender from Russia. They were the aggressors after all.

I’ve been waiting for GPU prices to come back down to earth since 2019. I really hope you’re right in a few more years.

We vote on who we want to defederate from. Our vote threads even have cool pirate themed images and stuff.

Always wanted to try a democracy sausage.

Laughs in @lemmy.dbzer0.com.

He’s creating the humanitarian threat and saying only he can fix it by “making a deal”. What a joke of a president and a gross representation of those who voted to have him into office.

Might be an ergonomic issue with either sitting on an ill-positioned computer chair or driver’s seat for too long. Side sleeping could also be a contributor.
