How do you feel about government backed currencies?
The Real MVP! Thank You!
The outside.
WAIT A MINUTE!!! You mean Douglas Adams was actually an LLM?
I prefer to vote early, by dropping my completed ballot off at the appropriate location.
Thank you O’ Cog for your toothy, spinny perspective!
And everything was taken care of for you by your parents? And you had no clue about the conflicts in the world, because you were 7?
Depends on distance, mostly. And size/ number of shot, ‘buckshot’ if it connected could be a real hassle. War is the pinnacle of Stupid Human Tricks. smh.
Looks like a whole lot of trouble for flinging a piece of lead in a ‘forward but otherwise random’ direction.
Don’t Panic, Go Organic!
If he “privately expresses” an opinion, why then must we be bludgeoned by it? Can’t wait till I no longer need to know or care anything about #45.
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?
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?
