It doesn’t shut the Fediverse; it just means each user needs to run their own instance so that the “user” doing the speech and the “publisher” liable for it are one in the same.

I own four 20+ year old cars. Don’t talk shit about stuff you have no clue about.

For most people in general, the value proposition is that an EV is a Hell of a lot cheaper and simpler to operate and maintain in the long run (I say as the owner of a mid-1990s small pickup truck, among other vehicles). Your emphasis on towing capacity and purchase price is subjective preference, not objective superiority.

For my subjective preference in particular, it may well be the first modern EV (“modern” meaning not some NiMH fleet sales only compliance car from the '90s) that I can actually stand to own, because “everything you’d expect from a ‘normal’ vehicle” includes spyware that makes it a deal-breaker for me. Having it stripped down is a feature that makes it worth more to me, not less!

It’s nothing less than a war against property rights.

They are pushing software into cars because they see copyright, and more specifically the DMCA anti-circumvention clause, as an excuse to retain their control over your property after they sell it to you. Rentiership is 100% of their goal, and providing useful functionality is nothing but an afterthought at best.

“Subscriptions” to hardware you already own is entirely FRAUD and executives of companies that engage in it deserve long prison sentences.

Why are you lying?

Except the Maverick isn’t an EV. It’s a hybrid, at best.

EFI and a radio with a digital tuner does not a “smartphone on wheels” make. This shit didn’t actually start until the mid-2010s.

IMO the trouble is that there are so many of the things now that I need a damn flowchart to understand how they work together and which ones I need.

(No, seriously: I want to set up an *arr stack but don’t understand how. Could somebody please send me a flowchart??)

Zero useful information about which routers are vulnerable. I’m just gonna assume my fully up-to-date OpenWRT with a non-default password isn’t.

I expect less AI and more effort.

Been using Kubuntu for 7 years now, after having previously used Ubuntu, Debian and Gentoo.

Not sure if that means Kubuntu belongs on the “Plateau of Sustainability” or if I’m just permanently stuck at “trauma-induced return to Ubuntu,” LOL

The point is, there shouldn’t be a distinction. To make one is to support prejudice against installing software from elsewhere.

If you use “installing” for stuff from the Google store but any other word for stuff from other sources, you are aiding and abetting Google’s anti-property-rights propaganda.

I got that sort of showing off out of my system two decades ago using Gentoo in college.

Hell, a top of the line graphics card alone costs as much as a decent used car!

Spoken like somebody who hasn’t shopped for a decent used car recently.

“Cash for Clunkers” really fucked us over.

I have multiple computers.

They’re running Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux and Linux.

That’s not what that means and you know it. It refuses to work unless it can successfully phone home over the Internet.
