Sorry, sarcasm is dead

Guess I’ll just have to touch grass.

Google, try pulling data from me being at the park when my phone gets left at home!

From what I’ve seen of real world examples, not “what if the car had 5 cats in it and the person on the crosswalk had a stroller full of 6 cat, swerve into a barricade?”, telsa cars just release control of the autonomous controls to the person behind the wheel a few seconds before impact so the driver is fully liable.

How do you “de-google” when most websites expect most browsers to use chromium and start requiring this to ensure companies buying ad space get the best bang for their buck security?

Same as reddit, same as Facebook, same and Twitter. It’s the same as any website. Anything you post is most certainly getting scraped to create a profile on you. Whether that is for nefarious purposes for just to better serve you ads is irrelevant.

There is no privacy to anything you post on the internet to public forums.

Just look at the effort that went into making “work from home” viable back in 2020. The fediverse is not a unique case of being a “privacy nightmare”.

For fun, try to “dox yourself” by searching on Google from a different IP and computer from what you normally use for your name, usernames, etc. to see what information is freely available to the public.

tldr: practice good opsec!

That’s awesome!

I don’t know why, but I’m reminded of an episode of Dr Who where Van Gogh was getting tormented by some alien. At the end, Dr Who saved the day and the companion asked if that saved Van Gogh from his demon and Dr Who said that Van Gogh still goes on to kill himself… and that’s just depression. It’s sad that someone could create such amazing works of art and have such a troubled life.

Don’t have kids…

3rd party reddit apps aren’t bogged down resource hogs meant solely to preload videos of “he gets us” propaganda. Do the investors even use the default reddit app? Of course not!

While this is funny, it drives traffic to the site so it’s the equivalent of people buying Nike shoes to then burn as protest. The company is still making money and they’re getting free advertising.

A better protest would be to delete Reddit accounts, uninstall the apps, and see how long you can go without hearing or thinking about reddit.

When I first used a backup camera in 2015, I immediately felt it should be required due to how easy it is to see if there is a kid or dog behind your car while backing up. I’m glad they actually did make it required! Though my issue with it now is how there doesn’t seem to be a standard resolution, field of view, etc. So some cars have a terrible backup camera, but there’s always turning your head around and looking back there!

Next they should make front cameras for personal trucks required!
