How to get a private car

Hello internet users. Someone in my family is looking to buy a car and wanted some recommendations for a private one. They are looking to buy new, and need Android Auto and CarPlay. I know all new cars suck for privacy by default, but I was hoping someone here could offer some insight as to which cars can be made better and what...

Emma_Gold_Man,

Sorry, but I have bad news for you. Privacy in major car brands no longer exists.

You don’t say where your family member lives, but you might look into smaller regional brands that focus on cheap cars for less overdeveloped areas of the world. Be aware the tradeoff is probably in safety features.

Emma_Gold_Man,

Definitely beatable as of last week.

(Assuming US jurisdiction) Because you don’t want to be the first test case under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act where the prosecutor argues that circumventing restrictions on a company’s AI assistant constitutes

ntentionally … Exceed[ing] authorized access, and thereby … obtain[ing] information from any protected computer

Granted, the odds are low YOU will be the test case, but that case is coming.

It’s the only one that’s actually UNIX.

Uh, no. I mean, yes it’s actually Unix, but so is BSD. In fact, OSX is only Unix BECAUSE BSD is - Darwin is BSD derived

Emma_Gold_Man,

There’s more truth to that than most people realize: Linux is only one kernel option in Debian:

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD

Debian GNU/NetBSD

Debian GNU/Hurd

Emma_Gold_Man,

You had an uncommonly principled principal.

kwin supports a tiling mode which it sounds like they’re already using, so … yes?

Emma_Gold_Man,

I can’t really answer the question of why, but the sample set of people I know who switch to vegetarianism and veganism bears out that the ones who rely in fake meats much more frequently switch back than those who focus on learning to cook foods that don’t imitate meat.

On the counterargument, I did miss cheese quite a bit, and learning to culture my own vegan cheeses hasn’t led to buying animal milk cheeses again, so ymmv

Emma_Gold_Man,

Depends. Not all nutritional yeast is B12 fortified

Emma_Gold_Man,

For bacon bits, they’re talking about the drid stuff in the plastic cans - “Bacos” and similar. They’re usually soy based with artificial flavor - probably for longer/safer shelf life

It wasn’t meaningless, and I went out of my way to make clear the sample size wasn’t statistically significant.

The point was that the parent comment implied there was no reason to start eating meat again after making a moral choice not to. My anecdote shows that some people do anyway, therefore there must be a reason.

That in my experience they tended to be the people who relied on meat substitutes was presented as an observation of interest, not as hard evidence of universal truth.

Emma_Gold_Man,

IF that were to happen, the difference would be that only the horses were treated humanely. Except for the whole killing thing, of course.

Emma_Gold_Man,

Archive.org doesn’t really “get away with it.” They face frequent lawsuits and have a steady stream of donations to fight them, along with enough staff to handle responding to takedown demands etc. That isn’t true of most Lemmy instances.

Emma_Gold_Man,

Probably because one of his alts was on dbzer0 and was banned for transphobia
