We learned things a long those lines a couple times when I was in highschool not that long ago, but I also went to a weird highschool so I’m not sure how much that generalizes

Thats fair. A na miata is basically my dream car, I hope to someday daily one in spite of being from the 90s 😅

I mean, a lot of cars have a genuinely phenomenal life span, if you don’t mind getting something that isn’t shiny and new you can probably get like a 2012 Toyota or Honda and drive it till the wheels fall off. My dream car is from the 90s and people still generally regard them as fairly reliable

Eventually it’ll be an issue, but that does leave a lot of time for nerds and hackers to find a way to gut networking stuff while telling the car it’s still intact. Dunno if we’ll ever see an open source car OS compatible with the systems in major manufacturer’s vehicles, but privacy workarounds feel like they could be pretty realistic

Awww, thats genuinely really lovely, I’m so pleased to hear it’s gone really well for them

Gotcha. Yeah I choose to use Mastodon, I’d much rather support the open community built option than the option built by a company with a profit motive, I just try to stay in the loop about stuff

Thanks for the answer :)

Did something specific already happen with Bluesky, or are people just expecting it because VC vultures now have their claws in it?

Its an allegory for the civil rights movement regarding race if I recall correctly, which I think people appreciate, and are just frustrated with certain details of how the story was contrived to express its ideas.

I remember liking it okay, but I frankly don’t remember it well, I mostly just remember sobbing a lot at the episode where data has a child because I love Data a whole bunch

Not who you replied to, but thank you, I misread the quote initially

Not entirely sure why you’re being downvoted to be honest.

Also not entirely sure I follow exactly what you mean, I think there are a couple ways that comment could be interpreted. But I don’t really see why folks are downvoting you 😅

It seems kinda appropriate to me. Somehow the republican party is the “patriotic” one, but they seem to be anti-democracy, anti-seperation of church and state, trump fucking hates folks who serve or served in the military, and they pay constant lip service to the Constitution, but in office Trump tear gassed peaceful American protesters practicing their freedom of speech and assembly.

I don’t think it’s a bad strategy to take the “patriotic” label from them, they sure as hell don’t deserve it.

I don’t know what ads you’re seeing, but basically every ad I see for Harris is about materially improving people’s lives 😅

Watch mojo presents: top ten reasons not to elect a fascist

Huh, learned something today, thanks for the explanation

It’d be easy to enforce for accounts marked as bots. Doing more than that would get a lil more complicated quickly though

Was this posted by a bot? It looks like they have an active comment history…

Yeah, profit incentives have warped the world in a lot of not so pleasant ways, but man do you really feel it with journalism. Even when it’s good journalism or a compelling story :/

Wait, what’s happening to permissions on android…?

I didn’t think I could install via a file on android, but it turns out you actually can! Thanks for the link :)

Thanks!
