I was able to get my Toyota’s DCM disabled and did a data collection opt-out with the company. It was a total pain in the ass and they tried very hard to dissuade me, but it is possible (depending on manufacturer).

Seriously? I moved to lemm.ee because it has a fair, democratic approach to federation, and doesn’t defederate at the drop of a hat.

I’d personally rather be able to see more perspectives and block the crazy at my own discretion.

My mom is in her late 70s, still working and flying around for gigs, and she always has her Switch and Breath of the Wild or TOKT with her on flights.

I think part of that is how many echo chamber instances have defederated from each other.

It’s actually a “test things first and have a proper change control process” thing. Doesn’t matter if it’s open source, closed source scummy bullshit or even coded by God: you always test it first before hitting deploy.

While I would normally agree loudly with you because he is human trash and the show sucked, it’s kinda the perfect level of trash and suck for this meme.

If they do, it’s pretty funny since .ml has been the only instance I’ve had comments removed from and they were a small joke and asking a legitimate question.

The EU has issued plenty of fines and injunctions recently against Western companies, just look the EU’s recent history with Facebook, Google and Apple.

And if you aren’t planning to vote for Biden, please go read Project 2025 and then explain your logic again, because what Trump and the Christian right has planned will be actual fascism, right in our own backyard.

Living in the US for most of my life, and voting in every election, I can tell you your assumptions are incorrect: a few states control most of the power here due to the electoral college, and everything down to state and local initiatives gets lobbied into the ground by special interests.
