Electric steering isnt actually better. They fail out of the blue and are unrepairable.

ok, grandpa. There is no such thing as power steering fluid leaks and belts slipping.

A lot has happened since then—all the way to self-driving cars… You’d better come back to reality.

So you think any car can be driven remotely because it has electric motor steering? You still trust your blender?

Answer: I can shut those off

Oh no , see, that won't work , you are so special that in the exabytes of data being acquired there is a committee of at least 20 people in China analyzing how much yogurt you eat.

Read this and burn you computer, sleep under a Faraday cage.

Sorry but I don't follow, what is your conclussion then, just don't get around the measures? You are saying that bypassing protections helps them fix the issues allowing the bypass by making them more visible, so what even is your concern if you are against tools to bypass them? You won't be able to bypass anything without them in the first place, so what are you trying to say? That we should keep the tools to a select group of people and not make them as broadly accessible?

If so, I oppose this thought quite a lot, as I believe that anti-surveillance tools should be as widespread as possible, to make it completely impractical to crack them down due to the sheer volume of people using them. Build more Tor nodes, radical servers, open-source alternatives and such.

And while some of the hacks being well known makes them easier to notice and fix, there is also more people who finds them valuable and can help in making them work. I don't ever see ads, and adblocking is very widely known and functional no matter how hard the baddies try. After the Nitter cease and desist I made my own instance at https://stopusingx.com to fight back, and I would never have done this if it wasn't out of spite. So I also feel that spreading concern and conclict is useful to make people aware of the issues we face.

You dont think electric door locks can be locked remotely ? They are tied into the ecu, of course they can. Throttles and brakes and steering are all electric and tied into the ecu. So I dont get if you are trying to say "this will never happen" or what.

If youre that ignorant , you better do some reading up because its damn scary.

If you think phones dont track you even when theyre off, look at protesters theyve arrested that had powered off phones. Its called shadow tracking (I believe).

If they had limited themselves to self-driving cars, then it wouldn't have been a fucking stupid thing to say.

But they didn't.

And it was fucking stupid.

Yes, ignore what I quoted and give a stupid answer. Good job. "Bud"

They cannot fucking "drive you anywhere". Don't be fucking willfully stupid.

"Are?" Aye!

@HapticClacking Depends on the site (no other site needs an account). On twitter, yes that's how it works!

so you're saying that with your extension you can create a throwaway account but you don't need to "verify your age" with twitter (and the other sites) in order to view nsfw? I suppose I don't know this stuff because I avoid all sites that require this, or I use a VPN from a sane country to view anything

@HapticClacking It's not total privacy, no, but at least you don't have to scan your face.Making a throwaway account is still better than sending a scan of your face in terms of privacy!

Still needs to be logged in to an account

That completely defeats the purpose of Privacy

The best part is that my cache lasts longer than the file is available on youtube

My truck is 2006. It has a cd player.

Just Lol for Life need a spy chief for this??

Alright man, youre clearly blind to what's actually happening. Have fun driving your camera infested rolling spyware thats only dealer repairable.

Electric steering isnt actually better. They fail out of the blue and are unrepairable.

Show me how much fucking fuel drive by wire saves over a cable. .00001 gallon? Fuck off. You can still have a tps with a cable by the way which I doubt you know because have you ever picked up a wrench? I have doubts.

Yeah when we get there. We have a whole shit ton of privacy issues to resolve before we go making arguments that cars should be online.

Wrong. Ive owned over 20 cars and never once had a throttle cable issue. Throttle cables on 50 year old vehicles work just fine. Several have had tps issues. And good luck buying one when they stop making the exact model for your specific vehicle when the factory in China quits making them.

Stop defending idiotic tech in cars that serves to only make shareholders money, like making everything a screen with subscription e brakes (joke).

Stupid argument I see all the time.

Answer: I can shut those off and unplug them or use a Faraday bag. You cannot do that with a new car if you need to go somewhere.

you know you're using a computer on the internet, right?

Is your carrier pigeon sick or did you finally find out birds are not real?

“safety” and “protect the children” is how they take all your freedoms away. And it works because people are stupid.

Yes, the smartest kids play in live traffic.
