Hah. Love it

So now instead of being incredibly poor, they will starve to death. How fun!

Alright, thank you.

Didn’t read OP, what does this have to do with crypto?

Or what? You wanna jump through his screen you goblin?

Hah

Well, possibly for that very reason. No copyright!

Thank you for your service!

Yeah no, it is not that deep. I just did not know if I could not sign it. Appears I have to.

First, I am not a male. Second, I do believe the US gov has my data. Every single piece that is floating out there. I will still not share it with them, may there be the odd chance they do not yet have it.

Essentially yes

Oh absolutely, but they are asking me to agree with them handing it over to the US government.

Data accessibility in the US. I am sharing my data with the US government. I am just quite unsure of that.

If you can, always go for Linux. If you can’t, choose debloated Windows. Preferably one with telemetry disabled. Recommendations in other comments are quite valid.

Well, I still disable them. The theory behind them is, that they actually serve a purpose for the function of the site, whereas cookies in general can be used for a variety of actions. Like tracking. Realistically, the site will work just fine without.

I don’t know. I’m not gonna take a chance to believe somone just because his story is nicer to believe. He seems uninformed and said himself his points are “resonable” speculation. Which is not acceptable for me.

The car spying thing or Rossmann? Because the first is indeed a real issue.

Hah

Well, never downvoted my own comment before. Other points still stand. And yes, just to make sure, to anyone reading, do not just randomly start cutting wires.

Which would mean that, again, every time you enter a tunnel your car goes up in flames? I don’t know what you guys wanna tell me here but what you’re saying is bullshit.

If you can’t read your car’s repair manual, pay a mechanic to do it for you. I doubt they will say no. Almost every manufacturer has a rapair manual.

Most of the data collection does not happen from my phone bRoO. I use Graphene and if I don’t give my foss music app access to the internet, the app can collect as much data as it wants. Besides, what do I care if someone knows what music I listen to if in comparison the car manufacturer, who I likely gave my personal information to first hand, knows things far more private. I don’t have sex in my car, but if I did I would much rather have them know that I listen to “I’m a barbie girl” on repeat. And I doubt that cutting off connection will brick your car. If that was the case, my car would brick almost every time I enter a tunnel. The car does not check for connections like an effing website. If the comms were to be completely disabled or one would remove a fuse, sure. Your car might refuse to start, throw an error what have you. But if you simply remove the antenna, all bueno. Wanna know why they don’t refuse service without a connection? Because people would regularly die which makes this behaviour illegal :). And I do have to lecture you, as you seem to have a lot to learn and I don’t see a reason why anybody should put their pride first. I mean don’t even know anybody on here.

Oh and I did not say to randomly cut cables. I said to cut antennas. Do not under any circumstance cut a cable. It might be the windshield wipers or it might be a sensor for abs. You are absolutely correct that this is the worst idea one could have if they value their life. Well I mean no life means no privacy concerns.

Oh no tapes tablet to car. Anyways, why would you entire infotainment system not work? You would just have no internet connection. Radio doesn’t work, yes, however most sane humans stream music anyways which is possible via bluetooth or, in case the comms module would also disable bluetooth, cable. Your choice, private sex life or ✨features✨.

Which doesnt matter if the sim has no power.

Possibly. But wire cutters exist. Installing custom firmware for a car seems unnecessarily dangerous. Just remove the fuse, cut a wire or go to a local shop and get the comms system disabled.

If you tell us where you live (roughly) maybe we can find an alternative that you could not find

Yes, I have also been able to observe increasing focus on Linux.
