MFW American democracy is being gutted to pieces by the SCOTUS.

As part of the CUSMA trade agreement, I think us Canadians and Mexicans are allotted one sigh of disappointment...

Como parte del acuerdo comercial T-MEC, creo que a los canadienses y los mexicanos se nos permite un solo suspiro de decepción...

I have experienced an issue sort of like that in the past, where my computer occasionally won't do anything other than spin the fans, unless there's a working connection to a monitor...

Well it would be a win-win for India, basically Russia gets paid in customer loyalty store points.

Flying a VTOL aircraft seems out of reach for me as most are either helicopters or military, but an EVTOL seems like something that could be in reach for me within my lifetime.

No one person/company/entity can know everything about me.

Well, they could, but the price would be high and I suppose I'd end up dating someone who went through that level of effort to know me anyway. :P

Trrra... Tut tut! Tut! Trrra... tatatut!

You're right. I was hoping conspiracy nuts wouldn't be looking for the obvious solution.

You can be tracked with facial recognition, etc. but not in the same way or with the ease of a car as demonstrated in the article so I think that my point is relevant to the article. Sure some states ban or don't have traffic cameras, but in Ohio specifically, we see that a better intercity transit system could be better for privacy.

I already mentioned that sure, mass transit doesn't work as well in rural and remote areas. Clarifying my point on that: planning cities for more density, more walkability and car free travel is good for country people outside of those cities, because it keeps the suburbs from sprawling out into the countryside. These exurbs take up what could have been useful farmland with people who are just LARPing country life and spend 4 hours every day travelling to and from their job that was in the city anyway.

There is a record of you being the owner of a 1986 Fiero. Nobody needs to know the make, colour and serial number of your bike unless you register it in a system to ensure it's not stolen.

US and Canadian Intercity trains have upped security since 9/11 like everything so there is more tracking than before. You can still buy tickets with cash at least. Denser cities make it easier to blend in the crowds.

And yeah my last car had no always connected tech bullshit, and if you live in a remote area then of course, mass-transit isn't for you. Rural folks do also advocate for better city planning because it helps keep suburbanites out. Extreme cold and heat (beyond +/- 40 deg C) makes it hard but most winters and summers it can work

The government knows where you live and where you go pretty much all the time when you're in a car. That includes your lifted pickup truck and your minivan covered top to bottom with words.

All yous conspiracy nuts out there, let's advocate for better bike and passenger train infrastructure and walkable cities, to make it harder for governments to know where you are and track what you do, thanks.

My crystal ball says this feature gets shut down within 3 years after it gets released.
