Has anyone regretted buying a fully electric car?
  • Privacy and security concerns, most of them are like big tech on wheels. See Telsa and others spying on users during intimate moments. Also most have major security vulnerabilities.

    Anyone have an opinion on mobile hotspot by CalxyOS?
  • Yeah I assume they're good on privacy, but having a WiFi network showing global position isn't ideal. In case you're not aware, all WiFi networks are globally traversed and public information. wigle.net for more info

    Maybe have the network name something generic to your region and then a VoIP number and Signal/Briar/Session/whatever

    Thanks for the info!

    Anyone have an opinion on mobile hotspot by CalxyOS?
  • Yeah, only US probably due to the "education" radio frequency stipulation for their nonprofit to get the service at all. Which is why I want it, to study

  • Anyone try out these hotspots? Any opinions? The cost is comparable or cheaper to buying directly from a phone provider. Are the hotspot devices decent? Customizable?

    The non profit itself seems interesting and privacy focused. Their OS seems well maintained and it "just works".

    AI will capture carbon through reverse buzzwordolysis
  • Seriously. It isn't helpful towards the environment if we are using so many resources to mine chips and metals and then push it along the internet to then be trained on said AI bots. Would be more sustainable using paper and planting trees smh

  • Lemmy does not remove exif data (unless the code has changed), you need to remove it yourself (also a good practice in general)

  • I think this is why most people don't think long on what "reality' is. And can't blame them, day to day life is difficult

  • With so many variations of Lemmy and fediverse instances, are there any defenses against a malicious server running altered code? Is there a way to prove what code is supposed to be running on each instance?
