Looks like my 2019 Corolla is going to remain my car for a very long time.

From what I can find in my research, it seems to be the newest model that didn’t get the tracker from the factory. (the hatchback variant did get the tracker in 2019, but the sedan didn’t)

Cool Hand Luke had some good ideas.

the only ethical thing to do is not have kids!

Or smash the surveillance apparatus

But how is a car getting Genetic information.

Fart sniffing seat sensors?

If the dealer thinks they can get away with

That is different than "voids your warranty "

That’s just normal dealer shenanigans.

Not necessarily.

A phone that goes to a university campus for a few hours each day then to a mall for 4 hours every evening will imply a much different level of income than one that goes to bankers row on Bay Street during the day, and also goes to some international destination for a week at a time several times a year.

All without needing to know exactly who is paying the phone bill, or who is carrying the phone.

Apparently, the company hired to do the analysis can tell someone’s age and income level from cellphone data.

According to Environics own website they use cellular data in combination with other databases to infer those demographic signals.

It doesn’t use only cell data to determine your age or income category.

Exempted for now…

Depends how these new laws are written.

Is it fair to say: The field is benign

It is benign if it is optional, remains 100% local and under the user’s control and doesn’t prevent other software from functioning as expected.

Those are also entirely optional and not having them filled in doesn’t cause other software to stop doing what the user wants.

So… if the law interferes with your goals, apparently it is now perfectly fine to just ignore it.

That seems to be the approach the US government is taking.

You can also try Kdenlive, though I have previously had problems with it

It has had a lot of development in the past few years.

I haven’t had a crash in … I can’t remember the last time. probably at least 2 years.

Epstein’s “day job” was being a socialite.

…

because he was the guy who knew everybody in a position of power, his network shows who has the power.

Exactly. He was actively seeking out wealthy and influential people to add to his circle of influence.

If it is a cheat sheet as in commands

With most modern distros, I would say that most typical users shouldn’t have to go to the command line any more than they had to in windows (which is to say very seldom).

Yet there is that lingering reputation that you have to be some sort of command line guru to even think about using Linux- and that simply isn’t true. Hasn’t been true for decades.

back then, I thought it was some scary OS for people who’s tech savvy

That “too hard, too scary” reputation is a big part of what has held back linux adoption.

But when people actually give it a try, most realize that reputation isn’t really true.

That’s the beauty of Linux- there are so many distros to choose from.

Something for everyone.

And if enough people don’t like the existing options, you are always free to fork what exists and make something that fits your needs better.

What wording would you have them use?

Interesting… I wonder why?

Haven’t heard of kjiji, I’ll have to check it out.

It’s essentially Craigslist, but in Canada.

Craigslist doesn’t really have a user base here.
