Well, I am here and have been for a while. I mean in the physical space I inhabit. And on Mastodon albeit on a different instance.
I have been known to practice the use of dry humour and irony. Making sharp contrasts and pointing out uncomfortable similarities can appear in my discussions with others.
Pro-European, left of centre in a society that is still intrinsically opposed to both.

My 2003 Corolla has a closed source engine management system.
But to hack it you would need to connect a device to the car via an OBD-II cable.
So there is no real risk of any potential software vulnerabilities ever being exploited.
More modern cars have electronics controlling everything and the separate systems, brakes, engine management, infotainment systems etc can be linked together.
With unintended consequences as with the 2015 Jeep Cherokee hack mentioned in the article.
@mcfly Definitely do not want a modern car, irrespective of driveline because of data collection issues.
I'm using a PinePhone as I do not like the data collection issues, walled gardens and other issues such as data sovereignty associated with Apple or Google's offerings so why on earth would I want a car with CarPlay or Android Auto in it?
Or the car manufacturers own version of such things?
Or closed source engine and brake management systems? Or always on internet access?
We can't find the internet
