I do run a number of self hosted things, (nextcloud, immich, plex). I had my own pw manager, and had tried keepass myself and when it came time to push the family to using a pw manager I just opted for bitwarden here vs taking ownership of managing that too!

Hell, it's still a literal fight/push to make them understand the importance of it

Well, a big reason I ended up with bitwarden is being able to have a family group that I can help foster, encourage, force my family to use a password manager by having/showing them how these work , why they should use them and continually point them to the app to save and/or retrieve passwords.

The barrier to entry for non technical users is much lower. I don't want to manage making sure everyone's db is safe/synced etc... either

Sigh... I hope this isn't the first move of enshitifying bitwarden. I read the comments/replies and hope this is benign but I'm now nervous

Primaries are a different issue, that falls back to apathy by voters and money spent by politicians l (name recognition) good or bad unfortunately.

That happened because I edited it a couple times and ended up going a bit overboard there :/

I think it's simpler, and dare I say worse, than that. US voters on an American "team" have a hard time voting for the other American "team". Both sides will pinch their nose and vote "blue no matter who" or whatever the red version of that is.

THAT is a larger problem.

And I'm not implying actively voting for a criminal is not terrible, just that there's a larger problem that leads to that. Both sides can be blinded by their loyalty.

I'm also not saying both sides are equally bad, just making a statement about what this hard-line team stuff has done to our politics

Oh ya for sure it has a sim.

If it were my daily driver I'd dig in, find the antenna and shunt it to ground so it could not communicate

My wife is already not fully onboard with my need for privacy from these companies so I won regarding not activating the car but not sure she'd let me start pulling panels to find and kill the antenna.

Let's pretend this isn't a sure thing and get out any vote assuming team red is going to come out in droves!

Ya a lot will have gps built in but as others have said, the map will be static (whatever version was put in when built). Unless you have it updated by connecting it or buying an updated USB or whatever is required for your car

So ya it's likely yours has both a gps antenna and navigation built in.

We just bought a new car this year (Kia) and I completely confused the sales lady when I told her we were not going to use the "connect app" or activate connect on the car itself. She was like "lets get you setup in connect" and I was "no thanks"

We have a nice 🚫 symbol with a radio tree behind it, so I 100% know the car is still connected to the cell network but it is not registered/connected to us, and no app installed.

Sure, we lose some functionality (remote start, and access to in-car wifi) but all of that is paid subscriptions. Sure they first x months are 'free' but after you gotta pony up $ to continue.

Note: I'm under no illusion tracking is just not happening for us now... I just want to make it harder where I can.

I use pihole+unbound right now and hoping that is unaffected

Forecast had it miserably hot, but turned out to be decent. Way nicer than I was expecting.

O'Day 23-2 rafted up to a 32' Benateu, and another O'Day (272LE).

Just out here on vacation and drove past this thing... Never seen anything like it.

Folding trimaran.
