Polite reminder that if you're driving the right kind of car, the guy doing this to twitter right now can also do this to your steering and anti-lock brakes.
@mhoye he would.
@benteh Somebody calling themselves "catturd420ngo" is going to tell him that you can't spell transportation regulations without "trans" and six hours later Teslas start autopiloting themselves into oncoming traffic.
@mhoye there is no dystopia darker than reality

@benteh @mhoye
Makes me think of MATRIX RESURRECTIONS and how the antagonist combats Neo/Trinity during the motorcycle chase. I took that scene as warning against vigilantism or stochastic terrorism AND probably also self-driving cars; robot dogs with guns (or the home models wielding knives in jaws); and Neuralink-type crap.

The graphic violence and body-mind horror of that scene is IMO meant to remove the sheen from the idea of jacking in or brain implants in general. And be allegory too.

@mhoye Only if you have an incorrect opinion!
@eelco The boots aren't going to lick you back, kid.
@mhoye Ah, you're an American! — Must be, after all: only Americans don't understand irony.
@eelco I'm Canadian. And tragically, that opinion is voiced sincerely by far too many people on both sides of the ocean.
@mhoye that tool deleted the LiDAR and that’s why FSD is a scam . Hardware mistakes you can’t code around
@mhoye You want to brake more than 600 times/month? Upgrade to Platinum Braking for $9/month!
@mhoye for this and so many reasons I will never buy one, but I'd like to think the layers of Elon Flappers that the car co organicallg grew in self defense would buffer the worst of the dangerous nonsense like that. Twitter never had a chance to grow those layers before he turfed out anyone who wasn't desperate or a sycophant.
@mhoye And open your garage door.
@mhoye the Alt-Right kind of car, even.
