Serious question: Is anyone making a list of where it may be possible to purchase a *new* car that isn't just spyware on wheels? I've seen the Consumer Reports study but it all just looks like varying degrees of suckiness.
I'd also settle for one that doesn't make it hard to turn all the tracking off permanently. Or maybe someone's got a nifty piece of hardware that can be plugged in to nix all this nonsense?

An excellent layperson's breakdown of how Bluesky works, beneath the hood ...
... specifically, what's decentralized about it (content storage, for now) and what, for now, isn't (the part that queries for updates in users' posts, and then assembles it into a feed)

November has sucked so far. One upside of the terrible nonsense is that more people are fleeing X. Many are choosing Bluesky. I’ve seen a bunch of takes about this recently, but I keep seeing things I disagree with. I figure that’s a good enough excuse to write more about this weird-assed social network.
