Precisely

The situation here is rather bleak really.

Generally these cars have their own always on cellular data connection paid by the manufacturer. So they don’t depend on. Your phone for anything.

What they do is record and transmit any sensor data they can. The sexual activity you mentioned, comes from the sensors in the seats that are required to activate seatbelt warnings, or disable the airbags if a child is in the seat. Data from those pressure sensors can be used to determine if there’s a certain kind of rhythmic motion happening in a given seat.

They also collect any and all data they can from devices they connect to. Like phones. So don’t use carplay, or android auto. Don’t use their app. When using Bluetooth audio don’t give permissions to make calls or access contacts.

It should be possible to physically disable the onboard cellular radio. That will prevent any live data tracking. Exactly how depends on the specific car you’re looking at.

I would assume the dealer can access and download the data manually. Use private non-dealer repair shops for any regular maintance or any repairs possible.

I’m fully aware, and disagree.
Someone else called it a Slippery Slope. That’s closer, but still not quite right.
It’s actually Reductio ad Absurdum.
Which is a useful thought exorcise when analyzing many ideas.

Is it?
Are you saying you would support bad people under the right circumstances?

It’s your idea.
All I did is assume all good people agree with you.

Do you think they’d stop being bad people if they couldn’t make an honest living? Would it be better or worse if they were on the street? Do you think they might resort to criminality also?

Do you feel better knowing they aren’t getting your money? Even at the cost of them ever doing anything good for anyone?

Is it harm reduction if all the bad people couldn’t make an honest living? Would it be better or worse if they were living on the street? Do you think they might resort to criminality also?

I’m sure a few bad people make a living maintaining it, and all the roads you depend on everyday.

Bad people are everywhere, doing all sorts of jobs you appreciate.

It sounds like you’re arguing that bad people shouldn’t be paid to anything good.

It’ll be easer when you point out they don’t have adds.

65million was the number I learned as a kid born in 1980.

Sometimes terrible people can do good things.
Those good things should be supported.
Judge a project on it own merits.

People still use the Autobahn.

Our comments right here on the Fediverse, are a good example.
Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, and numerous others, all use the same open communication standard; Offering very different services and experiences.

Collabra seems close. They do use ODF. And you can host you’re own server.
But they don’t seem to use E2EE. And the collaborative aspect doesn’t apear to be an open standard you can use with different software packages.

Is there an open standard for encrypted asynchronous colabreative document creation and editing?

That is me. Numerous people have called me “The most literal person I know”.

I wrote only exactly what I meant.

I would TALK to her about looking for someplace to live she does feel safe.

And literally… Advocating Talking about something, is not advocating Doing that thing.

“She not gaslighting” was the first paragraph.

Looking back I don’t see anything I wrote, that says they should move, or anything about abuse at all.

My second paragraph recommended a conversation. One which I’m sure would illuminate more of her thoughts; Possibly exposing inconsistencies in her logic, if she is genuinely being manipulative and abusive.

Or possibly we’re both wrong, and reading things that aren’t actually written. You’ve certainly proven a tendency for that with what I’ve written.

Sure all of that is true. But also outside the scope of the direct question.

Because he’s so much more elderly than trump.

To answer your specific question, in this example, no she’s not gaslighting you. Gaslighting is a special form of lying intent on having you doubting your own reason, judgement, and even memory, in favor of someone else’s.

In this case, it sounds like she’s afraid of her own neighborhood, and is depending on you to make her feel safe. Were I in your position, I would talk to her about looking for someplace to live she does feel safe.
