Maybe you misunderstood me. My car can be in New York City and I’m in Los Angeles and I can check it’s location and lock/unlock the doors

3-10 miles is nothing though. With a cell phone connection your car can be anywhere a cell tower is and you can connect with it.

That’s not what this is though. I have a Hyundai Tuscan that is always connected to a cellular network.

I can always connect with the car with my phone if both the car and phone have internet access. It’s also how the “find my car” feature works. And also I believe software updates (OS and maps).

I think op just doesn’t understand what the subscription is for.

Same for me. I have the blue link with Hyundai. It’s free for 3 years, then a reasonable amount after that.

Worth noting that these features appear to require your car to be connected to a cellular network. This isn’t the same as BMW charging a fee for heated seats.

They could have just put a SIM card in your car and required you to pay your cell phone provider for a connection.

I just don’t think it’s possible for something to kill the fediverse. And if it is possible, then it is a flaw in the design of the fediverse and needs to be fixed.

I think you’re right. It looks like Instagram too. I feel like it’s Instagram with a focus on words.

Does the instance owners read your DMs? Does Reddit read your DMs? You never really know.

I would imagine being open to federation is all that’s required for the EU.

Also, defederation doesn’t mean they can’t access federated data. They can even interact with it. It just doesn’t get synced back to the original instances.

How is Zuck being fucked over?
