Public transit/bikes are (or should be) a good alternative if you can’t find normal, used, dumb cars anymore
Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?
ramble81@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoI mean, what’s the alternative? It’s not like it has to have internet. Anything internet connected is mainly quality of life:
- Traffic
- Remote (app) features
- Music Except maybe Teslas, damned if I know what they do. But they’re nice to have things that generally require realtime updates but the car functions just fine as a car without it.

That’s a non-sequeter. You started by saying that internet on cars were bad and then switched to “you should be using bikes”
EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Both of my statements are correct. Cars shouldn’t have internet and there should be less cars. In absence of offline cars, use bikes and public transportation

Again though, they are all quality of life things. You don’t have to use it on most cars. Don’t want it, don’t pay for it and don’t use it. So just like giving people the choice of AA/CP, what’s wrong with giving them the choice of using those features?

Just cause you opt out of those features doesn’t mean the car doesn’t have other mandatory shit that connects to the internet to, say, sell data like the exact times and locations of when you have sex
