What if they connect to your hotspot?

I use Syncthing-Fork on my android phone, which seems to work fine.

Hell yeah!! My city!!!

Vegans on the whole recognize the biological complexity of life (i.e. multi-cellular organisms with the capacity to experience pain and pleasure through a nervous system and beyond, compared with uni-cellular or even multi-cellular organisms that don't have such a system) and balance it with the quantity of pain and suffering throughout the world.

Basically, vegans by and large care about reducing the greatest amount of suffering for the most complex life on the planet (especially animals on the brink of extinction).

Usually we direct this goal towards rescuing farm animals, fighting elephant or lion poachers, saving rainforests, banning fishing in sea sanctuaries (or at least the use of purse seines that dredge the ocean floor), etc.

Yeast isn't the biggest concern because 1) it isn't considered towards the complex end of the spectrum of life as we know it on this planet, 2) we don't have good evidence to show that yeast experiences pain, and 3) there are closer goals to achieve, like advocating for reduced animal consumption, alternative clothing to leather or fur, increased organic farming to offset nitrogen runoff in oceans, etc.

Achieving policy paradigms is one of the most impactful ways to improve animal suffering the world over, whether that's increasing taxes on animal based products, reducing incentives for producers to make those products, capturing externalities and embedding them into businesses' bottom lines, or straight up refusing permits and zoning to allow these kinds of economic activities.

Welcome to the world of veganism, where nuance is your best friend, and yeast is fine to eat

Oh god!!!!!

I think all of your complaints can similarly be made in suburbia. You may have a neighbor that's drunk, and plays music loud into the night. Someone may have bright flood lights that shine over their yard into yours. Someone may grow a certain plant that's invasive, and it travels by wind to your yard. The wood the neighbor 3 hours down installed attracts pests, which could make their way to your house, eventually. Someone could start a fire, and the wind carries it to the neighbors next door or next street over, like what we saw in California earlier this year.

While yes apartments mean we all live closer together, that doesn't mean people will be twats. People can be twats anywhere.

The solution to this obviously is to live more and more rurally so your impact is less and less to your neighbors. But that sounds antithetical to your beliefs. And no, regulating people's lives with HOAs isn't the solution. HOAs suck.

There is single family, high density housing. Explore your closest big city. The closest one to me is Chicago, where a lot of the northern neighborhoods have super dense, single family homes.

High density, which in my opinion starts with mixed use apartment buildings have business underneath them on the ground floor, are way better than suburbs.

Mixed use allows for businesses to integrate with the community in literally the same footprint, which adds walkability and drives commerce. Plus, the more mixed use you have, the easier it is to have laborers live closer to their place of work, reducing commute time and costs while promoting more balanced lifestyles.

Obviously mixed use is one solution of many, but there are so many benefits to higher density living compared to suburbia.

Don't think we're in disagreement, btw

A solution to this would be if mechanics would come to every owner's house, inspect the cars, and do repairs, but that's not unique to autonomous cars. Plus, that's super expensive. Not the best solution by far.

Alternatively, since the cars are autonomous, they could report to repair facilities on their own, and return to owners once repairs are complete. This might be a decent solution if the owner can program which repair facility the car should go to, likely based on what's cheapest or well known.

These are the only solutions I can think of that don't include a third party owning the cars themselves, with monitor where the cars are and can direct them to their own repair facility (or one of their choosing). Doesn't really seem so far off from the owner's having this control now that I think of it.

Hell yeah!

As others have said, it seems that comments and votes on Lemmy are public by default, and the issue of anonymization should be directed towards redesigning how Lemmy and even ActivityPub shares information.

That being said, we on db0 have less control over those softwares because they underpin our instance here on Lemmy. For what we do have control over, I'd expect this instance to preserve the privacy of its users as much as possible.

I also agree with others that opting out of Lemvotes means one more deterrent for bad actors to abuse the system. We don't want to make it easier for people to spy on and stalk others, even if this opting out doesn't fix the root cause.

I vote Aye for now, only so far as we continue this conversation to address privacy overall in the Fediverse.

How would you fix ActivityPub for db0 then? Seems like we need to start talking about that more than whether people can spin up their own instances
