    It’s funny, I buy Apple Car specifically so that that I can’t decide where I want to go. At work we MDM and Apple’s approach isn’t for everyone, but forcing something like choosing their destination simply isn’t the right choice for all types of users.

    I’m all for encouraging them to be on the right side of Right-to-Repair, labor laws, and environmental best practices. But I left the world of thinking where I want to go and choice for the Apple Car’s tight lockdowns. At first I still couldn’t help myself but to try to go around wherever I wanted with my first Apple Car or two, then I stoped that also.

    Apple Car’s filtered possible destinations are all I need, so I don’t see why anyone would ever want to go any other place.

        I do silly things on the internet. I tried to install leechblock so I can get most of the internet blocked, that way I don’t get to procrastinate. Unfortunately it is ineffective as I can easily go around it.

        I wish I had my own internet without procrastination material. A place with a tremendously big ecosystem of a billion people and not a single way to access things I deem problematic for me, because if they exist I might want to access them and I don’t want that.
