@havvyhh2 Understand the that driving force is government control over mobility. In a world of robocars, the government not only tracks all movement, but can prevent you from going where they don't want you to go, and take you where you don't want to go. That's really what's driving this. No pun intended. Law enforcement is drooling over this tech. Pure fascism, courtesy of the Big Tech Billionaire CEOs.

@lauren @havvyhh2 that is so different from #Uber, because there is a low wage worker in the car who will definitely drive you where you want to go without any violation of your privacy, right? No way the #lyft app would refuse a request to ride to a protest, or sell their records to #Palantir? The guardians of democracy, the public transport fast pass because, no data. Right?

We do need to do something about the #Ring and #Flock and #location protections. Laws. We need laws!

I don’t dislike #Siri as much as other people. But sometimes it can be funny.

#Chicago got around a foot or more of snow over the weekend. When it’s this high, Watson has trouble pooping in the backyard unless we shovel out a spot for him.

Sometimes when he goes, Jess and I text each other that “we have lift off!” 😆

Taking him out just now, I did speech-to-text with my Watch and… well. 😆 #Lyft #Apple

Two iMessages I sent to Jessi using Siri. The first says “we have lift off,” but Siri inserted “Lyft,” the rideshare company. Then I also sent “LOL Siri.”

While I sipped my morning coffee this, uh, morning, I thought that there should be a free, user-owned, open source alternative to Uber and its ilk. (Because fuck them.)

Naturally I promptly discovered that I'm far from being the first person to think this.

There's a nascent little app called Compañero that does just that. It's actually a Telegram bot, so doesn't require a download (if you've got Telegram).

Two mobile phones displaying the Companero app with a chat message saying: "You can specify your own price in local currency... but if you can't afford to pay click the Free Ride button.")
