If you can move somewhere with public transit, it has changed my life
Public transit might be great, but it is certainly not ad-free.
Mobile phones and earbuds solve that problem for the most part.
Yeah, but I don’t own the bus
At least you didn’t spend $40k for the privilege
Read a book and it might as well be.
Does it have to be? Are you not exposed to billboards while driving? Radio ads?
Public transit has other benefits. You can read a book, play on your phone, and don’t have to worry about parking.

Not really in the UK. Minimal bill boards and ad free radio if you stick to the multitude of BBC channels.

!micromobility@lemmy.world is an option.
But yeah, with all the telemetry they’ve tacked onto vehicles, feels like you need a digital and electrical forensics team to disable it all
Tempering with it will breach your warranty.
Jeep owners are the perfect target for this. Not exactly the kind of people doing a lot of research before purchasing a vehicle. Or else they wouldn’t buy a jeep.
Guilty as charged, I owned a total of 5 jeep/Chrysler/Dodge vehicles way back when. Moved to Infiniti, then Tesla (fucking got rid of it within a year) and now I have a Chinese BYD with every telematic disabled.
