# Char 2 — David Larlet
Je voulais le moins d’électronique possible et plutôt prendre un vieux véhicule robuste qui me permette de sortir d’un banc de neige et peut-être à terme de la ville.

Suite des mes aventures avec une comptabilité à jour depuis bientôt 3 ans. Divulgâcheur : ça coûte très cher.

Le résultat n’est pas joli-joli avec environ vingt mille kilomètres au compteur sur la période. Je n’ai pas non plus réussi à descendre en-dessous des 12L/100km avec ce véhicule qui n’a pas été pensé pour être économe et qui alimente les 4 roues en permanence… MAIS je crois que si c’était à refaire, je choisirais un véhicule stupide à nouveau.

> Car companies are on the forefront of postcapitalism, and they understand that digital is the key to rent-extraction. Remember when BMW announced that it was going to rent you the seatwarmer in your own fucking car?

But once the car-makers add semiconductors, each one of those features comes out in a painful, burning dribble, with every button on that farkakta touchscreen wired directly into your credit-card.

Je pourrais citer tellement de passages de cet article de Cory Doctorow qui confirment ce choix que ça en est édifiant. Et si vous pensez que certaines marques ne font quand même pas n’importe quoi avec vos données, Mozilla se charge — chiffres à l’appui — de démentir cette idée :

> The gist is: they can collect super intimate information about you -- from your medical information, your genetic information, to your “sex life” (seriously), to how fast you drive, where you drive, and what songs you play in your car -- in huge quantities. They then use it to invent more data about you through “inferences” about things like your intelligence, abilities, and interests.

> It’s bad enough for the behemoth corporations that own the car brands to have all that personal information in their possession, to use for their own research, marketing, or the ultra-vague “business purposes.” But then, most (84%) of the car brands we researched say they can share your personal data -- with service providers, data brokers, and other businesses we know little or nothing about. Worse, nineteen (76%) say they can sell your personal data.

> A surprising number (56%) also say they can share your information with the government or law enforcement in response to a “request.” Not a high bar court order, but something as easy as an “informal request.” Yikes -- that’s a very low bar!

Progressivement, j’en apprends un peu plus sur la mécanique d’une vieille voiture thermique et je crois que c’est ma seule option. Elle n’est peut-être pas payante mais elle me garantit une certaine confidensanité.

> 😶 You can’t talk about all the friends and family you’ve lost. You can’t talk about how tired you are. You can’t talk about politics. You can’t talk about climate change. You can’t talk about the wildfires or that town that burned down. You can’t talk about living through the hottest days in human history. You can’t talk about masks or air purifiers. You can’t talk about student loans. You can’t talk about the wars we’re fighting or getting ready to fight.

> You can’t talk about anything that matters.

> You can only talk about the latest shitty superhero movie. You can talk about Barbie. You can talk about celebrity gossip. You can talk about the vacation you pretended to enjoy. You can talk about yoga.

> You can talk about your morning routine.

> You can talk about sports.
