South Korea’s National Security Act outlaws the praise and promotion of “anti-government” organisations.
Yikes. I’m not a fan of North Korea and I can get it if there’s some desire to prevent a fascist movement growing in SK, but this seems waaaay too broad.

Ani.social user chiming in, lovely little instance. No drama and the local page is just cute art and episode discussions (admittedly most of the episode discussions are empty though).
Android auto runs on your phone. Android automotive runs in your car.
Yes, but Android Auto does need some work on the car OS side to operate, i.e. within Android Automotive in this example (although Blackberry QNX is probably more common these days, automakers are moving away from it)
I mean, I don’t like my car updating but I’d rather things get fixed than not. Software recalls are a huge headache in the auto industry, and being able to just download an update that fixes something is way easier than going to a dealership and having them use very specific tools and software to update the car/modules.
It’s also used for anti-theft features for a lot of newer cars, if your car is stolen it can be remotely disabled entirely. That’s really what’s more scary in my opinion.
Not entirely unrelated, Android Auto is basically a projection app for Android Automotive.
Yeah, pretty much all new cars have some amount of cellular connectivity. Usually you can’t actually use it without paying some subscription, but the manufacturers use it to push updates.
Interesting, I know personally one of my concerns with self-hosting an individual Lemmy instance (after losing my first account to the Vlemmy.net shutdown) was the threat of being held legally responsible for things cached on the server. Say someone uploads something illegal and my server caches it. Seeing it as an option to turn that off is nice, and for an instance only meant to be used by one person I’d imagine caching won’t have a huge impact on load times
I feel like it’s 100% a “they don’t care,” the vast majority of social media users couldn’t give less of a shit who runs the service, just what the service does for them.
The average person didn’t quit Facebook because it was a gross invasion of privacy and FB was caught doing plenty of suspect shit - Facebook declined because it wasn’t “cool” anymore and that’s it. People on Lemmy are more likely to care about who’s behind the service, but the average user certainly isn’t going to care much or at all.
Last time this came up, just spoofing the Firefox user agent to Chrome made it work perfectly. Maybe they block it because they haven’t tested it on Firefox yet, but it works as well as it does in Chrome.
And if they haven’t had the time to validate it in Firefox yet, that is a conscious choice by MS to not dedicate time specifically to validating in Firefox and treating it as a second-class web browser.
