Counter argument: META is a horrible company and should be avoided always.
There are no subs here: It’s all communities and magazines!

I don’t want to live in a world without AI shoelaces (/s in case it’s needed)

Go read at your local library, you don’t even need to check the books out if you read them there.

Still counts as bikepacking if you ask me, but what do I know?
Officials who ignore the will of the public to protect their own power - lying, manipulating, and gerrymandering their way into office, then abusing the system to stay there: They aren’t the will of the people in many cases, they’re the will of whatever corporations and/or foreign countries have bought them off.
I love my poncho liner lol, it’s perfect for a hammock blanket. I think it was maybe $5.
Safety razor: When you need to shave with a razor, these things work better than disposables and are cheap as hell to replace the blades for. Still on my original pack of blades from 10 years ago (got a gross of blades for maybe $20) and am not even halfway through - I might not ever have to buy blades again.
Pretty much any device could also be removed, disabled, or prevented from transmitting/receiving.

Thanks for the extensive write up!
That’s not really in the hands of the people though.
Buy a used car, or don’t buy a car at all and ride a bike, walk, or use public transit. Might have to move to a place that has busing, subways, bike lanes, etc. but it isn’t impossible.
If they declined to hear it, the decision would be in the hands of whatever court the appeal came from.
Maybe a self balancing 3 wheel electric scooter?
