Ugh. I do like the idea of defederating in theory, but this is the third time I'm going to have move instances because something I want access to is blocked.

Is this just a 'me' problem or something everyone has to deal with from time to time?

I know. I'd assume everyone on Lemmy knows. That's why I said 'free' in scare quotes and not free.

Anecdotal, but a friend of mine was ticketed for it within the first week it went into effect. She (understandably) assumed that being stopped at a stop light was acceptable. That said, I'm not aware of any enforcement since then and wouldn't be surprised if they deliberately only enforced it right after it took effect.

Still wouldn't risk it, though.

In Virginia, at least, it's not a meaningful distinction.

There used to be an exception for GPS, but the state changed the law a few years ago so that any non-hands-free use of a phone in a non-parked is a ticketable offense. Swiping away an ad at a red light would technically be illegal.

I've been getting a lot of 'suggested' locations and sponsored pop ups in Google Maps the few weeks. I get that it's a 'free' product, but ugh. My GPS while I'm driving down the highway is one of those things that really, really needs to be clutter-free.

So, so I get a prorated refund on my Google One subscription, or...?

Where's my cut?
