They literally already mooted that in the UK.
Thankfully.
For now..
We'll see how Palantir turns out.
"Mooted" means nearly the opposite in British English of what it does in American English. @DakRalter@thelemmy.club is saying they already started discussing it, which is a bad thing.
Yes, just to clarify, that's what I meant! It's on the table.
"Tabling" means the opposite in American English too, BTW. To "table a motion" in the US means to take it off the table, LOL!
I know, I did that on purpose ;)
Those two standards don't make sense, I'll create a third one to fix all shortcomings!

Careful, if you continue that thought to its conclusion you're gonna end up with Esparanto or something.
There's worse. There's better as well though.
Cool, the fed can pay for it. Expect me to only turn it on when asked.
Turning it on only when you're using it doesn't stop it harvesting all your Bluetooth interaction data (like covid contact tracing). That's what Android Auto does with Ford cars - the car isn't just tracking you when you drive it and reporting back to Ford, it's tracking where you go with your phone based on all the Bluetooth devices you ping.
The best solution is to just not have it. Or, if you have to have it, have it on a spare device.
