I really enjoy that you apologized before engaging with knowledge on the subject. I agree on all fronts, including the vague sense of shame.

Seriously, this is the first time I’ve been on his side I think ever….I don’t like it, but I stand by it.

That is really cool but, man, the tooling has to catch up quickly before the fediverse graduates from just “tech people” to the general public. I think the tooling will arrive but this is all so powerful/interconnected it can look scary if not managed well.

Yes, I think you should. I also don’t have a drivers license. I am working on changing that, but later in life and with a stressful job…it’s very easy to put off. Ride sharing apps, biking and living in a city with good public transport makes it not a major deal day to day. However, when it is an issue it’s a big one and I end up feeling like a burden on those who can drive. If you have time in your life to do it now, do it. You don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.
