This. There used to be a fun geography game on the Commodore 64 where you had to fly a helicopter over countries/capitals. It was fun because when you had no idea where a country was, you just kept flying in circles. They got the gamep

Just because your government can break your opsec doesn’t imply it’s not worth doing your best. Maybe you’ll avoid being caught in a lower-cost/mass surveillance system and you might not do anything to attract a more dedicated attack.

What's your gripe with calling a bus which successfully ran for 5 years without a driver not autonomous? As someone who used this specific bus occasionally, I was quite satisfied with the outcome: it safely drove me from A to B.
