  • True, but I have no issue preventing commercial use. I view that as just as good if not better than traditional open source.

  • True, but a lot of Linux help and guides are based around normal distros where they won't work

  • Bazzite's excellent, just be aware going in that it's an immutible distro and some stuff may be different than you're used to.

  • Yes, but raw and pasteurized milk produce different flavors and textures. As long as it's aged properly, it's fine.

    Literally all I'm suggesting is nuance in policy instead of a blanket ban. Allow people to get a license or something

  • Home cheesemaking is way more common of a hobby than you're making it out to be.

    All pointing this out is saying is that the solution needs a little bit of nuance.

  • UPDATE: Kitty was rescued and is safe! This poor cat has been stuck for 5 days, and Xcel Energy is refusing to turn off electricity so the cat can be rescued

  • Or "your claim 8s unlikely and would have been the reason given by Xcel if true"

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee"

    Jump

  • Heroic games launcher basically makes gog stuff click and play but even that isn't enough for me to really use it over steam.

    What I need is a good launcher that makes the process of using different stores seamless, that works well on all my devices (heroic's controller support is infuriating to use and doesn't support steam)

    Maybe when playnite finally gets ported to Linux

  • My understanding is they're sending a request to your device that then decrypts and uploads messages, not storing the keys outside your device.

  • Nah, you're in pop and Debian, you'll be fine for a while.

  • Nah, the distro that openly says updates may cause breakages and to check if you need manual intervention before updating following their long established normal procedure is fine.

  • It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"

    Jump

  • Nah, Google funds them so they can point at them and say they aren't a monopoly, directing what they do would ruin that.

    Mozilla's perfectly capable of making dumb decisions on their own, they do that plenty

  • Photo enforcement cameras

    Jump

  • From the article: "We found no evidence that red light cameras improve public safety. They don’t reduce the total number of vehicle accidents, the total number of individuals injured in accidents or the total number of incapacitating injuries that involve ambulance transport to a hospital."

    If you have any research that contradicts it I'm open to reading it but the evidence indicates there are just as many serious accidents.

  • Photo enforcement cameras

    Jump

  • "Evidence clearly shows that camera programs are effective at decreasing the number of vehicles running red lights. In one study in Virginia, red light cameras reduced the number of total drivers running red lights by 67 percent." Seems pretty effective to me.

    At reducing that one behavior? Sure, but we also have to look at what other impacts it has.

    We could reduce the number of people running red lights by 100% if we removed traffic lights, doesn't mean it's a good solution.

    "When the Houston cameras were removed, angle accidents increased by 26 percent. However, all other types of accidents decreased by 18 percent. " So, a net increase in accidents. I can't make their numbers match up with their conclusion.

    The next sentence is "Approximately one-third of all Houston intersection accidents are angle accidents. This suggests that the program’s drawbacks canceled out its benefits."

    Say there are 100 accidents, 33 of which are from people running red lights.

    A 26% decrease in red light running accidents results in 9 fewer accidents from running red lights. (.26*33=8.58)

    An 18% increase in other accidents results in 12 more accidents from people slamming on their brakes. (.18*66=11.88)

    So a net increase of 3 accidents.

  • Yeah, the old ones are fine, but they're just turning into mass surveillance tools now

  • American roads are massive and built so you can safely drive way higher than the limit, which means most people do. It sucks and the solution is to design roads better.

    Currently we just have a system where going the speed limit causes backups and people make dangerous maneuvers to get around you.

    Hell, I even got pulled over for 'impeding the flow of traffic' once when I was going slightly over the speed limit. Pig just gave me a warning, and I certainly would've succeeded in contesting it if he hadn't, but our whole road infrastructure sucks
