Yes, and also the open driver is worth a shit unlike the closed driver for Windows, which provably is not. So not only do you not have the Nvidia driver shittiness, you don't have the AMD Windows driver shittiness either. If you're not deeply into LLMs then AMD is the obvious choice for a GPU for Linux.

Communism was supposed to be about equality and the people controlling everything in a bottom up manner. But the moment you implement it on a national scale you end up with a small inner circle

Nobody has ever tried to implement "Communism without a small inner circle" at the national level, and WITH it, it isn't Communism. Maybe there is no such thing as Communism, like there is no such thing as a completely free market, but nobody ever made a good faith effort to have everyone be equal at that level. There's always the plan to ride atop the masses.

Just redo your constitutional setup.

"Just"

It's super hard to redo our constitution. There's only two ways, one is with fire and the other requires consensus.

It's not that the vast majority of people in the US ain't noticing that fundamentals of the US system have to change.

Why are US lawmakers so bad at their jobs that these kinds of work-arounds are a thing? Don't they get experts to write the laws, and then fire them if they screw up this badly?

I've noticed that a lot of US tech companies don't understand how this isn't normal, and when they discover that the same work-arounds don't work in Europe, they get very upset.

To be fair, they don't. They want to slightly reduce the sun's output, so that it offsets the greenhouse effect we have caused. So no famine, just less catastrophic climate change (which causes famine) than we would otherwise experience.

The two biggest dangers are that we screw it up and dim too much, with no way to undo it, and that we use it as an excuse to keep polluting.

Should this requirement apply to autonomous vehicles equipped with sensors that would prevent it from hitting a pedestrian when reversing?

Until they are infallible, yes.

the city should have banned charging stations in these locations via zoning before one was built there

Life is chock-full of "should haves", alas. Instead of each new project being better than the ones before, many people and organizations seem to think they know everything when they should have learned from others. I'm quite sure someone else had figured this out already.
