"This is the taboo question that no none is allowed to ask, because everyone already knows the answer, and the answer is not the evil racist white man."

In fact that often IS the answer. Nations were destroyed with colonialism, and racism was literally invented to excuse it. Many have also been deliberately suppressed since through various foul means including sanctions, backing coups, and outright assassination. That answer is the real taboo, especially if you ask the governments responsible.

It's called RAIL.

No, I am not seeing that at all. I see plenty of cops. I see some every day that I go out.

Lolol modded down by someone who knows nothing as usual.

"AI" is not thinking. It chews up data and shits out data. If the shit is valid it's only a coincidence.

Nobody knows how to do that, at least not for a model of useful size. It would have to be reasoning in order to explain, but they aren't doing that.

They are 280 character for "regular" users, but the paid subscribers can go to 4000 characters. So yes, the majority of time it would be summarizing a 280 tweet, which just seems incredibly useless, much like all of X now.

The systems do in fact allow you to choose less than 3 seconds' following distance. People are literally complaining that the system won't let them drive unsafely.

The faster you go, the more space you need between cars to maintain safe following distance. If I have a safe following distance between me and the car ahead, if someone merges into that space then I no longer have safe following distance, so now we need even more space. At commute times there is not enough road available for all the cars to have safe following distance at speed. This is what happens on any overutilized road. If you wait for that much distance to appear then traffic backs up at the point of entry.

It makes it feasible to punish the biggest offenders, who are engaging in the bulk of the crime. Whether it actually happens is another question, but at least it does sometime.

That's because currently self-driving cars are not self driving. They are not good enough for people to just sit back and ignore the road, so the person in the driver's seat has to be aware and paying attention. Maybe in 10 years, we might have true self-driving cars, but we are no where near that yet.

They also destroy it, but they should be printing more of it (and not destroying the same amount) when GDP expands.

Tracking is only the way the data is gathered.

Make it illegal to sell the data and then you make it possible for the authorities to do something about it, which reduces much of the drive behind etc etc.

I used the root on ZFS instructions for Debian and they worked pretty well for Devuan. You have to change some commands and package names a little bit for sysvinit instead of systemd, but everything you need is in the repos.

I did my install with Devuan 4, but I upgraded and am now running Devuan 5 with kernel 6.6.13, and pipewire/wireplumber. The only vestige of PoetteringOS on my system is pulseaudio, which is not running. It's there for the client libraries, and for the package dependency for volume controls for X desktops.

It's not a big deal to just have more libraries installed in most cases. It would be nice if it were a little easier, though. You can have as many versions of whatever library around as you want, that's not a problem, but then there's those libraries' associated resource files in /usr/share or whatever.

This is dependent on state law. In California, it does unless the crosswalk is at a controlled intersection, where only the lights and signs can grant the right of way. We now have no jaywalking laws, and when you are not in a defined crosswalk, you do not have the right of way as a pedestrian. When you are then you do.

Pedestrians in crosswalks have the right of way in California.

We also recently got a law saying that you can't park within I forget how many feet (20?) of a crosswalk or corner unless there are curb extensions. So now they are putting curb extensions in towns all over so they don't lose parking. I actually heard some people complain about how this was going to cause damage to vehicles driving over the curb extensions, it was fairly hilarious. Like uh, open your eyes and look you schmucks.
