For those not understanding this fact, this comment is meant to be satire. Obviously, nuclear isn't always so safe. 2 atomic bombs and a nuclear power plant.

The Japanese would like everyone to thank them for taking the role of being the pinnacle test ground for nuclear technology on civilians.

There's also the "I don't trust an autonomous car" factor as well.

That was a great theory until we found out that air pollution can help keep the planet cool. Remember the article from June 2023 about how sulfur dioxide containing ship fuel exhaust was creating chemtrails that reflected sunlight back into space? Stuff like that. Quite stupidly, rather than rolling back the change until an alternative cooling method is ready to be implemented, we've plowed ahead instead so our planet can get warmer. Anybody working on production systems on this site knows you always have a rollback plan.

Used EVs are cheaper than used ICE cars, but that hasn't significantly improved the uptake. Recently I read that, right now, commercial fleets are the biggest growth market for EVs, not individuals.

Long distance travel isn't the same issue that it is here in the US. For perspective, Spain is the size of Texas. Europe, minus Russia, is just under 1/2 the size of the lower 48. Population density in the US is a lot smaller in most of the US. This makes for what are already significantly longer road trips between towns and cities. Add on a charge that only gets you 80% of a charge that takes several times as much time as filling a tank of gas and for many. EVs just aren't anywhere near as practical. You've heard this all over and over before. Go travel to Europe and you'll see a significant difference and understand what people are talking about and why it's not a good comparison. You asked a question, you got an answer.

Drugs?

Why don't start first by making GNU Hurd is fully functional, and not try to replace an OS that is already FOSS and has wide app adaptation, like Android? And yes, there are bolt-ons like the Google add-ons, but with the FOSS Google replacement plugins, you can get a largely functional FOSS phone. Maybe the FSF could focus on plugging those holes instead of starting from scratch.

Spotify works because you have a catalog consisting of everything.

Anybody else remember Napster and Limewire? This has been tried before and it failed mis... Wait. They were a resounding success and nearly drove the recording industry out of business.

And...

Which is BS. If you're a pedestrian, there's a reasonable chance you won't hear the car coming.

I wouldn't go that far, but you summarize an article without ad-on tech by just reading the first sentence of every paragraph. If you reach something interesting, just read the rest of the paragraph.

I'd like to stay as far away from the "art" that is produced by Rosie O'Donnell as possible. Wait, did I mean to say "fart"?

IMO, frequently social media is incredibly toxic. I quit Facebook years ago and haven't missed it. Yes, I do know that /. is social media, but it doesn't ping you every time you receive a new message and doesn't game you into replying to controversial threads.
