I don't blame USA. I blame European media that keep reporting shootings in USA. If Americans don't have any interest in addressing this issue why even talk about it here? We can't do anything about it and all it does is give stupid ideas to our nutters. It's not like we can send aid or influence policies in USA. I guess it could be relevant to someone who wants to travel there but that's what travel advisories are for. Let's just pretend they are not happening, like Americans do.

My guess he'd just copying stuff he saw on TV. We copied many other things from US culture like Halloween and bad food, now time for mass shootings.

That's fair, I'm just saying it's not "OS with memory safety" but "OS written in modern language". I guess it's interesting in itself but yeah, definitely not groundbreaking.

They don't because android licensing says that if you ship a phone with AOSP google will not sell you license for android to ship on other phones. Most people want google services so you either aim for the bigger market or smaller but not both. This should be changing in EU though.

Yeah, it's all really tragic. I remember reading somewhere that in one US city the town hall sold the control of all parking meters to a private company. Now the company raises prices constantly and the city can't do anything that would put their profits in danger like closing a road for public event.

She will use the 400 she made to pay grieffers.

Yes, pretty much. You can't verify mass produced, fast fashion clothes. If you want something realisticly certifiable you need to look for high quality, low volume products. Or get a personal tailor and shoemaker.

So you're working on your machine learning projects in Zig?

People keep saying this but Rust is not only about memory safety. It's not C with memory safety sprinkled on top. Compare with C and C++ it has better tooling and dependency management, it's easier to create modules and organize your code, it's easier to write tests and it has loads of nice, modern language features like algebraic types and typeclasses. Because of all this Rust is growing fast and a lot of people like it. Writing things in Rust is a bet that more people will get behind them and you will be able to add more features faster to them than to existing projects in C. The idea is not to simply do the same but in Rust. It is to have a cleaner, easier to approach codebase that will allow to grow faster in the future.

I just bought a house 30 meters above see level. If I calculated this right I will get to retire in a beach front property. That's the best solution to climate change you can get today.

It's included here: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/xscreensaver-data-extra

USA also has a lot more money, right?

xscreensaver with IFS. Can't stop looking at it. I'm writing this on another computer because I don't want to disable screen saver on my primary one.

I've been waiting for something with multilingual typing for years. I constantly switch between 3 languages and it's a PITA.

Really? You don't want a laptop with shitty keyboard, no ports and glossy fingerprint magnet for a screen? Weird.

You're right. I will start a new distro that focuses on the the things that matter.

Asking questions was obviously a joke.

As for the rest I don't know what would it take to make sure the driver is paying attention. Distracted driving is the most common cause of accidents so clearly even in normal cars we can't be sure drivers are paying attention. I think we can agree cruise control is generally good but I have no idea what happens once the car has line following. Is it the same? You focus on the road more? Or do you stop paying attention completely? I think it's a questions to scientists really. Someone has to test it rigorously before it's actually added to the cars. My feeling is that once you don't have to drive by yourself (as in turn and brake) you eventually stop paying attention, so yeah, either the car drives itself 100% or you drive.

So they are pretty much trying to figure out how to make sure the driver is paying attention to the road? IDK, maybe make the car respond to the steering wheel so that the driver has to move it or the car will not turn? That would ensure the driver is actually looking at the road.

Alternatively ask them questions about the surroundings. "Driver, what state is the car in front of you from? You have 3 second to answer or FSD will be disabled".

Do you know why Adobe got so scared of it then? I though it's because Figma was easier to access and was stealing their users. If Adobe has better licensing what's the benefit of using Figma?

But Figma would be boundeled with other Adobe tools and would be harder to access.
