Ah yes let’s try to stifle Chinese innovation by … checks notes … expanding our surveillance state. Usually we are the ones calling China a surveillance state, but it’s fine(it’s not) once we do it.

Because the media uncritically parrots the companies PR talking points and then it’s suddenly the accepted terminology.

It works that way for electric cars. You won’t find many BYD electric cars in the US, yet they are the top-selling battery electric vehicle manufacturer worldwide. Only thing stopping them from doing the same with this, is that it’s a tensy bit tougher to gatekeep information than a car.
I’d guess it’s because of the shape of the car structure. In a pickup bed the blast goes up. But if it was in a car or suv all the energy would go horizontally out the windows since there’s a roof stopping it from going up.

On Apple Silicon Macs, you can set up Asahi(Fedora) Linux to dual boot. Or you can you use something like Parallels as a paid alternative to bootcamp.
What is a pubnix?
Edit: Short for Public access UNIX apparently.
No, your not really wrong, it’s just the tone that comes off as blaming others for their failures.
There’s a place for that but it is IMO not really on a public forum. Praise in public and criticize in private is good life advice. Maybe your tone is unintentional due to the nature of internet text communication.
To me, it seems like you could stop and realize that making sound financial decisions isn’t as big of a factor to most people as it is to you. There is more to life than worrying about money.
Corporate media does hyperfocus on that but I don’t think it helps make our (North American) society happy. It distracts us with escapism and temporary happy emotions.
I like it too. I wish I could compare it to current reddit, but I can only access it through old interface. And the current reddit is is too addicting to me to justify working around it.
I kinda hate that I like the sh version cause it will tempt me to sink time there.
Crimes of opportunity are not need based, they are want based. People take something because they want it and are unconcerned with the potential consequences of taking it. Even the cop quoted in your linked article admitted that 'Cars stolen for the purpose of committing another crime are not what’s behind the majority of thefts. ’
I would say my OC at least applies to the people who get caught. Maybe not always to those who actually do the crime.
I call it virtue signaling. It’s the same idea, just a clearer term for it.
Do those mythical organized thieves really exist? I think 80+% of crimes are crimes of opportunity done by vulnerable people like crackheads, mentally ill, or other low income people.
Politicians passing laws based on things they don’t understand?
aka virtue signaling
Well put.

Sure you could easily argue that NH rules that they be first is stupid. And I agree with that, but it is also a bad look to take away that state’s say in the process for that reason. If your state political party said your votes don’t count and we are ignoring them, wouldn’t you get kind of perturbed? The people of NH have little to no say in what their legislature does. It’s not really fair to them that their primary votes don’t count because the DNC said so.
In what way is it unreasonable for a state to set rules for a private organization? Especially one with a huge say in determining who gets into public office.
If he was left-wing, this would be prosecuted (and propagandized by the media) as terrorism.
