Fedora is the best thing ever to be in the world 🌎

Smart cars had to pass US crash test standards and have the appropriate safety equipment. The kei trucks that you can currently import and use are 25+ years old and wouldn’t have even passed US standards back then. Your legs are the crumple zone in these things.

I assume that new ones would have a chance, but it’d be expensive for a manufacturer to modify and certify for the US market. Small cars haven’t sold well here, and the profit margins are slim.

Maybe with the recent size and price increases in autos here, well see some movement. I’d love a modern Honda kei to go with my element.

Probably, but for other reasons. Neither of those are owned by the US, are they?

If one of them gets into power, Canada might just pay for that wall.

I’m using it presently, and aside from a few quirks in electron app rendering (slack input box flickers sometimes; things like that), it’s been solid:

• Ryzen 9 3900X (24)
• GeForce RTX 4070 Ti
• Fedora 38
• Nvidia proprietary driver
• Hyprland (used Gnome before and it was fine)

I use it daily for work and some gaming (CP2077, BG3 of late) and it works well.

Before I’d updated the video card, I had a AMD 5700 xt and it mostly worked, but I was getting sporadic driver crashes (card would reset), which was annoying.

This assumes that the mass shootings are a problem that they’d want to solve, but it’s not since mass shootings are useful to them. They’re flashy, get lots of media coverage, and feed a sense of chaos and societal breakdown. With that, they make the case the current system can’t keep you safe, and we need an authoritarian to bring order, which they’re happy to provide.

I get the reflexive urge to both-sides things, but rail workers did end up getting their sick leave:

Biden wanted to avoid the disruption that a rail strike would bring, especially when we were trying to deal with inflation, but like many things, they quietly got it done.
