Alright, I hear you, but I think the point is that a cyclist running a red light mostly endangers themselves, while a car running a red light endangers others. Here in Colorado, we changed the laws such that a red light is a stop sign for bicycles, and a stop sign a yield, in recognition of the differences in risk. (Edit: cars -> bicycles)

It's great business, offering electricity at above market rates. Like many things Green New Deal, it has Capitalists salivating at the business opportunities.
Perils: blacklists and spam filters.
I am totally with you on the musical side of things: AI generated content is about on par with your average pop song from the music industry machine.
The big question is whether the general public prefers better music, or if they are actually perfectly happy with slop. I think that's the real battle of the decade: yes, AI generated stuff is terrible, but what if terrible is all that people want?
Honestly, back in 2022 it was the one thing that absolutely enraged me: Yellen and Biden both were pretending that the very high inflation was just a temporary effect and was going to vanish quickly.
It would have been the time to call attention to the reckless spending of the Trump administration, and the direct link to high inflation a year and two years later.
Instead, they denied the problem existed, and thus inherited it.
Installing a random .deb comes with enormous security implications. I am not sure that making the process more beginner friendly is a really good idea.
"Beginner friendly" should be limited to things from the main repositories, and for that there is the Software Center.
I'm facing just one major issue. I'm blind myself, coding the app as my personal tool.
I am sorry, but this is just absolutely incredible. Do you have a channel somewhere where you talk about how you do it? I'd love to know more.
I bet you are more of a woman than that person will ever be.
Honestly, visibility is probably the smaller problem. The sheer mass of these monsters is a risk factor in itself. Once you see what a big truck or SUV can do to a smaller car, you realize humans are not likely to survive a collision with one of them. Pedestrian, cyclist, or motorcyclist.
The irony is that a lot of people like these vehicles because their truck makes them feel safe. That safety is bought by making everyone else unsafe. Sort of like the way drivers of these vehicles drone on about how much better they see everything around them, by making everyone else blind behind them.
Being in Europe right now and following the local market, Europeans seem to prefer Chinese models over Tesla for a variety of reasons, Elon Musk being only one of them. Others I've heard include:
Teslas look stale and boring. They are too expensive to be everyman cars, but a 10 year old Tesla looks essentially the same as a new one. Luxury car buyers want to show off.
Tesla keeps downgrading features after the car was bought. What used to be included requires a subscription later on. Worse, Tesla decides when your car works and when it doesn't.
That's the more important ones I've heard. So far, all I've seen on the streets are European competitors and Koreans. There is a BYD dealership in town, and it's very busy, but the vehicles they have on display are American-sized and too big for traffic here.
Yes, that is correct. Thanks for pointing out, I'll edit to avoid confusion.
