  • This is basically Formula-1 race car/small aircraft speed.

    Regular cars will only get you to, like, 160-180 km/h at full gas.

    In other words, this is insanely fast and potentially very deadly.

    At speeds above ~150 km/h, even on a well-organized highway, you won’t be able to control your surroundings and have to rely on sheer luck to survive, unless you’re a professional race pilot on an empty road. Also, unless the car is equipped with special gear for improved road grip, it will become uncontrollable because it will literally start to hover a little.




  • Honestly, my current stance on immutable distros is: why don’t you have a mutable distro and just try to follow the best practices without being forced to?

    Install flatpaks, use Distrobox when something is only available as a standard package, but doesn’t actually depend on non-isolated system interaction, etc.

    This way, nothing breaks the way it does with immutable distros, but you still have a reasonable level of confidence in your system.














  • There’s one more angle to this - apart from the raise in vigilante violence and messing up with police operations which both are very valid.

    Just as we stopped getting TV feeds constantly equating pedophiles to child molesters, those guys stepped in to fill the void.

    Pedophiles are not inherently child molesters. This kind of equation is not only wrong, it also adds to promoting dangerous behaviors among them.

    Plenty of pedophiles will never abuse a single child, knowing full well it is dangerous and harmful for minors to be engaged in such relationships. However, the more we equate pedophiles to predators, the more people, especially in the emotionally vulnerable groups like teen pedophiles, will actually accept themselves in this role. Among those who stands against this anyway, plenty will become suicidal, not seeing an option to live a non-offending life.

    Current methods of therapy aimed at reducing child abuse rates go very strongly on this - pedophiles should face message of them not being inherently dangerous, not the message of them being an immediate and imminent danger. Not only this is scientifically correct, it is actually useful in making these people safer for others.
