Das ist nicht wahr. Habe zwei wunderbare Debian boxen als Gegenbeweis.

Yeah you do. But you can set a hotkey in your DE for that, just execute flameshot when you press print, that's what I do.

Sadly, I'm on Wayland and it doesn't really work well yet there, last time I checked at least. Flameshot is amazing.

EVs are a step in the right direction.

However, EVs only change one aspect of cars: How they go vroom vroom.

They are still heavy metal boxes operated by random people. Most drivers suck (myself included probably), they are lazy and don't follow the local law on driving.

They are absurdly dangerous, for people inside other cars, themselves, and pedestrian. Anytime someone goes too early with their car it's potentially an accident with death causes. Same if they spin their funny wheel a little too much.

Imagine yourself overtaking a car on the highway. Now let's say the driver slips by accident, wheel stairs to your sidey giant death machine crashes yours from the side, and its a horrible accident.

Besides that, car infrastructure is absurdly expensive, and becomes even more expensive Everytime it needs to be renewed. The city I was at school at is literally one of the poorest in my country after having endless money in the 70s, because they built too many roads. They built some roads not on the ground but in large pillars, and it's literally falling apart.

Lastly, cars take up tons of public space. Cities designed (or rather bulldozed for) cars sprawl, need huge parking lots, huge streets, produce noise pollution, regular pollution.

There is much more but that should suffice for now.

That being said, I doubt we can ever go truly car free. Remote regions do not have enough people for good public transit to be maintainable, and the distances are often too long for walking or biking. Deliveries need some kind of individual vehicle. Some of that can be addressed with EVs and car sharing.

Sadly, EVs are being presented as the all around solution.

I literally do that to go to work and university. I walk to my local train station 20 minutes and it's amazing that I can. It makes me wake up, even as someone who hates to get up early and gives me time to listen to music, podcasts or think about personal stuff.

That being said, it's not true that no one is stopping me. All those idiots that park in the sidewalk are stopping me. All those idiots that endanger me with their crappy super heavy metal boxes are stopping me. I literally have to stop when I want to cross the road.

And besides that, walking is only possible if you don't live in a car infested hellscape (luckily I do for the most part). Otherwise, the next destination is hours away by walking, rendering it pointless, and walking becomes very dangerous.

It's in the article: The expert said that the visited nations have special bilateral relations with the PRC. Germany doesn't like china.

I mean, wanting regulations for immigration is a valid political opinion, no? It's not something that is inherently extreme right. It's just hard to find a party catering to both because of the modern Kulturkampf.

I've read the Wikipedia article and I have no idea what this is. Is is something about drugs? Can someone explain for non biologists? I don't get it.

Well, probably nothing

Yeah sure. There is no perfect security, but your paranoia is not only impractical but conspiratory.

It might aswell be one

That's a good question!

The short answer is no. Cars suck for many reasons, but it's a fact in many parts of the world that you cannot be a functioning member of a society without one, especially if your government doesn't get that cars suck or you live somewhere remote.

How do I feel when I see someone driving a car? Mostly my feelings don't change, because it is so normalized. But I get somewhat angry when I see uselessly huge cars that are obviously just a waste of resources. I have fun ridiculing car centric road and city design, but it's the bad kind of fun.

I am also very careful around cars, both while I'm in and outside of them. Cars are very heavy and drivers are infamous for being bad at controlling them. This isn't their fault, it's super easy to make mistakes while driving, you just have to move your feet a little too fast or move your hand a little too far and boom, someone is dead.

Think about driving on a highway. If the guy next to you accidentally moves the wheel a little more than usual, that car will crash into you, creating a horrendous scene. It's just too prone to failure, and failure will probably mean person damages. For this reason, cars are legitimately scaring me, even if I have to deal with it.

Sorry if that does not make sense to you. I'm still trying to figure all this out for myself and I'm not always rational about these topics, because seeing the potential of our cities being wasted by car centric design makes me angry.

Both my Debian 12 servers run with unattended upgrades. I've never had anything break from the changes in packages, I think. I tend to use docker and on one even lxc containers (proxmox), but the lxc containers also have unattended upgrades running.

Do you just update your stuff manually or do you not update at all? I'm subscribed to the Debian security mailing list, and they frequently find something that means people should upgrade, recently something with the glibc.

Debian especially is focused on being very stable, so updating should never break anything that wasn't broken before. Sometimes docker containers don't like to restart so they refuse, but then I did something stupid.
