More states really need to get on board with this

I’m happy to see the first state do this, hopefully we can get the ball rolling on more.

looks at PC “Are you ready champ?” - Me

I’ve never been more ready. - My PC

Ah so it’s an overflow bug

Exactly!

Is your keyboard app secure (yes seriously)? Does you device store notification details? Can your notifications be viewed without unlocking the device?

Those are all little concerns that need to be considered.

The fires from EVs (ones that use lithium batteries that is) are incredibly hard to extinguish.

Sodium ion batteries don’t ignite which makes them even safer.

Link to a video of a puncture test of Sodium cells.

And another one that’s also cool.

“But Teslas are electric and Teslas are bad!” -the person we’re replying to.

It’s like the commenter doesn’t realize there’s more electric cars than just Teslas.

So the article’s source has been updated. Tesla was number 1 in the last year’s report (2024’s numbers) but it’s number 3 now (2025’s numbers).

Source used by the article you shared

TLDR: It’s a close battle between BMW (44.9 per 1000), Ram (44.7 per 1000), and Telsa (42.8 per 1000)

EDIT: “That includes accidents, DUIs, speeding and citations” If you instead just isolate accident rates it’s slightly different: Ram (23.9 per 1000), Subaru (23.2), and Tesla (23.1).

I should clarify that I’m not a fan of Tesla AT ALL. I’d love to see Tesla fail (in particular Elon failing especially). There’s more electric car’s than just Tesla’s.

Mmmm, tastes like FOSS

Of my friend group we’ve got 2 people on Kubuntu, 2 running Pop_OS, 1 with a Steam Deck running Steam OS, and 2 running Bazzite. We’ve all dipped our toes in Linux over the years in various ways and at various times/

Funnily enough I’m the only one who started on Mint, everyone else started on Ubuntu (well, except Steam Deck guy).

Personally I’ve only dipped my toes into CachyOS in the last few weeks. The main reason was due to it being talked about a lot and a more popular distro will be easier to get help with.

I’d love to see it take off like Blender has recently, it’s definitely on the right path as of late

FreeCAD since it’s gone to 1.0 has been my replacement and it’s been quite nice to work with

It’s got a bit of a learning curve because of some different workflow things but all in all I’ve been enjoying it

Finally cutting the cord on Windows due to finally breaking free from the last bits of software keeping you there feels so good.

When those gaps in when you boot into that Windows partition get further and further apart until the day it finally happens. The day that you no longer remember the last time you booted into that Windows machine. The day you can finally let yourself be free.

For me the last pieces were Lightroom and Fusion360.

I’ve only recently dipped into it

I’ve been using Kubuntu though for awhile on all but 2 of my systems, my NAS and my main rig. I’m testing CachyOS though and I’m seeing no issues so far.

Of course once I’ve got KDE up it all looks like it should lol

In fact it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I don’t have time to make my coffee anymore 😭😭😭

Installing Mint really is really something special for how easy it is

It’s the easiest OS I’ve every installed

Though the amount I’ve installed is fairly low lol

My friend you’re in the Linux Memes community, the home of Linux circlejerking lol

I recommend installing Ventoy on a USB stick, then putting some ISOs on there of various distros to try. Like CachyOS, Bazzite, or perhaps Kubuntu.

You can boot into them straight from the Ventoy USB stick without having to format the USB between new tests.

And if you end up liking one over the others you can install straight from the stick.

You can do it, I believe in you random internet stranger!

IDK that seems pretty invasive

Perhaps just GRUB and waiting for my input one extra time to confirm I actually want to use my PC at that time

Alright that sounds cool!
