Notably the risks aren’t simply that this will identify the undocumented its that it will provide a pretext to disappear almost anyone who isn’t white.

The question is does any given non-white person look enough like one of over 10M people to get falsely flagged given agents a pretext to remove almost anyone they stop. Facial recognition of one person against a large enough database will almost always provide at least on possible match this is especially true if it matches against possible aliens and not against possibly aliens and citizens. EG a query of both will likely turn up Betty Sue Smith is herself and maybe a possible match with Known Deportable but a search against only aliens may return only Known Deportable with agents dismissing any claim by Betty that her ID must be fake.

What do you think what you posted even means? covering most of what it is using to identify is already going to make it drastically more difficult to match

Actually prohibition drastically increases price, perceived risk, and social acceptability all of which decrease usage. If you mean that prohibition doesn’t make everyone stop using that would be a duh. Society would greatly benefit from decreased usage alone due to decreased medical productivity and deaths…

The most famous “failed” prohibition on this side of the water in the US initially decreased alcohol usage to 30% of its former usage immediately prior to prohibition. Eventually it rose to ~60% but didn’t recover to anything like prior levels until prohibition was ended.

There is another notable factor though. This allows all current addicts to continue consuming their legal fix which can be sold at the corner store but incentivizes all these multitudes of legal avenues to shut out new customers or be shut themselves. These new customers those born from 2008-2017 will initially be a small market for any black market sales probably poorly served unlike the market created by prohibition. If less of these folks initially get hooked early there is statistical reason to believe far fewer of them ever will. By the time those born in 2018-2027 reach maturity between 2036-2045 many of the older folks will be dead and the generation above them will have a much lower prevalence of smoking.

Exactly there are no legal places out and about to smoke so people smoke at home then rather than feeling energetic and pugnacious they are mellow and sleepy so they have neither the need nor desire to drive.

As we speak imbeciles are trying to ruin this by developing testing designed to harass minorities on the side of the road and test whether the have smoked within several days instead of several hours. Soon you may face driving while brown charges for having smoked yesterday because testing cannot accurately measure impairment or recency of usage.

Weed + cars doesn’t seem to be a big problem in a state where legal weed is everywhere unlike alcohol.

A great deal of alcohol is consumed out late at night in places one is likely to drive to and from. Almost all accidents happen to people who are plastered not least of which because drunk people get increasingly confident and simultaneously incapable of judging their ability.

Worse drunk people even quite drunk people can reasonably pilot a car which is why most DUIs are given only after hundreds miles of drunk drinking.

People’s false confidence is rewarded right up until they go to jail or kill someone.

Weed rarely produces the degree of impairment and when it does you aren’t going anywhere. Also since there are no legal venues to smoke it you are most commonly at home

Yes. Dude who created one of the most useful projects in software history in large part because of pragmatic decision making makes a pragmatic decision and Joe Rando says “Must be in the pockets of big AI!” because he can’t grasp any singular aspect of a complex issue. Can’t even hold in his head a tiny number of things just vomits crap over the internet. That person needs to spend a lot more time reading and thinking and less typing.

Unlike brilliant people like you who have created nothing one millionth the importance of Linux

They use a lot more disk do they actually use meaningfully more ram? Other than obviously inherently bloated web tech stuff?

Do you actually feel like Windows or Mac are more responsive with the same RAM?

I found a lot of flawed measurements which ended up measuring different things. This seems like a fairly respectable measurement even for being a few years old

https://itvision.altervista.org/linux-desktop-environments-system-usage.html

Simple environments like xfce or mate under X11 are around 600 MB. Gnome X 1300MB Gnome Wayland 1400. Seems pretty clear that gnome is a significant factor in the increase on the other hand most machines now come with 8-16

No no it doesn’t. It’s spec acknowledges that in addition to your OS you also run applications.

Why do we care if anyone has room to complain?

How hard is this to understand. Women frequently feel unsafe with strange men in uncontrolled situations like alone in a car because men who are commonly bigger and stronger commonly beat and rape women. Men who are on average bigger and stronger are very rarely assaulted or raped by strange women because women are both less physically imposing and are less prone to violence and most specifically sexual violence. Whereas its not impossible or unheard for a woman to be so this is so uncommon it is rarely something people are reasonably concerned about either factually or culturally.

Did I really need to tell you any of that or did you in fact already know that. The whiners here do NOT want men to be equal and have the ability to chose men drivers they want women not to have a path to discriminate against them because THEY believe they aren’t the problem. Hell the guys who ARE the problem are also sure they aren’t the problem.

You are assuming that the cachy devs want the help of folks who have not demonstrated competence in their own project or want to do stuff how manjaro does

I’m dubious

You need a citation for many women being unsafe with random men in a car but the reverse not being true. OK buddy.

No because the presumption is that you will provide ID to your employer and they will go by whatever is on the ID when assigning rides.

It’s not. You as an employee or contractor aren’t entitled to a particular client being assigned to you against that clients wishes. Customers are allowed to pick their contractor

Many women want to ride with other women for safety reasons. Men would only choose their riders gender for bigotry reasons. There is little reason to enable their bigotry. If fewer bigots ride it’s a bug not a feature.

They aren’t here for regime change they are here for PR points and to distract from domestic problems.

A) They aren’t going to ever tell you it’s time because your needs never meant anything to them

B) There will be no weapons air dropped to you because your revolution is a non-goal for them.

C) The remaining military is still going to be mostly alive and capable of machine gunning you down again

D) The new leader will be as bad as the old in fact it will probably be one of his deputies who have already been largely running the show
