I think that lazy shitty cops do a lot to malign common sense safety engineering that most people would otherwise be totally on board for.

Meanwhile in NYC they're only allowed to put traffic cameras in school zones, they're speed-based only, the fine is like $100, and drivers can rack up dozens of tickets without any consequence to the standing of their drivers license.

I dunno man, I feel like there's a happy medium in traffic enforcement automation between these two extremes? It's almost as if stuff like the Georgia example exists to provide ammunition to the opponents in NYC who successfully defanged traffic cameras up there. With a thin veneer over the top that this is about surveillance.

Flock cameras, AI surveillance, etc is bad. But the specific examples and criticisms being brought up, like this one, feel very disingenuous in the face of how many Americans die to distracted drivers every year. Like are we actually pushing back against AI state surveillance, or are we defending the "right" of motorists to be wildly dangerous to those around them?

LineageOS will not be enforcing Google's new developer verification. Sideloading (Which really just means not using the Play store) will still be possible on such ROMs. Even for unverified APKs.

I don't know what features you want, but GrapheneOS only runs on Pixels due to that team's specific concerns over hardware-based security, and LineageOS officially supports hundreds of phones.

No, stop using vanilla corpo software. They will fuck you again. Just put an aftermarket ROM on your android phone. I run LineageOS on an old OnePlus model. You can build it yourself if you're techy and paranoid, otherwise the tutorials to flash an official prebuilt image are not that hard for a tech-literate person, almost every supported device has a guide page on their wiki.

F-Droid for foss app repo
Aurora Store for anonymous Google Play login and installs

They're both competitions.

But Itchy and Scratchy was literally a parody of Tom and Jerry poking fun at how central violence was to the humor.

What additional factors does a bucket seat have to keep you in place during a side impact that a bench seat doesn't? I don't imagine the extra shoulder rest material really doing that much work.
