Currently, PopOS although I'm not really that enthusiastic about it.

What? Why would you choose that over Baptist Church of Missouri SynodOS, you heretic?

It will be interesting to see if it passes Constitutional muster. The Constitution only requires that "the people" choose the legislator. Previous attempts to regulate voting like this required amendments (e.g. elimination of the poll tax).

He came for a slice of cake.

I mean, Keiko.

Then they would have to remove the various hooks in the Settings app that actually call and open the Control Panel.

How many are there? I can think of several (advanced mouse settings, advanced network settings, printer properties, date & time has a callout back to the old panel..)

Windows 10 came out nine years ago, so they don't seem in any particular rush.

Yeah I'm not excusing the driver parking it like a jackass.

It depends on the use case, though. If that driver's main concern is getting in and out of muddy work sites safely, maybe carrying cargo is less important than 4WD cred.

FYI, Fortnine is based in Canada.

Increases or decreases in the frequency of pedestrian-driver fatalities is affected by lots of things, although I suggest that poor road design and traffic laws might have a positive feedback effect when combined with limited forward visibility (e.g. a truck with poor forward visibility isn't a huge liability in Canadian road designs might be a larger liability in typical US road designs).

Unfortunately I don't know if we collect the right accident statistics. Perhaps the more relevant question is: are pickup trucks over-represented in pedestrian fatalities as a result of vehicle collision compared to other vehicles, and has that representation grown as truck grill heights have grown? I found a doc on Canadian pedestrian fatalities, but it classified all passenger vehicles as a single class -- and unfortunately that doesn't tell us much since most 4-wheel pickups are classified as passenger vehicles.

Fortnine has an excellent video about this issue.

I don't pretend to know what professional landscape contractors need for their job.

I'm all for f*ck cars but people who have actual jobs that involve moving stuff like gravel and sod probably have different needs than I do, I assume?

Yeah, but ISPs are rich and VPN providers are not. The most recent numbers I can find for Cox (2020) show $12.6 billion in revenue.
