Elon Musk’s misinformation machine made the horrors of Southport, a small town in the UK, much worse
Canada is pretty bad, but if Russia and Saudi Arabia are not on your list of petrostates, you're doing it wrong.
Could be an episode of Black Mirror
Yes, banning mass surveillance systems including ALPR is a good idea too. In the mean time, go ahead and take care of the problems that are your own responsibility. Disable the modem, and don't buy a car that has one unless you're sure you can do that.
Haha silly Manjaro users, only 6.83 happy while I am 6.93 happy as a Debian user. My Linux knowledge is clearly superior to most, not counting those excessively happy freaks running Slackware.

"I was well within my rights and I was not doing anything unjust," Dsta'hyl told reporters on Wednesday. "We were seizing equipment that was destroying our lands."

For instant access to the browser back button, I have it positioned in the far top-left corner so that just swiping the mouse in that direction hits it without having to look at it. Unless it's on the other monitor, which is mildly annoying when it happens but you know, probably not by enough to change my decades-old habit of buying the cheapest and simplest mouse that's easily available and looks like it might not fall apart in a week, much the same way as I tend to shop for socks: reluctantly, when it's necessary.
