From the article: “We found no evidence that red light cameras improve public safety. They don’t reduce the total number of vehicle accidents, the total number of individuals injured in accidents or the total number of incapacitating injuries that involve ambulance transport to a hospital.”

If you have any research that contradicts it I’m open to reading it but the evidence indicates there are just as many serious accidents.

“Evidence clearly shows that camera programs are effective at decreasing the number of vehicles running red lights. In one study in Virginia, red light cameras reduced the number of total drivers running red lights by 67 percent.” Seems pretty effective to me.

At reducing that one behavior? Sure, but we also have to look at what other impacts it has.

We could reduce the number of people running red lights by 100% if we removed traffic lights, doesn’t mean it’s a good solution.

"When the Houston cameras were removed, angle accidents increased by 26 percent. However, all other types of accidents decreased by 18 percent. " So, a net increase in accidents. I can’t make their numbers match up with their conclusion.

The next sentence is “Approximately one-third of all Houston intersection accidents are angle accidents. This suggests that the program’s drawbacks canceled out its benefits.”

Say there are 100 accidents, 33 of which are from people running red lights.

A 26% decrease in red light running accidents results in 9 fewer accidents from running red lights. (.26*33=8.58)

An 18% increase in other accidents results in 12 more accidents from people slamming on their brakes. (.18*66=11.88)

So a net increase of 3 accidents.

Yeah, the old ones are fine, but they’re just turning into mass surveillance tools now

American roads are massive and built so you can safely drive way higher than the limit, which means most people do. It sucks and the solution is to design roads better.

Currently we just have a system where going the speed limit causes backups and people make dangerous maneuvers to get around you.

Hell, I even got pulled over for ‘impeding the flow of traffic’ once when I was going slightly over the speed limit. Pig just gave me a warning, and I certainly would’ve succeeded in contesting it if he hadn’t, but our whole road infrastructure sucks

Cool, sucks that we went with the vibes feels like it should help solution then.

Maybe don’t speed

Don’t you want to catch people who habitually run red lights, and therefore represent a danger to the public?

If it improves safety, which it’s not clear red light cameras do. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/red-light-cameras-may-not-make-streets-safer/

If you’re not the sort of person who runs the red lights then the cameras are irrelevant to you.

This is the same argument as ‘mass surveillance shouldn’t matter if you have nothing to hide,’ it’s a fallacy that only considers some elements of the situation.

The way we run society is relevant for all people in it. My taxes fund maintenance of these systems. I want us to work on effective prevention not bandaid punitive systems that don’t improve safety.

No, I just haven’t seen any evidence red light cameras are effective.

Also I don’t like everything being under camera surveillance, so I need a strong justification to be fine with more of it

Honestly, I wouldn’t wait for valve, they do things on their own time.

Bazzite is basically the exact same thing. There’s a few technical differences but they don’t really matter for a normal user

Nobody has been acting like rust solves all programming errors, it solves a specific subset of them: the one responsible for the vast majority of vulnerabilities

Yeah, I actually like windows 8s ui

I have to disagree, the point of the video was to try how Linux was for someone to switch over to. People engage with Linux like that and pop os changed the error bypass command as a result. It was a net positive for desktop Linux.

Now ltt as a whole? Yeah, no. Reviewing coolers on the wrong GPU, auctioning off prototypes instead of returning them, recommending people use insecure windows debloaters, etc. is completely unacceptable.

In addition to what everyone’s suggested, you can also add custom CSS for their jellyfin account to hide stuff they don’t need access to.

Yes, source available is distinct from open source. Source available just means you can see the code. Open source allows you to modify and redistribute the code.

Yeah, you can. SteamOS is basically just a customized arch Linux. It’s what runs on the steam deck, which you can install non-steam games on. They integrate really well into the console experience as well.

Noones going into your home and taking features away from you, they just decided they don’t want to be putting a ton of effort into something 2 people care about.

The beauty of FOSS is devs are free to make these decisions just like you’re free to develop what you need.

A midlevel director who doesn’t use the tool but thinks all the features the salesperson mentioned seem cool

I doubt you could (well, with a level of effort 99.9999% of people world be willing to put in), power and the pcie connection would cause problems.
