Or perhaps you are deluded about the France you are living in, or you are deliberately misrepresenting the truth to pass your opinion as fact. 30 years vs 50 years is not a large enough magnitude to use as justification as either offers ample opportunity to acquire this knowledge.
Welcome to the brainwashing that is political correctness. He might call all black people 'african americans', but that's because that's what the 'multicultural' leftist retards were teaching in school while he was young. If he used the term, it means he was trying to do the right thing. Of course, at least several european countries have the same kinds of stupidity, like refusing to acknowledge differences between the sexes because it offends idiot feminists. For example, sweden recently tried to force the use of 'ungendered' pronouns in schools, along with other stupid shit, like banning urinals.
We can't even secure automated control systems for sensitive industry, simple consumer devices, or even fully automate trains. What makes you think we can automate free range vehicles?
Even if your free roaming car becomes reality, I am sure it will come with a host of automated babysitters that ensure my priorities align with the priorities of those who own the car, or own the law. Fuck that. People like you are clueless about the realities of human nature. If there's a power vacuum, people will grab for it. They don't care. There's a reason why property ownership is a good thing.
Only because most of the world lives under socialist regimes disguised as democracy, whether it's the dirty boot heels of dear leader kim, or the 'soft', stagnant, and effeminate, culture that's been grafted onto scandinavia. While there are plenty of ignorant, jingoistic americans (throughout the political spectrum) who are clueless about the true state of their country, there are many more in other countries just as jingoistic and ignorant about theirs. The self-righteous arrogance of the foreign contingent here on slashdot shows this quite clearly, and they should learn to practice what they preach. Most of them know as little about america as most americans do about other countries. They get their propaganda soundbites from their media and regurgitate what they hear the same way americans do.
There are still plenty of us left who don't want to live in the computer automated police state you're advocating. Thanks, I'll pass. I'll deal with the occasional asshole driver in return for having more autonomy by having control over a vehicle I own.
You're missing one attribute: contextual awareness. An insect has more of it than Google's 'self' driving mockups, which use heuristics to choose which preprogrammed 'situation' it's in. That's fine for controlled testing, but it is not safer than a reasonable human driver.
or better yet, defund a bunch of the stupid shit they're doing and divert the money to computing resources.. The rest of us call it 'working within a budget', but the elites call it 'waaaaaah daddy took the credit card away!'
Maybe they figure they got us by the balls (note I didn't say they're right). The desktop market in linux is virtually nonexistent. Maybe it's a case of an honest desire to improve things while figuring a bit of lock-in couldn't hurt them. Of course this doesn't mean poettering, kay and friends aren't issues for the community...or maybe systemd configuration is more easily squeezed into a certification test they can charge for.. Who knows..
Is that really true? Last I read, there was a reasonable set of pros for systemd (cgroup and zombie management for ex), as well as valid criticism (opacity, overcomplexity, security etc). Usually the first ones out the gate to scream troll are the ones losing the argument. It's the first step towards establishing themselves as 'victims.'
Not so easy since it is in the process of becoming a dependency for most of the base system. Currently, for much of it, it is an optional one, but that is slowly changing. This is redhat's embrace and extend.

No. The french care about the enforcement of conformity and standardization than they do about correctness or individual liberty.
You mean how the 'blame america' people here get their 'anecdotes' about americans from the koolaid flavored media in their home countries?

Sounds like a typical socialist to me. No solutions, only complaints, with a narcissistic superiority complex thrown in for great (social) justice.

if you're that afraid, stay off the road. the rest of us want to keep our liberties intact.
get real. every new product includes built-in police state features.

There are plenty of embedded systems out there with shit firmware.
I guess, if you like the state or insurance companies telling you when and where you may travel.

Not everyone.. just girls.
Actually, I am relieved.
I thought this was going to be one of those lurid gay sex stories that start innocuously.
I think your time would be better spent playing those CD-I mario and zelda games.

So what's the answer? increase those taxes that these rich people don't have to pay so that the 99% feels it more?

Oh, and knock it off with the passive-aggressive professional victim routine.
That wasn't an apology for anyone.

Go right ahead. There are plenty of distributions that use it.
These 'attacks' do not prevent people from working on what they want to. Stop equating heated debates online with getting mugged in the street.
