  • The court records and driving histories reveal a state so concerned with people having access to motor vehicles for work and life that it allows deadly drivers to share our roads despite the cost. Officials may call driving a privilege, but they treat it as a right — often failing to take drivers’ licenses even after they kill someone on the road.

    With little to no mass transit in most of the country these people would often become impoverished and or essentially wards of the state so this is not surprising.

    We found nearly 40% of the drivers charged with vehicular manslaughter since 2019 have a valid license.

    I honestly figured this would be higher. I don’t expect anything to change as long as this country is intensely car focused for transportation though.




  • Offhand anecdotes here as I only have Ubuntu on a 2012 MacBook.

    That said the error post update is likely just a service that didn’t restart properly. Many of these are not necessarily critical, does it say what program crashed? A reboot would guarantee a fix here.

    Unfortunately the issues with apps might be the snap packaging, this does slow apps down a bit which could cause pretty much all the remaining issues. I haven’t personally used it but might look up flatpak as a replacement and see if that helps. If others don’t explain how to do this I will try to come edit this later with an explainer or link or something to help.
