"Collision" is too harsh a term, let's call it "passing too close"

I mean, the list of thing you have to do to be subjected to this is not very long and easy to avoid. You wouldn't want anyone to do this using your car, with confiscation or without, as it could just as well mean your car getting totaled in an accident:

Violations of the Criminal Law

  • Negligent manslaughter under particularly aggravating circumstances.
  • Negligently causing significant harm to someone’s body or health under particularly aggravating circumstances.
  • Wilfully causing imminent danger to someone’s life or property.

Violations of the Road Traffic Law

  • Particularly reckless driving.
    
  • Speeding by more than 100 per cent when driving at a speed of more than 100 km/h.
    
  • Driving at a speed of 200 km/h or more.
    
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol with a blood alcohol level of more than 2,00.

Trump says EU must buy $350B of US energy to get tariff relief

But he also indicated that he wanted the EU to reduce its standards to allow more U.S. goods to enter its market, referring to safety measures as "non-monetary tariffs."

"It's tariffs where they put things on where they make it impossible for you to sell a car ... they make it so difficult, the standards and the tests," Trump said. "They come up with rules and regulations that are just designed for one reason: that you can't sell your product in those countries. And we're not gonna let that happen. Those are called non-monetary barriers."

Keep your pedestrian hazards like the cybertruck in your country. We already have enough people driving unnecessarily huge cars. We need less and smaller cars.

What can you do on Linux that you can't do on Windows?

  • boot from a btrfs snapshot
  • run docker without running a second kernel
  • boot an older kernel, in case something fails
  • run the system completely without a gui, to save video RAM for other tasks
  • distro hopping
  • use multiple desktop environments
  • use your computer without a mouse
  • create a directory named CON
  • use old hardware painlessly
  • have your system not spy on you without extra effort
  • create weird stacks of software raid, volume manager, disk encryption and filesystems and then boot from it
  • read the kernel developer mailing list and be hyped for new kernel features like bcachefs, which will hopefully come someday
