  • IIRC, Chauvin made the plea deal on federal charges so that he would do his time in the relative safety of a federal prison.

    Which would mean that if he gets pardoned on federal charges, then he would have to serve out his remaining state time in a state pen… the very thing he wanted to avoid. He would probably be dead in under a month unless he spent the next decade or more in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day (like he did in his pre-trial detention).

    Which would be a crying shame, of course…






    1. Buy a share in a publicly-traded insurance company.
    2. At a shareholder meeting, ask if the company has factored increased political risk, vandalism, arson, third-party damage from arson, etc into its premium calculations for: Tesla owners; Tesla showrooms; Tesla charging stations; car parks that even have Teslas in them; any other conceivably exposed company or individual.
    3. Repeat with every other insurance company.
    4. Repeat said concerns in every other possible medium (is there a Lemmy community for insurance actuaries?)
    5. Sit back and watch people and businesses scramble to avoid “the Tesla tax” of ever-increasing insurance premiums.






  • Zen: On one machine, Flatpak. On the other, AppImage through AM. Firefox: Mint-maintained version from Mint repo (deb).

    I can’t remember the exact differences between Firefox upstream and Mint version. But I believe Mint began maintaining their own deb at a time when upstream Ubuntu was only offering Firefox as a snap, which Mint is against, and Mozilla hadn’t yet begun offering their own deb repo.
