UK: Cybertruck driver pulled over, vehicle seized over safety concerns: 'An over-6,000-pound piece of steel' 3/28/25

"...Though the Cybertruck recently got a high safety standard rating in the United States, the U.K. has more stringent safety standards for cars, and the Cybertruck falls short on many of these.

The first area where it fails is its size. With a massive weight of 6,898 pounds (or nearly 3 tons) and a width of 7.2 feet, the vehicle is too heavy and wide to drive safely on British roadways.... "

"Musk’s business troubles go well beyond the #TeslaTakedown protests... The myriad #safety issues plaguing #Tesla point to much broader issues with the company’s #business model. Its competitors might just be better at making #cars. The #Trump administration’s own policies aren’t helping, either."

“By firing skilled human workers & replacing them w/spicy autocomplete, Musk is assuming his final form as both…kind of boss who can be conned into replacing you w/a defective chatbot *&* as…fast-talking sales rep who cons your boss. Musk is transforming key government functions into high-speed error-generating machines whose human minders are only the payroll to take the fall for the coming tsunami of robot fuckups.”

Text from article(edited for length):
By design, the details of how "freedom cities" would be established are laden with legalese... In practice, the plan is straightforward. Advocates want the federal government to set aside land to build cities exempt from federal and state laws. Instead, the cities would function as mini-dictatorships, where the CEO of each town runs everything, and the people who live and work there are subject to the boss's whims. It would be like being an employee of a controlling company, except you don't clock out at the end of the day or have a life — or rights — outside of what the boss allows you. 

"These are going to be cities without democracy," journalist Gil Duran told Wired. He's spent years documenting how the Silicon Valley elite — along with politicians like Vice President JD Vance — have pushed the idea that democracy should be ended and replaced with governments run by all-powerful businessmen. "These are going to be cities where the owners of the city, the corporations, the billionaires have all the power and everyone else has no power." In the tech bro world Elon Musk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky government coming in to protect people's safety, autonomy or civil rights.

The People Trump and DOGE Hurt
by Joyce Vance
Mar 14, 2025

Four members of the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) filed a lawsuit against the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after HUD, with no warning, terminated Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) grants. More than $30 million in congressionally authorized funding to fair housing groups was suddenly withdrawn. Those funds are used to fight housing discrimination and enforce fair housing laws across the country.

That’s a lot of acronyms in one sentence. And even though we get that when fair housing groups lose $30 million in funding, a lot of people suffer as a result, sometimes we need to see that impact in more personal terms for it to truly sink in.

DOGE plans to double its staff, target safety net programs

During a Monday appearance on Fox Business, Musk boasted that staffers from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have now been installed at “pretty much” every federal agency...

Musk also telegraphed DOGE’s designs on dramatically reducing social safety net programs. “Most of the federal spending is entitlements. So that’s the big one to eliminate. That’s the sort of half trillion, maybe six, $700 billion,” he told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. The Trump administration has repeatedly insisted that it will only cut fraudulent entitlement spending. But that does not mesh with Musk’s desire to see entitlements reduced by at least $500 billion, as that level of fraud simply does not exist.

Thus, the issue comes down to how broadly Musk and Trump define fraud. Musk’s definition appears to include a sizable portion of legitimate entitlement spending. Earlier this month, he described Social Security as “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.” So far, DOGE’s work has served as a form of austerity theater, which — while destructive — has done very little to reduce federal spending. To shrink the social safety net and thus substantially reduce the budget, DOGE and the White House would likely need congressional action...

Regardless, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is a major DOGE target.

:linux: Strap in, get ready for more Rust Drivers in Linux Kernel.

Rust is alive and well in the Linux kernel and is expected to translate into noticeable benefits shortly, though its integration with the largely C-oriented codebase still looks uneasy. [The Linux and Rust communities still have some issues to work out.]

https://rust-for-linux.com/rust-kernel-policy

#linux #kernel #memory #safety #rust #drivers #it #security #privacy #engineer #media #programming #tech #news
In a hopeful coda to the recent maintainer drama that raised questions about the willingness of Linux maintainers to accommodate Rust code, Josh Aas, who oversees the Internet Security Research Group's Prossimo memory-safety project, late last week hailed Miguel Ojeda's work to advance memory safety in the kernel without mentioning the programming language schism.

<https://www.memorysafety.org/blog/linux-kernel-2025-update/>

"While our goal was never to rewrite the entire kernel in Rust, we are glad to see growing acceptance of Rust's benefits in various subsystems," said Aas. "Today, multiple companies have full time engineers dedicated to working on Rust in the Linux kernel."
Security – in the form of memory safety – is Rust's selling point.

Rust provides ways to avoid memory safety vulnerabilities that crop up in programming languages like C and C++ where manual memory management is allowed. Though other languages such as Python, Java, JavaScript, Swift and C# are also considered memory safe. Rust has received most of the memory safety evangelism, partly because it's suited for the sort of low-level, performance-sensitive code that for the past few decades has tended to be written in C and C++.

"Many of the most critical software vulnerabilities are memory safety issues in C and C++ code, and while there are ways to reduce the risk, including fuzzing and static analysis, memory safety vulnerabilities continue to plague the Internet," said Josh Aas in a write-up.

"Musk’s cost-cutting team is laying off workers at the auto safety agency overseeing his car company"

Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars.

Musk has accused NHTSA of holding back progress on self-driving technology with its investigations and recalls.

Serbia's students protest deadly government corruption culminating in the Novi Sad awning collapse that killed 15 people.

The authoritarian Serbian prime minister quit amidst the massive protest.

At some point, removing competent personnel from crucial public safety positions increases the probability of fatal accidents so much that tragedy is inevitable.

Not much difference in practical terms between the sabotage of public safety and murder.
