@daringfireball I wonder why you’re reporting on life-saving laws on a continent where you don’t live instead of the impending fascist takeover of the country where you do.

@Starfia Yes, instead of.

@Dataless –

Yes, that particular article; others were more recent (in case you didn't know, which evidently you didn't). In any case, the "takeover" has been looming for nine years, and the vehicle law is today's news. Faulting a tech writer for covering today's tech news doesn't quite strike me as… well, anything.
