It's better to use the term "collision" as "accident" is loaded and implies that no-one is at fault or to blame. There's a long history of car industry bodies changing the narrative around traffic collisions in reporting (e.g. use of passive voice and not mentioning a driver).

It would be easier to ask how this is a normal way of speaking? Gypsies is already a derogatory word, vagrant implies something criminal rather than cultural about their behaviours, and he's making an issue of them not being local vagrants (what?). The decisions he's incredulous about came about democratically and the debates involved were carried out by public representatives and are publicly actually. The incredulity is just rhetoric and the implication that they're dangerous because they're foreign or live transiently surely has no place in a modern society.
> When wolves get out of control, you shoot them.
How is this in any way a non-extreme metaphor to use?
It is. The Romani aren't vagrants and they're doing nothing illegal. Calling them vagrants is charged and misleading.
> Vagrants and transients are often dangerous and mentally ill.
That can be true. Again the Romani aren't vagrants and using the word to describe then implies a level of danger and/or mental health issues that isn't evidenced.
> It is reasonable to use state violence to suppress crimes.
No-one has asserted otherwise.
> the control of dangerous animals being similar to the control of dangerous people is not extreme.
It's generally accepted the dehumanising a people or culture is extreme, I'm not sure how you can argue otherwise. There are any number of alternative metaphors that could have been used (not to mention that the argument could have been built on its own weight) that wouldn't have involved comparing an entire people to a pest that needs to be controlled with lethal force.
okay but on apple devices (for instance) I believe the private keys are stored in the icloud keychain, otherwise there would be no passkey portability between your apple devices
I think you are correct.
It trivialises true evil with silly superficial comparisons.
Popular with those who love to shout the word "Fascist" but have no idea what it historically meant.
I'm not sure. I don't use Mac anymore. It used to be my daily driver but they pushed me away a few years ago with the constant iOSification. I've heard good thing about LM Studio, that's about it. https://lmstudio.ai/
I just run a server with Linux (previously multiple servers but I found a way to add multiple GPUs to a single one).
Similar here, except I used Opus 4.8. I don't mind using cloud models to make code as long as I don't put actual private data into the model. And I can't run qwen 27b reliably at the moment, I need a better gpu.
It was pretty easy mode like this tbh, though you do need to know what you're doing. I use it with llama-server and openwebui.
I guess you can get it a lot more click to go with something like LM Studio though but I want to use it on a server and call upon its services from multiple sources.
