No civilian needs this kind of firepower. Yes, I'm a veteran, I've shot all kinds of U.S. and foreign military weapons of all calibers. I've owned guns for sport, hunting, and self defense.
When I worked in DOD I recall a weird time when a wave of dick measuring swept through my office when all the civilian men were buying ludicrous assault weapons for no reason than to feel like their sense of manhood was fulfilled for each other's approval. Nobody needed those guns for anything. It was a result of a uniquely American, manufactured gun worship that advertising has successfully linked into many men's sense of their own maleness. Kind of pathetic in my opinion.
No civilian needs this kind of firepower. We had limitations on 2A before. We even have some limitations on it now. We can do more. Take military style assault weapons off the market. huffpost.com/entry/ap-us-med-cโฆ

The treaty meant to control nuclear risks is under strain 80 years after the US bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
This has been worrying me. The Chinese arsenal is being expanded, and the US has a wildcard president. I am concerned that the US government may restart nuclear testing in order to terrorise its own citizenry as much as other countries. God forbid. We have to be brave now, not later.

I have no problem using 3D acceleration on Crostini, it uses vulkan and pipes right into the Wayland display. That said it *is* Intel and the acceleration isn't stellar, but it's much better than if it were just software rendered.
