2017 for me!
(I had been using Linux on some systems since 2002 and first tried it in the late '90s, but 2017 was the year in which I ditched Windows even on my gaming machine, permanently.)

This is pretty much off-topic, but I'm too pleased about my advocacy interests converging to care.
Yes, but never mind that.
This is going to cause Soviet-style, empty shelves, lining up for bread, actual goddamned shortages.
You forgot to "beep boop." Please report for debugging.

We give breathalyzer lockouts to DUI convicted citizens. Why? Because they’ll drive anyway. You can pull licenses all you want, but when driving is required to live, the people will drive. And they’ll do it even when they’re a raging alcoholic.
Frankly, if we're going to be fucking with people's property rights anyway, I think it would actually be better public policy to confiscate the whole car. First of all, it forcibly creates another pedestrian, and therefore increases public support for non-car infrastructure. Second, asserting this right to control parts of people's property and prohibiting them from modifying it without taking it away completely creates this weird "in-between" kind of ownership that leads to creeping expansion of infringement and has bad implications for things like Right to Repair, etc. I mean, you proved my point yourself: (paraphrased) "we already do it for breathalyzer lockouts, so that must mean it's okay." When does it end?
Judges can remove a person’s right to drive too
That has never been a right, except on private land that the driver owns. Driving in public has always been a privilege.
Trump, Biden, Pelosi, McConnell, etc. are from the generation before Boomers. That's how fucking old they are!
There are way too fucking many Gen X, Millennial, and Zoomer fascists out there for the problem to end when the last boomer has died. It's not an age issue; it's an ideology issue.
"Instead of using traffic calming to slow cars or designing cities properly so that people don't need to drive in the first place, let's violate people's privacy and property rights to forcibly install a tracking and speed governor device in their car because even when we've already suspended their license it's still somehow unreasonable to actually stop them from driving! Car-dependency and car-supremacy, fuck yeah!"
Everything about this is comprehensively despicable.
That's three years too late.

immediately upon starting:
The whole essence of MAGA ideology is "rules for thee, not for me" hypocrisy. They literally cannot conceive that they might get targeted with this gestapo shit.
I could be wrong, but my very limited experience with bread makers is that they're basically for making loaves more conveniently, since they can mix, knead and bake all in one device. If you've got to remove the dough and form it into buns to bake on a sheet pan anyway, I'm not sure a bread machine has any advantage over a normal stand mixer.
