OK, so you want to go live in the wilderness. That was always allowed.

Dunno about you but the boxers get soaked. They would be very little to prevent the shorts from also getting sweaty.

So my moving company should use trains? I’m not sure if you’re just naive or something else. Of course we don’t “need” cars. The same way we don’t need Internet, or electricity.

Shut up. We need to keep changing the shape of bubbles. New colors. New UIs. Never stop changing. We should revamp the whole UI twice per version. Keep people on their toes. What, your grandma can’t keep up? Sucks to be her!

Yes. Tech bros always seem to live in a bubble where everyone is like them.

If you say there will never be buses near you, I presume you don’t live in a city. If you did, I don’t see why the city creating a bus line there wouldn’t be possible.

For folks commuting from outside the city to inside, the best is a big car park outside the city next to a commuter train station. Make it frequent and reliable.

No cars is a bit too idealistic, but agree on ending the general dependency on them. Cars is not just speed, but also access. And car infractructure is the same as for buses, emergency vehicles, taxis etc. And I don’t think we should necessarily end those.

But yeah, I still chant for “no cars” as the idealistic general goal.

But in case of accident, you might be at fault. In my country, if there’s a crossing within some number of meters, you need to use it. Otherwise, it’s not illegal.

While I agree, companies have a lot of data on their audience. They probably don’t care about poor people without disposable income for a 1k console. But we’ll see how it turns out.

If there’s a trustworthy human being, hank green is probably up there in top contenders…

That barely moved the needle when they released Manifest v3. Why now?

Internet boycotts to mega corps literally never make a difference.

Cheap vanillin flavouring lacks all dimensions of vanilla, so it is indeed “plain”

Right after Google announced that all synced data will start counting to Drive’s data limit.

After the whole blunder with the new swappable battery law excluding all modern smartphones, I too am very skeptical.

Nah. They will slightly tweak the law last minute to only cover yellow microwaves.

A mix. In uni we learned algorithms in pseudo code and that was always in native language. Actual coding was typically English, but older professors often did it in their language.

At the same time, Ubuntu is so dumbed down thst certain things are impossible via the UI. I spent a whole day and 5 reinstalls to be able to install an encrypted OS next to another partition. This used to be trivial though the infstaller.

The current wave of LLM development did put a stop to a lot of AI research. LLM is this big hammer that you can hit everything with, and kinda solve it. But it’s rarely the most efficient and correct. But because it’s so much easy to use, that’s what people are using now.

Same. I love the concept. But I would never buy a phone with so many moving parts.
