The “results” portion they got rid of is credibility of the results based on cross linking i.e. people linking to useful resources. It was the thing that made Google the best search engine.
Noe they prioritise what sell the most ads as the top priority.
I tried it on my main desktop after dumping windows. Tried ot along with CachyOS and Bazzite.
CachyOS was too bleeding edge for me.
MX was very easy to work with, but I could not get a lot of my gaming stuff working with my limited skills. Things like HDR was not working well on my monitor, everything just looked washed out. Could not get it converted to Wayland, etc. It did not support 5.1 audio over Spidif on my sound card.
Settled on Bazzite with plasma which was similarly stable, while having the gaming, display and audio stuff correctly configured out of the box.
True, but FOSS software is not immune to enshitification from private equity.
They are quitting becuase they see another lastpass happening. The new CEO is a toxic private equity leech.
5k to 8k depending on vehicle. Nothing mass manufactured yet. A lot of those products in the developing world. Lots of full electric conversion kits as well, but range is usually short to keep cost and size low.
You can probably do an hybrid conversion of a popular ICE vehicle.
The newest kits replace the transmission and adds a battery in the trunk. The engine is then converted to run at a fixed RPM for max efficiency. You can also plug them in to charge at home and on short trips they never even start the engine.
Aside form the lost Trunk space, there are very few downsides.
There really should be more investment in this area so it becomes available dor mor cars.
Disappointed they did not dance on the braces to achor them in the ground. Now after firing its all shifted.
I agree never a one size fits all situation. I do not have much confidence in central planning, since that has the longest track record in failure. Both in governments and in corporations.
A natural disaster would be handled by regional or national disaster response agencies. Much like it is now in western countries.
Regarding wealth or resource imbalance between poorer and richer areas, this is where I think the current status quo is the problem. Since after the industrial revolution, the high productivity of cities has been subsidizing the wealth of the suburbs and rural areas to the significant detriment of overall productivity.
We need to rethink the infrastructure standards outside of cities. Right now the suburb sprawl of single homes with large yards, malls and massive parking lots and roads are utterly unsustainable.
Its are hampering the productive capacity, food quality and security provided by rural land. What this looks like is a lot like older european villages. People live relatively densely surrounded by farmland and pasture. Car ownership is low since you can walk or bike anywhere, or there is a tram or bus to where you need to go. I would also point out that much of this infrastructure was developed and maintained locally with little to no central government.
Once you stop the subsidization and change the role to be something more sustainable, you will find that the wealth and productive density per person will balance according to the inherit environmental factors to a much larger degree.
I also want to highlight is that a lack of central control and planning does not prevent collaboration and coordination from occuring between entities. Our modern communication technology makes this possible to a degree that the founders of socialism and communism could never have anticipated.
Much like industrialization has changed the world order, the communication revolution has done the same. The political and economic sciences are still playing catchup.
I would argue that state facilitation is superior to state control.
A small government that does not interfere with the initiative of individuals and groups.
You don’t need central control and orchistration when you have our level of communication technology. That’s only required when your communication channels are limited.
The state at national level should be limited to providing facilitation, infrastructure, defence and foreign policy. Independent Local governments should provide the bulk of public services.
I trust collective decision making a lot more than central decision making for optimising a system.
I would argue capitalism is bad in nature, but people confuse free markets as being inherit to capitalism, which it is not.
Capitalism at its core is about ownership, in that those with money own a thing and thus make the decisions. This results in an Oligarchy controlling the market.
Communism in contrast is about collective ownership in that those that produce, own and make the decisions. However in practice, that ownership get usurped by “the state” which basically translates to an oligarchy through control of the market.
This is why I like the term, free market socialism. Ownership should be held by the producers, but the state should not control the market. The role of government in the market should be limited to monopoly prevention.
Thats what we see when we see you smokers. Sucking on the teet of substance dependance.
People who are forced to use it because web developers have abandoned non chrome based browsers in their testing and validation.
And its getting better more modern implementations. Not code from the mid 2000s that has been run though dozens of code translations and compatibility layers.
I think in rural areas you are dealing with a small minority. Suburbs should not need 2-3 cars per household. Cities certainly should not.
I think even Rural infrastructure should be setup for a 0-1 car per household. 90% of personal transport can be handled by two wheels and ride hailing services.
Using the unsafe argument for two wheels just points out the car problem more. Also the truck problem, which is due to mismanagement of train and rail resources.
Amen, Driving is dependance.
This is why you should play with fire as a kid (with proper supervision and environment of course)
It makes you less likely to panic or freeze up when you encounter a real fire.
Got them mixed, but they are doing both.
There are Chinese back-alley workshops already lifting the NAND modules from them and installing them on standard DIMM modules.
Edit: meant DRAM modules.
You mean like a Samsung Galaxy S5?
Or any of the the ruggedized industrial phones available today?
Its one of those save a dollar in manufacturing and forced obsolecence decisions made in a boardroom.
They have gaslit people into thinking its because of waterproofing.
Vehicles should be taxed based on weight and dimensions.
