  • Meanwhile it’s costing the UK public broadcaster money to defend, money that’d have gone to show production and infrastructure upgrades to compete with Netflix/Prime Video/Disney Plus/etc.

    Wouldn’t at all surprise me if the streaming services as part of the caputilation deals with the trump controlled FCC wanted him to burn a good portion of the BBCs money with this SLAPP and/or give political ammunition to Farage and Murdoch to get the BBC disbanded when they get into power.











  • Sort-of. What I’m imagining is a small selection of vehicle sizes from small hatchback to estate/people carrier to van/kei-sized pickup that have a common battery pack size, motor, and inverter.

    You’d choose the type of vehicle that has just the basics built-in like safety and AC.

    The rest is customisable and allows for 3rd party manufacturers to make ancillary products for it. Do this by using existing standards for 3rd party automotive parts and then create new standards with open sourced designs for things that aren’t: i.e. the battery pack size and interface, and inverter size and interface.

    Eventually what I’d like to see is a market where people can keep these vehicles running by upgrading, repairing, recycling.

    If I had a billion dollars laying around I’d sink it into trying to create an automotive co-operative to get at least 3 different sized vehicles with a common battery, motor, and inverter made, through certification, and then released. Then let the market do it’s thing when presented with a new opportunity: adopt and grow.

    And I know that I’m certainly missing a lot of issues with this idea but that’s just what it is, an idea and it’ll probably stay that way unless someone else has the resources to make it.

    You think the US can’t invade itself?

    Hahahahahaha, here in Britain the ruling class managed to colonize their own country to entrench the class system by tieing the economy to the financial services sector.

    I reckon the US would invade itself, after all the only wars they know how to fight are against guerrilla forces (even then it’s a spotty record), and there’s none more challenging than one that speaks the same language.
