  • Why would wheelchair bound people have to pay so much more to get car they can use, when they can pay the same price as everyone else for a ticket to ride with public transportation?

    Also there are blind and other handicapped people that can easily ride public transport on their own, but would have to rely on others to ride with their own car.

    Public transport is especially useful for the handicapped and elderly compared to personal cars.

    Not really 11:00 AM +1h becomes 00:00 PM, and vice versa. PM and AM are different prefixes/systems/units. Much simpler to understand IMO. 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM would no longer exist, you just convert them from PM to AM or back when you reach them and set the numbers to 00 again.

    I guess we live in a world where things got invented by humans at some point in time, while you live in a world where some higher power just baked 12h clocks into the fabric of reality for humans to just discover. Yeah, I am not sure how we can easily find common ground.

    We are asking questions about the world and its rules to learn, study and question them, you demand acceptance and unthinking submission to it.




  • Well, that could have been fixed by booting from an usb stick, chrooting into you real system and either downloading and (re)installing the python package this way, or, if your package manager depends on python, download the package in the Live Linux and extracting the python package into your system, and then reinstalling it, so the package management overwrites your “manual installation”.

    Could be tedious, but less so that having to reinstall everything IMO.




  • TBH, buying a cheap Chinese burner phone with no security relevant data on it just for traveling to the US, might be better security wise than buying an expensive Google Pixel Phone with GrapheneOS on it.

    Especially now where Google, a US company and bound by its laws, that produces these devices, might (start) hand(ing) out backdoor keys to their hardware.






  • We are never recovering as a Nation from this. This kind of violation of the order of law in our nation will take a century to heal if not more. The United States as it was is gone, full stop.

    Well, that is the goal. I think the goal is to create a (US/global) crisis, which allows the powerful (rich) to step in to reshape the society, to fit their agenda better.

    I do not think that the Trump administration is simply incompetent, I think they are having a plan, and are executing it and what we see is part of it.

    What makes implementation so difficult is that browsers cannot just “work”, they need to be correct in what they do. And support all websites.

    The standards of HTML, CSS and JS have developed over a long time, not only is the amount of stuff massive, over time sometimes strange features where implemented, that were then used by website developers, and now these all need to be handled correctly by all new browsers.

    Emulating and reimplementing existing stuff is often more difficult, especially if you cannot leave out any feature, no matter how obscure, because that might break someone’s website.




  • But as long as they are RISC V chips, then they would run the same software as any other RISC V chips.

    Not necessarily, RISC-V is permissibly licensed, so they could add proprietary extensions, that would make the binaries or even compilers only work with their implementation of the RISC-V ISA.

    Embrace, Extend, Extinguish tactics would work on RISC-V, and I trust billionaires and huge corporations to enshittify it.

    Big player joins RISC-V, creates design, introduces proprietary extensions, builds compilers that use them, software depend on them, other RISC-V designers need to license them, because the whole platform now depends on them.

    Also based on how complicate it is to port Linux to different SoCs, which at least share a common ISA, it will be much more difficult if you need to support even more RISC-V ISAs with different proprietary extensions, not only in the kernel, but in the toolchain as well.
