Your probably should if your interested in digital rights. Pretty good author too.

That doesn’t have me wait for tens of minutes while one core slogs it’s guts out and the other fifteen sit there idle.

From my perspective the biggest thing wrong with FreeCAD is that it’s a single threaded app in a multicore world. If you load large stuff, the app freezes and one core is working really hard for a while.

All sounds good and a real improvement to now.

I’ve used the NY subway before. It’s the kind of thing you’d want for all cities. I’ve passed through Chicago and saw the trams, but didn’t get to go one. They looked great at least. Most US cities I’ve been to have just felt like sprawl where driving is only option. Often where it seamed there was no real centre to go to anyway.

The US is so big it’s amazing it doesn’t have good fast rain connecting it all. A wave of rail building could do wonders. Cities without a centre would end up growing one at the rail hub. You could then de-car that centre, make it somewhere to go.

It was a bit of a culture shock to be honest.

Years ago, I, a brit, was in Austin Texas for 7 weeks for work. During that time I thought it would good to go see New Orleans. I was like “I’ll just jump on a train and read and sleep until I’m there.” This what I had done in Europe. I had my error explained. So I drove. I mean, it was kind of interesting to see the different landscapes, but it was also really boring and time consuming. Basically got there, spent a few hours, and had to turn round and drive back.

Why the hell doesn’t the US have a passenger train network??

With the classic Russian tactic of burying the enemy under Russian dead. Plus the natural brutal winters.

I thin libertarian is just anarchy by another name. Regulated free market is the way to go, if you want democracy, which is the least bad, but those regulations need constant adjustment. The system need constant weeding or corruption grows.

Force platforms like Twitter to support ActivityPub from governments. Then give alerts to citizens that way. Tear down the closed walls at least for government emergency alerts.

Or any other service, that like Twitter, is a closed for profit service of a multinational for profit corporations.

Oh compact was just right for me. Fast and mobile friendly and not loads of space taken by pictures.

You can still get to the compact interface with /.i on the end of the URL. But they are making it harder and harder to not use their terrible default interface, which is clearly focused on ad delivery not UX.

If it’s only to your own servers, it is much less of an issue. Use Firefox and it will ask your permission if a site requests it.

Don’t sell to the grid if you can avoid it. Charge a house battery, charge a EV, run all your stuff for the day. Always better to use than sell back to the grid anyway.

But my larger point was that by harming green energy, you harm energy costs and harm the economy. It becomes less competitive to economies who ride reality instead of fight it.

And yes, I don’t know California policies. Hand up, I’m a Brit who just champions green energy transitions. I watch https://grid.iamkate.com with glee.

You mean 120% of what it was? 20% of what it was means way cheaper, and I’m sure you mean more expensive.

Sure but it’s self defeating, making things more expensive. Putting that whole state/country at a disadvantage against those who use cheap clean power instead of fighting it.

We tried your way. It failed. We ended up with no standard and a mess of chargers.

Yer, that won’t be forever. Brexit hasn’t worked out well.

To be fair, that is true of a lot of dropship stuff on Amazon and EBay already. Claiming EC marking and the like they just don’t meet. The EU needs to come down hard on these market platforms. It’s unfair on legitimate manufacturers and bad/unsafe for consumers.

Like a lot Trump stuff, that is a whole bag of crazy! Yet another reason to hope he doesn’t get in.

Easier to recycle solar pannels and wind turbines than burnt coal or gas…

Solar and wind are now the cheapest power. https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/electricity_generation/ Both can be mixed with other land use. Both are still undergoing material use evolution.

Fission is always going to be an issue because humans aren’t grown up enough to handle the waste. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/nuclear-waste-is-piling-up-does-the-u-s-have-a-plan/

Let alone running them safely. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_power_accidents_by_country So I’m pretty uncomfortable with standardized nuclear modules (sub reactors) being distributed far and wide.

Maybe fusion will be different, but it always seams decades away.
