Ride sharing and self driving are a natural combo . A ride sharing system for self driving electric cars & light trucks would be a game changer for ‘last mile’ and intra suburban transport ,

And ride sharing would reduce the manufacturing cost of providing a fleet of these vehicles for a city since fewer vehicles would be needed for the same number of people.

Here are several use cases where it would be ideal.

1: Transport to your residence or place of work from a mass transit station in inclement weather , or for people with heavy things to carry or the disabled who find travel to the mass transit station impractical or impossible.

The vehicle would be stationed in a parking lot/recharging station at the mass transit station and be available for rent via an app , it would then return to the parking lot autonomously and connect to the recharger to be ready for the next person. or conversely it could be summoned via the app and drive autonomously to the customer to be used .

2: An electric light truck variant could be used for moving or furniture delivery.

3: Disabled individuals could have access to accessible electric vehicles on an ‘on demand’ basis making trips to the stores or friends far easier for them. And stores would not need dozens of disabled parking spots or even a parking lot at all , they would only need one or two accessible general use loading and unloading areas near the entrance. and the acres and acres of land that was once a parking lot could be repurposed as a park or community space of some kind , or perhaps rezoned to provide extra housing for an over populated area.

The Fediverse feels a lot like the old Reddit from 10+ years ago , but I suspect that once it becomes mainstream the shills and bots will move in and ruin it like they ruined Reddit.

This makes electric cars less polluting with every passing day as this percentage increases.

On 4chan that would not even be an insult . 4chan can be far far more creative than that.

Reddit was pretty much a shell of its former self before the third party app scandal, it was just the straw that broke the camel’s back , but before that there was a litany of mistakes and bed decisions that killed all the fun that reddit used to be the host of.

One thing I will not miss is the self important super moderators who patrol the site flexing on anyone as they act as self appointed guardians of morality , always ready with a script to mass ban someone who displeases them from hundreds of subreddits for the most petty of reasons , such as disagreeing with them and worse , being provably right.

End result? Civil rights legislation and the end of Jim Crow Laws. He did die though, but all his immediate goals were accomplished and significant progress was made on his major goals and he is a hero to millions.

Or ask the British empire in India in 1947… Peaceful protests won them their independence and started the ball rolling for decolonialization worldwide.

Reddit is nothing but a bunch of violent thugs , I had the sheer nerve to suggest non-violent passive resistance might be a viable form of protest and I was met with wave after wave of hateful responses and a downvote brigade.

I am looking for an equivalent to Open Directories which list open caliber libraries.

Just accept that Reddit has brain worms and move here , this is a better solution because nobody can possibly own the entire network.

Steam installs perfectly well on Debian and most games pick up a small performance boost from running on an OS with less overheads.

Unraid servers can be hosted from Debian with few issues .

He has been quite clear in his views he views the mods as landed gentry and the common users as peasants . Fuck Spez.

If you run an ad blocker and no ads turn up when you browse , they they won’t get ad money from you. Negating the value of engagement.

Use public key encryption programs like Open PGP or GNU Privacy Guard.

BUT you will want a program that is under active community development which releases regular updates to address any weaknesses or flaws as soon as they are developed , and ideally you want to be able to hand a copy to all trusted people you would like to securely communicate with.

The fediverse is far more open to the idea of being a “marketplace of ideas” .

That is what Reddit was before Spez got greedy and abandoned the liberal ideas that made Reddit great when Aaron Swartz was around.

if they keep it up at this rate Linux will be the only OS people use by the year 3090 (16.66 years per percentage point)
