Somehow, though, people invest more and more resources into making both more real at the same time lol

'Cause trying to build AGI is speeding up the warning xD

I love trams. So nice way of getting around!

The web ui with integration of email ecosystem for all those things are one of core selling points of https://sr.ht/

I’d say this list is not about moving towards FLOSS, but more about breaking up with Google services. Some replacements are betters, some worse, but definitely in each column there is at least one non-floss application 🤔

I’ve been following the software forge federation some time ago, and didn’t feel to pick up even when it was discusssed initially. It is a neat idea on high-level, though it requires forges to implement it, which has a risk of not picking up (just look at how much iterations of social media federation protocols was there, until ActivityPub arose).

On the other hand, all of the forges are based on a distributed technology out of the box: git. Most of the “modern days” comforts there are, are just built on top, and there are different ways to approach it.

As an example, you can send patches directly to the author in email. Is heavily implemented and suggested by https://sr.ht/ (1) — a software forge, which focuses on building a federated workflow by using email for communication (which is federated by design). This way, you can create “Pull Requests” without having account on the forge — all you need to do is just submit a patch. Author is very vocal about supporting it (2), and provides quite useful guides to learn (3), (4)

Generally, I’d say that e-mail is the only federative implementation you can get so far :)

TBH, when I visited Athens, it felt like the most car-centric capital I’ve ever visited in my life (haven’t been to US though). Fascinating comparison to be :)

Oooh, thanks, looks neat!

If only she new how Maria Skłodowska-Curie died, she wouldn’t be as happy for the resemblance…

This sounds really nice, though I see in article mostly mentioned “assigned amount of money”, and “items sent”. Nothing about actual industrial production within EU, which makes me feel a bit suspicious.

'Cause budget allocation is a fine topic, yet real value brought by that money allocation might differ to quite an extent 🤔

I very much enjoy the idea of vignettes that is quite popular in EU: every driver driving highway is obliged to buy a pass to drive the high-speed road (which are usually higher polluters than slow-speed ones). IMO that is the best solution there, especially because I hate it so much as a driver.

The price is not as high, yet when you are going for a long car-trip, you have to plan it in advance. At the same time, driving through 3-4 countries can easily add 50-60€ to the trip price in vignettes only, which is quite discouraging (taking into account that is half of price for the petrol for that long travel).

Gosh, that’s like about 50 kmph, that is really too quick for people that usually lack any protection. Person riding a bike even with helmet can get quite an injury if gets into an accident…

What a nice time to be a fan of strategy genre

Sad it works that way. Though, I clearly remember why it happens this way with me: each time I told “I forgot”, I was punished, so I became a perfect liar: I can come up with a realistic story in so short time nobody ever notices.

I will never understand, why designers love the grids so much these days. Sometimes I am literally blind for a game in collection, and end up searching for it using software keyboard on my Deck :/

I’d say they not just barely received a slap — they are continued to be praised for “contribution into country economy”.

Totally. The only kinda downside is that it has frozen root partition, so you have to work around if you want some console utilities. Not a problem for most people, though — mostly for folks that prefer console over GUI, like me.

The issue with “sovereign” clouds is that because they are managed by US company, US govt can make company to give data from that servers. If company is European, the space for enforcing is much smaller.

Me neither. The quality of roads is beyond excellent, and usually roads that are considered “worse” are still much better than those considered better right outside EU. And they are driveable by even low-clearance cars[1]! It makes even less sense for EVs, taking into account that added weight of an SUV increases cost and lowers the reach of a car.

I have only two assumptions, first one being: everyone got into belief that SUVs/crossovers have more space than sedans of same size. Which really is an illusion, and even sellers usually say, where the sizes match. In fact, a kombi car will have so much more space, compared to SUV, that it is really impossible to compare.

Another assumption is feeling like a Cool Guy®. Even today I saw a guy riding a BMW, which has bunch of “turbo power” stickers, while sitting alone in a crossover. It’s like Macs, which are very average laptops, but everyone wanted them, because of an Apple effect.

[1]: Here I mean cars with clearance about 10cm

I’d say that the best solution would be to switch from “sovereign” clouds to EU-based clouds. It will not just save EU countries from US spying on them. This supoprts the fact that there was recently an article, where M$ acknowledged they cannot guarantee they won’t give out the data even from “sovereign” clouds to US government. So, it is kind of obvious step :)

Well, the issue is that when you are being rewarded for the work you are doing, the motivation for why you are doing it changes: and the higher is the reward, the less you stay interested in doing things (with very rare exceptions). That was noticed during some researches [wanted to reference some, though can’t find links quickly], and it kind of makes a definition of “work” to work differently than “have a passion and you won’t work a day”.

That is a reason why we need this distinction: not all people need to be incentivised by money for literally everythign they do. Sometimes people need to do something just because they want to, over what they need to to get going with their lives.
