Well, let’s put it differently. Cars are not just about going from A to B. Most use people get out of them is storing stuff and moving it without effort, safely. Public transport doesn’t offer that. “Fucking” here stands more for a bunch of stuff that people do otherwise in cars that requires some privacy you don’t get on trains.

The point is, trains are the minimum tolerable environment for most people, and already not tolerable for others

I hope OP’s mom leaves a secret upper decker in their house next time she visits

Well, do they give the answer in the article? Kananaskis?

may I introduce you to ubuntu pro spamming your apt-get these days? You’re welcome

Don’t they mean allerjen information?

Meh, I’m not in for comfortable as in “I have two seats for myself”. More like: It’s fucking awesome to drive by bus, because you can sleep (horizontally!), have a meal together, work/have a video call, have sex, store your gym bag, whatever you may come up with. Luxury for the masses at a higher quality than you can do all these things in cars at the moment. That is what I want to see, not the sad future where we all just sit on regular buses like we do now. I think we need to demand higher standards.

Japan is experimenting with some of those things much more than European countries. The “luxury” type night buses are quite comfortable if you’re not over 1,80m and thus exceptionally tall. Switzerland has panorama trains to enjoy the alps while having a snack with your friends (even if you’re 80+ and can’t hike anymore).

That, not the village bus that comes once a day, is full of vomit, girls get harrassed and all the other shit

Same dynamic as “well, the streets are too full, let’s build more streets!” which has worked great over the past century to fight traffic jams!

I agree we need fewer cars and more pubic transport, but these comparisons always assume maximum efficiency in bus use and minimum efficiency in car use. What if we only have 3 people on the bus? Maybe people prefer cars to an extent because they are not all crammed up? We need to make buses/trains enjoyable to use for those people who are now using cars (not me, who is already on the train anyway)

Once you discover you can just install the nix package manager with one command and then install everything with another, snap is out of the game. Even if you just use nix for like 2 packages, it’s already much better

I think a huge human torso on top of a giraffe could also look funny enough

Why not scale up the size of the human so it fits with both solutions?

Isn’t a pegasus a bird? Would that mean that they lay eggs?

Here are some of the tools, with input from the GPT (90% was not funny, these might be but I don’t speak Dutch).

Package management:

bami -opdienen <pakket> # Install a package

bami -opeten <pakket> # Uninstall a package

bami -doorroeren # Update all installed packages

bami -keuken <pakket> # List available packages

bami -smaaktest # Check the details of a package

bami -restanten # Clean up orphaned or unused packages

Process management:

vla -aanzet # Start a new process

vla -proeven # Check the status of a process

I usually fly in to buy it locally. Important these days to know your farmers

That is a romantic way to say it

Does it do swipe and how well? Github says a blob library is needed for that. Can’t be bothered with typing individual letters anymore on mobile

Depends on where you live. In Japan, most of the time it’s either way too hot to hang out on the balcony or way too cold. In Europe it’s fine in many places for most of the year.

Some of it also has to do with rent prices which can be higher if you have a balcony.

Also, and again in Japan: There is an emergency balcony exit in some apartment buildings in case a natural disaster hits. It’s probably easier to climb your way down a bunch of balconies with holes in the ground than a blank wall

We can argue as much as we want about whether moore’s law covers technological development in general or be pedantic like good old fundamental Christians and only read what the words say.

The bigger problem is that we have reached the era of what we could tentatively call “wal s’eroom”. Thanks to enshittification (another one of those slippery words!) I predict that technological progress reverses from now on by 50% every 2 years.

Please take context into account. Please.

(this is a lil’ lemmy thread and I think everyone understands what OP had in mind)

Ubuntu’s role in the ecosystem is important. They are good at first luring people into using linux. Then the users get pissed off of Ubuntu, because of Snap, ads, or whatever random crap they know from Windows. Finally, they move on to better options, be it Arch, Debian, or Puppy. Ubuntu ensures they don’t all stick to the same
