Say the average bus is 10 tons empty and the average car is 2. The fourth power law states that the bus is 625x as much wear on the roads.
It’ll reduce traffic jams, as well as empower people who can’t, or can barely, afford the fare, but road maintenance? Not so sure.
What would help more with the road network maintenance is taxing heavy vehicles. Commercial vehicles could get a bigger threshold and personal vehicles a smaller one.
The CIA knew it was bullshit but Cheney wanted there to be WMDs so chose to believe bullshit artists instead, if John Kiriakou is to be believed. One of the only times in history where CIA might have been the good guys.
There’s a podcast by two stand up comedians here in Estonia (well, WAS a podcast, now that Ari Matti is in the US and gathering international fame - no new episodes in months) where one of the very first episodes discussed this: Having a common enemy brings people together more than anything else they have in common.
“Oh we both went to the same school? Yeah, cool…”
“Wait, you ALSO hate that person? Of course you do, how could you not, they’re terrible… Have you noticed how they speak? It’s so weird…”
I’ve yet to decide if I’ll use the same name or create a new identity entirely. But my addiction won’t let me just have nothing to scroll. I’m on lemmy because it’s less horrible than reddit or toktik.
I feel like Android and Linux (being that it’s what Android itself is based on) do the whole “everything is an app” much better than, say, Windows. On Windows, generally speaking, your entire desktop experience is built-in and so tightly coupled that it’s hard to switch it out. On Linux, you don’t NEED a GUI at all, but if you want one, you’ll have a display server, a window manager, etc. On Android, at least without the desktop mode, the base GUI is the launcher, which is just an app.
System apps that require root access are still apps. Of course the kernel isn’t really an app and I don’t think Google Play Services fits most people’s definitions of an app. System libraries aren’t apps. So those are the parts that you could consider true “OS updates” as opposed to “app updates”, but since the “apps” part of the system (if you include system apps) is so much more visible to the user, an OS update will seem like it’s mostly a bunch of app updates.
Round Iron Man 2 coming out and his cameo, I kinda felt that way too. Some 2-4 years later that feeling was entirely gone.
Yeah I actually liked the whole Vista/7 era Windows looks. Didn’t like anything else about Vista but that wasn’t Windows Aero’s fault.
It’s a washer but it’s also AI generated most likely. But also not too uncommon in tiny apartments.
Isn’t that what Whatsapp and Telegram are already used for?
Gen whatever slang often borrows from AAVE though.
I mean yeah, you’re right about the desktop mode, but 90% of new user facing features are going to be in one app or another generally.
Technically the desktop mode itself might also be an app, though a window manager or desktop environment isn’t something we conventionally think of as an app.
No idea when I’ll get to touch a new enough Android to play with it. My old Oneplus is on shaky custom rom support and my daily driver is an iPhone (which will likely get much longer software support and is newer to begin with)
Oh if it’s him personally, I’m not interested. I was hoping there would be a selection.
Everything in Android is an app tbh, even the launcher is a completely normal app.
Man it’s porn, not guns. Children should not be near it!
Oh wait this is France
Anyway, I agree with you. We’re talking about regular ol garden variety porn. Everyone will probably see it at some point. Parents can limit what their kids see until the kids become smart enough to bypass filters. At which point they can probably handle seeing pennis n vagene.
Good ol’ Anja und Katja definitely helped me out in my teenage years.
And if one gets a hole in it, you don’t have to throw out an entire pair, just the one sock. It’s what I do
I most certainly want to go to the previous establishment
I like summer. Not when it’s high heat and humidity, but I do like it being light outside after 3:30 PM.
