I don't want to get it from Apple, I want it to be open source and standards based, but it's still the kind of thing I want. But I definitely don't want it to be this heavy or bulky, either. To have the gall to charge that much for such a goofy thing is bananas.
I install a lot of stuff from backports, but I've also had bad times doing that with important packages, so I'm not in a rush to do it for big complex things in particular.
Counterpoint: buses do not perturb traffic. Buses remove large numbers of cars from the road
The latter part of course depends on how they are used, but the former part is true unless you are talking about BRT, which is stupid because you could have used rail instead and not had to deal with pneumatic tires.
they were a bunch of drinkypoos, suburbanites who have literally no experience of buses
I know buses are a shitty way to do public transportation because I depended on them for years and years. Your assumptions are stupid.
So you object to dedicated rights of way or not.
I object to them when they are stupid. The world is complicated and you're trying to make me look stupid by pretending it's simple. That's fucking stupid.
Oh come now we both know you haven't been on a BRT in the UK.
I see you've not heard of video. Weird!
A good bus will home around 90 passengers, so 6x as many as vans, and approximately in a sixth of the road usage.
So what? The buses aren't the vehicles that make up the bulk of the road usage, it's the swarms of cars. The difference in road usage between vans and a bus which carries the same number of passengers is negligible. But the bus puts more wear on the pavement than hundreds of vans.
an internet rando
You are also a rando. You've deprecated your own opinion there.
who doesn't take the bus anywhere
I took the bus for years, that's how I know they suck.
Not just that, but it was true. We need more rail (which we had before the cars) and fewer cars (which a literal conspiracy attacked the rail to profit from.) Add a rail line, you have a ton of additional capacity on the same line. Add a highway, you need to expand it practically before you're done building it. And in this country, you need to expand it literally before you're done with the expansion, since we seem to be so shit at road work. Watching Japanese roadworks videos almost makes me weep.
We both know that there isn't some fat cat with a cigar, laughing as he cancels road maintenance plans
No, troll. There's an entire class of fat cats, who ensure that justice is not done and funding is misappropriated. Save your clown shit for home week.
they can't bypass without their own special lanes
Um so? That's like trains which are also very good.
No, it's like trains which are actually good.
buses make better use of space
We've seen what utilization looks like on the BRT lanes in the UK... very low.
You have no conception of what a large, high capacity bus network looks like. If you did you would not keep spewing the crap about vans. They are simply too small and too inefficient is road space compared to buses.
This is, of course, bullshit. There are vans which hold 14 passengers. You could also use minibuses, which have the same benefit... but frankly they are just prettier vans.
Who do you think is deciding roads don't need to be maintained?
So to be clear, you're functionally illiterate?
And this is someone who had the patience to run Slackware 3.9 as a primary desktop
Yeah, but those two things are diametrically opposed. Slackware 2 was my first Linux. It didn't do anything stupid.
MacOS was made for him. The classic kind, with one button.
I used to use flatpak, but then it just spontaneously stopped allowing updates one day so I removed it rather than fight with it trying to fix it...
One of the things I like about Linux is that it's common to follow a philosophy of "start with nothing then add what you need" rather than "throw in everything and good luck trying to remove anything problematic".
So that's why you refused to use Ubuntu already, because of Unity and Snap, right?
What relevance does that have to the experience of running Debian, which is what we're actually talking about?
Lightweight solar panels are flexible ones, and they are trash. No solar panels are especially heavy, though, on the scale of heavy trucks.
In my town there are two trucking companies with 10 to 15 trucks that seemingly are advertising for drivers all the time
Yes, they all treat drivers like garbage, and pay them like trash.
The absent ones are always at fault.
