So to be clear, you're functionally illiterate?

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...

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.

Yes, they all treat drivers like garbage, and pay them like trash.

I'd like one, but I just dropped about $4500 on the new Widelux X swing lens 35mm camera that Jeff Bridges and co just released for pre-production this week.

I generally buy myself 1 or 2 nice toys a year and well, this took up one slot.

The rich assholes who make the decisions deciding the roads don't need to be maintained is a problem. It's tempting to believe that they will want to maintain the system over which they have privilege, but they have shown time and again they have no interest in doing that.

Buses perturb traffic, they can't bypass without their own special lanes which are wasteful and expensive, they do massive amounts of pavement damage compared to enough vans to transport the same number of passengers, they can't fit into many neighborhoods and if they could the streets wouldn't be rated to carry their weight. They are used despite these massive drawbacks only for the exact reason which I described previously.

Yeah, no shit. That's where we should be spending our money, making a better future, not on genocides and quests for oil.

Try building a highway in California today.

Buses are shit. We use them literally only because they allow one expensive driver to convey many people by road. Everything else about them is terrible.

Now price in the cost of highway and freeway expansion to cover the additional traffic, the cost of ecological remediation, etc etc
