It's going to depend on where you are, but there's usually some form of transit here in Sweden in all but the most rural places. Outside of cities, there's a decent chance you'll get a car anyway because the transit is not of high enough quality, unfortunate as it may be.
That being said, where I live in Stockholm, transit takes me everywhere I want to go, including longer distances to visit my family that lives far from Stockholm in the form of decently high speed trains. My bicycle is also a great way to get around the city.
I'm very pleased with not having to own a car, it saves me a lot of money and effort, and my transport time is spent more productively - when biking, I get exercise while listening to podcasts, and on transit I can use my phone freely to do whatever I want. It's also generally a less frustrating way to get around, not having to be stuck in traffic or spend time, effort and money to park. It's also basically at no loss of time compared to driving for the majority of my trips. All this on top of being a better option from an environmental standpoint. I'm very happy!
What level of Early Access would you call this? On a scale of "dev needs more money before the proper launch" to "basically done already and early access as a form of marketing".
It's pronounced more like "sloot". To get the same sounding word as the English "slut" the closest thing would be "slatt" in Swedish, which approximately means the remainder of something - the last drops of a drink can be referred to as a "slatt"
Fart also means Speed, for what it's worth.
I think it might have to do with the broad anti-AI sentiment that seems to be present here at Lemmy.
I don't disagree, but for obvious reasons, we can't access Google from a decade ago, since they've made it unavailable.
I'm not really describing an ideal state, this is a mere matter of practicality.
I've started relying more on AI-powered tools like Perplexity for many of my search use-cases for this very fact - all results basically warrant a pre-filtering to be useful.
30 minutes by bike or transit, but it's about to be a lot shorter due to an upcoming move.
I can work fully from home if I so wish, but I choose to go into the office as the perks are great and I like seeing people.
While commuting by bike, I listen to a lot of podcasts. While on transit I usually do a lot of Duolingo.
Yeah, they don't care that senior talent left because that was the whole point.
