...disappeared...

I wonder where they went...

Recently went to India. Pretty far along the energy transition in some ways. E-Autos (tuk-tuks) were semi-common, as were electric buses and cars, and ebikes and e-scooters too. Some places also had e-rickshaws. India is honestly like 90% of the way to being completely Solarpunk.

That's ok they'll just immigrate to colder places.

Intel has had open source drivers for quite a while, they just get upstreamed slowly.

My apologies. I saw Rosling mentioned in the article and misremembered the site. Serves me right for writing the comment distracted and without doing my DD.

Some context here: she works for Our World in Data, which is Hans Rosling's organisation (edit: I'm wrong, see below). While I don't have a problem with Rosling, he's ideologically aligned with Pinker and liberalism in general. There are good critiques of both, namely that they think no problems require systemic solutions, and their supposed empiricism comes with some serious holes.

The funniest example of this is JK Rowling "solving" slavery in Harry Potter by... declaring that slaves just like being slaves. IIRC unlearning economics has a good video on Pinkerism.

Or abcde for command line.

80% of everything sucks. It'll keep on sucking after anarchy. The only difference is the drive to do the sucky work comes from within, so "I hate Mondays" becomes more of an adulting exasperation.

No one has said this one yet:

I play a mix and generally want to create a distance between me and the character. I'm not thinking "what would I do?" I'm thinking "what would this person do?"

Having said that, if I pick a girl I won't pick a heterosexual romance option. Romance in games is strange.

There's also Diablo with Devilution.

Almost like we should have a national provider.

Lol this is very similar to my setup. I also have an xmpp server (ejabberd), grocy, and fresh rss on digitalocean.
