OK, it's 2pm. With this system, you call a pod and ride it. With a rural train, you check the schedule and see that the next train is at 5pm. And you have to plan your trip back as well. Great, time to take your car.
And you might say "let's have trains run at least once per hour then". That means running empty trains all day, not sure it's the best way to spend public money.
Trains suck if you don't have frequency, and because of the population density with a good frequency more than half of the trains will be completely empty and the rest almost empty.
It's from Valve, they'll make sure it works on the Steam Deck.
Yes, autocorrect messed it up
Oh it's the continuation of XMMS, I have found memory of using that!
Especially considering that Slashdot stopped being relevant, maybe... 20 years ago?
Simply be mindful of our energy usage, and not just rely on decarbonization. We need both because decarbonization will not happen overnight.
Historically, worldwide our production of renewable have kept growing, the percentage have been growing, but fossil fuels usage have also kept growing.
Now we get a new technology that is using even more energy, maybe we should work on energy efficiency and use that tech sparingly instead of building more data centers so incels can get their voice chat AI girlfriend, and say "we'll just install more solar panels and windmills".
I know it would be great if we could install Linux on any hardware, but unfortunately we're not there yet.
So you can either buy a laptop with Linux preinstalled, from a manufacturer who will support it, or do some research before hand.
And Nvidia doesn't have a monopoly on laptops, you can buy an AMD gaming laptop
I mean, by now everyone should know not to buy Nvidia hardware if you want to run Linux on it.
It's been more than 10 years since Linus' finger to Nvidia.
I agree that the article is a bit confusing, but we can't keep increasing energy consumption and hope decarbonization will fix it.
From an environmental point of view energy is never free. Also as long as we still use fossil fuels, any new usage of renewable (e.g. run AI on solar panels) is energy that could have been use to replace fossil usage.
Reading the article, it's not the content that caused the ban but sharing it to too many people (her beta readers) she was seen as a spammer.
Obviously if the pods take 2h to arrive it's not worth it
