Someone versed in urban ecosystems could chime in better, because there’s gotta be proper terms for city to city transport, city to neighborhood, neighborhood to street, street to home.

Bikes or some kind of personal vehicle are still probably necessary to get you from city to home, because they can’t put train stations next to every house (unless they figure out how to shoot us through tubes or something).

They also have e-scooters now that can do like 80 mph / 130 km/h .

This wiki page on Efficiency of transport is really well done. But if you sort by km / MJ, e-scooters and bikes are the most efficient forms of transport.

Nice, had no idea these existed.

Truck / SUV drivers like : “What pedestrians???”

“Just walk away and we will spare your lives. Just walk away”

lol. I’d take a browser that’s 10x slower as long as it has no AI or crypto.

It’s right below turkmenistan, in the link.

It’s crazy how many times obama pushed the kill button.

A lot of communists like W.E.B. Dubois dedicated a good amount of research to the 2nd phase of reconstruction after the US civil war, often called the counter-revolutionary phase, where a lot of the gains of the civil war were lost.

Their belief is that slavery was allowed to be reinstituted in a limited form in the south (mainly in prisons), black leaders removed from their posts and replaced by confederates, white terrorist orgs like the KKK reformed and turned a blind eye to, and the harsh enforcement of miscegenation laws (many of which only got repealed in the 1960s).

That campaign of terror is what drove black mass migration out of the south and into the US west coast, and north throughout the 20th century.

Obviously the US hasn’t really changed that policy, and still lets the south have slavery in limited forms.

The books black reconstruction, and michelle alexander’s the new jim crow are great ones abt this.

Yes, look up what per capita means.

Haha we need one.

Here take some of these, I still have some left.

Loop and Habits are my favs.

Same. For anyone using fish shell, this plugin is super-handy: https://github.com/PatrickF1/fzf.fish

Yep, slavery was largely re-instituted (in a less dominant form) during the reconstruction era.

The US still has a significant portion of its economy based on slave-labor, including at least 54 state-run prison farms, and US-state-run companies like Federal Prison Industries which operates a multi-billion dollar industry with ~ 52 prison factories, where prisoners produce furniture, clothing, circuit boards, products for the military, computer aided design services, call center support for private companies. 1, 2, 3

The US also has the highest incarceration rates in the world, with states like Louisiana basically being slave states. Most individual US states outrank all other countries.

Its fairly difficult to find “up-to-date” performance / RAM comparisons of Linux Desktop environments, but here’s a decent one from 2019 comparing memory usage of different Ubuntu flavors.

The most surprising thing is that despite KDE Plasma’s reputation as being more ram-hungry, it actually used less ram than XFCE, meaning its developers have been making performance a focus.

The web dying (i mean web browsers, html, javascript, etc) wouldn’t be such a bad thing imo.

Look at what’s happened to nearly every static content site in the past few years, they’ve become nearly unusable.

News companies can try to convince ppl to use their apps, but everyone else will continue to use social media apps to get most of their news like they already do anyway. Ppl wanting static content can use the minimal protocols like gemini, gopher, or even a simple markdown web browser, which are already better than most news sites.
