ChimeraOS. If you have a non-steam gamerdeck, I recommend backing up the Windows 11 install and replacing it with this outright. It's based on the Steam Deck OS and makes the process of selecting a game much faster because Windows 11 is bloated as shit.

That doesn't change the fact that you're both not taking the real issue into account; the biggest, wealthiest shareholders are demanding a sustained 25% RoI. That is inherently unsustainable and by design. They want companies to die because monopolies are profitable and the market was booming (until they decided to milk everything dry) so there is money to be made IF you don't value human civilization.

I fucking hate the rich.

Neurodivergent, my ass. I literally have been diagnosed with Aspergers'/Autism Spectrum Disorder/whatever since I was 8, that was 25 years ago, and knew it had to be the "privacy" "partner" CEO that had data broker connections. This is either lack of knowledge (reddit was easy to use and then turned evil) or lack of brain cells, but to be fair... That grammar is implausibly awful, like someone was trying to punish Mozilla...

Yeah, this is hella sketchy. I don't plan on ever using Google's services again, but now I legit have to worry about all centralized websites in the US? I've been impressed with Biden at many points and screw Trump, but this is not a good look for the Biden Administration.

Am at an Edo's as I type this, can confirm it reminds me of stacked California Rolls. Can also confirm there is no real reason that the YouTube logo should remind me of sushi.

The main problem with electric is also distribution. 95% of all North American heavy rail lines are unelectrified.

I can see taking a risk on hydrogen trains might not pan out, just saying electric is something that draws from the electrical grid (which is at capacity in the Pacific, Texan and Atlantic grids) and there's no easy/single solution. If only for avoiding pirates by staying far from shore indefinitely, ships should at least have the option to be nuclear but require a US Navy-certified team at the port to inspect it and do needed maintenance/repairs before each time it sets sail.

As for nuclear trains, at the very least you have to admit that it's not as simple as "just transmit power along the rail line from LA to NY".

Okay, to be fair, I was assuming the nuclear trains would be doing cross-country freight hauls and never for passenger service.

Upvoted for the hydrogen, you're probably right about fuel cells being a better option.

Nuclear trains and cargo ships might actually be necessary, even. In North America and over oceans, getting the vehicle weights, the weights of cargo and the distances between cities to work under any reasonable system means not just DC but even AC are insufficient in transmission range on land (and of course useless in the middle of an ocean), and companies like Amazon and AliExpress account for a lot of direct climate-disrupting emissions and a good chunk of the wealth letting assholes like Bezos live like kings at everyone else's detriment.

Tell that in respect to (ha) Southern Ontario and Montreal to a British Columbian, Albertan, Saskatchewanian, Manitoban, Yukonite, any First Nations Canadian or any resident of Atlantic Canada or the Northwest Territory, and see if they think differently about Ontario-Quebec than most Americans think about the Republican party.

Oh, did you know 90% of Canadians are well-to-do or upper-middle class residents of Southern Ontario or Montreal who produce less than 10% of Canada's GDP and vote for anything that lets them continue to take advantage of the rest of the country? Yeah, our population density is horrifyingly low AND yet we have a profit-off-of-artificial-scarcity-induced housing shortage? Fuck you for supporting tyranny by majority, it's still possible for the majority to all be in with the rich pricks, whether the minority is 49% or <10%.

City planning and de-car-ification videos. This may be the c/OpenTTD mod account, but it's not solely because of the game; I'm just fascinated by transit and have realized car-centric infrastructure is almost always extremely inefficient.

Then it's likely cheaper to make a bluetooth headphones phone than include a 3.5mm jack? Or they could just be greedy, although I would hope FairPhone won't turn to the dark side so soon.

Excuse me, this is meant to be an admin account for c/OpenTTD@lemmy.zip so I'll have to return to whence I came.
