Honestly, as a society we should be able to guarantee most if not all of those. Every single one of them is an economic trade-off and when you put for profit companies in the loop, it’s obvious that they will prioritize their profits. The s

Sure. The nightmare is that every single time you open the browser on a website you have to go through the data tracking preference for that website. It's a lot of work to avoid being tracked (companies are obviously using dark pattern

The PC gaming market is 99% Windows. Ofc Indies and mid sized studios ignore Linux and Mac. You have to convince customers to use Linux first. Chicken/Egg problem. You can't expect Indies to solve it. If anything, all the proton&#

Just been in Europe last week (I live in US): you have no idea what a nightmare internet is in Europe. You are only seeing a side effect here.

It’s just text interface like running a program on a terminal, just the program runs on the remote computer. Much like a telnet session, with some primitives to transfer files.

In Italy you can wait (lenght depends on the seriousness of your problem) and pay nothing, or you go to the very same public hospital, pay and do it right away. Oh, it costs 200-400eu. About 1/10th and what its asked for here in CA. He

I think you forget we used to pay the RIAA every time we purchased a writable CD medium, just in case we might use it to store copyrighted material. Yes, the legal system we have in place is mostly about bullying and you have every reason t

I always wondered why the A/C units installed in the US do not make heat as well. In europe I have seen a push for this kind of units for at least 20 years now, to the point that I don't think anyone has bought anything else for t

I'll add on to that idea. What if that is considered a basic human right. One line in a database with your name and a number. And governments, the most powerful entities on earth offer it for free. Doesn't seem very expensive to o

I feel like every field where science is lagging behind has this problem. Is this not the case? It seems to me that we know very little about how the body works, processes food, etc. Saying "Sports science" feels very different to

No, it's a good point and I'd like to know as well. Ofc being biodegradable means it will sooner find it's way into some photosynthesis and recapture that carbon.

Jaywalking is illegal. It doesn't have to be the same illegal thing they want you out for. They're just giving them more options.

Meta does not want to understand. People are not happy that their data is Meta's business and that, as a result, Meta keeps socially engineering them to milk more of their time. People are not even mad about ads, they are mad at the wa

I think the point is that the leaks are only hunted and fixed if it is economically beneficial and not environmental beneficial. This is something that the consumer has no direct control over. Leaks are not required to provide me gas. It&#

Yes, I forgot about my past life when I sold my car because I didn't have a parking spot available at home. Hopefully the industrial revolution lifestyle will slowly fade over time :)

In a usual commute scenario being able to charge you car like your phone saves you the trip and the time to refuel every week (if you add the time to actually get to a gas station is way more than 5-10m). This is why I will switch to EV at

I agree with you and in general the move from owning software to accessing a service has been detrimental for the end user (more costs, more problems, less control). But the restriction here is most likely just the inability to share (I wou
