I think you’re underestimating how many people want to work for the government for the perceived benefits. I’m saying they have the stuff already set up, in fantasyland it would be a fairly smooth transition.

If we’re talking total fantasyland, I suppose put those employees to work building a government backed alternative or an open platform to allow smaller companies?

Suppose you had a centralized federated system where states or municipalities or even companies could have their own drivers but it’s a common app?

Edit to add you could also have both driver and passenger rate each other and allow both to filter by rating, lower ratings would naturally pay more or less to compensate for the service. I bet in cities you’d have luxury versions of the same services all from the same app, but also cheap shitty services too.

Looks like a dope little device but at that price I think I might be more interested in a Steam Deck.

Anti-competition is anti-consumer.

This would be a welcome development, I feel like social media is something you use tech to do, but it’s very rarely an interesting conversation about the tech itself.

Like how a grocery store has food but you wouldn’t call it a restaurant.

I just lost a raid 0 array for what seems like no reason, all I even had to do was reformat and both drives are working again. It’s fortunate I only use them for my steam library.

That being said I have an Ubuntu machine that’s been running 4 drives in RAID 5 for like 5 years so… Your mileage may vary?

Btrfs would beg to differ.

With all due respect you’re ignoring the fact that we’re doing immeasurabley more damage now by refusing to accept nuclear as our baseline source of electricity. You cannot run today’s society without a predictable and reliable source such as nuclear, geothermal, hydro or ff.

The fact is that we SHOULD have been using the tech available to us the entire time to avoid ruining the ecosystem in the ways that we have been. We should be using geothermal and hydro where applicable but that’s not going to work for every scenario, for all other scenarios we would be better off with non-privately owned nuclear power until the day comes when we can store enough renewable energy that nuclear is no longer necessary.

You cannot run a society solely on renewables. You can run a society with zero emissions.

I don’t even like dogs… But that’s a GOOD boy.

As much fun as setting up a torrent box is, being an argumentative asshole is even better.
