You are assuming I live in the US. i am not, I am in Italy and this comment thread was about European infrastructures

Not much can be done if what most people can afford is a 15+ years old used car.

Also what I've seen from dedicated bus lanes in my city is them just being used by cars and bikes as overtake lane or as a sidewalk extention from pedestrians. Also trains need to be much more than once an hour or worse.

Maybe, but I deciped OP as the chad and you as the soy in my mind so your argument is invalid

Good for you

Thanks for showing me where I live there is a singular small gas station within multiple kilometers with a couple EV charging stations 😂 I only find many if I go to a bigger city. In fact I do see them when I go to the city, and always empty.

E-charging is even more expensive then petrol here, so even hybrids that can charge people that own then never do so as going with just petrol is so much cheaper for how it lasts on the road.

Desperately hanging on old things is what has been done in my country, Italy, for decades. Most of the population is conservative.

Not that our money even allow moving on. Most cars I see on the road are 15+ years old.

Pickup trucks are rare in Europe

We are being devastated by the higher gas prices. People don't have the money nor the infrastructure is given to move to EV. Even if one does have money for EV, charging stations are extremely rare and you WILL find yourself stranded if you attempt any long drive unless you have a "old" combustion engine car or an hybrid both affected by the higher prices.

You don't want higher prices on gas with 0 attempt to actually make EV viable, trust me.

To allow modern windows to run legacy applications a lot of caution is given to updating libraries or fully new ones are given while keeping the older ones. Also static builds are more common on Windows, or come bundled with a copy of the required libraries as .dll files.

• Let's say an application requires libexample1. It works, the library is available too.
• Eventually the application gets abandoned, but still works.
• But eventually a libexample2 gets released that drastically changes how the library works. The program doesn't work on this version. The older release of the library then get's abandoned.
• Distributions now start removing the package from the repositories as the older library is slowly requiring no longer supported releases of its own dependency.
• Now application is borked

Aplication could have still worked if it came bundled with its own copy of libexample1 and of its dependencies, or was statically linked.

An example of this is Nero, a software kit for managing CD/DVD disc media. They made a build of some of their tools for Linux, meant to run on Debian 7. This builds were an experiment and got abandoned because of the very few users it had. Yet, these tools still work perfectly fine on Debian 12 despite being based on ancient libraries because it bundles all its requirements as a copy in its own proprietary blob.

I talked about caution on updating libraries on Windows. You can find many deprecated methods in any native Windows library that will likely never be removed from the library binaries, as many applications require it. The new, better and more feature rich method is given a different name instead, and is pointed out in the documentation for the older method.

Projects like FUSE are very nice for this, where an AppImave bundle of prebuilt binaries is given and can potencially not only be ran everywhere that can run FUSE but also in the future too.

The problem with that is that is hard to experiment with too

Test devices get banned constantly, and the companies behind those systems really don't like other companies trying to poke around it

You got no idea how much some people have been malding over this over Reddit

r/pcmasterrace on reddit is absolutely coping right now and members are attacking Linux users on sight

On the Chinese only servers they forbsure don't allow it

Shows how useless those "image poisoning" services some artists boast about really are

You might have to due to licensing, if the technology is patented. I don't know about this

There is no money being made here? This is foss software

Anything we don't find cool and want to lightly demonize, pretty much

I cannot take this guy seriously when in my language his surname means "bad breath"

Where I live they always call because we don't have mail boxes, so they have to give the parcel personally and they call to see if you are home. If you aren't they don't ship it to you that day.

I got banned from Aliexpress for refusing to provide a phone number to a web page fully in chinese, and they didn't specify why I needed to despite them claiming a phone number isn't necessary to order
