Android is running a Linux kernel, yes.

iOS is not, it's running apples version of BSD. Sort of related to Linux, which is where OPs misunderstanding probably comes from, but definitely not Linux.

Learn Austrian German instead, all you need is the dialect version of Alter: Oida

Emoji are part of unicode. And people demand more of them, so it's no surprise they put effort into those, even if OP thinks they are not important.Few people appreciate the unicode consortium for their originally intended work.

Because the main use case for most people - browsing the internet - sucks on e-ink. Scrolling is horrible.

I feel you. When I go to Hungary, my brain breaks. In most surrounding countries, I can sort of guess common words. "Exit" is more or less the same word (vychod) in all nearby Slavic languages for example. And then there's Hungarian where it's probably szönözökémül or something.

Sounds like the relationship between German and Dutch. To me as an Austrian, Dutch sounds like a drunk northern German speaking half English.

Pleeease just use zip. Different compression algorithms just lead to headaches and honestly who cares which is better, use the standard. Everyone can open zip files. Don't send your stuff as a .rar, .7z or .tar.gz.

I wish I had an opportunity to pull off one of those shirts. Let's bring back ruffles, fellas.

About a hundred probably. Almost exclusively porn. I'm fine with porn, but I want to use All without scrolling past 10 pairs of tits to see one normal post.

And a handful of just annoying communities. The ones reposting Reddit content, US politics, crypto stuff, that sort of thing.

No JavaScript or ads. (...) Prevents Wikipedia getting your IP address.

Wikipedia is light on JavaScript and has never had ads. You prevent Wikipedia from getting your IP address but instead reveal it to some random third party, combined with letting them know everything you look up.

What the hell is the point of this. All this does it confuse people and decrease privacy.

I was going to make a joke about how Austria is landlocked, how did we come up with the idea of making an ocean water standard.

Apparently the IAEA which is headquartered here set that standard, for anyone else curious.

Once you set it up it's fine, but on first opening you have to click through a bunch of menus (no, I don't want to share data, no I don't want to sync my account, and so on). In other browsers it's a small popup in the corner which you can ignore, and just google what you wanted to google. In edge they're fullscreen and you have to click no on each one.

Probably a rather unique problem because I regularly set up new machines, most people just go through it once and never see it again.

Being really stupid is a requirement for being a Neo-Nazi. Stupidity is not an excuse.

What lights do you use?

We need a badwomensanatomy community for that title.

All that would do is increase handling effort and make shipping more expensive, with no benefit for companies except maybe greenwashing PR.

Let's try a real world example. From the outskirts of the city where the already mainline railway connected tram shed would be, into the city center. It's about a 45 minute tram trip, for which you'd have to load and unload the cargo on each end.

So, you unload the cargo from the train which takes time, store it in a warehouse. Later load it into the tram, should take about the same time as loading a truck. So far, so good.
But instead of just delivering the cargo to your customer directly, you drive it to another more central warehouse using the tram.
You unload the cargo again, and once again have to store it in a very expensive warehouse in the city center., until you can distribute it to cargo bikes. Which once again means handling the cargo.
Only then can you deliver your goods at the customer.

So instead of unloading / storing / loading / delivering at the customer, you've added another loading/unloading step, and another warehouse to rent in a more expensive area. Loading and unloading and warehouses are already is essentially the most expensive part of shipping anything - the transport on a train or truck itself is not that expensive.

There are specialized cases where cargo trams can work, but they are rare, and they do not involve delivering goods directly to stores, and do not involve expensive facilities in city centers.
In Dresden for example, VW used cargo trams the same way they would use mainline cargo trains - transporting car parts from one factory to another. That made sense, because both ends of the line already had cargo handling and warehouse facilities in inexpensive parts of the town, and only one loading/unloading cycle was needed. They needed no expensive inner city facilities and no further distribution.

But at that point, it doesn't really replace trucks, it just removes the need to connect your factory to the mainline rail network.

Viennas government always was very proud of their public transport department, it's one of their poster childs for showing off. I can guarantee you, if they could have made it work, they would.

Delivery cars are allowed in all car-free zones I'm aware of. And that's just fine. I know what community we are in, but those simply are necessary.

Many cities tried cargo trams, and one would assume that the complete absence of them nowadays is for a good reason. Manual loading and unloading alone seems a complete nightmare. It's not worth the hassle.

I simply wouldn't take a job with a one hour per way commute. Takes me 15-20 minutes max, and one less work day a week sounds sweet.
