Why would wheelchair bound people have to pay so much more to get car they can use, when they can pay the same price as everyone else for a ticket to ride with public transportation?
Also there are blind and other handicapped people that can easily ride public transport on their own, but would have to rely on others to ride with their own car.
Public transport is especially useful for the handicapped and elderly compared to personal cars.
Well, that could have been fixed by booting from an usb stick, chrooting into you real system and either downloading and (re)installing the python package this way, or, if your package manager depends on python, download the package in the Live Linux and extracting the python package into your system, and then reinstalling it, so the package management overwrites your "manual installation".
Could be tedious, but less so that having to reinstall everything IMO.
In most cases, where you havn't destroyed your filesystem, you can just boot another Linux from a USB stick, mount your filesystems to /mnt, chroot into it, and then investigate and fix there.
TBH, buying a cheap Chinese burner phone with no security relevant data on it just for traveling to the US, might be better security wise than buying an expensive Google Pixel Phone with GrapheneOS on it.
Especially now where Google, a US company and bound by its laws, that produces these devices, might (start) hand(ing) out backdoor keys to their hardware.
I suppose some of that comes down to the personal understanding of what "smart" is.
I guess you could call some person, that doesn't understand a topic, but still manages to sound reasonable when talking about it, and might even convince people that they actually have a deep understanding of that topic, "smart", in a kind of "smart imposter".
We are never recovering as a Nation from this. This kind of violation of the order of law in our nation will take a century to heal if not more. The United States as it was is gone, full stop.
Well, that is the goal. I think the goal is to create a (US/global) crisis, which allows the powerful (rich) to step in to reshape the society, to fit their agenda better.
I do not think that the Trump administration is simply incompetent, I think they are having a plan, and are executing it and what we see is part of it.
What makes implementation so difficult is that browsers cannot just "work", they need to be correct in what they do. And support all websites.
The standards of HTML, CSS and JS have developed over a long time, not only is the amount of stuff massive, over time sometimes strange features where implemented, that were then used by website developers, and now these all need to be handled correctly by all new browsers.
Emulating and reimplementing existing stuff is often more difficult, especially if you cannot leave out any feature, no matter how obscure, because that might break someone's website.
But as long as they are RISC V chips, then they would run the same software as any other RISC V chips.
Not necessarily, RISC-V is permissibly licensed, so they could add proprietary extensions, that would make the binaries or even compilers only work with their implementation of the RISC-V ISA.
Embrace, Extend, Extinguish tactics would work on RISC-V, and I trust billionaires and huge corporations to enshittify it.
Big player joins RISC-V, creates design, introduces proprietary extensions, builds compilers that use them, software depend on them, other RISC-V designers need to license them, because the whole platform now depends on them.
Also based on how complicate it is to port Linux to different SoCs, which at least share a common ISA, it will be much more difficult if you need to support even more RISC-V ISAs with different proprietary extensions, not only in the kernel, but in the toolchain as well.
AFAIK, UEFI isn't technically a requirement. However, TPM 2.0 is, and that requires UEFI.
TPM 2.0 does not require UEFI. I have a system here with TPM 2.0 and only legacy boot support. And you can just buy a TPM 2.0 module and connect it with any board, that has a SPI connector.
TBH, it is very difficult to me differentiating between the different flavors of authoritarians.
Maybe someone can make an easy to understand comparison matrix? You know, "Kills people because they have a different opinion.", "Suppresses minorities.", etc.
Well, taking meds everyday is a lifestyle change, possible even more so than going to the fitness studio couple of times per week, cleaning your rooms couple of times per month, or getting rid of your disgusting carpet. Just speaking from my own or my friends anecdotal evidence. From my experience doctors where sometimes a bit to quick to hook people up with meds. I don't want to critique science in general, just that I would wish that "we" get better advice, and don't need to do their own (bad) research.
But sure getting people to stop using drugs and narcotics is much more difficult then getting them on them.
Anyway, this was more of a comment on Dr. House, where the doctors had a lot of time on their hands to practice lock picking skills in order to break in peoples homes to figure out what is wrong with them.
Personally, what I would like more of doctors doing house visits. Even if it is just about seeing how people live, sleep, what they eat and if they exercise enough.
If you can find and fight the cause of sicknesses, you might not need to fight against the symptoms with meds for the whole life.
Sure there are sicknesses, where you have to take the meds, but sometimes lifestyle changes are effective as well.
That is pretty common when you hear conservatives talk. You often agree about the issues, but then you suddenly hear crazy conspiracy theories about why everything is the fault of immigrants, jews, trans people or whatever.
When conservatives talk about the rich and powerful being bad, its often about some "globalists", "George Soros", "World Economic Forum", "Liberals", ... than just the system being bad.
That is the reason why the leftist critique should always focus on the system, not specific people or groups.
When the debate revolved around Emacs vs. Vim, I used Spacemacs. It seem we moved on from that?
Is it now about VScode vs. (Neo)Vim?
Guess that means Vim won the Emacs vs. Vim debate then, when it got into the next round.
