  • The title is written weirdly, I’ll reword it longer.

    Uzbekistan has several hundred miles of high speed rail, the US has less than a hundred. Even with the new projects being built in the US that will more than quintuple the amount of high speed rail, the US will still have less than Uzbekistan. The US lines are very different speeds, 125, 150, (200), (220), while the Uzbekistan lines are the same speeds 160, (160). The lines in parentheses aren’t built yet.

  • two apps? where do you work that you only have two apps open? just on my home pc right now I have 21 programs open, of course that includes things that autostartup, but those things take time to startup. stuff like dropbox can take several minutes until it stops thrashing your cpu. On my work computer I have even more. Just in basic programs to do my job that's at minimum 8 programs. That doesn't include auto startup apps, or other apps I use. That's just basics required by my job. Several of them are IDEs which take several minutes to start, and then when they do start you have to open up the project, indexing happens. All told, the computer can start in 20 seconds, but getting to a working desktop state is about 10 minutes.

  • this meme is really true for windows, sometimes my pc wakes up the second I put it to sleep. seems to be some random app I have open allowing it to wake up again. infuriating. With intel macs, they wasted a lot of battery asleep, but my silicon mac can sleep for weeks without losing hardly any battery. linux I still can't get sound to work properly.

  • The fcc has no authority over YouTube TV since it’s not broadcast. Doesn’t really matter what the FCC wants until Congress explicitly adds the power for them to control non-broadcast media. And oh boy will that not be good.

  • If you care about utmost privacy, you probably want to use Kagi, then generate privacy tokens and move them to a different computer and search from there. It’s pretty much guaranteed privacy. https://help.kagi.com/kagi/privacy/privacy-pass.html

    Kagi is also just the best search engine around at this point, at least that I’ve found. Worth paying for privacy in my opinion.

  • So I’ve searched and searched and my wife and I watched a lot of YouTube timelapses and we couldn’t find one that grew that fast. Not saying it isn’t the max, but it’s probably very abnormal

  • Here’s the thing I’ve discovered over the past two months. You can block every keyword you can think of involving politics and you will still be subject to them in memes that don’t happen to mention the keywords, comments where the blocking isn’t effective, and friends and spouses mentioning them, if not more. Politics pop up in every context. Video game YouTube, programming subjects on hacker news, pretty much every single subject at this point in time is inundated with politics.

    For a long time I was the most informed person in my social circle. I can’t deal with it anymore. I blocked every mention I could think of and yet I still think I’m just as informed as everyone else in my circle, at least to a certain extent.

    You can’t avoid it. So block everything and you’ll still be informed.

  • My lord, you’re the one who misunderstands licenses. And all internet browsers are “locally run” that’s literally what makes them browsers. They browse non-local resources.

    Just for one major example, literally chrome has a ToS.

    You’re the one arguing in bad faith. Holy shit you’re spreading so much misinformation it’s astounding.
