NOT AGAIN?! Alright ppl!!! Who are we invading this time?

Fair. However, as a title, it is essentially just a string of words that collectively act as a noun, or a name for the given face of the stone. Names being names can never be right or wrong. Hence, we all are wrong for trying to judge whether this string of words is right or wrong as it is semantically impossible for it to be right or wrong. By pointing this out, I am right and you are all wrong.

It isn't, because "nothing" isn't put in quotation marks like I or u have. Quotation marks indicate literality which would be required in this interpretation. So no, the absence of quotation marks makes this statement contradictory and hence, wrong.

Isn't it just wrong though? The statement contradicts itself which makes it wrong.

What security considerations are you mentioning? The only slight drawbacks that I see in the listed source are privacy ones. Those too can be mitigated by extensions. In my experience, Fdroid Fennec has been very stable and decently fast.

Fennec IS maintained and receives regular updates.

Please do not use any Chromium forks if you care about privacy and an open web. Cromite uses the Chromium engine, which is by Google.

"But Chromium is open source, so that means good, no?": Not always. Developing a browser is very hard and requires a lot of time and resources. Therefore, even when you can fork Chromium in theory, maintaining this separate fork becomes incredibly difficult. Google of course does not allow any privacy centric code to be pushed to the Chromium codebase. It in fact, does the opposite. Look at the ManifestV3 drama for instance. The solution to all of this is using Firefox mobile or forks of it.

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

Much better, as Cromite still uses the Chromium engine, which is again Google.

Don't fit :(

No need for HSR if ur place doesn't need the capacity provided by HSR. But yes, buses are definitely the best option in this case. Better infrastructure for buses would mean this:

  • More frequent buses
  • Higher quality buses and bus stops
  • Faster travel: Due to a combination of three factors:
    1. More frequent buses, better buses and bus stops would mean that more people take buses. This means more efficient use of space on roads. Which means less traffic. Which means faster buses.
    2. Better bus infrastructure could include changes to roads themselves, like bus lanes, separate roadways with right of way to buses and so on. This would make sure that buses intermingle with road traffic as less as possible. These solutions are most suitable to inner cities rather than highways connecting cities and towns of course. Regardless, this makes buses faster. This is often referred to as "BRTs", i.e., "Bus Rapid Transit". Functionally, this is the closest you get to a metro without building a metro.
    3. Better bus infrastructure would mean changes to stuff like traffic signalling, buses themselves and so on. Changes like traffic signals turning green when a bus approaches a crossing would mean that buses never have to stop at red lights, thus saving a lot of time. Also, changes to buses could include stuff like bike stands at the front and back, which can increase the effective range of buses BY A LOT.

Sooo yeah... Building and maintaining bus infrastructure is tremendously cheap in the grand scheme of things, especially when compared to private cars and the infrastructure required to sustain private cars.

Also, buses come in different sizes, meaning that no matter how small your town is, there can always be frequent bus service that is also efficient at the same time.

Hope they tipped the slaves for building such gorgeous infrastructure!
