That's been the whole point of the focus on identity politics.

• Pros: Cheaper to install as you don't have to rip up the whole road, capable of cornering at around 15kph. Low initial cost.
• Cons: Battery powered, with a 70km range, with a max capacity of 60 people. Driven by humans.

This does not sound like something anyone needs and it appears to be designed to share the road with private vehicles (hence the focus on speed and cornering) which means it will get stuck in traffic.

When you're paying humans to drive something, the benefit comes not in how fast it corners but in how many people can be transported at once. Even if it's a straight line at 20kph, it's still better to have big LRTs hauling upwards of 2000 people, stopping at intersections to let them switch to another LRT going in another direction.

The one benefit I can see here is the low cost of installing these tracks, it could be used to trial a route served by a tram (negating the cornering feature), but even then, a bus has near zero infrastructure requirements and can move more people than this for the same price.

Funny how cops manage to round up Just Stop Oil protestors for even talking about maybe being disruptive, but they let full-blown race riots carry on for five fucking days.

I have much the same:

• Files on the network with NFS
• Kodi on an old laptop under the TV so we can watch said files.
• Syncthing on our phones and laptops to pull films from there onto that file server.

The only difference is that I'm using a Synology 'cause I have 15TB and don't know how to do RAID myself, let alone how to do it with an old laptop. I can't really recommend a Synology though. It's got too many useless add-ons and simple tools like rsync never work properly with it.

Be "not Liberal" in the face of a terrible Liberal government. Under our electoral system, that's all that's required.

Because that's how they're marketed and hyped. "The next version of ChatGPT will be smarter than a Nobel laureate" etc. This article is an indictment of the claims these companies make.

Swapping out one government for another with identical policies on key issues like sustainability, xenophobia, and genocide is not progress.

Much will depend on the NDP's upcoming leadership election. If they don't choose a steely, angry, charismatic socialist, the Conservatives will sweep the next election.

I've actually tried to use these things to learn both Go and Rust (been writing Python for 17 years) and the experience was terrible. In both cases, it would generate code that referenced packages that didn't exist, used patterns that aren't used anymore, and wrote code that didn't even compile. It was wholly useless as a learning tool.

In the end what worked was what always works: I got a book and started on page 1. It was hard, but I started actually learning after a few hours.

Yeah this was a deal-breaker for me too.

Definitely. Instead of just just seeing a file listing, users would see your demo page. For a comparison, have a look at my little slack icons repo.

Nice! Thanks for sharing! As a suggestion, you should rename your A-preview-file.md to README.md as sites like GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg will render it out when you're viewing the folder contents.
