workable
No. It would require guillotining all billionaires, dissolution of a shit ton of wasteful industries (AI for example), vast reduction of meat consumption (which also means closing large parts of the meat industry) ...
Basically it requires the rich and powerful to not be rich and not be powerful anymore
Is it realy so incomprehensible to see how useful it is? I feel like most people in this threat just close their eyes and scream. Yes you can call, yes you can find a different solution to every problem. But it is still fucking convenient to just know where somebody is without you having to ask them having to actively respond.
There's no upside
It is insanely useful to know where your partner is. It is not necessary. It is still useful. I would not allow my partner 24/7 location information. It is still useful. I don't trust any app/manufacturer that allows such a feature. It is still useful.
I think this is what French balconies are for. You are still under your roof but also kinda outside
Its an exaggerated ~~non-~~issue
Linux is not a uniform userbase. Many systems will be affected by this. Many users will be fine because they use a well used and maintained distro. Many servers and embedded systems will not be fine.
That raspi running your pihole that is never updated? Yeah that might just stop booting next time there is a poweroutage and you wouldn't know what's up.
I hope your cat never finds out he could have been called ruby but you choose to go with rails....
Yeah most billionaires are billionaires because they own a company worth a lot. So their wealth is to a large part based on "what would they get when they sell the company". Beyonce is herself the "company" but there is no evaluation for how much it is worth to be Beyonce. She can get a lot of very expensive things for free just for beeing herself. And how much could she earn by "selling out"? Wealth estimations just don't make sense at this level
Drinking alcohol habitually is called alcoholism. Any time the consumption of alcohol is a fixed part of your day, you are already over the line. A beer with every dinner? Shots with friends/coworkers after work every day? That's alcoholism.
~~more than a few drinks a week~~
More than 0. There is no save amount of alcohol. But almost nothing we do is save. Go outside in the sun? Cancer! Eat fat/sugar? Heart/Liver failure! Stress from work and doomscrolling? Depression and anxiety!
Choose your poison, but know it is poisonous! Cheers 🍻
Nothing green about alcoholism. I enjoy my beer, gin and occasionall hangover but alcohol addiction is nothing to celebrate
Yeah I feel like this runs into the typical problem: you need so much rubber that the weight of the band itself is much much much higher than that of the rocket. So you need to add more rubber band for the rubber band, for which you need to add more rubber band again...
The same as why you can't build infinitely high buildings. The materials are just to heavy compared to their strength
Not having a gender on passports could seriously impact your ability to travel when every other country requires you to fill in your gender (male, female) when booking planes, trains, busses or sometimes even hotels.
