Buy military surplus equipment, I guess?

25% worse over what time period?

70% Christian, 3% Atheist, 1% Muslim, 2% Jewish… WTF are the other 24%? Don’t tell me there are that many Buddhist/Hindu/Shinto/etc. folks here! Something’s not adding up.

I find myself wondering how these figures have changed over time. Did we actually get worse, or have we always been this fucking ignorant?

Nominally “Christian” because they like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

I used to dream of a utopia like Star Trek.

Be careful what you wish for.

It depends on the transit service, and how much their IT people suck. I’m pretty sure there have been multiple attempts to make standardized APIs for this sort of thing, but you shouldn’t necessarily expect them to be widely used except maybe in Europe.

Do a web search for “[transit service name] API” and start from there.

Edit: My local transit service apparently publishes a GTFS feed, which may be more widespread than I assumed, but I’m honestly kinda surprised they didn’t try to roll their own or something stupid like that.

That’s because Ace Hardware is franchised. It’s essentially a bunch of small businesses that use the same branding.

I’ll be honest: I haven’t made it past (or even to the end of) that episode either. I’ve tried a couple of times, but end up stopping after a few minutes just from the sheer cringe.

And I really like the rest of the show, to the point where I don’t want to skip any episodes, but that one I really ought to skip.

They’re not shutting it down because they don’t want to pay for it. They’re shutting it down because it’s created the longest-running record of atmospheric CO₂ levels, and climate facts hurt oligarchs’ feelings.

They’re not gonna let anybody else operate it either, regardless of funding.

I’m surprised there aren’t massive protests scheduled for July 4.

Not economic decline; spiraling inequality. Which is even worse, in some important ways.

Could very well be. I’m using OpenWRT and basically did the bare minimum to get it to work.

It seems high as Lemm.ee had 1k daily active users for the last week.

What’s the count from the week before the shutdown announcement?

Yeah, it’s only anecdotal but I feel like hobbyists like us, who do slightly unusual things without nefarious intent, who are the ones who get hit with these sorts of issues the most. For example, I’ve noticed that some websites start throwing captchas at me or even just straight-up refuse to load with 403: unauthorized errors because I have my router set up to load-balance across two Internet connections. (At least, that’s my guess as to why it’s happening.)

Check the part about misinformation.

What Linux infrastructure? The wikis and torrent links?

Package database mirrors (i.e. the things you’re downloading from when you install new software).

Unless there’s a miracle, it would be:

4 consumer are relegated to DRM’d-to-Hell-and-back smartphones

And that’s honestly why this story isn’t the good news it appears to be. An entire generation growing up used to (or rather, used by) locked-down devices designed for consumption is a goddamned disaster!
