I think it’s a pretty universal trend as well, at least in developed countries. I think I remember hearing it’s the same trend in Germany, which is a country with a historicaly strong car culture like the US. But I don’t have a study to back that up.

Yeah I know, like sbin isn’t used in most modern distros, right?

Thank you for that, I always wondered about the meaning behind a few of these directories.

Don’t you worry about it, wine has been around since the 90s. So many desktop apps you like on windows will be really functional, and you can see their individual compatibility ratings on https://appdb.winehq.org/ For games, it’s another mater. But most of the time it’s fine wether it be on steam proton or wine-ge. Try it for a few weeks and you’ll find yourself happy, but still harassing devs for a native Linux release :)

The number one problem of modern appliance is indeed longevity I’d say. The so called “planned obsolescence” is probably what mainly drives or consumption of electronics and, accordingly, our production of e-waste. But Framework might just be saying that for green washing purposes.

Damn that seems really infuriating. Where I live there’s a government program to forbid anyone to send you ads or political propaganda (and the best part is that you can report those who slip through the net!) It isn’t fool proof but it did decrease the amount of calls from people trying to sell me shit I don’t want.

Default app store for my Volla phone. I’m the ultimate hipster and I’m proud of it!

It doesn’t look that well covered, no? I think I already saw geologists with some sort of reflecting gear to shield themselves from radiation. This must make things even more unbearable.

Well, first and foremost, I guess the main benefit is saving a lot of money. If you use your car everyday to go to work and go shopping it can cost thousands of dollars where I live. Between the fuel, insurance, parking fees, mandatory yearly checkup (with possible repairs which are even more costly), the bill climbs pretty fast!

And it can be such a pain to drive a car in the city. Traffic jams, Red lights every 2 minutes (we all get that unlucky day), finding a free parking spot, waiting at gas station when there’s a penury (they are bound to happen!).

Using a bike or simply walking is comparatively hugely cheaper obviously, but also quite less frustrating in urban areas at least.

Well they said their servers were powered by renewable energy up to 99% and they host French and English communities. I’m an environmentalist who speaks French and English. When I saw that I said : “That’s my home now!”

I would even call it social justice. Great visual analogy nonetheless.

Most places where I’ve seen those annoying rules are official websites of my country’s institutions… Hard to make do without them.
