There's a certain kind of determination/obsession required that I doubt is that common. -

How is that not seen as a joke in very bad taste? -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Thursday, 04-Jul-2024 04:28:22 JST LisPi @arcana @affine @allison @apophis My knowledge of those individuals as actual historical characters is practically nil, but even so that barely applies to inventions.
In both cases their emergence is largely prompted by appropriate conditions for their appearance, which in the case of inventions is even more strongly affected by communications & information availability, and for inventions their appearance is not mutually exclusive. As a result, inventions do not generally exhibit anything approaching the heroic theory in practice.
The frequent mutual exclusivity in historical events and memory probably accounts for the majority of the observed "great man theory". -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Thursday, 04-Jul-2024 04:17:35 JST LisPi @arcana @affine @allison @apophis It is demonstrably wrong by the sheer prevalence of parallel invention & discovery, as well as just how /many/ of the inventions supposedly invented by one single person later turned out to just have been literally stolen from someone else (with some having that happen multiple times) that sucked at making themselves notorious/known (sometimes intentionally). -

That's starting to sound a lot like heroic theory of invention there. I'm immediately skeptical of that, it usually is the case that multiple concurrent attempts were made and often little more than luck of the draw determined which won out. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 03-Jul-2024 13:19:05 JST LisPi @Tony @anemone Most towns/cities in USA are currently built in a massively sprawled and unsustainable way (at least from what I've seen of both pictures, videos, satellite imagery and maps).
Part of fixing that will involve abandoning those that are lost causes.
The cost of construction is also fairly minimal compared to the maintenance of the sheer infrastructural sprawl otherwise engendered. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 03-Jul-2024 13:19:03 JST LisPi @Tony @anemone You'd be surprised at how big apartments can get if you want to build them that way.
In places where that's not the norm those tend to be overpriced, but if you don't really /have/ a norm or are actively changing it, then it doesn't have to be that way. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 03-Jul-2024 13:19:01 JST LisPi @Tony @anemone Yeah that's another thing your country need to do since it failed to do it back when it should've been done a little more than half a century ago.
The whole antitrust thing /started/ as a slapping around railway companies getting uppity. The slapping around railway corposcum with a clue bat should resume.
If they act to destabilize or compromise national security by hindering the construction or operation of its infrastructure (or, heavens forbid, taking its infrastructure hostage as "private" property)... well, there are a large number of laws in your books for that. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 03-Jul-2024 13:18:59 JST LisPi @Tony @anemone It did in fact mitigate /some/ of the bullshit they were doing.
Of course letting them /remain/ oligarch scum was still a mistake.
In any case, given how fond the feds are of throwing words like "national security" around, maybe they should in this case. Sure, they probably can't come after the company directly, but it's all but certain that there /is/ stuff to be found on most of the owners if they bother to dig at all. -

So much for that capture when no one bought them here and no one buys them anywhere now because they're widely recognized as overpriced garbage. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 03-Jul-2024 12:58:44 JST LisPi @Tony @anemone I've literally never used the corposcum platform. They didn't like me trying to register over Tor.
I probably should have qualified "no one *sane* buys them".
The average person you asked here? Gasoline cars are fine, Tesla is way too overpriced to be worth buying. That opinion has only gotten /worse/ now that the cost of battery replacement is infamous (all electric cars fail hard at that). -

AVIF is definitely a lot heavier to decode, but it also /significantly/ smaller than the average JPEG with minimal visible degradation.
(JPEG XL is not the average JPEG and I have not evaluated it.) -

Utterly unenforceable with Free Software, which is all we should be using anyway. -

And no matter how bad it can get, I probably don't need to remind you, it is always better than /literally nothing/ because one cannot afford it. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Thursday, 27-Jun-2024 14:13:30 JST LisPi @realcaseyrollins @Rasp You realize that Canada and Russia's populations are pretty insignificant in comparison to most of those other "smaller" countries?
Incidentally, /despite/ all the corruption and incompetence, they still both have national healthcare.
