Reversible seats sound marginally more expensive to install and maintain. The benefit is to make the customer’s experience better while adding no revenue.
Sounds like some anti-American euro-commie bullshit to me!
The crazy thing is, you would probably want to name it something direct and memorable like LINUX APP STORE to market it to the masses. Have a tag line like “it’s all free!” or whatever.
In the Super Bowl (no affiliation to c/superbowl) commercial, we’ll hear some grandma questioning whether the things on her new laptop were free from restrictions or free from cost, and her jock grandson will look right into the camera and say “yes!”
The amount of times I’ve seen the “oops, you’re right, sorry/thanks!” equivalent on Lemmy makes me think this place really has attracted some good people.

I think you’re agreeing with me there. People want other choices, but they get ignored because they have no chance of winning.
It would be great if we couple coordinate and just try it one year, but change needs to be able to happen gradually too. Our system in practice actively punishes third party voting by your vote benefiting the major party you DON’T want.
I bet people would want ranked choice or similar if given the option. I think the establishment really doesn’t like that idea and actively works against it, though.
The problem there isn’t that we (assuming the US) don’t want third parties, it’s that our voting system encourages party consolidation rather than cooperation. That only gets more true the higher in the government you go.
I started using Linux more last year due to work, so the exodus from Reddit to FOSS land has been perfectly timed for me. I think I have 4 different distros in VMs right now.
See, game pass I’m cool with because it’s an up-front transparent deal that you are buying time to access this library, and the library also changes. There is no pretense of “buying a copy” or whatever.
It’s nice for modern games anyway. For classic stuff that I want to have access to forever, I alreadty have access to that stuff forever. It might stink for the kids who are playing their “classics” right now, though.
This is very well timed for me. I just acquired myself a convenient ancient laptop by installing Linux on a circa 2014 chrome book. It can chug when playing videos, but great for general use.
I just did this yesterday! I’ve worked with Linux/Unix for a long time, but I’ve never had a Linux machine at home. We had an ancient cheap chromebook and I turned it into a functional Linux laptop! I used GalliumOS though, which isn’t being actively developed any longer, so I might have to change setups eventually.
In didn’t plan to distro hop on the chrome book, but having something actively maintained that’s a nice’d up Debian would be sweet.
What have you done to me?!?!?
Are these distros good at supporting various old chrome book hardware? Hell maybe even something like Mint would work, but I should probably stick with the lightweight ones.
What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?
