Sure, but not legally so. Patents are the reason there are only really two x86-64 vendors and a company could similarly patent their own RISC-V modifications.

It’s literally faster and more convenient??

You also have to walk around in a store and can’t wait at a bar in the front while an underpaid intern is forced to fetch the items on your shopping list.

Why would you want a service human just to scan your groceries?

Anyone can design and sell little circuit blocks and on chip peripherals, even proprietary ones, for use on any chip.

What’s the likelihood of a dominant player emerging and implementing patented, proprietary RISC-V architecture changes which turn out to be necessary for high-performance? And if such a company gains sufficient market share, they could turn RISC-V into basically another x86-64 with many proprietary extensions. Sure, others could create their own RISC-V base processor - but if their performance is 500% lower than processors from the proprietary vendor who would purchase them?

Yes, if the induced demand results in similar levels of congestion - which it very often does - there would be more emissions in the end.

And you’re right, cars will exist for the forseeable future. I do not however want the government subsidizing car dependency since it is destructive to the environment and to everyone’s health and safety.

A couple of possibilities to drastically reduce traffic:

• turn all multi-lane streets within cities into single-lane streets for cars with exclusive bus and bike lanes to treat all forms of traffic equally
• reduce all inner-city speed limits to 30 km/h to reduce car noise, emissions and increase pedestrian safety
• traffic lights should prefer public transit, pedestrians and bicyclists instead of cars
• stop subsidizing parking spaces for cars with city money and drastically reduce on-street parking as cars take away massive amounts of space
• put toll roads onto highways as their cost is massively higher compared to fuel taxes. After all, trains have to pay a costly fee to use train tracks already - why should cars have this privilege?

There’s a lot more I could write here but you get the gist. Making car traffic more efficient does not reduce emissions in the long term in the slightest. Making car traffic less efficient reduces emissions instead because people will not use cars as frequently.

And keep in mind, I’m not talking about Bumfuck Nowhere (population: 725) when mentioning public transit. Cities have insane amounts of car traffic which can be massively reduced with just a couple of decisions. This would make car traffic less efficient as right now it enjoys many privileges over other forms of transportation.

And next year the congestion will be the same as before, except with even more cars and even more emissions.

This is equivalent to building another lane on a highway to increase throughput and decrease traffic jams. In the beginning, emissions will be reduced since traffic jams occur less frequently. And then, through induced demand, there’s congestion again.

Improving car throughput directly leads to increased emissions with a small delay.

From the paper:

Increased speeds from adaptive signals may induce additional travel, as people opt to drive more or travel farther, potentially offsetting some congestion benefits. Our models do not fully capture induced demand due to data limitations, but adaptive signaling generally supports higher traffic volumes and smoother flows.

Nah, I think it’s neat as well. Lemmy would be more boring if no user had idiosyncrasies.

Hell, I’ve even tagged you with “CC BY-NC-SA 4.0” in my Lemmy client - which means I will confront you if you ever stop doing it.

It’s source available, not open source.

It severely limits what can legally be done by restricting modifications and prohibiting “commercial” distribution:

You may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others.

You may distribute the software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.

Non-commercial purposes is extremely vague by the way. Depending on the country - or even the court in a country - nearly everything distributed on the internet is for commercial purposes.

For example, in Germany, only commercial websites have to put up a legal disclosure consisting of address, full name, phone number and email. Yet courts have ruled that every single website that is available to the public is “commercial” - only private webpages available to a handful of people are non-commercial. If anyone redistributed the software in Germany this license would be grounds for a successful lawsuit.

How does she know who’s a nurse or teacher though?

Maybe if the former is wearing their uniform and but I wouldn’t be able to tell who’s a teacher unless they explicitly told me. Or do teachers in the US wear teacher uniforms?

Section 230 doesn’t apply to lemmy.world already because their instance is hosted in the EU and has to comply with laws that make them responsible for what’s posted already. Or rather, responsible if content isn’t removed quickly.

It’s also why comments supporting Luigi Mangione’s alleged murder are removed as they would make lemmy.world liable.

Are you sure? From everything I’ve heard MP3 bitrates at 192 or above are generally considered to be transparent.

In case you want to do it more scientifically, try ABX testing. It’s a bit time consuming but it should provide clearer results.

Every file can have zero days targeting a specific application though. Sure, PDF is a bit worse than other formats in that regard but I’d say the likelihood of a zero day PDF is approximately the same as a zero day MP4 for your video player.

Honestly, this is the best thing about the AI hype.

Remember to support your local (shadow) library!

Countries share information though. And it is not below a fascist US to give China some nice trade deals for detailed information on queer US-Americans. Nor is it for China to accept such a deal.

I admit, I was partially wrong. The CoC violations occured outside freedesktop and he received an email from a freedesktop member stating that their CoC does extend outside their immediate project, to some extent.

This isn’t that unreasonable in my opinion, considering that his behavior “reflects on communities like [FreeDesktop] when [they] interact with and accept contributions from hyprland.”

Of course this should only apply to severe CoC violations considering that two different CoCs rarely overlap in full.

So the reason for the ban was that hyprland’s developer published their email exchange and wrote an extensive, surprisingly hostile blog post about it.

I genuinely recommend reading their exchange, I’ve rarely seen this amount of hostility and toxicity in an email exchange - followed up with “I hope we can resolve this constructively” and “I will be seeking legal action if you continue threatening to ban me”.

It’s an idiom about admitting you’re wrong.

In other words, you could write the sentence as:

“If there has been significant positive change since then, I admit that what I wrote was wrong.”

I’m not actively following it since I stopped using Hyprland around that time.

If there has been significant positive change since then I stand corrected.

No, this was an instance of transphobia in their official Discord community. See this for context.

Another instance is how Hyprland’s developer is banned from contributing to freedesktop.org for repeated COC violations.

Hyprland has a right-wing reactionary community surrounding it. For instance, on their Discord a trans person had their username’s pronouns changed to (who/cares) by a moderator after being upset that they were misgendered.

Wikipedia is the least unreliable, accessible source of information by a long shot.

I don’t even know a single contender that maintains similar scope, accuracy and accessibility.
