Obviously it would be disastrous and that's why we're going to do it!
Removing cars from urban areas means lower carbon emissions, less air pollution, and fewer road traffic accidents
Not to mention how much quieter it is.
before there was reddit there were message boards and these message boards tended to be pretty small and niche. They would have low thousands of users, if that. I don't think having low user counts is something to be afraid of - especially for sites run and paid for by volunteers.
it looks like im able to resolve an ip but it's not responding
is there an archive to the archive? this one isnt working
It's just to give more control to the carriers. They say it's a feature for travel but realistically how many people and how many countries does that actually apply to? Some places require ID to buy a SIM card, many places don't even offer plans travelers would want to use (who wants to pay $80 for 1 month of unlimited data instead of $5 for 1GB for a week?), and there's also the question of how many travelers are there vs locals? Are the travelers the majority of users? The majority of profit? Why don't the travelers' local phone companies have travel plans to gouge the travelers themselves?
Anyway all this is to say this is just carrier lock in, it's the return of CDMA.
usually people ask for evidence and then dont fuckin read it or they just argue about the quality of the source, which i dont think is the same thing as sealioning
Yeah I'm actually amazed people are still using this term. Figures it's about computers though lol, of course the antisocial nerds are stronger holdouts than car enthusiasts.

The things that are happening right now are happening under biden though... why do you think it would get better when he has initiated the worsening?
I guess I should clarify that I'm not naive enough to think that this all started under Biden because history has inertia. Biden, having been VP before president and a Senator for many years before that certainly had an outsized contribution to the things that are happening now. The things that are in motion now are not going to be solved by Biden or Trump or really any of the entrenched political class in the west and pretending they are is just fooling yourself. They are too ideologically poisoned and are busy self destructing.
