You're right, I believe the only thing Switzerland mandated (or wants to mandate?) is for projects built FOR the government to be open sourced - and even then, there are exemptions.
Of course, unlike you, I don't live in Switzerland, so I'm probably not as informed.
More limited, but also less enshittified than Windows.
If you want a good, well-polished experience for certain creative workloads, or even programming, MacOS is great and their Apple Silicon CPUs are excellent.
If you want to do ANY gaming besides WoW (which surprisingly enough has always had great MacOS support) or you can't stand the lack of configurability, Linux is immediately the superior choice by far.
Do read my comment again lmao
I don't remember when it was starting out but I do remember the forums of the 00s as well as the overall online culture of the time. The fediverse is the closest I've gotten to feeling that again but obviously nothing will ever feel like that again because I'm an adult and all the sense of wonder is gone from the online world for me.
At least here, we're not on a platform owned by corporations.
Exactly my point.
It's just that they've adopted the label.
You could say you're a fan of national socialism, but when you realize what people who refer to themselves as national socialists are, I don't think you'll want to use that label on yourself anymore.
Incel pretty much already means that.
Cringe moment is that when I was like 16 or 17, I too, identified with being an incel - I mean, I WAS INvoluntarily CELibate. So I browsed their subreddit for a while.
I quickly realized that those were guys who were not just involuntarily celibate. They all hated women.
I'm lucky enough to never have owned a car without buttons - My newest car was a '19 Benz and they LUCKILY were pretty slow about hopping onto the touchscreen bandwagon
However, in my comment I meant on-screen buttons anyway, as that seems to be the norm nowadays :(
Well there are a bunch of reliable late 90s and early 2000s German engines that would make that thing ridiculously fast compared to now, pollute less, burn less fuel, and would be pretty easy to maintain.
Long as you avoid all the ones with known pitfalls and research standalone ECU options first of course.
I'm partial to Mercedes engineering myself, I'd tell you to use an OM646. But there's nothing wrong with an M47 or a VW 1.9 tdi either. The PD version of the tdi is slightly more complex than the oldschool versions (66 and 81 kW), but would get you ridiculous performance and fuel economy considering how little your car weighs.
Of course if you had more space in there, I'd suggest an OM648 or M57, but I don't think you'd get an inline 6 to fit. MAYBE an OM647 since it's an inline 5?
This depends a lot on how much the one already in place pollutes, vs the new one.
For an EV vs a slightly older ICE, on your average western power grid (so not fully renewable, but not fully coal either), it takes just a few years till the EV's total lifetime emissions are less.
I never bothered to go edit or delete my comments after the API drama that caused me to move here, but now I might just go do that because the entire point of keeping old comments up was that maybe someone will find one from a search engine and find it useful. If reddit is going to monetize THAT, they can fuck right off.
