All of which make for a way better quality of life than car hell. If people wern't sitting in unbearable traffic all day complaints about urban living would be far less common

There's enough space out there it's not an issue. Cars are a rural technology we bulldozed half the city to makebroom for and then complained about not enough parking and too much traffic

Also housing in cities is artificially expensive because it's illegal to.built dense housing in.most of it.because of suburbanites who wanna play pretend farmhouse

Another issue is that LBGT people often have to flee hostile rural towns for a city where they can be free to live. We're currently in the middle of a refuge crisis as trans people flee red States for mostly cities (small towns in blue states can be scary too) in places like Minnesota.

Cars ruin cities. There's more we can do to make cities better but that's the big one

it indeed is scamming. it's also taking advantage of the fact that you can circumvent laws by being an app that does a regulated thing and get away with it for several years because the average politician is 80 and needs interns to help them send an email. straight up ignoring laws by using an app as a cover also allows you to get VC funding by posing as a tech company. tech companies have a history of growing stupid fast and have a theoretical potential userbase of all 8 billion people thanks to the internet so by being an app you can pretend your unlicensed taxi company or unlicensed hotel company is the next google or amazon.

this stuff was always anti LGBT from the start and should be banned on that grounds alone, nevermind all the other reasons

old people who have been subscribers forever leave it on while they cook dinner, not really caring about the quality of programming, which is basically just filler anymore

too bad antitrust law isn't enforced on this illegal bundling

Last time I looked into this gallium always was discontinued. I got endeavor os working on a Chromebook. The problem is you need to flash your own bootloader and you generally can't do that on arm Chromebooks you will generally want an Intel Chromebook to do this on and there aren't very many of those. The one I have also suffers from having very low storage, I think the onboard storage is like 16 GB.

To be completely honest I'm burnt out on Chromebooks as a viable platform. I made one work in college but I wouldn't really advise going down this path. I probably advise you to get a Pinetab with the keyboard cover or some other similar tablet for that niche, or find a small laptop of the more traditional sense to do this on.

Chromebooks are kind of all weird platform when you think about it, a disposable laptop that's designed just to be a web browser. Google obviously made it to trap people in their ecosystem and the only real markets where they've seen much usages in education, where the very limited Suite of tool students use often were web-based anyways and they're disposability means that if a student trashes them which is not to uncommon replacing them isn't that big of a deal.

I'm putting together an RSS feed reader myself. What are some good sites on yours?
