Buses that could run self powered on side streets, yet charge using overhead power lines installed over main roads.

Would pretty much combine the energy savings of electric rail with last-mile service via bus routes.

Responsibility. We’ve yet to decide as a society how we want to handle who is held responsible when the AI messes up and people get hurt.

You’ll start to see AI being used as a defense of plausible deniability as people continue to shirk their responsibilities. Instead of dealing with the tough questions, we’ll lean more and more on these systems to make it feel like it’s outside our control so there’s less guilt. And under the current system, it’ll most certainly be weaponized by some groups to indirectly hurt others.

I haven’t worked with Collabora before so I could be completely wrong but it looks like from the install doc that the “OK” string is what should be expected.

Is CODE the server backend to handle syncing and do you need to install a separate application that points to that server?

I know standard notes is like that.

You literally just said the two things I wished Kindle allowed me to do natively.

I hate the fact my Kindle store books will bundle by series, but my non-kindle books will not.

Totally agree. Unfortunately it’ll still be attacked as “government funded media” like NPR gets even though from my understanding what you’re describing sounds more international. And I’m sure there will always be pressure from countries demanding veto power or they’ll cut their funding similar to the issues the UN has, but we can’t let searching for the best solution keep us from implementing one that’s better than what we have now.

Wikipedia is pretty large now, even for text only versions. So the most recommended option to download/read an offline version is by using “Kiwix”.

Kiwix is a reader designed to open and operate archived websites like Wikipedia that are stored in a .zim (think z-file compression but for websites).

Kiwix is open sourced and readers can be installed on your pc, phones, self-hosted as a website, etc.

You can check out their Kiwix library for a list of curated zim’s beyond Wikipedia that are updated on a schedule

You can also use their zimit tool to archive websites on your own as well.

It took a day for me to grasp all these concepts since they were designed mostly for Wikipedia archival purposes but it’s amazing how robust the tools and community are.

Like you mentioned, it’s the biased part of the business which wrestles with journalistic integrity.

ie. Return on Investment, special access or limited access compared to your competitors depending how your piece is written.

It’s not entirely surprising when journalistic integrity is at odds with the finances that fund said journalism, but it most certainly can be disappointing.

Yeah I think he just shared the .com domain and wasn’t thinking about it/aware which is why he edited his comment and just linked to the GitHub page.

It’s really annoying, because the .com address is the top result on Google too when you search for Actual Budget.

Actualbudget.com =/= actualbudget.org

Originally the project was a closed source budgeting app to compete against YNAB on privacy and cost but the developer got overwhelmed and decided to open source the project.

I can’t remember all the details why the project doesn’t have access to the .com domain still, but you can use the .org site to see the details/source code. (You can also see the .com address hasn’t been updated, and still has the original 2020 copyright date)
