Do you mean

1. To persist the programs installed across multiple OS installs, or
2. To persist the Dropbox login/folders across multiple OS installs?

Apple's preferred languages definitely have a smaller foss footprint than say c or rust or go

The American South (several institutions, not necessarily the ppl) will attempt to make any minor issue as the root cause of the Civil War, except for the slavery issue.

Afterall, slavery and racism wasn't that ingrained in the society. If you look past the court cases, extra judicial killings, lynching, riots, coups and massacres.

I feel it's hard to find places which are walkable but not bikeable (outside of the USA)

A walkable grocery store is at max a 10-15 mins from the house (in my opinion). This allows you to just pop in and buy stuff while coming from the public transport stop without having to schedule big trips for the entire week/month.

For text communication, teams sucks. Channels and groups are weirdly different. Channel and normal meetings are weirdly different. search is f'ed up....

Zoom: yeah that's worse for text communication

For dense cities, it's called a metro. A stop within 10-15 minutes by walk, 5 mins by bicycle and lots of share bike and bike parking.

The OP is correct wrt powerful e bikes sharing space with pedestrians and normal bikes.

They are a different beast, heavier and noisier. They have much higher speed limit, and require less effort (some models need no pedal power) to travel. This, alongside the rise of delivery services, encourages people to overspeed (more than 20mph).

15mph is roughly the limit of what makes bicycles safe for mixing with pedestrians, but beyond this speed, they aren't that different from a motorbike in terms of road design considerations.

At least they are better than cars and SUVs

Without context this link is just bad. Plant growth will not reduce CO2 levels because biosphere is temporary store or carbon (since it is a part of the carbon cycle)

We are putting carbon (into the atmosphere) that was previously buried. So putting a tiny bit of it back into plants doesn't help because:

• those plants will die and release the carbon back
• the number of plants added is inconsequential compared to the deforestation
• the number of plants needed to offset additional carbon is humongous

At some distance, we can no longer see the stars or even the galaxy. A supernova will allow us to see in really distant past, maybe at the first generation with some really good lensing.

Think ereandel but older

I use an extension in Firefox for this

I wanted to update my family PC (technically, but I don't think anyone else apart from me used it). Windows XP licence was too expensive for me as a kid and I found a CD ROM in my library with a FOSS OS advertised on it.

Fast forward to now, and I have been using Linux almost exclusively for 15 years now (some Windows usage needed for work or gaming)

This is called grammatical gender. The articles as redundant information are quite useful when there is noise around. Even if you catch parts of the article and the noun, you can eliminate a bunch of similar sounding words due to the partial information (eg in this thread about See being lake or sea based on gender)

This is found in several sibling languages of German and the evidence for it is quite strong for PIE (4.5k-2.5k BC). It could have started with just slight changes (noun inflections) to signify information for clarification or redundancy which then got formalized over time due to natural language development.

Even old English had grammatical gender, and the gender neutral ness is a recent development (as compared to evidence of grammatical gender). We have holdover words from Old English where we don't see the absurdity because of the loss of gender during the Middle English (probably due to incorporation of different dialects in cities like London and gender less appearing novel and thus cool to speak), eg: wife and woman have similar but differently gendered roots (wif (neuter) and wifmann))
