How do airless tyres change the pile of waste? They still wear out and I suspect become economically unviable and are disposed of.

It's not like we can't recycle "normal " tyres today, it's that we don't.

The reason is that there's no economic incentive to do so (yet), and airless tyres don't do anything to change that as far as I know.

Bruce Perens is currently working on a new licensing model called Post Open requiring that business with sufficient revenue to pay up.

Yeah, good luck with that. In Australia they stopped paying and now the media organisations that relied on this income are pretty much stuffed.

That's because the United States is the centre of the known universe where all good things originate .. obviously.

Disclaimer: This is sarcasm, but since there's entitled yanks in this part of the Internet, this disclaimer is required, since neither sarcasm, nor humour translates well for some..

Here's a tip:

Set-up your own instance, create your own account and set your karma to whatever number you think will attract the highest bids ..

.. also, you'll have to write a karma module ..

.. and find a way to convince the rest of the world to use it ..

.. good luck with that ..

Perhaps you should read this instead of any drivel coming out of ChatGPT:

I had no access to or use of a car until I was around 23. Up to that point I lived in a country where you could cycle for most of your daily routine, take the bus a couple of times a month and the train sporadically.

I moved to a country where cycling was for the poor and foolhardy, me for several years, and public transport was atrocious.

Public transport has marginally improved, my bicycle hasn't been used for 20+ years and our household has one car.

Learning to drive is a process. It takes time. Just like learning to fly a plane takes time. If you have a need to drive, learning how is step one. In my country even when you pass your test, you are required to keep a logbook for at least two years and drive in a variety of conditions before you can actually upgrade your probationary licence.

Start with reading Wikipedia articles.

This won't answer all your questions, but it will give you paths to investigate.

Some articles will be written as if you already know the subject matter, but they should give you enough stuff to keep digging.

This won't give you a degree in any of this, but it will give you plenty of puzzle pieces to build on as you see fit.

And this lack of transparency is a great example of why I avoid Discourse.

Is this retorical? You. You will be paying for it, even though only 57 companies are responsible for 80% of greenhouse emissions since 2016.

I'm unsure why you think that Linux mitigations should apply to OpenBSD.

A different approach is to use a version of an OS that is read-only (immutable).

I noticed that you didn't mention ChromeOS.

Edit: Added immutable, couldn't think of the word.
