Majority of people need cars.

The majority of people do not have a car:

• https://www.thedrive.com/guides-and-gear/how-many-cars-are-there-in-the-world - approx 1.47 billion as of 2023
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_territories_by_motor_vehicles_per_capita
• https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/cars-by-country - this page has a nice map

The country with the most cars in China, where there are four times as many people as there are cars.

Japan and the United States are the only countries with populations over 100 million where there are more than 500 cars per 1000 people.

A rich country is not one where the poor manage to have a car, but one where the rich take public transportation. - Gustavo Petro

no transcoding quality loss

is jellyfin actually transcoding when people don’t want it to?!

otherwise, “no transcoding” doesn’t sound like a feature. transcoding is very useful when you actually need it, eg watching something remotely which is stored at a higher bitrate than your network connection can stream. one way to do it with mpv is ffmpegfs, btw.

(fellow mpv user here; i’ve only used other people’s jellyfin instances… but i’d be very surprised if they’re always unnecessarily transcoding everything they watch.)

nope.

I have to ask: what’s with all the obsession with immutable distro?

I guess the promise of having updates JustWork™? I don’t currently use one but I see the appeal.

However FWIW, unlike its namesake ChromeOS, the “Nixbook OS” this post is about is not actually an immutable distro: the instructions are to install NixOS normally and then clone the nixbook repo into /etc/nixbook and run its install.sh. Among other things it installs an update service which runs git pull on that repo as well as running nixos-rebuild boot --upgrade and flatpak update --noninteractive --assumeyes etc.

Cheers to this guy for what he’s doing, but the name is a little confusing. This approach works but it is not nearly as robust as the immutable distro paradigm implied by the name.

i checked their website to see if these are real; disappointingly they are not. they do actually have a “conductor’s coal” scent, though.

Important context!

They had to change this because newer laws like the CCPA classify some ways of transferring/processing data as a “sale”, even if no money is exchanged.

What? No. Do you really think their “sharing” with “partners” who are “providing sponsored suggestions” doesn’t involve money being exchanged? 🤔

Here is an abridged version of that FAQ entry consisting only of substrings of it:

The reason we’ve stepped away from making blanket claims that “We never sell your data” is because […] to make Firefox commercially viable […] we collect and share some data with our partners, including our optional ads on New Tab and providing sponsored suggestions in the search bar

All of the other words in there implying that they had to stop promising not to sell user data because of some (implied to be unreasonable) “LEGAL definition” of “sale” is imo insulting to the reader.

it works for me. did you forget to pay your git bill?
