For me, OSMAnd~ epitomizes FOSS: Can do literally everything, privacy friendly, completely offline, but incredibly ugly, and with a UX so horrible it keeps everyone but the idealists away.
I've been using the app for hiking for years and I still constantly find myself looking for the right menus or the back button behaving in unexpected ways. The search function is also basically unusable.
The joke is already too old for Leo.
I'm still surprised they didn't find any. Not that I think Saddam actually had them, but I thought they'd find them anyway.
There are ways of dealing with this, but they’re far less ideal than simply having big spinning turbines with large mass and inertia - even if the voltage or frequency of the system changes, the turbine still spins.
Spending more than 40 billion pounds over one and a half decades to build two energy storage flywheels that also produces radioactive waste is probably the most absurd undertaking conceivable to man.
When one type of generation is suffering for whatever reason, the other types can pick up the slack.
But nuclear can't pick up the slack quickly enough, that's the problem.
It's much more expensive when considering lifetime costs, uranium will run out eventually, and because it can't react quickly to changing demand it meshes horribly with renewables. If we can build an excess of renewables and pair them with storage solutions, what do we need nuclear for?
While tech bros will not shut up about how theoretical nuclear energy™ is the future, actual nuclear energy is so much worse than renewables it's almost comical.
I mean they're still not giving it back, right? It's an important gesture, but it also doesn't really change anything.
They'll be basquing in fame.
No. Enshittification imho requires intent. When Google makes you watch twelve ads before a YT video, that's enshittification. If SEO ruins search engines as a whole, that's not enshittification.
Even in glorious Europe with socialized healthcare*, it's very easy to rack up 100k or more in liabilities. Possibly decades of lost wages, improving their homes accessibility, caretakers, damages for pain and suffering and so on. E.g., German law mandates a minimum of 7.5 million Euros of coverage.
The US healthcare system sucks, but, completely independently, these coverages just aren't enough.
*Details vary.
"Analog" has been used to say "the older, pre-computer version" since for decades now. It's fine.
