  • It very much depends.

    In a densely populous city, you can’t fit that many spaces along a street. Price can be a factor too, since street parking will (in many cases) cost drastically less than a parking deck or lot.

    This is in stark contrast with a suburban area that hinges on more rural, where you might see hundreds of empty spaces at any random time outside of a series of retail spaces, like a Lowes + Target + Old Navy + Shoprite or whatever. At some points (say Sunday morning grocery shopping), that Shoprite lot will be full, and so would the neighboring sections in front of the other stores, even though they are all going to Shoprite for groceries. Then you’ll see people waste time going up and down lanes trying to find a spot thats a whole 20ft closer to the store, because who knows why, rather than park in the next lane over which is in front of another store.

    That said, what happened here IMO has way less to do with cars and a lot more to do with the problems of this capitalist society, with wedges driving communities apart, pervasive pathological narcissism, a complete disregard for human life, etc., that has been pushed for so long.









  • Completely agree

    My current decision is between a new Motorola signature 27 with graphene (running under the assumption Linux will be able to make the jump there, which isn’t an unreasonable conclusion to jump to), or getting a mostly basic flip phone that can hotspot and using a umpc with it.

    Where Linux phones have failed for me is the limited options for phones and on the actual phone part, so I feel like separation that out with a nice umpc and letting a phone be a phone is a worthwhile option.

    We’ll see how things play out though!







  • AGENTS.md in a repository are used to guide development.

    That is not entirely true.

    It can be. Yes, it provides agents with contexts - rule centralization, commands, conventions - which may be useful for external tooling for a project that runs on code live like this. It isn’t exclusively used for project development, which makes its presence not an indicator.

    I see at least one: if the project doesn’t have a clear no-ai policy, then assume it is AIP. But that’s not my proposition at the moment.

    Also discussed in the meta thread about this, and what results is projects being called an AI project that are not projects developed with - or even designed to allow interaction with - AI.

    Also a non-starter.

    Edited to add: What needs to be avoided is nonsense like the recent debacle caused by people being unfamiliar with Akedemy, causing a series of nonsensical posts about KDE being “all in on AI”.

    Misinformation is one of those things I will not compromise on.

    I was just asking for a precision, but that’s because I didn’t check archives enough

    There is precision in the detailed rules post.

    If you want to see the prior meta discussions, you can look at my post history. I don’t often make standalone posts, so they are quick to find.



  • Just like the discussion last time on this - every user will not be able to be a forensic reviewer.

    This is demonstrated clearly with how you misunderstood the role of the agents.md file in the other thread, that was for AI to be used with the app, not for the app development.

    So if you’d like to propose this, and people would like this, you’re going to need to include how or its simply unworkable as a rule. And I don’t see any option for how this could be realistically implemented.

    Edit: autocorrect messed with the first sentence, corrected.



  • Bigscreen only just came back around, I wouldn’t go too heavy there yet (and I’m testing it out already myself)

    Get flex launcher instead. Simple config, does the job.

    In terms of specs, there is a lot in your list that can vary, and make those specs jump. Where to start, IMO, would be a 7th gen Intel. If an 11th gen is an option, there and up transcoded av1.

    For storage you’re going to have to do the math yourself in terms of what you’ll have. I have 40tb of media. I used to have a 1tb drive for everything. Storage is how much you want to allocate, nothing more or less.

    Ram is similar. Find the worst case game, most overloaded with plugins Minecraft server or whatever, and start there on memory use. JF won’t take much, your game choice might.
