As much as I think that the Reddit and twitter soap operas are nothing but a time sink over what is a relatively simple cautionary tale, I can’t look away from this train wreck. “Y, elon?” is the new “fuck u/spez”.

fair enough, I had not tested any other distros, my bad.

You can search duckduckgo for Nvidia mok secure boot mint and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

“works for me”

That’s not a protip. A protip would be how you do that :D

RTX3060, I suspect this is the case for newer laptops, yes.

Me installing Linux Mint on a 2022 laptop with a Nvidia GPU (had windows 11 preinstalled, this was an alongside install). I disabled secure boot at first, but still had to go all the way back and set up my MOK keys and turn on secure boot properly with another password to unlock the GPU.

You can’t disable secure boot if you want to use your Nvidia GPU :( though. [edit2: turns out this is a linux mint thing, not the case in Debian or Fedora]

Edit: fine, there may be workarounds and for other distros everything is awesome, but in mint and possibly Ubuntu and Debian for a laptop 2022 RTX3060 you need to set up your MOK keys in secure mode to be able to install the Nvidia drivers, outside secure mode the GPU is simply locked. I wasn’t even complaining, there is a way to get it working, so that’s fine by me. No need to tell me that I was imagining things.

All hail Emacs :) 🙌

PS: works 😁

I visit some subs occasionally on old reddit, but have never logged in again. Fuck u/spez.

Ok, you’re a bot, confirmed.

True, I’ve ridden in those vans in Moldova and Romania, but it wasn’t clear if they had a fixed route.

I can tell you that there are also places in Europe where the public transportation network is as hopeless as in the US outside major cities. These are the abandoned countryside regions in Spain, Eastern Europe, some parts of England (coincidentally, the ones who voted for Brexit).

The question is: how to provide efficient public transport to lower-density suburbs? Hint: it’s not trains and it’s not individual vehicles or bikes either.

Meta: this post needs to be a community.

…and it’s crap tech from the 70s.

Yes, I use those stop buttons, but sometimes 5 bus lines don’t get enough use and just get closed down, but creating a line that goes through all those stops takes too long. Yes, it’s a compromise somewhere between a taxi and a bus. I’m imagining single-user taxis, but there are countries where multiple users can occupy the same taxi. In that case I agree with you that it’s similar to a taxi.

Not satire, I’d use this service if I had access to it.

Usually the bus would not circulate empty and conversely I’ve been on fixed bus routes where there were 3 passengers, so what you are saying is very debatable, the key here is flexibility. The flexibility of on-the-go bus route rerouting has huge potential for lower density areas like suburbs or off-peak hours or as a complementary service, but I’m willing to listen to counterarguments to this.

You can’t be “fuck cars” and simply tell people who don’t live in cities to get fucked, you need to present alternatives and this is a start, maybe with smaller buses or vans, depending on live demand estimates.
