Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed,
authors Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff look at the worldview that shaped Elon Musk
and the ideology that has coalesced around him.
They call Muskism “an operating system for the 21st century.”
Musk runs rocket company SpaceX, AI startup xAI, electric car maker Tesla and the social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
Musk’s political influence extends from his use of X to advance controversial ideas,

Abstract: The unexpected collapse of the Carola Bridge in Dresden, Germany, provides a rare opportunity to characterise how urban network traffic adapts to an unexpected infrastructure disruption. This study develops a data-driven analytical framework using traffic data from the Dresden traffic management system to assess the short-term impacts of the disruption. By combining statistical comparisons of pre- and post-collapse motorised traffic distributions, peak-hour shifts, and Park-and-Ride data analyses, the framework reveals how traffic dynamics and traveller choices adjust under infrastructure disruption. Results reveal that the two closest bridges, the Albert and Marien Bridges, absorb the majority of the diverted motorised traffic. In particular, the daily traffic volume on the Albert bridge increases by up to 81%, which is equivalent to 3.5 hours of traffic operating with maximum flow. Peak hours on critical links are significantly prolonged, reaching up to 250 minutes. Besides redistribution, the overall daily motorised traffic crossing the Elbe river declines by approximately 8,000 vehicles, while Park-and-Ride usage increases by up to 188%, suggesting a potential travel mode shift after the disruption. The study reveals the patterns of traffic redistribution following an unexpected disruption and provides insights for resilience planning and emergency traffic management.

@pre@boing.worldIt becomes ever more important that you stop using Google.
It's been important for a long time, since they removed 'don't be evil' from their tag-line and decided that they had to be a big evil corporation instead.
They're giving up on being a search engine now too by the sounds of it.
You can use startpage or duckduckgo or something if you still want search.
There are lots of different email providers.
There is GrapheneOS and lineageos and others for your phone and tablet operating systems.
There is Peertube and Rumble and others for uploading your videos.
You don't have to remove it all at once, just make a continuing effort to move away from Google, one step at a time.
I'm almost completely degoogled now. Its taken years. It was a good move. Google only gets worse from here.

@lpryszcz@genomic.social'The interval between great-power wars in Europe from 1648 to 1945 averaged around forty years. That’s how long it takes for the generational memory of the last war to fade from the bodies of the people who vote in the next one. The post-1945 peace in Europe is the longest stretch in recorded history, which means we have a decade or two before the generation that could say "I remember" no longer exists in political life.
What happens then, is what always happens.'
@piger@mastodon.social"because Linux to read text from the terminal uses this thing called readline that implements the Emacs key bindings, so in the terminal you can use ctrl-a to go to the beginning of the line, ctrl-e to the end, etc. Mac OS, the billionaire operating system uses these key bindings system wide, so in every fucking place you can write text, you can use the same shortcuts. Linux desktop for some goddamn reason instead uses... the Windows key bindings"

Also "google books" is already a thing you maniacs. Google, the search engine company, has made a product which is unserchable because of a name clash with another thing from the same company already called that.

This is intelligence apparently. We're going to need a new word for actually clever things given all this crap branded intelligent nowadays.

@buercher@tooting.chThe war is turning into the ultimate test of an operating principle that has guided Trump for decades: construct a narrative, declare it to be true and relentlessly force the world to submit to it. It has proved effective in Manhattan boardrooms, on reality television and even at the heart of power in Washington.
But in Iran, Trump’s unique brand of “truthful hyperbole” has collided with the truthful truth. His reality distortion field has run into a brick wall.

To provide “unlimited" range on their BEV buses they’ve created 'charge points' that can be strategically installed on a route. All of the BEV buses come equipped with a pantograph style connector on the roof that can raise up and attach to the charger.
It is 450kW and delivers 1.5-2hrs operating time in 6mins.
