There is a program called thefuck that does this - can fix things like gti instead of git etc..

I mean Linux can run command line mode only, most server variants do this :p

Electric cars are heavier, noise dampened, and have the same blind spots, they do accelerate faster though depending on the situation that can just make an inattentive driver more dangerous.

Electric cars are better environmentally then gas cars but they certainly don’t absolve the need for traffic signals the way purely pedestrian and cycle traffic would

Church seems to fill the hobby need and has some of the same core aspects

  • common interest
  • regular meet ups
  • online and in person groups

Honestly replacement really could be as simple as finding a group that fits your hobbies (I’m in a writing group for example)

Alternatively volunteer, it checks a lot of the same boxes (sense of community, trying to make things better) with none of the religious bits (assuming you find an agnostic organization)

Depends on the product, a lot of things exist to be ad bate, and don’t really serve a wider purpose. Tshirts is an example that comes to mind where people just buy dozens of designs they never wear.

The whole premise has become shopping is the fun activity, the product is just the waste from that activity that needs to be discarded.

So I guess sans ads we would see a lot less arbitrary products (and places like Amazon would take a hit [yay])

I would be curious to know how e-commerce would change though as without ads people would likely gravitate to the big box stores

I genuinely like the idea of higher density, as much as I like driving, having a city that’s walkable and with good transit (which density incentives) would be a dream.

My current city is a sprawling suburb and it’s almost an hour by bus to do a trip that takes 10 minutes by car.

Also thank you for expanding on this!

I don’t entirely follow? I’m totally open to alternatives to making sure the money stays where it is, I just don’t immediately understand the mechanism.

Oop I read through the top comments and probably missed it! ^^

UBI needs to be combined with rent and price controls if it is not, inflation will eat the benefits inside of a 5-year period and money will be siphoned up the chain.

Otherwise I am all for it.
