Yeah good point, this is why it needs to be better and more integrated, The Torionto transit system seemed really good, but that was circa 2006.

There are trains (via rail) and greyhound for getting from one pkace to another.

Takes 4 days to go from Toronto to Vancouver

@jessica@mk.absturztau.be Is your favourite Beatles song come together

@jessica@mk.absturztau.be You seem to say that a lot on here. :)

@eldaking Is that due to a funding issue, Firefox needs money for development so promoting google generates income.

@gabek@mastodon.social I think there are currently less native applications for wayland

but yes, it gets confusing, people just want stuff to work. Should not need to worry about what graphical back end they are using under the hood.

@fediverse They can't decide what we should be using either, so one day a particular phrase is the 'in' thing the next week it is deemed offensive, in favour of something else.

Result no one is really sure what terminology they are meant to use

From a 'chemist' viewpoint there are a;lso cis / trans molecules which I think refers to where a particluar atom of say a halogen is on the carbon chain, either on the same side or opposite sides.

@gabek@mastodon.social Has the move from Linux+X11 got something to do with many distros moving to wayland.

I am using Debian and XFCE so I think I am still on X11, but the system works fine for me.

@bonifartius @pamby1 @sigma @professortom

Ah Ok, how efficient are they ?

@professortom @sigma @pamby1

Well if we build good infrastructure more people will use public transport, and it will be cheap, reliable and not get caught up in traffic like it does where I am sometimes.

Result less traffic on the road, = less emissions but more importantly I get to my destination in good time.

@professortom @pamby1 @sigma

Stem is Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

I agree they are all one set of topics that are interrelated now

@professortom @pamby1 @sigma

Yeah the west could easily help those countries out in that respect.

@professortom @sigma @pamby1

In some parts of the world, you have little choice due to poor public transport and or distances to get to places.

@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople

Yeah, good point it also avoids being stuck with the technical side of thins

@pamby1 @sigma @professortom

Yeah, we need to encourage science, debate and problem solving.

But proper science subjects.

Never know we may be able to grow crystals for solar panels in space in weightless conditions, that are more efficient for example.

@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople

I am happy to promote things on my blog. if it helps

@dsfgs @humanetech @PaulaToThePeople

Yes but we can't igmore the fact hje is using AGPL code, and has removed the AGPL license and said it is propitiatory,
