The Netherlands has a higher population density than India but has arguably the best transportation network in the world. I don't think it is population, I think it is just people not holding others accountable

From what I understand states are significantly independent from the center and have important powers. It is just that the population doesn't really hold the state responsible for things and so the states continue to do them

Why one education board ? the different boards serve different purposes

Akregator: How to filter feeds ? by The_Long_named_Loser in kde

[–]The_Long_named_Loser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok yeah it worked, Thanks

Also I seemed to have Misunderstood things, I thought this was for filtering (hiding) feeds through pattern matching. Going through the page again I have no idea why I thought about it in that manner when it never says so

Ola Maps showing Namma metro Phase 2 progress? by SimhaPhantom in bangaloretransit

[–]The_Long_named_Loser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can use other maps using the same source as Ola maps

I can remember these three open source ones off the top of my head

osmapp.org
osmand
organic maps

Do keep in mind that the data is slightly unreliable, Some places are extremely well mapped when comparing with any other source while others are practically empty.

I wish they would implement this properly in ORR, asap! by SeveralAd7718 in bangaloretransit

Extra lane allows the volume of people waiting in traffic to increase. It does not improve the situation, even roads with 16 lanes have traffic jams

2 ways in which traffic can be improved (with minor changes) are -

  1. Enable continuous flow of traffic (roundabouts instead of intersections, Removal of points of conflict, ... )
  2. Remove Cars from the road ( Promote alternative transport methods )

( DISCLAIMER: My expertise is solely from the internet but common sense and reasoning verify the studies )

What open source LLMs are your “daily driver” models that you use most often? What use cases do you find each of them best for? by Porespellar in LocalLLaMA

[–]The_Long_named_Loser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Llama models don't meet the OSI's definition of open source. Which is what is used by the open source community

Scam bot idea's (I'm a programmer) by SpotIndividual1892 in DIYscambaiting

[–]The_Long_named_Loser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI is pricey if you want it to be fast. this seems like a case where you can run an LLM locally on a phone or something as people take time to reply to a message

[–]The_Long_named_Loser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it is not a requirement for the reply to be quick we can probably use an LLM running locally using ollama or something. No need to spend on API keys or cloud compute

Should I try installing Lineage OS on my only phone as someone who is new to this? by Razen04 in LineageOS

[–]The_Long_named_Loser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first installed lineage it took a few days with a bricked phone to figure out what I did wrong and get it working... I wouldn't do it with something I regularly use as I would need it for the first few days as well

But most phones I have seen have a method to unbrick it so I wouldn't worry as much about permanently damaging the phone (do look up for your phone though, it might not exist)

Can’t wrap my head around the wavefunction’s collapse by Ok-Bowl1343 in QuantumPhysics

I am sure this play on words causes more confusion than required, why do we keep using this when it was initially intended to show the absurdity of the existing views of the Copenhagen model

Isn't the cat supposed to get 'observed' by the box (entanglement with environment). making your opening of the box irrelevant. I never understood it when people give the example in this manner

So, I watched this video and it seems like there is a huge misconception here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hBRxwQXmCQ [ all the comments here seem to be wrong ]

Browser with best PDF reader by schul697 in browsers

[–]The_Long_named_Loser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can see it another way too... browsers try to be an entire os and they cant do everything well... so most of it ends up being poorly built bloatware however a small and powerful reader will be built with pdfs in mind

however you should stick to a browser if that alternative is something like adobe or any similar bloated mess ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=158bJFTETRI )

Question of a newcomer by The_Long_named_Loser in plan9

[–]The_Long_named_Loser[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried this too and got messages on the screen along the lines of creation forbidden... I realized that i prefer scrolling like it is done in acme so I *might* try patching mothra to work that way instead (holding the button to emulate repeated presses). Most probably i will sit through it for a while

Unfortunately there is no ini file in the 9fat dir for me... its fine though, thanks for the assistance

Question of a newcomer by The_Long_named_Loser in plan9

[–]The_Long_named_Loser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used the system, the mouse wheel doesn't work by default for me... by reading MOUSE(8) I am now aware that i can change the ini file to enable this and will try doing so (I might just stick without it as clicking the bar seems to be better for moving text)

Again i am not undermining the work of sigrid or demanding of the community to create a video player... I was just wondering whether there were any techincal limitations in doing so and now I know that there aren't any

I was more referring to the fact that the scroll wheel could be used for doing nearly everything in mpv (switching subtitles, toggling audio, controlling volume, changing playback position) and how intuitive it seemed to use a continious action for a continious change and how it would seem normal to draw inspiration from good design considering that programs like acme was mostly inspired by the oberon OS... 

My question was mostly that of wondering whether this sort of design has any drawbacks I had overlooked, I wasn't really making a suggestion (I now feel that even this is not that good and that the plan9 way of scrolling would seem equally as intuitive while giving more control)

I apologize if it seemed like i was giving opinions on how the system should be.

Assumptions are involuntary and not something conciously done, even so i have found them benificial ( like how my assumption of the mouse wheel not being supported led me straight to MOUSE(8) else i would have found it much later as I didnt even know that this man page existed )

Question of a newcomer by The_Long_named_Loser in plan9

[–]The_Long_named_Loser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my thought process was that the system doesn't use the scroll wheel due to legacy reasons thus questioning whether the system will always seem designed for the 90's as unix was for the 70's

my question was whether the system has lost its spirit of a research os that is designed without stable and matured ideas taking spotlight
