Self driving cars will allways use far more energy and space per passenger than a train or light rail. And personally owned cars will spend more than 90% of their time just standing around, being useless and wasting space. If you propose self driving taxis, you're just another step closer to trains.

Yes, and "alive" is quite stretching it. Even if Norris wins every point still available in the last 3 race weekends, Verstappen only needs 24 points to secure the title. He could finish 6th three times to secure the title. Even if Verstappen doesn't get a single point in the last races, Norris needs to finish second every race and sprint and then get at least two more points through fastest laps or a win. There is still some mathematical chance but in reality over.

I don't think logseq has fully automated synchronization, at least it didn't when I started using it. What it does have is the option to automatically git commit changes. You can then synchronize through a remote repo. It isn't fully automatic and requires a remote repo you can trust with your data but it works great for me

That's the beauty about open source: it isn't beholden to the whims of anyone. If disagree with the Linux Foundation, you're free to make your own independent fork. Others that agree with you can then start contributing to the fork. And this isn't a purely theoretical scenario as it has happend with other open source projects before.

They did some great fan service before. In Borderlands 2, there is the NPC Michael Mamaril in Sanctuary who can randomly give out guns when talked to. That NPC is a tribute to the real Michael Mamaril, a fan that passed before Borderlands 2 was released

and it sucks

So there's another thing they share

Not a native speaker, but to me it sounds correct in this context, since it's about the source codes of multiple games (versus the source code of a singular game/project). Similar to how "peoples" can be a correct plural when talking about multiple groups of people.

I'm waiting in for the headline in a couple days or so:

Another hack at Gamefreak: Hackers upload fixed source codes

Unknown hackers have fixed the frame rate issues while upgrading the graphics quality to the level of the earliest Switch titles like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Yes, absolutely. When you look at the innovations happening to Windows recently like Copilot integration and Recall I'm glad that Linux is "boring"

Something similar already happened when bicycle manufacturer VanMoof went under. I believe there was a workaround if you extracted your bike's crypto keys before the servers went down but otherwise you were practically screwed.

So we lose Alpine/Renault and win Audi as a new engine constructor while Honda pretty much becomes RBPT. Any further changes in the engine department that I missed?

What in this article had you jump to the conclusion that he wanted to chop his penis off? Dysphoria is a thing, no questions about that, but the vast majority of men don't want their penis removed and from the article it doesn't seem this man is an exception.

First of all, self mutilation is a known phenomenon of psychotic episodes. While this is the first documented case of penile amputation that's also the reason the case study was conducted and we're reading about it at all.

Next, he has years of depression in his past. For a depression do be diagnosed he has to be under some form of psychological care. While no guarantee that greatly improves the change of dysphoria being diagnosed, especially if it were severe enough to resort to self amputation with an axe.

Ultimately, once he came to his senses he did everything in his power to save his penis. If it was his great plan to amputate his penis while making it look like a drug-fueled accident or even if just wanted it removed but couldn't do so while sober, why would he put it on ice? Shouldn't he be glad or relieved it's gone? If he was dysphoric, I would expect him to make sure it doesn't get to the hospital with him.

Everything here implies that he didn't want to mutilate or amputate his penis and in that case implying it was intentional quite insulting, too.
