people who are really into free/open-source but very anti-socialism are baffling. as are any libertarians over the age of 20.

In other words: "fuck you, use Chrome"

trains are predestined to be driven by computers, they basically are already. switches are generally controlled remotely, not by the driver, except sometimes on trams. on high speed lines, signals are being transmitted into the cockpit instead of standing beside the track. pretty much all a train driver has to do nowadays is operate the throttle/brakes and sometimes the doors correctly, and there are systems in place that prevent them from fucking that up. compare that with the huge machine learning with captchas clusterfuck that are computer-driven road vehicles

imagine how far we as a society had come if we focused on improving rail transport INSTEAD OF REINVENTING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EQUIPPING HIGHWAYS WITH FUCKING CATENARIES FOR BUSES AND TRUCKS

CW your politics. Not doing it because you can't avoid it yourself is a dick move. I'm all for not letting people bury their heads in the sand but ignoring cw's for any reason is shitty and unproductive
