In Memex crowd thinking environment for thoughts unthinkable to separate beings, human-machine general intelligence raises superintelligent offspring to help all life.
I’m good at finding sources, not citing them properly.
I used to work at a university traffic research unit. I tried making a pedal-electric car but failed.
Luckily we have Podbike: (I like it, but the price)
They should invest more in design for manufacturability to improve quality-per-price ratio.

The little table about cars and trucks compares the crossover speed above which tyre noise surpasses drivetrain noise.
Graph:
Car noise sources, ICE drivetrain with a notchy transmission.
Meaning:
The constant traffic roar in the suburbs will continue, because at dual carriageway speed, eliminating drivetrain noise has minuscule effect on total noise.

Motorway noise won’t be reduced by electrification:

Urban planning won’t be improved:
Heavy metal pollution will be reduced:

As, Hg and Se exhaust emissions were dominated by fuel combustion while Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn exhaust emissions were dominated by lubricant oil combustion.
Microplastic pollution will increase:
We’re making the same mistake with AI as we did with cars; not planning human future.
Cars were designed to atrophy muscles, and polluted urban planning and the air.
AI is being designed to atrophy brains, and pollutes the air, the internet, public discourse, and more to come.
We should change course towards AI that makes people smarter, not dumber: AI-aided collaborative thinking.

If you consider it as an attack, it makes sense. Same with Xitter and OkCupid.
Or you could have a normal phone and a phone-sized power bank in the other pocket and have balanced pants.
My 5Ah Sony 1 V is too big and heavy. The battery lasts a week in sparse use with /e/OS.
The stricter it’s “controlled”, the more out of control the black market is.
San Francisco has spent so much money trying to solve the fentanyl crisis and yet it still persists.
Your robot vacuum cleaner will shred it and put it in the trash.

Because it’s good now, bad later. Junkies crave good now.
I recently installed /e/OS on my phone. It’s based on Lineage OS, which is based on AOSP.
Bank apps work.

Its main feature is privacy, tracker blocker pictured:
I have /e/OS 2.9 (based on LineageOS) on a Sony 1 V. The default camera app was crap so I installed Sony Photography Pro (the one that came with the original Android) and it works just fine.
