Are you telling me when you look at this image: https://lemmy.world/post/49219082

You can’t copy it?

Copy image? Nope, here’s the link instead.

Where are you seeing this?

Fair enough, I’ve been using their OS for free since 2007, I’m grateful for all the hard work they put into the only major European OS that can even vaguely be defined as “popular”, no other OS comes close and especially not any European HQ’d one

it has been so bad in QLD lately, pretty much whole month of June we didn’t have any negative pricing, there was just so much cloud nearly every day https://sw.ikt.id.au/

Was anyone buying them?

a video with dozens one liner arguments that cannot be addressed without writing half a book.

Because you keep doing stuff like this, don’t bother writing a book, half a book, or even a paper, the idea you can convince me with something that no one in 50 years in Australia hasn’t thought of is insulting to the thousands of people and engineers who have worked on making it a reality

Here’s a serious video for you

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8nEaa3UI5QA

and if you go on youtube you’ll find a dozen more that go into it

If you’ve got 150 billion in your back pocket let me know and we can get started on this thing

Please stop down voting comments you disagree with, it makes you look like a dick

You’re confused why it’s not getting past the planning stage?

Maybe watch the video again? You’re literally the guy in it :)

No it doesn’t

Notably, as shown in Figure 1, passenger cars accounted for 73.0% of passenger-km travelled in the EU-27 in 2022 – the largest of any mode of transport

Public transport activity reached around 995 billion passenger-km in the EU-27 in 2019. This represents a 2.2 percentage points reduction in the share of these modes in the total transport activity compared with 1995. This share reached approximately 16.6% in 2019

Cars > Trains

i give up mate, if you can’t read i can’t help you

That is exclusively a problem of politcal and may be incompetence.

you are free to crique the last 50 years and 10 different government and private enterprise attempts at doing it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_Australia

apparently you know better 👍

Earbuds.

Yes they are in my ears 24x7, I do like listening through my speaker though

Never seen that over here, what are yall doing differently?

Where are you? I bet I can find out pretty quickly you have security teams on your trains at night

You must have excessively shitty trains if having to pay attention to traffic while sitting in 1 position can be more comfortable than sipping tea in a dining car, free to stretch your legs or just using a laptop at your seat.

It’s really not that hard to drive and I would rather get to work in 30 minutes than sit around for an hour, the comfort difference is minimal to me, especially so if it’s busy and trains are packed, then nobody is stretching your legs

Please don’t downvote just because you have a different opinion, it makes you look like a dick

Funnily enough your own map shows how Australia is actually perfectly siuted for extensive rail

Yes, it has been attempted many many many times, it’s now parodied in our own parks and rec style comedy program:

certainly also has the population to support one as well

I don’t think you are noticing just how sparsely populated we are and how big those mountains are in between the cities

If you think self driving cars suck you should see regular people driving cars

I mean that’s fine but that doesn’t answer my original point when 3/4th’s of people are using cars to get around, this public transport paradise is limited to inner city and highly dense locations, and even then 50%+ of people are still using cars

Doesn’t scream public transport is a winner

I also much prefer driving in my car listening to music and not having little shits on the train making a racket and running around and my car is more comfortable and when I want to go down to GYG at 11pm for a cheeky fries run I’m not standing out in the dark and cold in my suburb (not the nicest) waiting for a bus to turn up and then the same thing on my way back, that would be the pits

Maybe this works in a big urban centre but the whole world is not a big urban centre

Thanks for mentioning Japan and Korea

https://files.ikt.id.au/y0q8ls.webp

Japan, South Korea and North Korea would all fit into a space the size of our second smallest state Victoria but that state has a population of 8 million, the combined Korea’s and Japan would be 200 million

Speaking of large population sizes:

We are nearly as big as China but with 1.4 billion, if you took their desert which has fuck all trains and transposed that onto Australia we’re actually pretty close in terms of trains and public transport

But regardless:

Which leaves 3 in 4 who do own a car, so much for skill issue right :)
