On top of that, location matters. Not that many people carry a tablet with them when sitting in a tram, or waiting at a subway station. A phone would be so much nicer in that case. If you’re just chilling at home, a tablet will be more convenient.

Some of those feel made up.

The correct weight.

I haven’t found a good solution to it, so I’ll give you a bad solution instead. If you need five stacks of communities, you can make five accounts and use each to follow specific communities. Like, one account for sports communities, second one for memes, third one for politics etc. it’s not an elegant solution, but it gets the job done.

Nah, skip the garbage and jump straight to brainrot videos.

As if being shredded to atoms wasn’t harsh enough, you don’t even get keep your neutrons and electrons in this process. I guess it still counts as “exiting” the black hole, but just barely.

That is also true, but low output production doesn’t get the benefits of economies of scale. That means that the number of people we need per amount of stuff produced will be higher if we do things small scale. If we have a city of a million people, you can totally arrange various things in a more centralized way, which brings the benefits of large scale production.

Ever wondered why waste water purification or energy production tends to favor large scale facilities? Same applies to farming wheat, grinding it to flour and baking bread.

If you have only small towns, everyone will just focus on making the basic necessities happen. Who has the time to design new electric motors, when you need to spend your time milking your sheep and harvesting berries for next winter.

Restarting production chains and manufacturing facilities is going to be the biggest bottle neck.

If we imagine something like climate change wiping out 99% of the population, there just aren’t enough people to do all that. It’s going to be all hands on deck just to produce enough food for everyone. It will take a few centuries of rebuilding to get to that point.

Speaking of laptops, many years ago, I saw a huge laptop. I thought 17” was big, but this one was just ridiculous. May have been something like 21” or something. Those things have been around for years, so finding a used one should be possible.

Kids and elderly people are already doing all of that, so it is technically possible, but inconvenient. You would also need to outsource your smartphone activities to someone else to actually make it work.

Option 1 seems semi-feasible, but it is getting harder every year. Also, certain activities are already beyond your reach if you’re in this group. As long as you don’t want to do any of those things, you should be fine though.

Option 2 is impossible unless you outsource your phone needs to someone else.

Option 3 is hard, but possible. You would need to limit your activities quite significantly. BTW some homeless people have a dumb phone as their only electronic device. You kinda need to have a phone number in order to barely survive.

Option 4 is the most extreme one. Children and elderly are living like this, but they are also outsourcing everything, so does that count?

Speaking of the north, the answer is yes. You totally can, and should, use the heat for something like district heating.

Doesn’t have to be world changing or even practical. A project like that would still teach you a ton about storage hardware, how file systems work, programming, mathematics etc. Some of these lessons could even be useful, but above all, a project like this should be fun and interesting.

Why do you think people install Linux and run Doom on all the weirdest hardware they can find. This is the spirit that drives innovation.

Don’t let expectations hold you back. Make your own FS, and have fun.

But we’re on Lemmy, and that comes with a huge selection bias. In fact, you don’t really find that many typical individuals here. A significant part of the population here uses Linux as a hobby, or does something technical for a living. Possibly both!

I really don’t think it’s that far fetched to imagine that it’s possible to find someone in here who has the time, energy, enthusiasm, patience knowledge and intelligence to build a new file system. I’m pretty sure you can also find more than one person capable of writing their own drivers or libraries.

Some factories have public tour days every year. Just look it up on their website.

If you have some kind of an organization behind you, it’s also possible to arrange such tours during other times. You could also make your own industrial tour association, get a bus full of people and start arranging tours with different companies. Just contact the PR department in advance, make some phone calls etc. and you should be able to visit a whole bunch of interesting places.
