I guess #Python tries to be the modern #BASIC and the #RaspberryPi #Pi400 tries to be the modern #ZXspectrum but even then the comparison falls flat because outside of #Linux distros, most OSes don't come with a preinstalled Python interpreter - espechally not #macOS & #Windows, so we don't get that cohesion.
#JavaScript and #WebDevelopment - espechally on the #FrontEnd - kinda went overly complex, thus #JS failed to become a mass-adopted languague outside of bloated "#WebApps" that literally ship a whole #Chromium (like #nwjs / https://nwjs.io ) and turn something that should've been measured in Kilobytes if maybe a few Megabytes into hundreds of Megabytes if not Gigabytes of #bloat to be shoved onto a device…
And whilst one can shim that down significantly by relying on #WebView as #API...
https://f-droid.org/packages/de.monocles.browser/...This comes with the can of worms that is #Android #Updates and #Security Patches for devices...
https://docs.monocles.eu/browser.app/#security_issues...which have an absurdly short lifecycle (usually less than 2 years, #Fairphone being one of the few exception!) given flagship smartphones being solid in the 4-digit territory, when equally or cheaper priced business laptops get 3 - 5+ support...
The abundance of computing resources like bandwith, storage, RAM and CPU sadly have resulted in increased #Enshittification, where things feel slower and less responsive than previous versions in spite of sometimes exponentially more resources at hand.
In many cases a lot if developments feel like regressions in terms of UI, UX and overall efficiency, and we see the digital equivalent of #SuperUselessVehicles being made...
That's not the fault of JS - a language isn't a sentient being nor being responsible for even existing - but ut's like introducing alcohol to someone who had never drank anything by giving them a double shot of Absynthé: It ruins it for them...

@mawr Yes and No.
OFC people who barely make ends meet won't be able to buy new cars, but it's the fault of our system that THICC and PHAT #SuperUselessVehicles are the only options being sold and espechally bought by rich #Wankers that can afford new cars in the first place...
The poor rarely have any recourse, and the #CarbonFootprint is just a scam designed to guilt-trip consumers and individualize systemic socioeconomic failure.

@tikibunnyimports Not to mention that we need more efficient cars, because otherwise any energy economy gains are being offset by the giant deadweight of the vehicle itself.
And scientists already call for smaller vehicles because of that.
https://www.transportenvironment.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Battery-metals-demand-from-electrifying-passenger-transport-2.pdfIn fact it gets so worse, some #SuperUselessVehicles and "#Crossovers" [aka. #SUV-esque #uglyfied pseudocompact] already exceed EU Driving license class B @ 3,5t MGW and they ain't like trucks shunting stuff or carrying 10+passengers.

@tikibunnyimports Personally I've to admit #KeiCars are one of the inspirations for the #PersonalLightVehicle #concept I have...
After all, I don't want a #SuperUselessVehicles and if I can't avoid having to own and drive a "#car" then choosing the smallest and most cost-effective that can fit the requirements is the most rational choice...

EG-Fahrzeugklassen L2e, L5e und L7e] statt #SuperUselessVehicles gefördert werden...

@SheDrivesMobility Those are just #SuperUselessVehicles driven by assholes.
But don't take word for it: @notjustbikes formulated it way better:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN7mSXMruEoTLDW: "#LightTrucks" are literally a giant #loophole to circumvent #USEPA's #CAFE standards that demand #Car #Manufacturers to make their vehicles more efficient...

I do agree with @notjustbikes, tho sadly depending on the juristiction, cities can't really do much - if anything - about #SuperUselessVehicles, either because that's outside of their juristiction [i.e. taxes and insurance in Germany] or because it's not part of the law [i.e. Driving Licenses in the EU don't distinguish between commercial and personal use]...

@davidho whilst missles are likely illegal, a semi-automatic .50 BMG should be possile in the #USA - like unsarcastically...
That being said, #TheOnion as #satire sadly is true to the reality of #Enshittification, #MotorizedViolence and #SuperUselessVehicles ...

@ifixcoinops Not to mention the amount of assholes with misconfigured headlights set way too high and even bigger wankers with #SuperUselessVehicles using highbeams even when they are literally sniffing one's exhaust...
Because sociopaths are that way...
And yes,LED lights are worse than sodium lamps in every metric!!!

@piratero @DrTCombs @notjustbikes depens....
There's a reason why #SuperUselessVehicles are basically nonexistant in #Europe and instead we see either #Boxtruck|s, #StationWagon|s, #Van|s and rarely some flatbed truck...
The few #PickUp|s I saw were almost exclusively used by some contractors i.e. Gardeners who use them to haul some bags of dirt, Sand, Gravel or bushes and hedges to customers and throw dirty shovels on...

@[email protected] @[email protected] yeah...
#WhatsMissing are #smol and efficient cars.Nowadays we only see monstrosities in the form of #Crossover-#Enshitification and #SuperUselessVehicles built to skirt #EPA's #CAFE-Regulations.
I want some #PersonalLightVehicles on the roads for those that have no #PublicTransport as option.

@davidzipper +9001%
We need #SmallerVehicles everywhere incentives like #WalkableNeighbourhoods, #BikingInfrastructure and useable and #accessible #PublicTransport ain't gonna cut it.

And #scientists have already said so in a study:

@sixtus Also quasi ne #Fußgängerzone in shice, weil Arschlöcher in #Elektro-#SuperUselessVehicles weiterhin erlaubt sind...
Das ist keine #Verkehrswende sondern nur #Masturbation für #EcoHipster!
