I'm not sure there is a perfectly solution. Mapmen cover it very well (and it's funny as always).

Ah, clearly not what I thought then. Please explain! 😃

Could be many in the UK. I had check it wasn't Smith's Tavern in Ashbourne.

No. He needs to be trialed for treason, then jailed when found guilty.

Things that reduce consumption are frequently successful in capitalism. Generally, using less, costs less. There are always those selling a thing who are trying to increase the consumption of that thing, but often at expensive of those selling a competing thing. One successful way of doing that is to be cheaper to buy or run or both, by doing more with less.

However, sometimes we want something to be made with more a bit more to last longer and be repairable.

Raw capitalist won't do all this on its own. The invisible hand isn't very good at planning long term. Governments need to structure markets for outcomes they want, and keep measuring and correcting.

It should surprise me, but not anymore. It must be economies of scale making lithium batteries the cheapest thing to do now.

Yer, I totally trust the Telegraph on what Starmer says on the lines in a class war. Completely trustable source on the subject. Not at all trying to put that line with as many people on its side not Starmers.....

Sounds like you were given a mess alright.

The whole point of docker is to solve the "work on my computer" by providing the developer hacked up OS with the app. (Rather than fixing it and dealing dependencies like a grown up)

Bit special for it to still be broken. If it flat out doesn't work, at all, then it may well be "sunk cost fallacy" to keep working on it. There is no universal answer, but there is a developer tendency to rewrite.
