My last city was always quick to point out that the (poor) bus service was not profitable and didn't warrant any new investment.

But, the entire road system isn't profitable. Especially the cul-de-sac in front of your house. But we all agreed it was "worth it" for our taxes to fund thatq because of the obvious benefits of getting goods and people around the city.

Transit should be no different. A service we pay for through our taxes. Not a profit seeking business.

You were on imgur before reddit? What was it like? With all the posts without context?

What you call politics (US political "issues") and politicking (the act of seeking and organizing power or influence) are different things.

Maybe US political issues have no spot in tech but politics are a part of being human.

What the commenter above was referring to is special API access for Nokia and a few key third-parties that regular devs were not allowed to use.

It was a strange time for Windows phone. Agreed, such a shame, it was an interesting UX-first design for its time.

Kudos for immersing yourself in it!

Aw that's too bad. That response I'm sure you're paraphrasing, but "that one doesn't follow the rules" is the best part of science.

It means our rules aren't good enough, or we don't understand that one well enough. Figuring it out can be an entire career of discovery. And the reasons why can be fascinating and inspiring to more discoveries!

5700 in my server works just fine too, no difficulty setting it up. Running in Docker. Even does HDR tone mapping!

Broadcom is actually terrible, the Rpi foundation just had an in.

NXP deserves some credit for good board support packages and documentation.

Use screen?

Maybe I don't understand what you're after. But 99.9% of Linux systems don't use X. But none of those are desktop PC's.

Q1: No, it does not require X. But some software even if not graphical, requires X libs for whatever reason (e.g. Using Qt)

Edit: to answer Q2: I don't think there is technically a way to interact with the system without a TTY but thats technicalities. Your more practical answer is to use SSH to log in and interact. This is how most IoT things work which run Linux and have no display capability at all.
