I don't see why degradation of the individual physical floppies is a concern, since they can be imaged and written onto new(er) floppies, or the system retrofitted to read the same data from a different medium, but I can see where a more modern system would provide a lot of advantages. It doesn't really sound like anyone in this article knows the nitty gritty details that well, though the bit about the loop cable is good.

The SFMTA is looking to upgrade to "modern technologies, such as fiber optic or Wi-Fi," Roccaforte said.

PLEASE do not use wifi to run your trains lmao

Where are the goldfish-brained dipshits who always come out of the woodwork to call you a conspiracy theorist and say "yeah we did regime change in the past but not now"?

Objection to the use of my personal checkout history may seem like a small thing, but it essentializes how oppressive political regimes oppress. I had a friend who lived in the former Soviet Union who explained to me that the most private thing about you is what you read

internet-delenda-est

I mean sure, I don't want to be spied on for profit. But jfc she just haaaaad to sneak a jab at the USSR in there. It's like its contractual for these people, any criticism of US capitalism has to include an "imagine how much worse it would be in bad country" segment

Does it bug anyone else when they say "World's richest billionaires"? Like yeah no shit captain redundancy, there's a word for them though, it's "people". They're just people. This billionaire identity building/mythmaking language has got to stop. Plus its just a way to not normalize gender neutral language/a drop in replacement for "world's richest men" that is technically gender neutral but carries an implication...
