In Flanders, 🇧🇪, teachers have a card that gives them certain benefits. Free acces to musea, exhibitions,... This year they made it app only. You need to buy a smartphone to get your benefits...

It was never about free speech

Indeed. I wonder why people market it as an alternative since it has way less functionality. I mean, I'm a fan but link previews suck and threads are buggy. A chat/productivity app shouldn't be that hard. Just considering it all, why not use Lemmy as an alternative?

Matrix does the job okay'ish.

A study in semantics

He's not wrong in what he says but I'm quite sure he means something different.

He's not wrong. A judge can rule if there's a trial and that judge will always have to apply the law.

I don't know. You see a parking spot. Turn on indicators and reverse. Never had an issue in 25 years of driving.

I have a modest vehicle. Tiny to American standards.

I've seen people fumble front parking quite often too. My wife for example just doesn't manage to front park in one go while reverse parking comes easy because of the projected guides en the way the car turns as the rear axle is fixed.

I use Droid-ify F-Droid does that indeed. Droid-ify is an overall nicer client to acces different repositories.

I used to be an automation engineer. The specific plant that had these evacuation instructions processes petrochemical products.

That's a skill issue?

You flow as you flow :-) Happy cruising!

I have to mention I have a reverse camera with guidance lines. I can back into a parking spot nearly as fast and swift as I do forward parking.

How? If you're not backing into your spot when parking, you'll be backing out when leaving the spot.

Robin Hood is a thief. You're not a bad person. I get it. I have enough money and sometimes I have the urge to steal. It would be terrible to get caught because I have an exemplary function at work, to my children, in my surroundings... You have to consider whether it's worth it. The fact that you ask the question is a good thing.

What's wrong with reverse parking?

• Backwards parking is actually easier because your front wheels turn.
• It's better for your future self. Backing out of a parking spot with reduced visibility is harder and can be dangerous.
• Overall safety. I used to work in a company where reverse parking was mandatory because in case of an emergency the parking lot could be evacuated faster.
• Better visibility when leaving the parking spot is safer for other traffic participants

I'm puzzled. Is this not common in English? We use them all the time in Dutch.
