While it is exciting, I can see both sides of the argument here. The infrastructure here in the US is built around cars so it would be much less effort to automate the existing infrastructure. On the other hand, things could be so much more efficient if we focused on trains and other public transport that excels at transporting a large amount of people. But that would take so much more effort and money to update the infrastructure.
That's a little more comforting to hear. If you commit a crime, you shouldn't be able to get away with it. Still don't like the fact that it's still possible...
I'd argue conspiracies have always been trending for more than a few years now, it's just they've reached mainstream now. If you're in the US they have definitely been a major part of the political culture here and is one of the reasons there is so much distrust in any authority. Sad to see though.
The more exposure the better (for better or worse). As the fediverse grows we gotta watch for the growing pains of becoming a large social media platform.
This goes for anyone in the fediverse, not just lemmy users. I am on kbin which may not have as much options as lemmy to migrate to, but I will also be looking out for instances that match my interests more.
Honestly as well meaning affirmative action is meant to be, it's arguably targeting the wrong thing, which rather than admitting based on race, it should be based on class. True diversity comes from people from different lifestyles, regardless of race, instead of all from the elite.
Good advice! I would argue the only downside is having to maintain your own email server. But that comes with the territory I guess. Any low-cost server hosting to consider?
Neat, so yams in the US refer to a sweet potato? Slightly related, but can you also explain the difference between Ube and Taro? I've had this conversation with my friends as well.
I read the title wrong and missed the last word, phew.
