it still doesn't work with a whole load of software even with Wine.
I don't think being able to run programs designed and compiled for windows is a requirement to be considered a usable os. For example, you can not run safari on windows. Does this mean windows doesn't count as a usable os?
I think the definition of useable should be that software exists that can do the kind of things you want to do on your computer. In that sense, Linux is perfecty useable on the desktop, at least for people who have similar computing requirements to me.
Ebike subsidies take no time. Increaseing bus frequencies is a bit faster (depending on local job markets). Painting bike gutters is pretty fast. Putting some traffic cones for modal filters is pretty fast.
It's true that this change will be tough for poor people who bought cars in the short term. But it's good for poor people who didn't buy cars in the short term (which is a lot of people with the most need). And good for all poor people in the long term.
If you want to help poor people, subsidizing an antisocial form of transportation that some poor people use is not a good choice.
Making cars mandatory fucks over working class people.
The government should stop subsidizing driving and put that money into a form of transportation that doesn't require 10k a year for citizens to participate.
I think your problem is that you aren't pointing PowerShell at the right folder. You can use the cd command to get to the right folder containing the python script and config file.
It's not too bad, it seems more difficult because I added all the steps. Changing the folder PowerShell is looking at is easy to do, but hard to explain.
install the python package requests by pasting the following command into powershell: py -m pip install --user requests
Use the python interpreter to interpret your python
first make sure powershell is looking at the correct folder. One way to do this is to open the lemmy_migrate-1.1.0 folder in windows explorer. right click on the box that shows you the path, and copy the text. then write cd in powershell. This path will very likely be something like C:\\Users\Wu9fee\Downloads\lemmy_migrate-1.1.0. If you don't want to copy and paste the path from explorer, you can just do cd Downloads then cd lemmy_migrate-1.1.0
Finaly, you can run the python command with py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini
Let me know if you run into any problems.
If you can pull this off, you can officially say you know how to code.
What problem are you having? Ive been using the 2nd gen for years, and didn't notice any problems, except more xruns than I think ought to happen. But it's hard to know what to blame for xruns.
First, edit the .ini file with your lemmy servers, usernames and passwords.
Then make sure you have python interpreter with requests installed. You can check this with python3 -m pip show requests. if it says something like package not found, you should look into how to install python requests on your operatation system. If you downloaded it from python.org, python3 -m pip install --user requests should work.
Then you can do python3 lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini. Let me know if you run into any problems!
It would be possible to have a fully decentralized Lemmy. For example, just have everyone self host an instance and perhaps change how caching works. But there's a downside of being harder for users to use and more duplation of moderation.
Federation is a balance between the decentralization and centralization
That was a good episode. Environmentalist ought to fight the interstate highway system and promote passenger rail. Especially at our national parks.
I remember visiting Joshua Tree and dreading the parts of the hike where it runs parallel to the road. It would be awesome if they replaced the road with a train, or even just redesigned it for a 20 mph speed limit.
Is temporary posts the feature you're looking for?
One weakness of open platforms like activitypub is that it's hard to ensure that your post is deleted. A bad actor can make a permanent copy of data they receive through activitypub.
I disagree with some of your criticisms of this community:
Netherlands have a GDP greater than every US state except for 4 of them
Walkable cities are cheaper than car infrastructure. Lots of good work was done by Urban3 demonstrates this be calculating the tax income vs tax burden of city blocks. For example, here is their analysis of my city: Eugene Oregon
I disagree. Lots of developed countries in Europe and Asia have desirable urban disign. In fact, I would argue that the USA is uniquely bad. Heres a graph from vision zero:
But for the meat and potatos:
If you like spreadsheets presented as a youtube video: you should check out citynerd. Here's a video where he lists cities with affordable, walkable neighborhoods: 10 Walkable US Cities That Won't Bankrupt You. Spoiler: Pittsburgh wins.
I think that parking reforms is the best way to move away from car dependency, and these are being mandated in the state of Oregon, which has also had urban growth boundaries for a long time.
Theres an interesting argument by Chuck Mahron against speed cameras: https://podcast.strongtowns.org/e/the-arguments-for-speed-cameras%e2%80%a6and-why-they-don-t-hold-up/
The core of his argument is that it's bad to punish normal behavior, instead you should just do traffic calming, even cheap traffic calming
