If you respect someone when they are alive you should respect them in death too. Only a troll would say they’re okay with people fucking their own dead mothers or mocking dead political enemies.

It’s still my body.

You wouldn’t condone necrophilia I’m guessing?

Why shouldn’t people be able to opt out? I opted out. This is my body not yours. We’re not all in this together.

People hate Linux because shows they aren’t computer experts, they’re just Windows power users.

My man be careful you are not constructing yourself an overly simplistic world view where everyone is a goodie or a baddie.

I support unionising in general but not for contractors. By definition contractors have agreed to do short term work according to a specific contract. Trying to negotiate the contract later seems dishonest. That’s a very different to a regular long-term open-ended employment contract where unionising makes sense.

Without a chronological feed or a feed of followers only, Threads is cluttered with extraneous content that gets in the way of what users want.

An article in the FT said this, and the missing direct messaging and hashtag stuff is all geared around the fact that Threads is merely a platform for brands and influencers/content creators. Threads can win since it doesn’t need to make a profit and it’s set up from the start to do revenue splitting.

Every website is looking at engagement to keep users whilst serving adverts. Before tik-tok that engagement came from socialising and online discussions. The social media era. Post tik-tok it’s literally just scrolling through mindless 10 second videos from small content creators and the directly social side is effectively second rate, and by design.

Hey Maybe I’m “ I just met you”.

This wasn’t my recollection. Git exploded the minute it was created, as a result of being created by Linus Torvalds. Before Git we had SVN and CVS, both insanely client-server products. Git is distributed.

Or Chrome

I had over 10,000 hours of Call of Duty 2 (2005 version). 4000 hours of the first Call of Duty Modern warfare and currently have 3600 hours of Csgo. It’s common to run into 6-8000 hour accounts in Csgo.

Anything less than 1000 hours in Csgo is considered new to the game still.

Yes. Login, Sign up or install the app.

Since we switched to Lemmy I removed the Reddit app and the Apollo app, but did occasionally browse a single subreddit in Firefox mobile app whilst not logged in. Now they’ve totally walled off the whole site. Ridiculous.

I think it’s all about what people will accept and autonomy exactly as you say. I don’t think people want to request or share buses/taxis, they want to jump into their tram car in a hurry without compromise.

For so many professions like builders etc, they’re going to want to keep tools in their trams or have other specialised trams. Repairmen can’t commute on shared buses with all their tools. You almost never see this at the moment.

I also think people don’t want to travel underground and that making those tunnels will be too expensive. For every on/off stop there needs to be a hole in the ground and air circulation. Alternatively the overground tram network suspended from an overhead rail can allows for paths to cross, bend and can be installed over the existing roads infrastructure before it is decommissioned. In places where it’s high enough pedestrians can ignore it or at ground level there can be an open bike/eScooter system like you suggest. It just requires steel poles like lamp posts to be put in down the middle of the road. Many busy roads already have lamp posts down the central partition.

This is what’s led me to my idea that a tram network full of people’s own trams. Poor and middle class people have cars already so owning your own tram feels like it will be too engrained across all levels of society. It’s also higher quality as people can choose their products. It creates competition between manufacturers. It makes delivering the whole solution cheaper and puts more costs on individuals rather than the government. In my mind a tram is a metal cage with an electric motorbikes engine and wheel at the top and some electronics to communicate with a central routing computer.

Anyway just interesting thoughts of a world that will likely never exist. It’s impossible to know what would and wouldn’t be necessary to make a better transport network.

As far as advertisers are concerned the case may as well be called the cookie jar.

I’ve used Debian Linux as my primary home desktop since 2005 and at work since 2008. I’ve never had a job that required a Windows machine and at this point it’s a deal breaker for me.

I specifically use Debian stable. In my first decade of using Linux I wanted the bleeding edge, cool stuff, but for me nothing interesting has happened to my machine since 2015.

IBM rocked up.

Don’t believe that IT guys have safe jobs. An IBM sales guy can promise to replace any developer or project with a better version. Happened twice to me now.

High speed trains aren’t practical for local transport. In my imaginary utopia we’d put poles down the middle of roads and suspend tram carts to them. People could own them, they’d drive themselves and even have drive ways. However by being suspended in the air, and driven by electrified rails itd be clean and safe and give us space on the ground to sit, play and have large shared spaces and gardens. Plus kids and coaches could be transported without a driver and stuff. In my own imagine the possibilities are endless.
