I share space with pedestrians every day on multi use paths. I think bikes and pedestrians are perfectly compatible.

It's really just the cars that don't seem compatible with anything else...

Yeah take away Saidin and Rand is still a master swordsman. He was shielded and killed was able to kill 2 warders, one of them unarmed and the other with the first one's weapon.

I think GRRM did admit he was taking the piss a bit with that one to be fair to him

He also wrote a short story in which 1 armed Jaimie bested Rand al Thor. You can't take him seriously

Hexbear is mostly just trolls in my experience. They like to brigade any discussion involving Russia, China, Ukraine, etc.

Lemmy.ml is full of tankies that will also go out of their way to defend Russia and China but they aren't just blatant trolls which is the difference.

Having controversial opinions isn't the problem, trolling and brigading are

I honestly think a lot of these terms of service agreements are legally unenforceable, but they don't get contested in court very often.

Like if they say "you consented to the arbitration agreement" I could just argue I never physically signed anything and it was actually my 5 year old who agreed so he could watch TV.

Guess it just depends but I see a lot of people interacting on certain topics and a lot of posts I make get a good amount of activity. I get way more interaction on my posts than I had on Twitter for instance.

It acts similar to a VPN connection and is able to block network requests to tracking sites/APIs.

Lemmy and Kbin should be pretty interoperable, but Lemmy and Mastodon don't federate particularly well, or at least, the user experience of federation is not great. The formats are just very different since Mastodon doesn't have much of a concept of groups or communities and doesn't have post titles and so on.

But you can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon and posts to the community will show up in your Mastodon feed, and you can boost, favorite (upvote), and comment on the post.

Proton drive is end to end encrypted so all your files are kept private

I didn't say they were right, but I can imagine that's why a lot of them put that.

There's a local bar near me that was trying to get a zoning variance to replace their surface parking lot with outdoor seating and a bunch of people who lived nearby showed up to complain about "noise". It's pretty ridiculous we require parking for a bar at all to be honest.

Probably people don't want to live near a bar because of the other side effects, like drunken people and noise issues. But yeah walk it transit to the bar is the way

My retired mother was trying to look for a new Nintendo Switch dock for my niece. She asked me if she was looking at the right one on Amazon and showed me one with a picture of a real looking Nintendo Switch dock except the logo was blurred out.

I scrolled through the Amazon results and was having trouble figuring which was the real one. instead I went to the official Nintendo store and sent her the link to the switch dock from there.

Amazon is really a horrible user experience for buying anything that isn't cheap junk.

My fridge is designed to store food and has multiple shelves and drawers. My counters are a flat surface area and I'd rather keep them clear for active uses like cutting, prepping, etc.

There are also appliances competing for space on the counter like coffee machines

I guess there's the pantry but it's also just that I'm used to keeping them in the fridge and it's not like it hurts them to go in the fridge.

Anyway, point is it's really not that weird to keep them in the fridge

I still put farm fresh eggs in my fridge because it's just a lot more convenient to store eggs in the fridge than on my counter where I have more limited space

I live in a major American city maybe 4 miles from downtown and I have a farm with fresh eggs and produce a block from my house.

I don't understand the tab hoarder mentality. I can't stand having too many tabs open it makes everyone disorganized and less useful.

My workflow is to open random links and searches in private tabs and then when I'm done with the search I just close the window and they're all gone. I also split subsequt searches up into multiple private windows with a few tabs each so once I find what I need on one search I can close those and have the ones I'm still using ready. If there's something I need to reference later I can move it over to the regular browser window or bookmark it.

Makes it easier to manage and doesn't get out of hand that way.

Just peeking at the source code and it all looks like pretty standard stuff. Looks just like apps I've worked on at several jobs.

Is it sexy? No. But a lot of people have experience with this and could help develop.

Only time will tell if this project pays off though

Hard to find exactly that with a Google search but here's an example of roughly what I was talking about

Not hard to imagine doing the same but with bike lanes and sidewalks

Yup, if a school bus is coming then everyone going the other way better slow down and watch out!

It's about not making it fit "comfortably", not that it can't fit at all. Drivers who feel uncomfortable naturally slow down and pay more attention.
