Where I live in Western Australia they’re not ripping bike lanes out per se, but existing bike infrastructure is just pitiful, and improvements are so painfully slow.
There’s just no cycling culture here. It’s considered a sport rather than a mode of transport.
It’s not really clear whether scooters are going to have a positive impact by increasing demand for this infrastructure, or a negative impact by increasing animosity towards anything which is not a car.
What does that really mean though?
Pretty sure any city would tell you that they’re doing their best to improve public transport.
The only question is whether their efforts would meet your subjective definition of “public transport first”.
I don’t even see the code. All I see is heading, emphasis, dot-points …
I just don’t see the point of obsidian et al.
Just use a directory structure and save markdown files in it.
There are many apps that are great editors for this structure on every platform. IDK exactly what obsidian does but many editors have zettelkasten (fancy cross links) functionality, just no fancy graph.
Ghostty + helix is the sexxy RN.
Hol up. Are notes stored in files in a directory structure or a single file? Just that you said “the file” so I’m wondering.
If so, that’s lock in.
That’s the whole point of markdown lmfao.
Yeah I don’t think either of them would care in the slightest about this type of polling.
Entirely predictable.
Trump was mocking the voting public on presidents day with that “Long live the king” quip.
That said, it’s just bonkers that 40% of voters feel like things are going in the right direction. Honestly the whole thing is cooked.
Yeah.
Sadly I think email will be with us for the foreseeable future. It’s broken, sure… but it’s just so fundamental to the web.
An alternative would need to be ubiquitous, and that seems unachievable.
There’s a number of problems with this.
It would only work if enough communities and instances adhered rigidly to similar editorial decisions about what is “political”. I don’t think that’s achievable.
Mods would have to do the heavy lifting in tagging/ untangling things.
It’s not going to be as simple to implement as you think.
Posts are already categorised by community. You can block the vast majority of political posts by blocking a few communities and users.
At times if filtered out keywords like Musk and Trump. You don’t really need to implement a feature for this. Just get posters to include a tag in the title of their post.
Looking at your other comments, you’re not going to be deterred by these criticisms, so my suggestion would be to find the git repo and create an issue to get some proper feedback from other contributors.
It’s 6 months old.
Reported on by some major news outlets.
AfD has form for doing exactly this kind of ambiguous gesture.
Old mate didn’t provide any fascinating insights into the manufacturing practices of soviet era communism, they just trotted out some meme-level anti-capitalist vibe-based hyperbole.
I’m not going to engage in a silly argument about the merits of communism as opposed to capitalism.
I don’t think the SPF / DKIM / DMARC stuff is overly complex nor the core of the problem.
In my case it was recipients with bonkers microsoft exchange servers that just had weird ideas about who should be sending them emails.
For example, one thing that tripped me up forever ago was grey listing. Apparently the receiving server just wouldn’t acknowledge the sending server for an arbitrary period of time, say 12 hours or so. Spam senders would usually give up long before then, while a legit server would keep trying because it’s legitimately trying to deliver an actual email.
So my email-in-a-box type self hosted set up was fine really. Compliant you might say. But to send emails to this one in a thousand recipient I had to investigate what was going on and reconfigure things to ensure their server would interact with mine.
Another thing that can happen is that spammers just put your email address in the “from” field and fire off a few million emails. Obviously the DKIM signatures and SPF won’t match but it still just makes your future legitimate emails look spammy. Having the credibility of a larger organisation goes a long way in this type of instance.
I’m absolutely in the “don’t self-host email” camp. That said, I think it could be done reliably if you wanted to use someone else’s SMTP server and let them worry about deliverability. As in, have your mx records on your domain route to your MTA and dovecot, but set your DKIM and SPF records to match a third party SMTP server. You could use mxroute as an SMTP server very cheaply. There are others like the email API type services. I still can’t think of why I’d want to self host with all this drama but just an idea I’ve heard.
Genuinely wondering what portion of conservative voters support something like this.
It seems kinda indefensible really.
If a cop is terminated from one agency due to misconduct, why would you want them employed by your local agency?
Sorry chief you might have embarrassed yourself a little here. No big thing. We’ve all done it (especially me).
Check out huggingface.
There’s heaps of models you can run locally. Some are hundreds of Gb in size but can be run on desktop level hardware without issue.
I have no idea about how LLMs work really so this is supposition, but suppose they need to review a gargantuan amount of text in order to compile a statistical model that can look up the likelihood of whatever word appearing next in a sentence.
So if you read the sentence “a b c d” 12 times you don’t need to store it 12 times to know that “d” is the most likely word to follow “a b c”.
I suspect I might regret engaging in this supposition because I’m probably about to be inundated with techbro’s telling me how wrong I am. Whatever. Have at me edge lords.
Indeed.
The whole mess seems to have gotten so much worse.
I think most places keep a brush in the toilet in a fancy caddy. That’s because the expectation is that everyone scrubs any skid marks before leaving.
I suspect that the plunger is to do with standard sewage pipe guage rather than just “shoddy” workmanship or whatever. That’s why bidet spray is more or less mandatory in South East Asia, the sewage pipes just aren’t wide enough to handle toilet paper.
Water bottles for bikes suffer from this.
You gotta get them really dried out really regularly.
Like if you only have one that you use every day it’s just going to get gross no matter what.
It needs to be bone dry for a few days to kill everything.
If you have 2 and switch once a week, the one that’s out of rotation will dry out and any funk will just die off.
Plenty of answers here but I don’t think anyone has answered this part:
So here’s my take …
Musk did the sig heil as a fuck you to everyone that doesn’t like him. That’s it.
They just won the election by basically lying, ignoring, and playing for time. They can literally do whatever the fuck they like for the next n years with impunity.
Imagine if Harris had won and in her victory speech said something like “Don’t worry Don, I’ll make sure they give you diapers in jail.” It would’ve been a low blow but we would’ve loved her for it because it’s poking fun at the conservatives for no other reason than to stir them up.
I think there’s another, longer conversation to be had about why racism (and by extension nazism) resonates with voters in 2025, but I’m too weary for that I think.
