There hasn’t been a non disappointing android release since KitKat.

Misuse lol. People need to get their panties out of their butthole. You build a photo generator and get mad when someone uses it to make a picture of Marx with tits. Who cares? Crybabies can cry about it.

They want to make everything impossible to fix. They want to turn our land into landfills and fleece us of our income.

Climate change or no, electric fan or no, anyone with self respect would rather buy a 1990 beater than a new car, they’re user and owner hostile.

Are they including kiwi’s extensions support? I know Bromite and others would not maintain it.

I don’t really agree, cars are for moving people around. People can move themselves around. Trucks are for moving things, they’re tools. I have a truck, I need it. Not all the time, but enough of the time that I have one. It doesn’t make sense for me to have 2 cars so I just drive it. Although I do agree they’re getting too fucking big. I’ve got an older heavy duty pickup truck and the thing is the size of a new “small” pickup, it’s a bit absurd.

The internet is fine.

Listen. The era of algorithms and automated aggregators and what not feeding you endless interesting content is over. Before that we read blogs, we shared them on Usenet and IRC, we had webrings. We engaged in communities and the content we were exposed to was human curated. That is coming back. If we can quit it with the hackernews bot spam on Lemmy, it can be one of those places. You need to find niche forums that interest you that are invite only and start talking to people. The future of the internet is human.

VIN locking and any attempt at anything like it should be illegal, full stop.

Yeah I won’t have another cat. They don’t deserve to be kept cooped up but they are pretty destructive.

Believe it or not, most animals live outside.

If you won’t clean a litter box you aren’t fit to care for an indoor cat.

I had a cat that I adopted from some piece of shit that was bad to him. He always wanted to go outside like a lot of cats, was enamored with it when the door opened. So I let him. This was a choice I made, I knew life for an outside cat was harder but he was happier, and he was neutered so I let him go outside. I never had to change litter, he went outside every time. But it came with a price: he died early from being bit by a snake or something. I always knew it was a possibility but I knew my cat, he would’ve been miserable cooped up all the time. He was a free soul.

So you have a choice: clean a litter box every day, without fail, even if you hate it, or let your cat go outside whenever he wants. He will get beaten up by other cats, stuck in trees, attacked by wild animals, he will not come home sometimes for 2 days, he will come home sometimes looking like he got the shit beat out of him by another cat. You have to make sure he doesn’t get picked up by the pound, that your apartments won’t flip out on you or get him picked up, and he could get run over by a car. Maybe he won’t like being outside, in which case it’s not an option, you’re cleaning a litter box. Or, if you can’t deal with either, don’t have a cat. Someone who won’t clean a litter box has no business having a cat, go shit and piss in the corner of your bedroom and leave it there and see how happy you are with that state of affairs, that’s what you do to your cat being a lazy bum.

Care to share an STL for that? The modern western silverware drawer contains more than forks spoons and knives, there are soup boats, chopsticks, rice cooker scoops and all sorts of other things, compound that with the fact that the organizers on the market have to have broad utility which deminishes utility, and as a result they don’t hardly work for anyone, including me. I think your organizer is perfect.

Hmm curious.

Well that’s my point. But the fuck cars people in here want to get rid of cars. Personally I’d like to live a life where I never need to drive a car, but that’s infeasible even in a perfect world for a lot of people and that’s all I’m saying.

I think the solution is trails that run into towns from outlying areas, where there even are downtowns, for cycling or walking or whatever, allowing slower moving motorized and non motorized transportation on rural roadways with minimal restrictions. For really rural areas where there are no downtowns, I don’t think you can do anything but let people get around the way they want to.

OK, I get that, but where does the bus go? It goes somewhere right? It’s not about “oh look a a bus stop” it’s about the actual transportation itself.

I’ve said this in reference to the UK, but the same applies to the Netherlands. You cannot compare rural Europe with rural north America. Europe is very densely populated by American standards, you can drive a hundred miles here and not see a house. We aren’t talking about small towns, you can make small towns walkable, cyclable, I agree. But their size and density makes them easily walkable and cyclable already. The problem is getting from your 5 acres 10 miles away from the downtown. Rural Europe is more comparable to suburban America, which I would totally agree, needs better transportation infrastructure.

The Netherlands is a wonderful place, but you just can’t take their model and apply it to Nevada or Wyoming. There are towns of 1 in Wyoming that are 50 miles from the nearest town. You can put a bus stop in if you want, it won’t take you anywhere. People don’t realize how large and sparsely populated north america is.

But you need cars for those places, which means you need parking lots downtown for those people. That traffic in downtown, where you you think it comes from? Those 1 or 2 cars driving down that dirt road, they’re driving somewhere or from somewhere. The dirt roads meet at a main thoroughfare, paved, that takes them downtown.

How much did you pay for the eyes?

address car centricism in rural places

only talk about downtown

Most of what goes on in a rural place is far away from downtowns. People don’t live in downtown, people live on rural plots of land miles away from downtowns, on dirt roads and things. That’s what you’d be addressing talking about car dominated rural areas. How do you get to the very walkable downtown? A train that takes you the next state over is not what we are really talking about when comparing to cities with trams and busses and subways.

As far as the mention of sustainable infrastructure, I’m in agreement with this guy. Rural downtowns are dying because of bad planning. You have to funnel people through the downtown for the land to maintain value, not build 70mph bypasses. But rural areas, not just the downtowns but the whole rural area surrounding it, are not going to be adequately traversable with busses and trains. Bicycles, sure, it takes a long time but it is doable. Walking, alright, but it’s a lot of work and can be hours to get a few miles, people just aren’t going to do it. Even before cars, people stayed on their land and only went into town every few weeks to do business, and took a horse and buggy along a road.

Personally I think federation is overrated, and that the server > community model Lemmy adopted is not ideal. I used to think federation was the solution to Reddit, and that being able to post on disparate forums with one account was the way to go. I still see benefits to it, but I don’t think it’s right for every community.
