You don’t need 5 posts a day for a community to survive here. There’s not that many people on Lemmy, things are a bit slower paced.
I mod [email protected] and we’d be lucky to have one post per day, yet I think it’s still a relatively healthy community, with a decent amount of engagement on most posts.
This just made me imagine a modded Civic but with rockets.
Honestly, knowing people who mod Civics, I wouldn’t be surprised of this has already been done somewhere in the world.
Have you tried updating your BIOS? If your PC allows you to boot from a USB :P
I wasn’t talking about people on group rides, I’m talking about people using bikes as a means of transportation. I agree that people in group rides can sometimes be bothersome road users.
Red lights and stop signs are designed for cars and it’s honestly stupid to expect cyclists to treat them the same way. Studies have shown that treating stops as yields when on a bike is safer for all road users.
You should know that it doesn’t take “motor vehicle speeds” to cause a (serious) accident.
That’s not what I said. I was pointing out how your “swerve into a post because a cyclist ran a red light” is a dangerous situation made possible only by the presence of cars.
Cyclists on the whole break traffic laws a lot less than motorists.
Also, I love how your only example of “the dangers of cyclists” involves someone in a car having to react to a cyclist. If everyone is cycling, speeds are low enough to react and typically avoid collisions even if a potential conflict arises. The “forces someone to swerve” phenomenon mostly happens at the speed of motor vehicles.
Bicycle insurance and plates? Why? That makes zero sense. We have these for cars because cars are dangerous, not just for funsies. Bicycles don’t pose the same danger.
Walking… if you have time and physical ability, but who cares about that, right? It’s so cool and eco-friendly to say “just walk 20 minutes”.
Yeah it is cool and eco-friendly to walk 20 minutes (assuming one is able-bodied, as you mention.)
More trains, trams, bicycle and/or e-scooter rentals, walking (a mile is what, 20 minutes walk at most?)
OP linked to an image in the article rather than the article itself, lol
Hey OP, you can edit posts on Lemmy if you want to fix it!
I’m curious, what attracted you to the Conservatives prior to the Maple-MAGA movement?
If I were having high-stakes conversations, I might agree, but any slight delays in updates is unlikely to affect me. I’m not a high-stakes target of any sort.

I’m so fucking tired of Americans saying shit like “omg Canada as the 51st state would totally skew our elections Democrat, get owned Trump!”
The reality is, in any scenario where Canada gets annexed by the US, American democracy will not exist anymore by then. Even if there are fake elections, we’d most likely not be allowed to vote (à la Puerto Rico, as you point out).
I do appreciate someone pointing out how utterly enraged us Francophones would be if subjected to US rule.
I think you’re overestimating the tech savvyness of the average person :P
Paragraph 4.5 of Google Play’s Developer Distribution Agreement is a rather large barrier. I’ll paste it here:
4.5 You may not use Google Play to distribute or make available any Product that has a purpose that facilitates the distribution of software applications and games for use on Android devices outside of Google Play.
I’d wager the majority of Android users have never downloaded an application other than from the Google Play Store. Even among those who would try, a large amount of them would probably get scared off by the “unverified sources” popup Android gives you if you try to install an app not via the Play Store.
I’ve seen that Medium article shared here before and find it very unconvincing. While I agree that framing the Proton CEO as an evil Nazi lapdog is a bit much, here’s a comment I saw on Lemmy another time this was discussed that explains why the article is flawed better than I could.
They didn’t list alternative platforms, all of those are alternative frontends or apps for YouTube.
I just took an edible and it’s starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.
Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.
looks like their product is intended to feel as close to Microsoft as possible
Maybe that’s why they picked a name really easy to mistake for another office software suite, to mimic Microsoft’s atrocious naming schemes :P
You’re mistakenly assuming the attributes are binary, stuff like screen resolution, regions, languages all have many possible values to help narrow down and identify you. It really doesn’t take that many for you to be identifiable.
