Illecors@lemmy.cafeto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Berlin: proposal to remove 30 km/h zones because air quality improved, thanks to 30 km/h zonesEnglish1·12 days agoSorry, it’s rare people are not asking for trouble here :)
I mean that any (reasonable) distance travelled at 90km/h will have consumed less fuel than that travelled at 30km/h; given the same car is used, reasonable gear is selected, etc, of course. If there is less fuel consumed, then, naturally, the emissions are lower as well, since that’s just a byproduct of combustion.
While travelling at 90km/h will consume more fuel per unit of time than at 30km/h, the speed increase makes up for that.

Illecors@lemmy.cafeto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Berlin: proposal to remove 30 km/h zones because air quality improved, thanks to 30 km/h zonesEnglish12·13 days agoIt’s a direct correlation. Emissions come from fuel burnt. Less fuel - lower emissions.
Illecors@lemmy.cafeto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Berlin: proposal to remove 30 km/h zones because air quality improved, thanks to 30 km/h zonesEnglish3·13 days agoFair enough on the part in bold.
As someone who lives in London, I can say it does come with a caveat - traffic system here are set up by chimpanzees. It makes no sense, none of the three groups - pedestrians, cyclists or drivers - get prioritised. None of the lights are interconnected, so all they bring is annoyance for everyone. I’m an occasional pedestrian, cycling commuter and a (mostly) weekend driver.
TLDR - no wonder the study found that.
Illecors@lemmy.cafeto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Berlin: proposal to remove 30 km/h zones because air quality improved, thanks to 30 km/h zonesEnglish37·13 days agoI don’t really understand this. Air quality is not affected if it’s electric cars. If it’s about ICE cars - then, in general, efficiency goes up till ~90km/h.
I feel like the limit was lowered for a fake reason and is now suggested to be brought back up for a bad one.
I think looking for a parking space in what is, effectively, a lorry - is a bit of a waste of energy. It will only fit into >=4 spots anyway, might as well just stop wherever you need. You’ll be a hated by everyone anyway.
Not taking a piss - are they legal in EU to drive on a B cat license?

Illecors@lemmy.cafeto Fediverse@lemmy.world•What happened to the fediverse stats here?English19·23 days agoInatances self report these stats. All you have to do is a single db query and all of a sudden you have 100 million MAU.
There is no AI.
What’s sold as an expert is actually a delusional graduate.
There’s a wonderful android app called Imagepipe. Does a few things, but stripping exif data is one of them. Workflow is also great!
I realise that won’t help against people simply recognising your cat, but it’s useful for protection against bots and stuff.
Tell me you don’t understand what you’re talking about without saying you don’t understand what you’re talking about.
Illecors@lemmy.cafeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Your help needed: PhD research on why people choose to self-hostEnglish12·1 month agoFilled in the survey. A few notes:
- Some of my answers make no sense on the surface - like the “experiment with new technology” block (4 questions). I’ve answered “Agree” to all of them, because I have taken time into account, which is not represented on the questions. Long story short - I do love experimenting with new tech, I’m almost always the first one to try something among my peers, but at the same I never blindly jump in (I’m hesitant) as most of the “new technology” is just
- Someone repackaging foss and relabeling it
- Some LLM bullshit
- An inferior product to what already exists
There are also scenarios where I have already found something that’s the best solution for my case, so I won’t even bother looking at something new, even if it might be the best thing since sliced bread for someone else.
-
TIme and effort setting up/maintaining (4 questions). It doesn’t take much time nor effort to set anything up now, but it did when I was starting out initially. I knew very little and a bunch of concepts hadn’t clicked, yet, so it took me days to set up Nextcloud and about half a year (on and off. Probably a week or so if it were all squeezed together) for email.
-
The performance and intent to use in the future questions are weird - they feel like the same question, just leveling off in intensity. I’ve selected the same answer for all of them. They probably should’ve been a single question with agree/disagree options swapped for intensity levels.
Good luck with your PhD!

Quick note for hosting one on a residential IP - that would no longer piss any ISP off. You would simply not deliver anything anywhere due to IP being blacklisted by default.
Illecors@lemmy.cafeto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.English2·2 months agoI’ll give Magic Earth a go, but osmand is just missing a bunch of stuff I got used to having I guess. The actual map part is fine.
I use DAVx⁵ myself. It’s not ideal aesthetically, but honestly not a thing I worry about.
Illecors@lemmy.cafeto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.English7·2 months agoI’ve been hoping for one for some time, but it wouldn’t be a smooth sailing even if everything was perfect. Get a pixel, install grapheneos and see if you can cope with it. I’ve been running it for a year now - lack of decent map app is my biggest issue that’s left. Waze is great for driving, but useless for everything else; it’s also owned by google. Most other apps are just reskinned google maps and don’t even load without gapps.
And I’m a sysadmin. My degoogling journey began in 2018-2019 with running my own nextcloud for files, photo backup, contact and calendar sync, as well as my own email server. All that to say that I’ve had it fairly easy to ditch play store on a phone, but that’s not what most will experience.
It was, but it’s been back for some years now
Huh TIL. Thought it was cock.
