  • Reverse traffic pyramid

    Jump

  • A small nuance is that car sharing is usually better than taxis. A taxi is driving around empty around half the time and has an average occupancy below 1.0. With car share, all the mileage involves moving people to places

  • European sodas?

    Jump

  • Noooooo! My world is a lie

  • European sodas?

  • Orangina is the first that comes to mind. Almost definitively French

  • Like a foodbank but for mobile data, the National Databank provides free mobile SIM cards for people in the UK who can’t access the internet

    Jump

  • In this case it's a SIM you don't have to pay for and it has credit on it

  • Newsom's budget includes $200 million to make up for Trump's canceled EV rebates, among other climate items

    Jump

  • Indeed. And let's not forget that these budgets are all effectively handouts to the car industry (which created all the problems in the first place)

  • Like a foodbank but for mobile data, the National Databank provides free mobile SIM cards for people in the UK who can’t access the internet

    Jump

  • If anyone needs this, you should be able to walk into any O2 shop and just ask for a SIM, no questions asked

  • Deleted

  • And Wales (for better and for worse)

  • A lot, I'd reckon

    Jump

  • Cars kill more than 3500 people every day and we don't seem to care. This hand is benevolent by comparison

  • Why does everyone put celery in soup stock?

    Jump

  • I like celery, but am really interested to learn the answer here. The other ingredient that gets added to everything is onions. Fwiw I know the answer to that one: they're full of sugar. "First, soften some onions..." is basically a way of adding sweetness to food

  • Disengage, Disconnect, Block, Filter

    Jump

  • I'm a huge Bluesky user and I don't understand this post at all. Bluesky has a strong Block feature, which I use liberally to avoid trolls and people I don't want to engage with, but I don't know what's being referenced here

  • linux based video recording

    Jump

  • Motion is also really useful for capturing security camera footage. It's more specialised for this task than ffmpeg so could work here

  • Fairphone open sources software for Fairphone 5, 6, and the Moments switch

    Jump

  • I'm excited to see what people do with the Moments button, because at the moment I barely use it. It'd be great to find an imaginative use for it

  • ‘The Chinese will not pause’: Volvo and Polestar bosses urge EU to stick to 2035 new petrol car ban

    Jump

  • At every given moment you're carrying around a very heavy extra motor and a very heavy extra fuel supply. Hybrids aren't the answer, unless the question is "How can we carry on selling more cars without really changing anything?"

  • Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out

    Jump

  • Step 1: get people used to unquestioningly accepting whatever the chatbot spits out as fact Step 2: start spitting out whatever the highest bidder pays for

  • RECALL WARNING: CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using Batteries for E-Bikes from Rad Power Bikes Due to Fire Hazard; Risk of Serious Injury or Death

    Jump

  • Current US government is apparently there to sell fossil fuels and enforce car dependency. As such, making it difficult to offer alternatives seems like a logical step

  • Question for the community that hates Ai

    Jump

  • I'm actually not convinced by even the first example you give. I've yet to read an "AI" summary of a meeting that felt like a good summary. I presume it's because they lack any concepts and are purely going off which words trigger other words, and so don't have a way to check the value of relevance of what's being logged as a person would

  • The AI that we'll have after AI (Doctorow)

    Jump

  • Cue 8 paragraphs of "I first learned to cook potatoes with my grandfather back in..." and every reader screaming "Oh my god just get to the recipe..."

  • Britain should be wary of BYD: From Thailand to Brazil, imports from China's EV producer have the familiar pattern of being followed by the destruction of domestic jobs

    Jump

  • The Spectator is a terrible news source, and this article is a good example of why. What domestic car industry do they think we have in the UK that is threatened by Byd selling EVs here? Indian-owned Land Rover (who don't make EVs anyway)? German-owned Mini?

  • Leaked Car Industry Paper: Carmakers’ EU Demands Would Cut EV Sales In Half

    Jump

  • While "less sick" is technically "healthier", if you live near a highway you really should be thinking in terms of degrees of sickness, because that thing will be harming you. Also, consider how your life expectancy is being reduced considerably thanks to vehicle noise, which is barely different between ICE and EVs at highway speeds

    Why do comment counts often disagree with what I see?
