  • He's also studied a lot of revolutions and it all fits in with the sort of things that have happened in all of those revolutions. So it's strangely believable

  • How are you pro-bike and anti-bike lane???

    Jump

  • I'm all for separated bike lanes etc. They're nicer and safer than riding on the road. however when that doesn't exist the safest way to ride is to behave like a car, so holding the leave etc. Otherwise people try to squeeze past you or your less visible and it gets really dangerous

  • Nobody takes a train from Germany to France

    Jump

  • I'm from Australia and wouldn't have been able to confidently say there wasn't a tunnel between Ireland and England. There are long tunnels in a few places and one there wouldn't be too surprising to me

  • Here Is Everything That Has Changed Since Congestion Pricing Started in New York

    Jump

  • However trams are a hell of a lot slower moving than a subway because they still have to deal with surface intersections etc. When there's a good subway system it makes transit really fast, much faster than trams

  • Hammerheads sharkz

    Jump

  • They're little sea puppies that are perfectly happy to cruise around while you swim with them. At least that's the grey nurse sharks we get in aus. The ones you're describing sound more like wobbegongs or similar. The grey nurses need to be in highly oxygenated water.

    Grey nurses also used to have a rep as "man eaters" but that was just because of how they looked,not any actual attacks

  • Solar will get too cheap to connect to the power grid.

    Jump

  • I'm assuming for large scale commercial solar

  • Battlefield 1 will now include EA's kernel-level anti-cheat, making the game unplayable on Linux

    Jump

  • It's also better than v and much much better than 2042. It's a pretty fun arcadey shooter, with a very non toxic player base

  • Kim Dotcom to be extradited from New Zealand to US

    Jump

  • Yeah I'm kinda with you. If you're becoming filthy rich off selling access to content others made then you're fair game. If you're just doing it for yourself / not profiting it's a very different ball game though

  • DNA on weapons implicates ex-U.S. Green Beret in attempted Venezuelan coup, federal officials say

    Jump

  • I think the current thing is quite likely an organic uprising. Things have been very very broken in Venezuela for a while now and the people there aren't happy. Lots of people have been fleeing to Colombia for a while now and there are solid signs the election results were made up.

  • What's Some Tech That Was Better Than It Is Now?

    Jump

  • Over the past 5 years the monthly road deaths here in aus have been going up, because of the prevalence of those massive cars

  • It's time to stop thinking plastic phones can't be premium

    Jump

  • Nah, it's mostly because all the tech reviewers trashed phones with plastic backs saying they felt cheap. If you look at any of those reviews they always talk about the premium feel.

    It also changed from aluminium to glass backs mostly for wireless charging.

    Plastic backs are better, but the tech reviewers did a lot of damage there. If they'd tried to influence people and explained why particular made sense instead of trashing it we may have more plastic phones.

  • Leaded fuel still used in small private planes in UK (2022)

    Jump

  • If they aren't absolutely essential for some important societal function the aircraft should just be grounded rather than be allowed to fly on leaded. No one's toy or joy ride should be giving thousands of people lead poisoning

  • Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91%

    Jump

  • Buying the shares is cheap if the company is worth nothing /goes bankrupt from fines for their environmental breaches

  • Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91%

    Jump

  • Fining the shit out of them for their many many environmental breaches. Then when they're bankrupt, re-nationalise them for cheap.

  • To date, what do you think is the greatest invention or discovery and why?

    Jump

  • Yep, I was talking to my grandpa about what invention his parents thought was the most significant in their lifetime, and they had said the radio. They had lived through both world wars which had brought about many many inventions and that was the one they thought was most significant.

    Up to that time news was incredibly slow and you couldn't put what was going on on the other side of the country without a massive delay, let alone the world.

  • Why I Lost Faith in Kagi

    Jump

  • I mean, that seems like a really sceptical way to live. Often things get shilled because people are just happy with the service and think the business is doing things well. I am a kagi user and have brought it up to some others, including outside of lemmy, because I find it produces better search results than ddg etc. And it's a definite step up from google in privacy

  • consider the implications for a post scarcity future

    Jump

  • It still takes upfront investment. that's easy if you're wealthy but a lot harder if you're pay check to pay check + there's no reason landlords would do it. part of it is the high resolution pricing data, but we need more than just that

  • consider the implications for a post scarcity future

    Jump

  • That and incentivise smart devices like water heaters that run when power is cheap, which is effectively a rudimentary battery

  • Three monitors, and i feel insulted

    Jump

  • And brown poop fans
