On the one hand, the risks associated with different modes of transport are incommensurate. A car that runs a red light can cause serious or even fatal injuries. A cyclist, on the other hand, is unlikely to cause the same degree of damage.

The fuck? They may not cause the same degree of damage, but they’re gonna get fucked up by a car that is following the law and has a green light if the two meet in an intersection…

This whole thing seems like it’s less a case of “bikers should run lights” and more a case of “cities need to be reviewed and many intersections should be updated with yield signs or traffic circles.”

So how long until Lunduke does a video about how this software has GoNe WoKe?

Tbf I always assumed that anyway.

To my knowledge, the money doesn’t go back into the municipality. On top of that, it vehicles tend to end up doing like 10km UNDER the limit. They also serve no purpose at 3am when there’s nobody out, but those cameras are still rolling.

We really need to stop putting so much focus on people speeding and start aggressively ticketing people that drive in the wrong lane, impede traffic, don’t use a blinker, rush left turns on red lights, and drive while distracted. These people are the real nightmares I’m forced to share a road with. The people that I tend to see speeding are generally predictable. The ones weaving through traffic wouldn’t exist if people didn’t camp in the inside lane.

This is all not to mention the number of speed limits that have gone DOWN over the last 5 years when people were already struggling to do the original limit, now they’re going even slower.

We should be dealing with real problems, not worrying about people doing 60 in a 50, or 100 in a 50 at 3am when there’s literally nobody out. Likewise, pedestrians should be doing better to be aware of their surroundings, not cutting out in traffic, and not crossing roads with headphones on and/or focused more on their phone than their surroundings.

Speed cameras are a colossal waste of money, so I’m fine with him doing away with them.

Dropping bike lanes is fucking stupid all around though

We could, but right now we’re not and we have a whole lot of government shit backed up on Azure and likely AWS servers.

Cloud data storage and services.

Oh sorry, just pasting my vim window

The problem is that I don’t think any of those work in Insert mode, and I hope I’m about to be proven wrong lol

Might have to set a custom keybind for that one to chain ctrl+right/ctrl+left to throw a :b e after

Thx for the protip… Now all I need to do is learn how to quit it. 🤣

• ctrl + left/right move by word

I will forever hate the way vim moves by the start of the word and not the end of the word… The number of times I want to remove the last letter/s of a word at the end of a line and end up on the next line is too damn high.

Also, don’t forget about ctrl + w to delete a full word.

softwares

Was this always a word? I’ve heard and seen it a lot recently but I could have sworn the plural of software was still software.

The only time I’ve seen it close to being pluralized differently was “warez”

Yeah, but isn’t Alberta a Canadian province pretending to be American? Do the two cancel out?

Having a segregated portion of the sidewalk for human-powered wheel transport makes so much sense though. I drive and walk most places, but looking at the amount of morons who park in bike lanes or struggle to stay in their lane on the road… Having the bikes, scooters, etc. Move to a separated part of the sidewalk makes so much sense.

I assume most of them are just interference bots.

All I’m saying is don’t get comfortable and complacent in what we have now. A sudden flood of funding can do wonders to enshitify something good.

And back in the day we had CMD that was pretty powerful. Things are great now but if Linux sees a huge flock of new users, and they become the status quo then we could be in trouble.

Worst case scenario: widows goes tits-up and everybody flocks to Linux. Solid ground for a potential commerical swing to happen.

It’s almost mind-blowing how people still rely on Azure, Windows, and MS Office for really sensitive shit. Like, MS might as well be an arm of the US Government if they aren’t already. All the foreign governments storing sensitive shit in Azure servers is just fucking wild to me. So what if the data centres are stored outside of the USA? The parent company is still the parent company.

My biggest concern is the whole “removing powerful features = user friendliness!” mentality that these big tech companies have been pushing for years.

Why make users smarter when you can make software worse and charge more for it?

The dummies don’t get the bigger picture, they just see “nobody needs powerful features that make things too confusing for me!” My hope is that they don’t flood Linux with this drivel - profit margin or not, it’s a toxic cultre that has already been created in commercial software.

I hope this doesn’t mean the enshitifcaiton of Linux as we start to cater for people who don’t want to learn… We watched it with Microsoft products, though they also had a profitable reason to nerf their software.
