I’d say “you gotta move the workforce efficiently” but… well, if that was the case the world would be trains.

I’ll see what I can do. Things like mass transportation should be relevant in this area with a noticeable population and construction growth, but there’s an underlying facet that most of the “room” that was at some time in the past thought of for setting up two train lines, was already used to construct bikeways because the train projects were taking too long to even get past proposal stage. In our situation people want to see things that can be done fast, and historically here train is not one of them.

Whether technology is inherently bad is of nearly no matter. The problem we’re dealing with is the technologies with exherent badness.

Yeah that part might be true, although I don’t think they’ve made it as bad as plane seats yet

Yeah from what I hear now that I’m asking around, we’re not even close XD.

Thanks. Fortunately, there is actually a (one) light rail project under study, it just happens to not cover my general area. Hopefully if it goes ahead and works, it’d mean there’ll be more. But it has my support in the meantime!

I take the bus home after a long day of work. Among the last things I want is stand; if I wanted to, I’d actually demand it be treated as paid overtime. Fuck terminal capitalism.

And yes I meant manspreading. I had to edit when I realized some 5 minutes after the fact.

Probably I would but I can’t realistically pay for a plane ticket in this economy lol.

Oh well I’ll never know.

But I did fit in older buses without issues, which means the buses are being shrinkflationed for capitalism. (I can’t have grown 8 cm in one year yet kept using the same clothes, can I?)

Don’t sing the buses any praises yet. The dark incentive to carry more people means the seats are quite rigid, vertical, bad quality and narrow in both directions. All in the name of transporting people like cattle (and for pretty much the same purpose). I can’t sit in my city’s new buses because my legs literally don’t fit on the seat to the knees before hitting the next seat, even if I manspread. Have been asking around if other people are having this issue because I intend to file a legal case.

Knowing him, he probably decided to solve that one with a water hose.

And that’s why my “necessary life skill” cooking lifehack is to just know that if you cook something big enough, it’ll last you enough portions for two or three days without that much extra cooking work. And you’ll only have to clean the cooking pot half (or one third) of the time.

Reminds me of this gem

$15000 is rookie numbers.

I can offer $150 for one!

I mean, “compares as bad” is comparable, right? :p

Isn’t it dangerous now that PDFs can run javascript? (Who had that idiotic idea, anyway?)

Despite the failures (or needs-of-improvement) of the current federation model, it is absolutely safe against that. Federation is copies, not links.

Well, that’s just about as good news as can be in the current tech climate, in particular considering programs like VLC and KeePass are getting this visibility.

Please at least (or, well, at most) make it 8.1…

Something like catching the oppressors for public displays and having some guillotines around would also help. The MAGA dipshits are only proud when they are hiding behind their online handles or protected by the safety of “I was just following orders”, but I severely doubt they’d flaunt their principles that much when stuck with the IRL consequences of their actions addressed at their names and faces (and necks).

I have some people at a client’s still happily using 8.1 (but hey, at least they’re not using 7!).

And, to be frank, if they had to stay on Windows I’d prefer they stay on 8.1 anyway. What with 10 requiring the online accounts or adding start menu adds or removing the interfaces of the Control Panel and everything else.
