Where are you getting this 5% number?

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 month ago

Unpopular opinion, I agree.

It'll prob get him votes depressingly, so I guess he's not wrong to do so

But it's a shame that we've let the auto industry brainwash so many people into thinking bigger and bigger car infrastructure is the only solution

Dude's banking on getting votes from people who don't know how traffic works

Sorry but this is wildly oversimplified. I walk and take an e-scooter almost exclusively and couldn't possibly hope to gather all the information about my city happenings.

Proposed plans by my councillors are often not posted on posters or billboard on my street, and the ones that are may not give me sufficient detail.

And aside from politics, cafe's a 60min+ walk away are never going to be advertising their events on my street lol.

Also yes of course far more people should go to council meeting in-person, but often work or other responsibilities can get in the way.

You realize you’re shaming people on Lemmy, the people who clearly already support a more privacy centric and less profit-driven approach to social media.

We don’t live in a Utopia where all 7 billion people have already followed suit, and shaming won’t help. Providing a welcoming community will.

lol what a silly statement.

I like being up to date on what my city councillors are doing, events my local cafes host, local art exhibits, etc. Things that have tangible benefits to my community.

If you can convince them all to share that content on Mastodon be my guest :)

Reddit has communities without active alternatives here 🤷

I have switched to using a WPA version with Adblock

For staying up to date on my local shops and events, Facebook is just the easiest and more reliable option.

Not sure we should be shaming people about what social media they use lol

How would you handle apartment buildings?

Making them all Condo’s possible I suppose but, there’d be a lot of poorly maintained buildings no one would want to actually own part of

Yea this isn't really believable to me for most cities.

In my Canadian city: "While each of the locations would have different operating budgets, the average annual cost is almost $111,759 per bed."

I don't get it

 

I have one Android and one iPhone for fun and like to switch back and forth.

Due to this I largely prefer Telegram as Signal can't be simultaneously logged in on both. Is this feature likely in the works or is there something that inherently makes it difficult/impossible?

 

Testing a Samsung phone after using a Pixel. When charging overnight, the Pixel charges to 80%, then pauses until soon before I have my alarm set.

Does Samsung have a feature like this? I don't see it

 

Bought on Amazon for about 800 less than MSRP, not sure why it was that "cheap" (still expensive) but I decided to give it a shot

Pros:

  • I've always been a huge tablet lover, so having one in my pocket for when I'm on the bus or at work is amazing

  • Everyone knows it's great for selfies, but an advantage I see mentioned less often is how great it is for doing Makeup! Being able to zoom in 3x on my eyes and have it remain clear is amazing for putting on eye liner, I'd argue even better than a mirror

  • Multitasking is excellent and intuitive

  • The front screen's skinniness is better once you get used to it, altho if you're a big-phone person you simply may not like it

Cons:

  • Camera system is behind other modern flagships

  • Screen-anxiety is definitely a thing I worry about. Feels great so far but I've heard enough negative stories to be nervous

That's about it, with no worries about durability and a better camera it'd be about perfect

 

Nice to see more companies taking this kinda concept seriously (altho if concerts weren't obnoxiously loud it wouldn't be necessary :D )

I wonder if some headphone reviewers will be able to measure the FR of these vs competitors like Vibes and Etymonic

 

A minor bug but, often when I scroll vertically, I somehow end up registering a horizontal swipe on posts leading to a Downvote or Save.

Anyone else get this? I'm on a Pixel

 

Total noob, but I set up TrueNAS/Nextcloud on an old laptop and it's working great locally.

What would be the easiest secure way to access my files remotely from my phone and/or laptop?

 

Is this an option that exists or could be added in the future?

30% off would make the pricing feel less steep

Quake Pro League Championship-Final Day is live now, top 6 players left. The format is 1v1 Duel

If you aren't familiar, Quake Champions is a free-to-play shooter on Steam and, in my opinion the best fps Esport. If you log in now you'll get a free Quake Con 2023 skin :)
