Omg beautiful!!

I like that this article preemptively acknowledges that ebikes are not always the right transportation mode for every single thing, but they don't have to be. Too often whenever ebikes come up you get those people going "but what if I need to bring a couch which derails from the real point. It's like saying trains aren't an efficient way to move people because those people can't also move furniture.

There are still a lot of trips that can be replaced by ebikes and they can do more than most people probably realize

No, an e-bike is not going to get you to the beach. You’re not going to be able to transport a couch sectional. And it won’t work for your six-kid carpool to the soccer game. But there is no reason that a single vehicle needs to accomplish every transportation need. Use the car for the carpool, and use the e-bike for shorter trips in-town, to the pharmacy, out to dinner, to meet friends, or even to the grocery store, You’d be amazed what you can carry with the right equipment.

You can actually use messenger without a Facebook account which is what I do for the rare occasions I need that

Yeah I mostly use it for like product reviews/recommendations or like personal help topics. Not stuff where factual information is required

I think this is the beauty of decentralization is that individual servers can still maintain smaller communities and still be part of the broader network

I've seen a lot of posts about how having the same community across multiple servers is a bad thing, but I disagree for this reason (and others).

I just hope we draw the line somewhere and move on. Don't want another summer spent chasing targets that never come.

At least we're moving on from Kane. Seems like we already knew there was little hope there though

That's beautiful! Nothing beats fresh baked bread

I've found several good videos/channels on urbanists.video which is kind of specific to urbanism but still there's some good stuff. The videos have a lot lower production quality than most YouTube channels, but I actually kind of like how casual it is.

They're just making videos because they have something interesting/funny/educational to share and they're not out there trying to make money.

The problem isn't corporations trying to make a profit. The problem is corporations doing shitty things to make a profit.

Turning a free API into a paid one to cover costs and make profits isn't even that big of a deal. There are many paid APIs that are fairly priced. Except they had to make it prohibitively expensive to make most third party apps no longer viable

I think since it's a significant pay cut (reportedly) and no guarantees of being number 1 the negotiations are dragging on.

I think I remember even for his last deal when he pushed for such a high salary the negotiations went on for a while if I remember right.

My friend I have been playing Children of Morta and it's a pretty fun coop experience.

Whelp. Felt inevitable in a way. I'll just be glad when this ordeal is over and we can move on from the Glazers
