It's this end of tipping culture?

That's kind of what is happening with Kim DotCom. He's been in New Zealand for years and never set foot in the US, but he is accused of conspiring to distribute pirated material that belongs to American corporations. He supposedly broke US law, while in New Zealand, and has never been to the US.

The link works now, but doesn't show the goal

Buses don't have their own lane on the Harbour Bridge.

Light Rail moves more people quicker, and does not get stuck in traffic.

Take out the road crossings, and take out the Light Rail tunnel from North Shore to Albany (instead convert the Northern Buswsy to Light Rail). With an improved PT corridor, you should expect to see less demand for the additional road crossing, and we should be thinking about more climate friendly options.

And the Light Rail plan from CBD to Mangere should be on the surface along Dominion Road. I don't get the obsession with tunnels. They are expensive and more difficult to access.

Not sure if you saw the news, but the BBC are experimenting with their own Mastadon instance. They can probably afford to host video.

I understand that many instances are run by volunteers and hobbyists. But that doesn't mean that a business such as BBC couldn't come and host their own instance.

And I don't think I implied that you wanted to ban video. I just want to see video integrated natively into Lemmy so that instances can turn it on or off. A Youtube link is no good. I don't like being rickrolled.

For the Deaf Community, their first language is Sign Language. I am Deaf myself, and I am privileged to be fluent in English, however I cannot say that my Deaf friends are also fluent in English. Many of them have the English level of an 8-year old (because of their poor education) so writing in English is not "Deaf-friendly"

Any plans to integrate video into posts and comments natively?

 

Are we able to post videos or images in the comments? I know that you can post a video in the post such as a sign language video, but are people able to respond with a video comment in sign language?

This will be a big deal breaker for the Deaf Community. At the moment the only option for many Deaf people is to use Facebook.

Waiting for the Climate Change Commission to shoot this proposal down.

They started with the Women's Football!

But at the end of the day, the result didn't go our way, and we've been eliminated 😭

Similar thing happened here in New Zealand where we are one of the co-hosts for the FIFA Women's World Cup. The sports segment started with a story about the night's rugby match between New Zealand and Australia.

They ended the sports segment talking about the Women's Football (soccer).

Now that the rugby game has completed, and tonight the New Zealand women's Football team are playing a must-win match Vs Switzerland, I'm very interested to see what the news segment starts off with tonight. Will it be tonight's women's football game, or highlights talking about last night's rugby?

 

Have been seeing plenty of old news articles popping up here. Is this someone from Reddit trying to undermine Lemmy as a source for up-to-date football news?

 

I have always wondered why the Melling line was not extended to connect with the Wairarapa line at Manor Park. Now it could be a possibility.

And we may have missed an opportunity to relocate the Melling Station onto the other side of the river on the Riverbank car park, closer to the Lower Hutt CBD. We could still retain the car parking as it is, and have the new station on raised platforms, with the cars below. But I'm not a geotechnical engineer.
