No country in the EU is a totalitarian dictatorship either we’ve worked out busses and footpaths, it’s not hard, your cities and counties still have planning offices, public servants decide these things. It makes little difference to the cost or scope of projects to design things so people can use them.

I think you’re grossly underestimating how expensive dragging your heels on climate is going to be for everyone. Changing infrastructure now is cheap in comparison. Your economy is going to be fucked by climate change regardless of what china does, there is no prisoners dilemma.

Yes, build the damn infrastructure, now. It’s not about perfect it’s about working toward a minimum viable output and electric cars miss that mark.

It’s not enough. Cutting transport emissions by two thirds is simply not enough. We can change planning now to make it hurt slightly less when we have to get rid of cars or we can continue the current path and leave a load of people stranded when the rug gets pulled, which do you think sounds better?

This is the most straightforward

I don’t know what OP used but I used Power Delete Suite

I never said we need to be perfect, you’re dismissing the argument to save your feelings.

I said we need to drive less. It’s not hard, it’s not perfect, and it’s the centre of most European planning efforts to mitigate climate change.

Electric cars are and industry solution to an industry problem, they’re not a reasonable response to climate change

Yes, we’re seeing the same chart. Now add a bicycle, or replace 60 stupid little Tesla’s with a bus.

We are not at a point where electric car ownership is a viable solution, we’re at least 20 years too late. Even the manufacturing cost us too great.

I don’t think they want that, they have a month before they have to come back with something or you can escalate it to a supervising body. Imagine getting taken to court because redditors flooded your GDPR response process

A lot of the time they’re niche specific, I would have found out about a lot of smaller sites from reddit and then just switched to searching them directly once I had a better understanding.

e.g. every second post in retro games subs was always “how much is this worth” and the answer is use pricecharting.com, analog camera subs or analog repair invariably reference butkus, there’s heaps of small archives, wikis and old community forums out there for anything you can imagine.

If there’s specific niches you’re interested in maybe ask in those forums here, they might be able to point you somewhere.

It’s not great is it? Reasonably we just need less vehicles

New response just dropped

It not being visible is a relatively recent online phenomenon that I think has lead to some negative feedback loops on social media.

I treat upvotes and downvotes like I used to treat thumbs up, or thanks, or kudos or whatever on much older platforms; a way to say “I agree” or “I disagree” without adding a crap comment that doesn’t add to discussion.

If you’re using it as a way to vote on what other people get to see that’s a reddit thing and this ain’t reddit.

Some analysts are waiting to see a withdrawal before they actually believe one is happening.

I’m willing to bet that they don’t actually know when a sub went private, just whether or not it currently is. I also would not be surprised if the emails are automated but going out in batches to spread the workload dealing with replies.

That is by far the best mod update and explaination I have read yet.

“People with no boundaries or employment rights have no idea what we do after work” - In Europe we have a right to disconnect, everyone I know is more than able to use it. This is not a technology issue, this is a rights and culture issue.

Poor Inbred!

ActivityPub is the underlying protocol both are built on - it’s what allows posts from lemmy to propagate and be interacted with on kbin and mastodon users comment on both via their existing accounts. Think of it as like email protocol but for social media.

You misunderstand the use of quotations here, they’re air quotes. Reddit has already met with an “expert” - the mods at r/blind would like them to meet with an accredited professional.

I don’t think accessibility is particularly good anywhere, but when software is open source, or failing that APIs free, people take things into their own hands and make it good. I read this in that context, even the fact Reddit would meet with community representatives rather than ask an “expert” is better than a lot of companies, though you would by the outcome if that is genuine or for optics.
