Was it really Russia’s invasion, or just because the interest rates went up to prevent too much inflation after the COVID stimulus packages? Hard to imagine Russia had that much demand for software compared to the rest of the world.

Seems like a win for housing affordability and climate change though!

Sadly the new one is all I have memories of

Maybe not but there’s a good chance your town has a local bus system. Whether it’s any useful is another question, but it’s worth at least looking at the routes/schedules in case it’s one of the lucky few cities that’s kind of tried to make their bus system not suck.

Jodel? The app used exclusively by my coworkers to post memes about their job, and seemingly not much else?

Of course not, why would I click a link to a page that’s probably filled with ads, a cookie popup, and an email popup when I have other users to read it for me?

What does it explain, by the way?

How do you know it not just people who assume smoking only applies to tobacco and insist they never have, but instead smoke tons or weed? Or exclusively vape?

Because there are other things to talk about, and it’s depressing and not something the average citizen can really control on their own.

I really don’t care about whatever new crime against humanity they’re doing next, I just want to see Cities: Skylines content, or at least some mildly interesting discussions.

Doesn’t sound too different from Lemmy, except most users are radical left AND radical Linux users.

Why isn’t she called by her name then like every other candidate (and most other people)?

 

It's well-known that the US used to have a highly functional public transportation network that was dismantled for the car, but I'm really curious on the details of how that happened. Obviously there was National City Lines who dismantled streetcars and replaced them with buses, as well as interstate highway construction gutting cities, but I feel like there's a lot more detail and nuance that's missing.

Does anyone know of any books or other reading material that goes into the details of the decline? I'm hoping for something in-depth, think comparisons of big events vs ridership numbers vs average public transit speed, public opinion, ideally a case study on some actual cities. When the streetcars were ripped out, did the buses still provide adequate service, or was there a large decrease in frequency/quality? Were there frequency cuts later on? What happened when the private bus company inevitably went bankrupt? Did people without cars protest as service was cut, or were they left behind as people and jobs moved to suburbs, where service didn't exist to begin with? What did people in small towns without cars do?

 

Hello! My sister sent me some images on the .RW2 format, does anyone know any programs I should use to easily open/covert them to jpeg? Using Linux Mint if that helps.

I know this could easily be googled, but someday I'd like to imagine people tacking site:lemmy.world to their google searches instead of site:reddit.com

 

Weight limits for bicycles need to be higher and more transparent, especially if the majority of people want to use them.

 

It works with most websites, it syncs my bookmarks across computers, lets me reuse my existing Google account instead of needing to make a new one, and I really don't care about my data going to Google because I already give up my data in exchange for free services (which feels like a win-win).
