First of all, that reads more like an advertisement than an article.
Second, the problem with a non-electric cargo bike is that even if the bike itself is lightweight, the stuff you’re trying to carry on it often isn’t. Unless you live somewhere absolutely flat, you’re still gonna want electric assist.
Pretty neat, though.
Sorry for the lack of pics, but I’ve got:
The attempt to be instance-neutral by using a fedia.io link breaks my ability to view the post in Voyager, causing it to open a browser instead. Kind of ironic, since using my lemmy.world account to view a thread in a lemmy.world community otherwise should’ve been the simplest case to handle.
I’m not sure I’d call it “relaxing,” but It’s definitely easy mode.
Of course, that’s why so many of the losers among us go off the right-wing/incel deep end: if you’re living on easy mode and you still manage to fail, you’ve got nobody to blame but yourself. But they can’t handle that either, so they go fucking insane desperately trying to find scapegoats.
My reaction to somebody leaving a bike on my property would be “ooh, I’ve been gifted a free bike!”
The other mistake is car-dependency.
KDE does that too.
Why would you pollard an olive tree?
Good thing we’ve got bnetd to save us!
…oh wait.
The kernel is copyleft (100% of it).
Technically, sort of, but GPLv2 isn’t good enough. Stuff has to be GPLv3 (or AGPLv3) to fulfill the intent of protecting the end user’s right to control their machine. That’s the essential thing people are looking for when they choose “Linux” — if it’s a tyrant device like a smart TV that’s subverted to work against the user by showing ads or whatever, nobody gives a shit if it’s running a Linux kernel because that fact doesn’t actually help them usurp the manufacturer’s control.
Usurpation of control is what “GNU/Linux” implies. The fine details of which software has what license isn’t the point; whether the system as a whole delivers on the promise of user freedom is.
“Get your car out of the bike lane” gets 'em real mad every time.
I should hope it would be, because those antennas don’t fit in my rack and wouldn’t be appropriate even if they did (because I have separate WAPs distributed across the house via PoE).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_(comic_book)#Cultural_impact_and_legacy
Boasting a nearly eight-decade run, Archie is widely regarded as an iconic staple of pop culture.[21][22] The series is credited with codifying several of the archetypes found in subsequent teen and young adult media, such as: the girl next door, the mean girl, the popular jock, and most importantly, the love triangle;[23][24] the dynamic between Betty, Veronica, and Archie is perhaps the most referenced and lampooned example of this particular trope in media.[25]

Yes, they’re going to do something even if we don’t react. But no, it’s not necessarily martial law. I feel like people aren’t understanding what “plausible” martial law and the Insurrection Act invocation will really mean. It can and will get unimaginably worse, for not just those who choose it, but for millions of innocent people. It’s possible we can’t avoid that, eventually, but the rational choice is certainly to do what we can to avoid it.
No, it’s not necessarily the rational choice. Not if, for example, delaying to act causes us to lose in the long run, e.g. by giving the fascists more time to shift that Overton window slowly enough. In fact, you yourself acknowledge that in another part of your comment: that we have a limited window of opportunity before hypernormalization kicks in, and we’d better not squander it.
IMO Jupyter notebooks are a good example to look into first, if you want something more contemporary and somewhat widely-used than “tangle and weave.”
Welp, looks like the car-brains have gone full mask-off in Czechia. I always knew they were terrible people, but I wasn’t expecting to read an article making the connection quite so strongly today.
As Turek’s image as a tough guy with an expensive taste in cars shows, Motorists mainly represent younger men living in smaller towns, often dependent on cars and the automotive industry.

The group’s representatives often praise self-discipline, healthy lifestyles…
LOL, pretending car-dependency is a “healthy lifestyle.” All reading that makes me think of is how utterly fucking weak, pathetic, and generally inferior those losers must be compared to folks living an actually healthy and disciplined lifestyle.
It would require 3D printers sold in New York to include technology that blocks the unlicensed production of firearms and gun parts. It would also make it a crime to possess, sell or distribute digital blueprints for printing illegal guns.
This is an attack on my property rights as a 3D printer owner, never mind the Second Amendment (or First Amendment, for that matter). In practice, this would essentially require all 3D printers to have closed-source, DRM’d firmware and almost certainly spy on you. It is way, way more authoritarian than people only thinking in terms of “gun violence” likely give it credit for.
Also never mind that “is this 3D model a gun?” is an absurd thing to have a computer try to figure out, even with the recent advances in machine learning. That goes double if you care about things like distinguishing a gun that would actually shoot bullets from a water gun, nerf gun, or other vaguely gun-shaped nonfunctional object (which any frothing-at-the-mouth jackbooted thug who would stoop to supporting this clearly wouldn’t). And even then, guns are fundamentally simple devices made from multiple parts – is it going to SWAT you for printing a cylinder because it might be a gun barrel?!
This proposal is dangerously insane in every conceivable way, and probably several other ways I haven’t even thought of yet.
Also Weyoun, when the kanar is poisoned.
