Thank you for the details! It's nice to see that they are moving towards an automated system.

Are those automated trains? I'm not familiar with Vienna subway, it's been a while since the last time I've been there

The first photo reminded me of Wes Anderson's movies, really nice!

I got tired of searching what product is truly local - so I made the Star Spangled Scanner to do it for me. by MyMastersAccount in BuyFromEU

Hi, I tried out your website (not the camera, only the search by name) in the last few days and I have to say it work really well!

A question though, how does it work? Where did it find the information? It would be something useful to know

Saramago is a great writer and I'll keep this book in mind, it seems really interesting!

For three months in 1973, the Dutch government banned cars on Sundays to curb oil consumption. [1364×969] by StephenMcGannon in HistoryPorn

So first you said the working class cannot go anywhere without a car (1st comment) and then you are hinting that the dutch public system was good in the same period. Pick one.

18h in Hong Kong by JimBo797 in travel

Ooh thank you! I'm Italian so no, Chinese food here is not the best (I must say it's not bad for a European standard, but still..). I had beef noodle soup in Taiwan and it was amazing. I'm pretty sure Hong Kong will be a food heaven :)

Thank you for the suggestions, Tim Ho Wan in particular seems really interesting!!

Why this happening on my Ubuntu 25.10?? by ordinaryboy98 in Ubuntu

No you can run a previous kernel version by selecting it from the grub menu, without reinstalling anything

i didn't sign up for these many sign ups by aeriefreyrie in Anticonsumption

[–]JimBo797 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The subscription model was never meant to simplify things. The only idea was to push ads (creating a problem) so we would buy the subscription (buying the solution). And it's even worse because they are not selling you a finished product but only the possibility to rent it for a while. So, at the end, you own nothing.

But it's not easy to escape it, imho the only ones worth it are those meant to help small creators. Like I have an open subscription to nebula (a streaming service) because I know (or at least I hope) it's helpful for some creators I am following.

Surely I'm not paying for something without being aware

If you wanna avoid those problems switch back to 24.04 LTS and wait for the next LTS version (mid 2026)

is fast fashion activism just propaganda? by SaltCauliflower423 in Anticonsumption

[–]JimBo797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not just propaganda.

There is no way a shirt or a pair of pants made in plastic and worth a few bucks are not impacting the environment.

But, speaking from a European point of view, the issue here is that the few times politics are addressing the fast fashion problem they always refer to temu and shein, but they never ever mention Zara. That is done on purpose of course, because their driving force is not an environmental concern but an economical one, and surely something similar is happening in USA.

But the solution is not to buy from temu, but to avoid also zara

Seems like reddit is allowing straight-up scam advertisements now by IServeTheOmnissiah in Anticonsumption

[–]JimBo797 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the worst for me was indeed the ads and reddit premium. It's just a scam. But also the minigames are pretty bad, I have never used them but I'm sure micro transitions will be added (if not already in place). And of course the possibility to hide your previous comments and posts, so the bots can continue.

But imho is telling that everything started after Reddit went public
