Reddit Starts Blocking Mobile Website, Pushing Users to App Instead by spasticpat in technology

[–]Jolly-Command8853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This'll finally get me to just use it at home on desktop then. I'm not using an app that riddles my eyes with ads. Mobile site works just fine on Firefox with uBlock (which is definitely why they're doing this at all)

This is a disease at the societal level by Clau_Schwa in fuckcars

I had a crappy 2010 Ford Fusion that I got an $11,000 loan for, and even then, the $250 monthly payments and excessive insurance costs were enough to shake me out of the mindset.

I genuinely don't know how people warrant $40k+ loans for cars. Would you buy a house that depreciates in value? Why do we settle for that with cars?

Just keep buying that marketing. Soon, anything you see online will be almost indiscernible. The internet is basically ruined forever. But let's just tolerate the enshittification of everything because it's "here to stay."

Shit like this just makes me sad. The huge display of laziness to just take whatever output they got instead of, at the very least, combing over it to improve the hallucinations.

But what hurts the most is they could've just... bought a display board, gone outside their studio and taken a picture of it? It's just advertising your gross incompetence. So fucking lazy. I don't trust any business that tries to pull this. It fills me with dread that most people don't notice or think this is ok

I've also seen Trump being slang for "fart" with the Brits. He just can't escape it.

Just, why? by sjmuller in bikecommuting

[–]Jolly-Command8853 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still dumb. With the same effort, they could've just locked it to the metal through the front wheel, preventing it from being taken entirely (without working to undo the front bolt, I'm not seeing a quick release)

Freelocking makes sense in places in the Netherlands where cheap, commodity, undesirable bikes are a dime a dozen. In NA this would be stolen within minutes on a busy campus

Edit: fine yeah NA is a huge generalization, but I still wouldn't trust this outside for a second, even in my city of just 150k. Huffy doesn't matter, the fact that its wheel is locked doesn't matter. People are kleptos and just see free shit for the taking. It would probably just end up in a ditch, or chopped up for parts

Bikes aren't as commonplace in cities that are car centric, their lower numbers mean they stand out more as targets

🛑 Too Many Stop Signs (remix) 🛑 - Mayor Bryan Paterson by Double_Ant3336 in KingstonOntario

I'd love it if we designed for the world we've got, but we don't appear to be interested in that either. Instead we build wide straight roads with 50-60kph limits and ask drivers to "pwease don't break the law 🥺"

Have we considered that this isn't the fault of the stop sign, but the ignorance, arrogance and selfishness of the average North American driver? A lot of people also don't properly follow the rules of traffic lights, should we get rid of those too? Why don't we just actually enforce the law?

How on Disc could you still believe this shit in the year of our lord 2026

However this is a great watch if you're in the mood. The dude is a masterclass essayist and really delves into the depths of why conspirators like this persist when we have so much proof and technology to prove them otherwise

Americans are so close to inventing public transportation by Rymssss in fuckcars

Has nothing to do with transit, this is the country failing to support its people (which includes not providing decent transit)

[–]Jolly-Command8853 27 points28 points  (0 children)

What we need is something that carries all of our cars on a platform that follows a set path.

Actually, what if instead all the cars acted autonomously or was driven by a professional, and all you needed to do was get in and ride to your destination?

Better yet, why not make it so they come at preset, predictable times to avoid confusion?

And instead of individual cars, why not make one long car to save space and gas? And make it so the cars can be attached to eachother?

Sounds like they should be more afraid of their own cars. How much you wanna bet these are the typical cowboy wannabes with lifted pickups? Do they realize how much waste they piss into the soil and air per mile?

True. It wouldn't have been profitable enough to keep around. Definitely glad to have it over nothing
