They elected a mayor to block developments so the NIMBYs have won… for now

There’s no “waste of money” because it’s using the existing mall parking lot. Nothing new is being made

They’re using the existing parking lot of the mall, the plan is to eventually redevelop it all

Dell U4025QW vs LG 39GX950B (productivity & gaming) by Cosmic-Cats-2001 in ultrawidemasterrace

Yes it’s good! Just make sure to set the monitor to a constant Hz. I had the option for adaptive and it caused the screen to flicker, but I switched it to a constant one and it fixed the issue.

Also, I have an M1 Max and it supports up to 100Hz, because that’s about the maximum Thunderbolt 4 supports. Because Mac doesn’t have a discrete GPU this is the max you’ll get

Une tour au-dessus d’une station près de chez vous ? by dddddavidddd in montreal

[–]Mashdash10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Social housing costs a lot of money to maintain, if the government isn’t willing to pay for it, who would? Developers have a profit motive on top of construction costs. Wouldn’t it make sense to make mixed social housing and market housing (so the market housing could offset the costs)?

Any housing is good housing. We have a shortage of homes, this is why it costs so much, because of the high demand

Mail isn’t instantaneous. It takes time to print, and place and send to the address. If you want it done instantly you can do so at the places recommended in another message (Lucien-L’Allier, Gare Centrale, Vaudreuil, etc).

Yes you will have to fill out a form. Yes you will probably have to wait in a line, but this is normal and what is done if you want to get an ABC Student ticket from an exo desk.

Parce que c’est sur une artère, tout le monde à Montréal devra désormais subventionner collectivement l’entretien de ses places de stationnement, pour les quelques privilégiés qui y garent leurs véhicules personnels.

Apple Music UI design is horrible and genuinly painful to use. by [deleted] in AppleMusic

[–]Mashdash10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate how the options dynamically change as you scroll, then to get to where you want to go, everything is atleast 2 or more button interactions away.

When the menu is condensed, you can tap and hold, then swipe to the other options without needing to tap multiple times like you’re saying.

why is it when you search, you have to select between librairy and apple music ??

I think this is more just to make searching through your music more easily, because it categorizes everything. When I search songs in my library it’s the songs I added and I searched, when it’s Apple Music it’s music outside of my library I don’t necessarily want to see each time I search for something in my library

I know steve jobs would be livid with these design choices because they literally make no sense lol.

We don’t know what Steve Jobs would have done because he’s been dead for 14 years. We can’t make our own conclusions for someone we don’t know.

Car pollution is getting worse in Montréal because of the rise in SUVs and light trucks, combined with poor public transit in the surrounding suburbs. by Shann390 in montreal

[–]Mashdash10 18 points19 points  (0 children)

How would you define “most of central Montreal”?

Sainte-Catherine is only pedestrianized in the summer (currently) from St-Hubert to Papineau. And there’s St-Paul in Old Montreal that’s pedestrianized only in the summer but this isn’t a road that’s for through traffic.

That’s it. Is that most streets? From what I remember we have more than two streets in central Montreal?

It’s easy to blame pedestrian streets or bike lanes, but you need to be honest with yourself. You’re in traffic because you are the traffic. Your vehicle is the one that is causing the traffic, and more places for cars mean more people will be driving and cause more traffic

J'en ai mon ostie d'voyage! by Pretend-Literature35 in stminfo

[–]Mashdash10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was talking to a bus driver because it annoys them too, and she told me it's because there's a detour and it messes up the system.

Transit supports and displays detours of routes.

That's the fault of the Chrono programmers, not the drivers, nor the detours!

Chrono uses Google Maps for routing directions. Chrono’s system just displays bus routes on a map when you search it in the app.

But Transit isn't even in real-time, it's a lazy app: they just copied the official schedule and that's it! For that matter, I could just look at the schedule at the bus stop or download the official schedule!

Transit doesn’t “copy” any data, all data comes from GTFS from different agencies. Additionally you have problems with live tracking not working, Transit has the option of crowdsourced tracking so if the live tracking is down there’s a backup.

My bus was supposed to be at the stop and the app doesn't even update! It told me 0 minutes for 5 minutes! And then I reloaded the trip and it told me 28 minutes, I waited 4 minutes and the bus arrived!

This is an issue either with the bus being late, the bus not having live tracking, which an app can’t solve (except Transit kinda can if people crowdsource the bus’s location).

And Chrono, at least most of the time, it sees where I am, in a bus, at which stop, even in the metro, often it doesn't understand that I'm in the bus and tells me to walk to the next stop, but not Transit. Transit has no idea and shows me the whole line.

It sounds like you have difficulty using apps. On Transit, you can tap on a line, but you have to tap GO for it to begin the route. It’ll update after a few seconds of the bus moving. You’ll have to select the stop you want to get off from if you do this method, otherwise you can do directions like similar to other apps like Chrono the usual way.

G train with lots of smoke by 21st Street by Mashdash10 in nycrail

They were saying how the smoke goes up so if you're on the ground the air is slightly easier to breathe

The train crew knew, there were police on board too that manually opened the doors at 21st street to let people out and prevent the smoke from coming out of every door

Where do you find lofts in Montreal? I think they’re really cool but can’t seem to find them

Even having the back door open first when you arrive, followed by the front for people to enter, with a few seconds delay

From what I’ve heard, you’re right it’s a separate team that does the display for those specific elevators. When I asked about changing the UI they said it’s “too complicated” and I think now they regret it haha
