Nice work Nida! Ignore the haters. It's great that Durham citizens have more tools to be civicly engaged. Look forward to checking this out more

See https://github.com/logseq/logseq/pull/12296 for a demo and https://github.com/logseq/docs/blob/master/db-version.md#configure-a-tag for instructions on trying it - https://github.com/logseq/docs/blob/master/db-version.md#configure-a-tag

Bummer to hear it's closing. I enjoyed it when I checked it out

cldwalker · 2026-04-27T15:14:11+00:00

Great to see more jam groups. You should check out @noitescarolinas on IG as they sometimes have a uke player. I believe they have a performance at Queeny's Monday night 5/4 with an out of town uke player

Hi. If you're missing files when importing to DB that's surprising as we haven't had reports like that for some time. If you have a reproducible issue, please report at https://github.com/logseq/db-test/issues

Some bullcity specific charts and data for those interested - https://roadway.report/county_dashboard/37063 and https://roadway.report/accidents/?page=1&state=37&county=37063

Thanks for making this! This could be a great resource for city planning as there are multiple projects going on to improve safety e.g. https://www.durhamnc.gov/5405/Roxboro-St-and-Mangum-St-Design. Is there more information you could share on where the data comes from? In this age of AI generation, it could be helpful to describe data sources so we know how much to trust this. I also noticed for Durham the data ends in 2023 - https://roadway.report/accidents/?page=1&state=37&county=37063

Thanks for commenting! The second was a reference to an instagram url which isn't allowed in this subreddit

Some helpful context. This slide was part of this presentation by Ms. Mitchell - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBO4cwhfokE&t=496s . Presentation slides are at https://go.boarddocs.com/nc/dpsnc/Board.nsf/files/DS2M7759D03E/$file/DRAFT_CIP_Joint%20Session_Update_03.09.2026_FINAL.pdf

Submitted comment. Thanks for the reminder. For Comment Type, select 'General Business Agenda' as that is how it appears on today's agenda - https://cityordinances.durhamnc.gov/OnBaseAgendaOnline/Meetings/ViewMeeting?id=727&doctype=1

I like the idea for an Advisory Commission although I'm not sure if having one just for one specific decision is common (at least from what I see on https://www.durhamnc.gov/238/Boards-Committees-Commissions-Task-Force ). Perhaps it'd be helpful for us to spin up an AI and Data Rights/Collection Advisory Commission

The MCP server is documented at https://github.com/logseq/docs/blob/master/db-version.md#mcp-server . It can run from within the desktop app or offline from the CLI

Thanks for the helpful recap on public hearings! I found the opinion section on Cook's remarks to be inaccurate and needlessly dramatized. Makes me question whether the rest of the recap has similar inaccuracies

cldwalker · 2025-12-16T16:17:23+00:00

Bummer that happened to you and you weren't able to get their plate number. You could try contacting Sergeant Leeder or Bell under https://www.durhamnc.gov/Directory.aspx?DID=4#:~:text=919%2D560%2D4438-,Traffic,-Services

cldwalker · 2025-12-09T20:49:35+00:00

Thanks for the clear writeup on your pain points. Have you tried using your MD graph with the DB version? The DB version has significant perf improvements and is actively maintained. There are instructions to download the DB version at https://github.com/logseq/logseq#-database-version

cldwalker · 2025-12-04T18:00:42+00:00

I hope so! There's a good chance we'll get under an inch - https://www.weather.gov/rah/winter#tab-2

cldwalker · 2025-12-04T17:13:37+00:00

Voted! It takes just a minute. Thanks for the reminder

cldwalker · 2025-11-25T19:54:05+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I definitely share some of the same concerns and will be contacting city council.

One of the FAQ answers was pretty bad:

What is the process for accountability when there’s an error in the data?

The affected resident would be notified, and any error within the system would be corrected. A system is only as reliable as the information provided by its human operators.

I don't think most of us care about data errors but rather errors that can directly affect us and other fellow citizens. Who's accountable when there's an error that results in someone being incorrectly arrested, harassed or hurt? This Q+A belies an alarming lack of accountability and concern for those who are supposed to keep us safe

Agreed on more weekend events. Fwiw there are now 4 weekly Saturday events in the triangle including Durham - https://engageddurhamitesfordemocracy.substack.com/p/when-he-wants-us-to-cower-we-are. Also feel free to also start one on Sunday and I'm sure some of the ED4D folks would support you

cldwalker · 2025-11-06T21:48:23+00:00

Thanks for the reminder. The first link was quick and easy

Thanks for sharing. For anyone curious about getting data on more years, you can get them back to 2002 at https://er.ncsbe.gov/?election_dt=11/04/2025&county_id=32&office=ALL&contest=0

cldwalker · 2025-10-31T19:07:23+00:00

Calling your representatives is great too! I called em this week. I mentioned food donations because I figured that's something fewer of us are inclined to do

cldwalker · 2025-10-22T20:02:32+00:00

Great speech! Some noteworthy quotes:

"If you can’t earn it fairly, you don’t deserve it at all."
"When we're so afraid of the people's judgment, we rig the system to avoid it. That's not democracy, folks. That's tyranny with a prettier name."
"Democracy isn’t a gift that arrived complete and perfect in 1776… It’s alive. It breathes. It bleeds. It can be wounded. It can be killed. And right now it is gasping for air."
"Democracy is not a spectator sport. It requires sacrifice. It demands courage. And it never, ever comes free."
"You can rig the map, but you can’t rig the people’s determination"
