  • 2001: A Space Odyssey

  • Ford looks to restrict Municipalities ability to create bicycle lanes
  • It'll prob get him votes depressingly, so I guess he's not wrong to do so

    But it's a shame that we've let the auto industry brainwash so many people into thinking bigger and bigger car infrastructure is the only solution

  • Dude's banking on getting votes from people who don't know how traffic works

    Made a thread about what other social media Lemmings use, and I was shocked by the amount of Meta platforms in the replies.
  • Sorry but this is wildly oversimplified. I walk and take an e-scooter almost exclusively and couldn't possibly hope to gather all the information about my city happenings.

    Proposed plans by my councillors are often not posted on posters or billboard on my street, and the ones that are may not give me sufficient detail.

    And aside from politics, cafe's a 60min+ walk away are never going to be advertising their events on my street lol.

    Also yes of course far more people should go to council meeting in-person, but often work or other responsibilities can get in the way.

  • You realize you’re shaming people on Lemmy, the people who clearly already support a more privacy centric and less profit-driven approach to social media.

    We don’t live in a Utopia where all 7 billion people have already followed suit, and shaming won’t help. Providing a welcoming community will.

  • lol what a silly statement.

    I like being up to date on what my city councillors are doing, events my local cafes host, local art exhibits, etc. Things that have tangible benefits to my community.

    If you can convince them all to share that content on Mastodon be my guest :)

  • For staying up to date on my local shops and events, Facebook is just the easiest and more reliable option.

    Not sure we should be shaming people about what social media they use lol

  • Harris to endorse protections for renters and removal of key tax benefits for Wall St. investors buying homes
  • How would you handle apartment buildings?

    Making them all Condo’s possible I suppose but, there’d be a lot of poorly maintained buildings no one would want to actually own part of

  • How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?
  • One recommendation is a food tracking app. Personally I use MacroFactor, which gives custom calorie intake recommendations based on how fast/slow you're losing/gaining weight.

    This is great as it allows you to select a slow, healthy, sustainable weight loss speed and the calories are simply adjusted to match that (weighing in regularly will be necessary)

  • The Best Encrypted Messengers in 2024
  • Only big difference I noticed is it allowed me to log in on 2 phones simultaneously

  • Agreed. I go reasonably often but, should prob go even more

  • Got a Point
  • An hour walk is prob a 20 min bike ride

  • You're getting downvoted by people I suspect never vote in their municiple elections

  • I think they're only a bad value if you only use the treadmill. If you use a wide variety of the machines and free weights, it feels pretty practical

  • It's movie night. You don't know who's coming but you have to pick a movie everyone vibes with. What do you choose?
  • The Trueman Show is super fun and seems pretty widely likable

  • How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?
  • As a complete noob trying to make A TrueNAS server, none and then suddenly lots when idk how to fix something that broke

    Has city hall already outgrown its own blueprint for growth, the London Plan?
    lfpress.com Has city hall already outgrown its own blueprint for growth, the London Plan?

    The growth of London is happening so fast, the city's population has hit its own estimate for 2031 seven years early. That's prompting some within city hall to push for more review of the municipality's blueprint for growth.

    The right edge of my trackpad is physically higher lifted than the left edge which feels quite sunken.

    Do creators still get Watch-Rev from views with Premium-accounts?

    I sub to YT Premium.

    If I log in on Grayjay and 'Provide YT Activity', will creators get the watch revenue from me?

    Do you really need to do dedicated 'leg' or 'arm' days?

    I've been going to the gym for a few months, still feel like a noob tho.

    I track what exercises I do, weight & reps, etc, and try to rotate between the different exercises I enjoy.

    However I don't do leg-centric days or anything like that, I just try and do a variety each week and not go too long without exercising specific areas. Is that bad?

    Molly background use?

    Why does Molly tend to always run as a background service when Signal didn't? Doesn't seem to use much more battery so I guess it's no biggy, just curious

    Best battery I've ever gotten on a phone (Fold 5)

    Left Samsung due to poor battery to Pixel, which was an upgrade but the Fold is a big step ahead again.

    Will post Pixel 7 Pro in comments for context
