Am I the only one who struggles with the idea of building highways?

I'm a hardcore fan of Cities Skylines 1 and have been playing it for several years now. One issue I have though is how I go about making a highway system. It seems so complex, I don't understand how I can connect place to place in a reasonable way and I feel like the only proper way to do it is to ravage through regions of my city to make massive interchanges and efficient routes. My strategy as a result is just using 6 lane roads as my "highways" and kinda just avoiding the idea of highways altogether. I'm so bad at it that my idea of creating an on/offramp is retrofitting roundabouts. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this and also how to get my mind thinking of the right ways to make good highways.

Is there some way to make Telepathy work with XMPP
  • First and foremost for the KDE 4 aesthetic Also Kaidan looked and felt pretty buggy on my system

  • Is there some way to make Telepathy work with XMPP

    I was able to install telepathy-gabble by adding the Debian Buster repos to my Debian Bookworm install and put in my credentials but it does not seem to allow me to change my status or start a new conversation. Is this even possible today?

    What are your favorite (FOSS if possible) launchers?
  • I love this launcher on my low ram (2GB) tablet, helps me squeeze out performance

  • Are there any Open Source apps for finding and deleting duplicate files?

    Hi Android Community, I previously used "DFCleaner" which was a free, ad-supported app that searched specified folders for duplicate files and let you preview and delete anything that it found. This app now bothers me with a consent form for ad tracking so I've ditched it in protest. Are there any open source alternatives to this app? I've tried looking in F-Droid but couldn't find anything relevant.

    Why has the iPod faded out of existence while e-readers are thriving?

    I've been fascinated by single-purpose devices such as iPods for music, flip-phones for communication, and e-readers for ebooks. Considering that my interest for these devices has reached an all-time high, I was wondering: Why has the iPod died out while e-readers continue to thrive and see growth? Don't they both serve the same purpose of allowing users to enjoy one (primary) form of entertainment? Aren't both types of devices easily replaceable by a modern smartphone or tablet today?
