you know what else slows down ambulances? Congestion

I live near a school. Cars go way too fast and blast through intersections. Impeding the flow of car traffic is exactly what we need. I’d rather not require the ambulance in the first place.

Stop spreading FUD please.

For some reason people love to shit on Brave and turn a blind eye to mistakes made by Mozilla or problems with Firefox. Brave has had missteps in the past, as many projects have. This doesn’t make it “malware.”

It’s ok not to use it for ideological reasons - I don’t like their CEO either. But that doesn’t mean Brave is not a privacy browser or not a good browser.

I use this feature for snowflake

/e/ is not degoogled and security does not seem to be a priority for them. I wouldn’t recommend it. See the following comments from a divestos dev:

Fuck borders!

So true, I watched dune in theaters with my friends and half of us fell asleep lmao

There is on Voyager https://github.com/aeharding/voyager

Personally I’m ok with fuck cars being mainly a place for people to express their frustrations with how things are - I think that serves an important role.

I would also like to see places for more nuanced discussions about urbanism for those who are interested. I used to go to r/NotJustBikes for that, but haven’t seen any similar communities emerge on Lemmy.

It’s also well documented by strongtowns how car infrastructure specifically devastates local communities and bankrupts cities due to how exorbitantly expensive it is. Long car commutes may increase the GDP of a country, but local areas suffer.

This illustrates very well how broken our economic system is lol. What benefits “the economy” (GDP) is not what benefits real people/communities.

I’ll also add that while Fairphone markets that they suoport their phones for many years, the firmware of the Qualcomm SoC it ships with stops receiving updates after only a couple years. Your phone will not be secure after this point. Read more here:

Interesting - I just checked again today and it’s showing up on lemmy.world

TIL downvotes on Lemmy are public lol. That was honestly just a misclick tho, my bad

Definitely possible. The first one lasted nearly 30 years (until 2020), the second lasted less than a year and was still under warranty, and the third just broke a few weeks ago. My repair guy seems to think the replacement part he’s been able to get is just lower quality than the original.

I believe they are - in fact, Bosch acquired Gaggenau at some point. Unfortunately, it looks like both Bosch and Gaggenau discontinued the part :(

Miele vacuums are incredible. I have one that’s over 20 years old and still going strong. They’re still making accessories that fit it too!
