Yeah, for me some of it is that I got more nuanced and forgot the places I used to be black and white / aim for a harsh burn. Not that I'm not still ignorant with plenty of black and what thinking.
And I think that besides people chasing upvotes, there is also more organising of movements online and by pushing issues into ethical framings that demonise the other side you create anger that keeps a movement going and can be directed but then large groups lose the ability to talk with nuance about that topic
Have you ever tried writing a scrapper. I have for offline reference material. You'll make a mistake like that a few times and know but there are sure to be other times you don't notice. I usually only want a relatively small site (say a Khan Academy lesson which doesn't save text offline, just videos) and put in a large delay between requests but I'll still come back after thinking I have it down and it's thrashed something
I think the only hard part is choosing what server to setup your account on. Just link to the one you're on and they don't really need to know the complicated part exists
Yeah, agreed the Europe case just kinda works. And yeah, there are plenty of countries with big broad roads and they're mostly hostile to bikes.
I still think there is a bit of overemphasis on infrastructure over culture. If you can look out for bikes and cars on a windy road you can on a better road. And trucks are pretty cultural. At least the large ones. Its pretty frustrating how well the US exports culture because they're becoming more common around the world
I'm in Europe now walking down streets that are wide enough for a single car seeing other hikers and bikers and cars stopping for each other. Agreed these roads aren't designed for cars hitting top speed with wide margins around them, but at least some of these comments are written in this thread are US is special / there needs to be an ideal design for bicycles or nothing is just aggregating to read
But this comment reads as a desired state, and in some situations thats a feature request (in this case it seems like there are architecture / system workarounds):
I don't want email to be accessible to those services. I don't want those services to use email at all.
I don't think that assumption was inherent in the comment
If you want an unpopular feature that doesn't exist on an open source platform sometimes your only options are to code it, or ask someone else to. The skillset of the feature requester doesn't change that
