This is the message of an old campaign for the #securityRoadway in #UK. It sounds ridiculous, if only the same message (maybe a bit watered down), was not used for road safety campaigns nowadays.

Pure victim blaming

Munich has some issues dealing with too many cars and illegal parking on the sidewalk is common.

The SPD mayor has the solution: change the law so that this rude habit becomes legal.

And what about pedestrians, people with wheelchair, strollers? I guess they'll have to adapt.

Fuck cars!

I find this idea very innovative and exciting. It is being developed by Fedilab, and separates data from relay (a bit like AtProto does) to allow everyone to keep their data, even on a phone

Holos - a mobile ActivityPub server that runs on your phone. A relay server maintains your stable identity when you're offline. Switch between text, photos, videos, and articles from a single account. Currently in private development, sharing progress with the community.

The account following the development has just 3 posts (with some light technical details) at the time of writing, but the stuff should be published on Codeberg soon.

Pictured above: a bike locked badly to a good quality rack. Just a wrench, and a thief takes the wheel and bike away.

In the photo below: my solution to properly lock a bike to bad, low rack made wrong (to “dish rack”, outside Decathlon 🤦). Instead of inserting the wheel, I put the bike across the structure, so I can easily lock wheel and frame.

While looking for posts with the #degoogle hastag with my mastodon account, I realized that mixed in the hastag timeline there were posts to the !degoogle@lemmy.ml community, but not containing the hastag itself in the text.

I tried to look around, but In wasn't able to find an explanation of how this is supposed to work: is it because of the name of the community that is the same of the hastag? Or is or because the hastag is "embedded" in the community itself?

Edit: for those interested, the explanation is in this comment -> https://lemmy.world/post/39083486/20606028

Found this article, I think it's am interesting comparison

This was epic.

Yesterday, World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, Fratelli d’Italia (far right party at government, the party of Giorgia Meloni), had organized for Sunday afternoon a protest in the car against the policies on the mobility of Rome mayor. in particular against the cycle paths that “proliferate, remove parking, reduce the roadways and create much more pollution”.

The idea was to leave with cars in procession. The procession, however, was never held: the cars ready to participate were too many:

300 cars in the motorcade would mean paralyzing the entire city

So in wanting to protest against the albeit timid mobility policies to improve mobility, those of FdI managed in one fell swoop to:

• collect 300 cars, too many because they would "paralyze the city", so no procession

• have little support: 300 cars carry very few people. The procession became a garrison, the few people were all in front of a bus

• show how "the freedom to choose" the car is not a freedom, but arrogance: a minority using cars is enough to live no room for everyone else

• "the collapsing mobility" they talk about is actually caused by cars, considering that just 300 cars can "paralyze the entire city"

• a subway train (but also a modern tram) would bring more people than those at the demonstration, without causing collapses

And there was no need for any cross-examination, they did everything themselves.

I think this will go down in the annals.

(Part of the post is a translation from this toot, part is translated from the linked article, in Italian)

This is not a joke: in Rome there will be a protest by car against sustainable mobilitity.

The image is like:

PARADE BY CAR

Take part with your car

• No limited traffic zones
• No useless cycle paths
• No 30 km/h city without sense

Followed by dates, places and party symbol

"I'll leave my car parked in the roundabout, what could go wrong?"

I use a bike poncho, it covers the legs, too, and limits sweating because it is open underneath. Decathlon sells them for cheap, and them works. There is also normal colors, but I prefer to be absurdly visible (I want to see who says "I didn't seen him 🙂)

Every time I use it, I'm amazed I'm dry underneath (the face gets wet).

In any case, even if I don't wear it, I'm unlikely to get soaked, when rain is not that strong. We are not made of sugar!

From the article:

A software update rolling out to Samsung’s Family Hub refrigerators in the US is putting ads on the fridges for the first time. The “promotions and curated advertisements” are coming despite Samsung insisting to The Verge in April that it had “no plans” to do so

Samsung is calling it a pilot program for now, which — I kid you not — is meant to “strengthen the value” of owning a Samsung smart fridge
