You're talking about private ownership. I'm talking about the rental scooters. I don't care if people own them as long as they aren't the ones going 80km/h.

My problem is with the rental scooters people don't know how to control/brake and squeeze on 2 people.

Not a fan of e-scooters personally. Would prefer ebikes ANY day. You are more likely to get hurt on a scooter than bike because of the way you are positioned on the device, and I'm pretty sure the only reason they're popular now is because they're cheaper for the rental companies.

Again, I'm in favour of bikes and ebikes and dedicated bike paths. Not a fan of e-scooters where they dump you on sidewalks and roads and tell you "good luck".

I am making the choice to not cross the border at all. If I was required to for some real reason, I would bring one of my old phones SECURELY wiped (as in, writing over all the old bits on the flash storage), with nothing but the absolute essentials installed and NO accounts.

Is it schizo? Not anymore. They're detaining everyone and deporting/disallowing you in the country for ANYTHING now. JD Vance memes will get you banned at this point.

I don't really care that much either way for speed cameras. They work in a very limited fashion, but they punish the poor the most, and the money goes to cops.

At the end of the day speed cameras are a solution to a problem that doesn't need to exist. We are failing to use technology available to us for basically no reason - we already know how to slow people and calm traffic without any kind of economic/punitive incentive.

This is surely a smokescreen for Google's monopolization of Internet standards.

And even if weren't, I cannot emphasize enough how much that list of companies should also NOT be in charge of setting open standards. Oligopoly, monopoly with the illusion of choice...

The problem with simply being "frustrated" about current material conditions is that frustration is unproductive. You have to channel it into something. If that "something" is fucking fascism, you're an evil person without morals. So while I understand how it happens I cannot absolve people of the crime of voting for an open fascist.

I like the title, I like the framing, but unfortunately it's a nothing burger. They need to close the SUV/truck loophole and regulate vehicle size directly.

It's not really her fault. Microsoft pushes people to use their onedrive and pay for a subscription even when people have no clue what it is or what it does. Microsoft is just insanely anti-consumer.

This is your daily reminder that the feds can see everything you post

What a goofy interpretation of that series of events. Reddit changes API which fucks over moderators -> mods protest and say if they can't use these tools they can't moderate -> when API restrictions come into effect, mods either leave over moderating being way harder now or basically not being able to mod

Why is that final step so hard for this person to believe? All of Reddit moderation wasn't lying to people for fun

No, these guys are way less organized than last time and Donald Trump is getting fucked in court still. I think its less likely now than it was 4 years ago. The GOP is fracturing and losing steam. Senators and governors are still a threat but not in the civil war type of way I don't think.
