The great news is that infrastructure to make cities more walkable and bikeable is actually really cheap. Like, compared to car infrastructure that can move a similar amount of people it's nothing. It's mostly an issue of political will to actually build the stuff.

There's cameras everywhere watching the road too if you really care that much and you better believe your car model and license plate is a much more reliable form of identifying information than a blurry face on a bus security camera.

I think a non-insubstantial amount of the comment activity was bots to be fair.

I don't think it was an engineering consideration, I suspect it was the only thing they could get past the NIMBYs

If you're talking about standard security cameras usually the footage will get completely overwritten after afeew days unless there was an incident to prompt review of the footage-- and even then it usually gets deleted at some point. Its not like with social media data gathering where they're collecting all that information in order to build a personal profile of everyone-- security cameras just exist to review incidents that happen in the public realm and there's no real incentive for a public transit agency to track every single person that appears on their cameras.

It feels a lot more snappy, clean, and modern. I think most of that is because it hasn't accumulated a lot of the bloat and feature creep that Reddit has over the years. The biggest downside, though, is that the community is much smaller and there isn't a lot of the niche content that Reddit is so good for.

I would not really recommend LaTeX or any of those other programs just for writing student papers. LaTeX is for academic papers and it's pretty cumbersome and technical to learn, it would be very very extra to use it for writing just like your random freshman comp paper. I'm not sure why that list doesn't have LibreOffice or OpenOffice or whatever.

Kate is great!

Restaurants rely more and more on tips to make up server wages as cost of living skyrockets and workers need more and more hourly in order to survive. It sucks that businesses aren't making the difference from their own pockets, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't tip. You're not fighting the system, you're denying people a living wage.

There's a lot of non-Chrome Chromium browsers.

Everyone is recommending Tails but I feel like that's a lot more intense security and privacy wise than GrapheneOS, since Tails runs in a live environment only.

Tipping isn't really a social norm as much as it is a social imperative-- the food is considerably cheaper than it should be because you're expected to make up the cost difference in tips.

I worked at a coffee shop and 40% of my wage was tips. I wouldn't be able to afford to live otherwkse. Please tip your barista.
