This is my reason for joining "Fuck Cars"
  • One problem with cars is that they kill people in crashes. Larger, higher cars are more likely to kill people.

    As someone who lives in a car dependent city without a car. I prefer when my neighbors try to kill me with a small car rather than a large car.

  • We should encourage car free lifestyles.
  • I think these time limited "challenges" are not ment to get people to walk more. It's to have people gain empathy for their neighbors who cannot drive a car and to identity the most important points for improvement to make the city more walkable.

    Dispite the systemic failures in your city, I guarantee there are people forced to navigate the urban landscape without a car. Those people are probably also have low political power, so it's good to have people with more political power being informed what life is like in the city without a car.

  • Google Messages' text editing feature is live for beta users, and it could come to you soon
  • I found Google messages to be unreliable: refusing to send a SMS if the Internet connection is bad. The signal that the message failed to send is a single hollow checkmark.

    I switched to fossify messages, which just sends SMSs or MMSs and doesn't create its own flawed messaging protocol

  • Are there any things in Linux that need to be started over from scratch?
  • The goal of the zig language is to allow people to write optimal software in a simple and explicit language.

    It's advantage over c is that they improved some features to make things easier to read and write. For example, arrays have a length and don't decay to pointers, defer, no preprocessor macros, no makefile, first class testing support, first class error handling, type inference, large standard library. I have found zig far easier to learn than c, (dispite the fact that zig is still evolving and there are less learning resources than c)

    It's advantage over rust is that it's simpler. Ive never played around with rust, but people have said that the language is more complex than zig. Here's an article the zig people wrote about this: https://ziglang.org/learn/why_zig_rust_d_cpp/

  • Just 2 people.
  • I think OP believes every town in the US has twice as many homeless people as churches, it doesnt need to be exactly 1 church and 2 homeless people.

    But either way, that's probably not true. Since homeless people tend to be in larger cities.

    But then again, lots of people become homless in the suburbs and then move to the city to get the social services. If churches in the suburbs housed a few people as they become homeless, it would probably help. It's better to keep people in their communities so they have a better chance of returning to housefullness.

    But probably not that much, since homelessness rates are strongly correlated with housing prices, so expensive cities create more homelessness than cheap suburbs.

  • Are there any legal issues recreating YouTube SponsorBlock for Podcasts?
  • Good idea! I bet you could make good ad library by comparing the audio between episodes of the same podcast (to catch the ads read by the host) and between different podcasts (to catch the targeted ads inserted into a lot of podcasts)

  • Are there any legal issues recreating YouTube SponsorBlock for Podcasts?
  • I'm not suggesting static timestamps, but small audio files of the podcast about to enter, and just exited an ad.

    The app could then search for the clips in the podcast to get the timestamp.

    If there are copyright issues of sharing small clips, you can just save a hash of a clip, which will allow the app to find a match, but is not itself the Intelecual property of the podcaster; The hash cannot be turned back into the audio file. The hash would be smaller than the audio clip anyway, so sharing hashes would be better

  • Federation seems to work now

    It seems like comments show up immediately now. At least on Lemmy.world
