Life Cycle Emissions: EVs vs. Combustion Engine Vehicles
  • Which bit was bigoted? Reality?

  • Can I block posts about Reddit?
  • Most of it is contained to specific forums, there's just more than one across a few instances, RedditMigration on Kbin is another.

    The more time I spend here the more I'm realising blocking communities/magazines is as much a key to a good experience as subscribing to them, of not more.

    It'll all die down anyway, to a degree there's just a lot of people here who just arrived from reddit. I'd avoid blocking the word itself as the wave will pass plus it's being used as a comparison in meta threads about features and UI and you might find you want to see those conversations.

  • Criticising the Irish Data Protection Commission and Big Tech to become illegal in Ireland if this bill passes
  • That article is dirt, it makes wild accusations purely based on not understanding how the Irish legislative process works, or more likely assuming it's readership doesn't. Its not going to do any good here because it reads like something a nutter would put together when you do have at least the gist of the system.

    If you actually want to have an impact share things more in line with the iccl statement and if you're Irish talk to your local politician, that noyb article doing the rounds will do nobody any favours.

  • I assume they moved there after the first model t rolled off the production line. Over 80% of the world don't have a car, there is significant overlap with rural people in that.

    As I have already said, improve infrastructure, improve public transport, get off your lazy arse and walk more then 5 seconds from your front door.

    You don't say you're American but it's so obvious you are, being incapable of functioning without a car isn't normal it's kind of pathetic

  • Life Cycle Emissions: EVs vs. Combustion Engine Vehicles
  • Yes, those are the two sole options, cars and genocide. Fucking idiot. Have you heard of a bus?

  • Reddit is not so fun anymore, RIP RIF
  • You're on a federated platform, people are talking here from across lots of different websites. They're genuinely popular though, most of the posts are human, most of the humans recently left Reddit so there's a lot of shares of favourite content.

  • No country in the EU is a totalitarian dictatorship either we've worked out busses and footpaths, it's not hard, your cities and counties still have planning offices, public servants decide these things. It makes little difference to the cost or scope of projects to design things so people can use them.

    I think you're grossly underestimating how expensive dragging your heels on climate is going to be for everyone. Changing infrastructure now is cheap in comparison. Your economy is going to be fucked by climate change regardless of what china does, there is no prisoners dilemma.

  • Life Cycle Emissions: EVs vs. Combustion Engine Vehicles
  • Yes, build the damn infrastructure, now. It's not about perfect it's about working toward a minimum viable output and electric cars miss that mark.

  • Life Cycle Emissions: EVs vs. Combustion Engine Vehicles
  • It's not enough. Cutting transport emissions by two thirds is simply not enough. We can change planning now to make it hurt slightly less when we have to get rid of cars or we can continue the current path and leave a load of people stranded when the rug gets pulled, which do you think sounds better?

  • Life Cycle Emissions: EVs vs. Combustion Engine Vehicles
  • I never said we need to be perfect, you're dismissing the argument to save your feelings.

    I said we need to drive less. It's not hard, it's not perfect, and it's the centre of most European planning efforts to mitigate climate change.

    Electric cars are and industry solution to an industry problem, they're not a reasonable response to climate change

  • Life Cycle Emissions: EVs vs. Combustion Engine Vehicles
  • Yes, we're seeing the same chart. Now add a bicycle, or replace 60 stupid little Tesla's with a bus.

    We are not at a point where electric car ownership is a viable solution, we're at least 20 years too late. Even the manufacturing cost us too great.

  • /r/pics employing weaponised bureaucracy in the fight against Reddit
  • I don't think they want that, they have a month before they have to come back with something or you can escalate it to a supervising body. Imagine getting taken to court because redditors flooded your GDPR response process

  • Best places to get human reviews/recommendations outside of reddit?
  • A lot of the time they're niche specific, I would have found out about a lot of smaller sites from reddit and then just switched to searching them directly once I had a better understanding.

    e.g. every second post in retro games subs was always "how much is this worth" and the answer is use pricecharting.com, analog camera subs or analog repair invariably reference butkus, there's heaps of small archives, wikis and old community forums out there for anything you can imagine.

    If there's specific niches you're interested in maybe ask in those forums here, they might be able to point you somewhere.

  • Life Cycle Emissions: EVs vs. Combustion Engine Vehicles
  • It's not great is it? Reasonably we just need less vehicles

  • Upvotes/Downvotes and boosts being visible on posts.
  • It not being visible is a relatively recent online phenomenon that I think has lead to some negative feedback loops on social media.

    I treat upvotes and downvotes like I used to treat thumbs up, or thanks, or kudos or whatever on much older platforms; a way to say "I agree" or "I disagree" without adding a crap comment that doesn't add to discussion.

    If you're using it as a way to vote on what other people get to see that's a reddit thing and this ain't reddit.

  • Prigozhin says his forces "are turning our columns around," amid claims of deal brokered by Lukashenko
  • Some analysts are waiting to see a withdrawal before they actually believe one is happening.

  • First they came for /r/pics ... now Reddit are coming for the individual personal subreddits
  • I'm willing to bet that they don't actually know when a sub went private, just whether or not it currently is. I also would not be surprised if the emails are automated but going out in batches to spread the workload dealing with replies.

  • AnalogCommunity is back open to poll membership on continuing the blackout
