nice video, i'm glad i watched through the whole thing. it's good to understand the perspective

i have a lot of major hangups with the concept, and i don't see myself aligning anywhere close to these ideas anytime soon, but i think it's positive to be shown the principles of anarchy from someone who believes them, rather than a strawman version of anarchy by someone who does not

thank you for posting :)

i'll be honest, unless you're at the west coast of ireland, probably give this one a miss. :(

okay, using the words listed at the start of this wikipedia article, here's where i place myself:

analyze/center/defense/labour/organize/program

or, British 1, American 5, Canadian 4, Australian 2

it's a nice litmus test to see where you're at. i knew i used to skew NA in writing style, but i didn't think by that much

this was a really good read, thank you for sharing

my headcanon on this is delayed leap-day bugs from february 29th, only showing up just now

request: can we get this open collective page link included in the feddit.uk sidebar?

currently, it says: "Contribution link coming soon to a wallet near you"

nice! i am now all paid up. feels gooood 🙂

thank you both for your hard work ❤️

and absolutely, don't feel guilty at all for repaying both of your personal costs from the budget. the point of open collective is so that we can see that you are making payments within reason. in my opinion, that includes compensating yourself for the personal expenses prior to today, so that it retroactively restores the funding back to being equitable

if you could give us a rough idea of what that personal expense was, i'd appreciate that

i will be truthful, i had lost complete confidence in the instance after seeing the crashes back in december. i had moved to using lemmy anonymously since then, to "wait and see" if i had to setup an account elsewhere.

seeing this though? full confidence restored. 👍

i am glad there is now more than one single point of failure. i hope that this adventure becomes a valuable lesson to other instances that have just one admin running everything. if you're reading this, and your instance has one admin - you need to fix that, yesterday!

once you have an OpenCollective or something like it setup, i will be able to contribute. make sure to let us know when a fresh donation link is up (because i don't trust the old ko-fi link in the sidebar)

thank you so much for your hard work. ❤️

real world link rot, lol

it's simple. asking people to do the right thing (i.e slowdown), out of the kindness of their hearts, is laughable.

if you build the street in such a way that driving above it's design limits is impossible, then people wont do it. surprisingly, the threat of their car being damaged or totaled will force compliance with the intended speed limit. if this was done correctly on a large scale, speed limit posts wouldn't even be required - the street layout would naturally dictate the speeds you can drive at.

for UK streets, this can be retrofitted with chicanes, curb extensions, raised pedestrian crossings, etc. increasing the amount that a driver has to think to drive down a street, automatically makes them slower. oh, and none of those stupid painted chicanes and bumps either, you think anyone cares about those? lol. actually build the damned curb extensions

it's frustrating to see rules on technology being decided by people not qualified in the field.

then, i stop and think about it further.

i realise that these same donkeys also legislate on healthcare, energy, water, education, _{police, transport, environment, ᶜᵘˡᵗᵘʳᵉ ⁱⁿᶠʳᵃˢᵗʳᵘᶜᵗᵘʳᵉ ˢᵖᵒʳᵗˢ ᵉᵗᶜ...}

the implication of this, is that algorithms now have actual influence on the natural selection of humans. small influence of course, but, unsettling to think about for too long.

yeah i mean opel rocks-e is cool... but what about the microlino?

the door is at the front! ❤️

california is the largest "sub-national" economy in the world. if california was a country, it would have the fifth largest economy. bigger than the uk, or bigger than india.

if i had to guess, the answer is "success breeds jealousy"
