Not everything in black and white makes sense.
I mean you could have the best car free cycling infrastructure in the world and it would still be better to wear helmets since the energy you build up with a bike is just too much for your crane to take.
This is the same reason airbags exist and we stopped putting metal spikes on steering wheels.
All of this is strangely reminiscent of the seatbelt discussion for me.
Don’t give me hope.
I still don’t get it, we know helmets protect, so the less cranial trauma you come across in your life the longer your life will be. It’s rather simple.
What you are addressing here is just anti bike politics. If tomorrow everyone would agree to wear helmets, they would come up with speed restrictions for cycling. The goal is to be anti cycling. The idea they hide behind is replaceable.
I didn’t know there was a anti bicycle-helmet faction. I guess it’s like smoking, if I ignore the dangers it won’t happen to me…
Just put it on the light side if the moon - problem solved.
Every 2-3 years Radiosynthesys comes to the surface in science journalism. So far no one has come up with an explanation how it could work or if it could work.
They best they got is, some kind of melanin response to radioactivity, which would make sense as a protection mechanism.
I can avoid travelling to the US or other states that want to kill me actively or by negligence.
At what point do pilots and other people who go there because it’s their job, stop going there I wonder.
I’m not sure if the people living in Paris were mad. It might be the people who commute that hated her anti-car politics.
On the other hand we are talking about a nation that wanted to put a highway interchange in the middle of Paris …
This! Bats signed a peacy treaty with every known virus. You didn’t, so the virus will happily kill you.
Here is a paper about some of the adaptions on a genetic level. Bats seem to have evolved remarkable virus co-existance.
What did you expect from the Microslop trojan horse that was brought in to destroy Linux from the inside.
The enshittifcation will continue until it served it’s purpose.
It’s some kind of click-farming. That’s a negative knowledge article, you feel less informed after reading it.

Thanks for the replies - going to check that out when I have time.
It’s a cheap Chinese made, it prints when I turn it on and that’s like every two months for the last 3 years. So I guess it’s good. I also only use it to print from linux or my phone.
I got a cheap Xerox laser printer, the toner is cheap and lasts forever.
I think at this point they are trying to invent a new form of Alzheimer’s that’s caused by plaques just out of spite.
I agree with you on some points here. The problem is that these crawlers are hostile to the point of DDOSing sites
So the problem is not that someone archives your public accessible data, the problem is that in doing so either breaks your site or makes you pay for the excess traffic.
I think the web is now broken beyond repair. The commercialisation killed it and the tech monopolies are all that’s left.
So I think small invite only fully encrypted enclaves are all that is left, until someone comes up with a “new Internet”, that can resist the " Techbros", but for now I don’t see that.
Also I don’t see the Fediverse as a solution, it’s just under the radar for now, but if it gets bigger it will be coöpted and sunk.
I wonder what Bram’s stance would have been on AI.
Anyway, looks like it’s time to learn emacs.
Das ist natürlich dämlich.
Ich würde nie etwas per Überweisung zahlen. Entweder Bankeinzug, dann kann ich mir das Geld zurückholen oder wenn man nur per Kreditkarte bezahlen kann benutz ich wegwerf Karten. Dann kann man mit der Nummer nix anfangen wenn ich die deaktivier.
Was that in the sandy hook case? I’m curious if he said that in self defense or if he really admitted that freely.
