"FATHER: You remember? In the streets…hundreds of thousands marching shoulder to shoulder… Biggest demonstrations in HK history. The world watched it all happen. Heard our voices. Saw us bleed.

MOTHER: So?

FATHER: So if we stayed silent? didnt stand up for ourselves? They would say…this is how it always was. They would say…this is what the people wanted. But no. They can’t say that. Because it has gone down in history… That we resisted fiercely. That we fought for a different future…until we couldn’t. That legacy lives in us."

I was just there in March. Hiked Mount Hollywood and finshed at the observatory. It was a fun day

I use FOSS stuff and it ain’t perfect. I just personally can not longer tolerate all the ads and tracking

There are street legal autogyros that are a lot cheaper and make more sense as a crossover vehicle

That’s a lot of money.

I have never gotten KDE to work well… but I’m a shitty user running on shitty hardware so grain of salt and all…

Kdenlive is really really good. This isn’t an expert opinon. I don’t do a ton of video editing but it feels both easy to learn (for a layman like me) and powerful enough to do anything I need it to do

Its bad but weirdly its the only one to get all my shit working.

I’d like to switch back to Crunchbang++ but I was having problems running some things

Now I’m just picturing the Renisance Center turning into a giant mech

Basically this if you’re unfamiliar

I’m not going to write you an essay

There are good video essays on the subject by Benn Jordan, Not Just Bikes, and Adam Something that (mostly) are a good overview of the problem and their videos explain things better than I’m ever going to write

Also the eternal taxi idea just seems like a shit excuse for not building other transit options. Like why not build trains and bike lanes instead of that

From where I’m sitting that’s very far from reality for a whole lot of reasons. I’d be happy to be wrong (because cars are unacceptably unsafe as-is) but there’s a long way to go

Happened awhile ago. It was and is still a bad idea IMO

In the auto industry pennies matter. Inevitably some higher-up will convince himself that they can accomplish the same thing with just a camera and some software. Margins tend to be more important than quality. I’m not saying that’s right, its just what tends to happen

I work in vehicle testing, specifically on ADAS and autonomous driving features. One thing that gets overlooked with Waymo is the fact that that fucker has a 6-figure price tag on the sensing equipment on it. You’ll never see that on a production level vehicle

If you can afford I would get professional help. This is not something I have experience with personally but I’ve often heard of people not being able to process certain emotions so I would assume its somewhat common. A decent therapist would likely have a good understanding of how to help you navigate this.

If you can’t afford that then talking about on lemmy or elsewhere probably wouldn’t hurt. Even if we can’t offer much advice I figure writing it out like that could probably help you process your feelings on some level

If all it took were a couple of clicks to be in a badass outfit, I’d dress up too

Boost on Android for me as well

I’m not hear to kink-shame. It was just surprising to overhear

Not an argument but I once heard my neighbor casually (but loudly) discuss with someone how she could only orgasm anally

Nestor Makhno and his Makhnovists weren’t perfect but I think its probably the closest we’re going to get to seeing a working anarchist society. It seemed like it worked for a short time.

Also note the mutial aid systems that spring up in the wake of some disasters could probably be considered temporary anarchist societies. Rebecca Solenit wrote a book about this but I haven’t gotten a chance to read it yet. A Paradise Built in Hell. I hear its good but I can’t say that with firsthand knowledge
