    I love me some grassy trams
  • these tracks are in helsinki, and these are finnish trams, i think skoda may be exporting them to germany, and i don't know what you guys do with them there, but these are pretty comfortable personally (even comparing to SBB trains, which travel so smoothly that it makes me dizzy, bc there's very little sensory points of reference)

    you're most likely having a poor experience bc the tram tracks have fallen into disrepair, bc even comparatively old trams (from the 1970s and the like) can be pretty comfortable on proper tracks (take budapest, their fleet consist largely of older models, but due to good track maintenance and relative straightness of tracks themselves, it's a pretty good experience)

    not sure why you're extrapolating your particular experience onto something so vast and vague as "public transport systems outside of china and singapore", not to mention that a decent amount of comfort is a baseline that good systems of public transport operate off of, with accessibility, frequency and location being more important factors

  • So where are we all supposed to go now? - The Verge
  • idk maybe it's just frivolous thinking, but imo since social media is corrupted by corporate profiteering brought about by venture capitalists, a social media platform that can be scaled and run very cheaply and in a decentralised fashion (think JUST text posts, all media has to be somehow hosted externally) could genuinely succeed, and be BOTH a mainstream place, while also being friendly to its users, and creating a friendly and cozy environment 🤷‍♀️

  • I love me some grassy trams
  • elegant systems in like Singapore or China

    how’s grass on tram tracks contradictory to any of that

    twitter: what's happening
  • ok, then (depending on what kind of consulting you do though) you should know that operating and migrating such a services is a big challenge?

    i'm not even sure what we're debating: twitter is incurring a lot of hosting charges, and they're trying to mitigate that...

  • Deleted
    twitter: what's happening
  • while twitter as a concept is a pretty simple platform, scaling, load balancing, etc a service with hundreds of millions of users is pretty complicated

    twitter: what's happening
  • significant and/or unsustainable bills are not necessarily the result of google cloud's pricing changes (in fact i'm pretty sure that their pricing remained the same), it's most likely smth that changed on the twitter's end

  • To encourage more posts, here is my daily driver
  • i've got a split ortho keyboard called corne (you can check my post history for assembly and final result pics), and for a split ergonomic keyboard i'd strongly recommend going for a wireless version (if available) and i wouldn't recommend ortho layout unless you're super committed (if you ever type on smth like a laptop, switch back and forth between ortho and non-ortho is a huge pain, while switching between split and non-split is perfectly fine)

    twitter: what's happening
  • i don't really understand how you can be so confident while knowing nothing or very little about running such an insanely complicated platform as twitter

  • Deleted
    twitter: what's happening
  • can he actually pay twitter's bills? like, i really don't know whether he can just directly pay them, corporations aren't structured like a weekend market

    and even if he could, i'm not sure if it would be sustainable (1bn usd hosting bill sounds very substantial)

  • Deleted
    twitter: what's happening
  • i'm assuming that cessation of twitter's existence (due to lack of funds taken up by skyrocketing hosting bills) would be an even worse strategy for retaining users and maintaining desirable stock value

  • Deleted
    twitter: what's happening
  • do you have access to their financial reports? otherwise how can one make such claims wrt to profitability (which is the issue at hand)

    like, i kinda see it wrt to the whole blue checkmark fiasco, but the issue with profitability goes much deeper than that, both in terms of time (during which this problem existed) and design (how much is it embedded into twitter as an application)

  • Deleted
    twitter: what's happening
  • real shit

    ppl like to shit on twitter and the link (reasonably so), but it's a legitimate challenge to run it and do so profitably, if they're having troubles with their server costs, only thing i could actually fault them with is making a platform that takes like 1mb of bandwidth to serve like 1/3 kb worth of text (also allowing pictures and videos)

    Stéphan Gladieu was allowed into North Korea to shoot its people in amusement parks, cinemas and offices. Why, he wonders, did they let him?

    Rescue Mission for Sci-Hub and Open Science: We are the library.

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/63866

    > This is a Reddit post, not my own work. > > ---- > > Rescue Mission Links > > * Quick start to rescuing Sci-Hub: Download 1 random torrent (100GB) from the scimag collection and download it. Seed forever. > * Mission Success Tracker, thanks to phillm > * Contribute to open source Sci-Hub projects: freereadorg/awesome-libgen > * Join /r/scihub to stay up to date > > # A Rescue Mission for Sci-Hub and Open Science > > Elsevier and the USDOJ have declared war against Sci-Hub and open science. The era of Sci-Hub and Alexandra standing alone in this fight must end. We have to take a stand with her. > > On May 7th, Sci-Hub's Alexandra Elbakyan revealed that the FBI has been wiretapping her accounts for over 2 years. This news comes after Twitter silenced the official Sci\_Hub twitter account because Indian academics were organizing on it against Elsevier. > > Sci-Hub itself is currently frozen and has not downloaded any new articles since December 2020. This rescue mission is focused on seeding the article collection in order to prepare for a potential Sci-Hub shutdown. > > Alexandra Elbakyan of Sci-Hub, bookwarrior of Library Genesis, Aaron Swartz, and countless unnamed others have fought to free science from the grips of for-profit publishers. Today, they do it working in hiding, alone, without acknowledgment, in fear of imprisonment, and even now wiretapped by the FBI. They sacrifice everything for one vision: Open Science. > > Why do they do it? They do it so that humble scholars on the other side of the planet can practice medicine, create science, fight for democracy, teach, and learn. People like Alexandra Elbakyan would give up their personal freedom for that one goal: to free knowledge. For that, Elsevier Corp (RELX, market cap: 50 billion) wants to silence her, wants to see her in prison, and wants to shut Sci-Hub down. > > It's time we sent Elsevier and the USDOJ a clearer message about the fate of Sci-Hub and open science: we are the library, we do not get silenced, we do not shut down our computers, and we are many. > > # Rescue Mission for Sci-Hub > > If you have been following the story, then you know that this is not our first rescue mission. > > * We protected the Library Genesis book collection > * We unlocked over 5,000 COVID-19 research articles > * We successfully petitioned publishers to unlock their COVID-19 paywalls > * bookwarrior, the founder of Library Genesis, took his library onto the de-centralized and un-censorable IPFS web > * Next? Make Sci-Hub un-censorable too. > > # Rescue Target > > A handful of Library Genesis seeders are currently seeding the Sci-Hub torrents. There are 850 scihub torrents, each containing 100,000 scientific articles, to a total of 85 million scientific articles: 77TB. This is the complete Sci-Hub database. We need to protect this. > > # Rescue Team > > Wave 1: We need 85 datahoarders to store and seed 1TB of articles each, 10 torrents in total. Download 10 random torrents from the scimag collection, then load the torrents onto your client and seed for as long as you can. The articles are coded by DOI and in zip files. > > Wave 2: Reach out to 10 good friends to ask them to grab just 1 random torrent (100GB). That's 8,500 seeders. We are now the library. > > Final Wave: Development for an open source Sci-Hub. freereadorg/awesome-libgen is a collection of open source achievements based on the Sci-Hub and Library Genesis databases. Open source de-centralization of Sci-Hub is the ultimate goal here, and this begins with the data, but it is going to take years of developer sweat to carry these libraries into the future. > > Heartfelt thanks to the /r/datahoarder and /r/seedboxes communities, seedbox.io and NFOrce for your support for previous missions and your love for science.
