Chaos!
  • Do you ever run into issues with the bus taking a lot longer, and you not accounting for the extra time if your wife take the car? Where I live, 15-20 minute car rides are often 35-45 minute bus rides, and the bus comes half an hour.

  • The Evolution Of Sim City
  • If you want walkable cities, try Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic. It’s janky and complex as hell, but citizens don’t even have cars by default (unless you explicitly build parking lots and buy cars for them), and they rely entirely on walking and public transit to get around. Buildings can receive emergency services via pedestrian paths too (unless they’re something like a grocery store that has parking spaces)

  • Moderation conflict involving c/vegan
  • …everyone is arguing? Considering the studies given by both sides, and the constant promotion of that one brand of vegan cat food, it’s hard to give one side a clear objective win (though I do lean toward giving the cat meat).

  • What is your favourite game with native Linux port?
  • To be honest, I mostly play it on Windows, but occasionally launch it on my Linux laptop. My laptop is from 2012, has 4 GB of ram, and is pretty underpowered, so it's slow, but it would probably work pretty well on a properly specced Linux computer. It's a standard Unity game, so I suspect there shouldn't be too many glitches or things that.

    It's a super complex game and I quite love playing co-op with my brother. It's easy to spend hours designing all the various sub-systems of a warship only to watch it still fail against the mid-level factions.

  • Best program to open .RW2 images?

    Hello! My sister sent me some images on the .RW2 format, does anyone know any programs I should use to easily open/covert them to jpeg? Using Linux Mint if that helps.

    I know this could easily be googled, but someday I'd like to imagine people tacking site:lemmy.world to their google searches instead of site:reddit.com

    Cycling has a weight problem: a call for the industry to be more transparent about its weight limits
  • A custom bike sounds expensive, I really wish there were more east-to-buy prebuilt options. Fat people are pretty common, they’re not a rare body shape or disability that should require a custom bike. And I do wish higher weight limit tires were more common, I’m not overweight myself but I sometimes heavily load my electric bike with cargo (and a trailer that pushes down on the rear axle), and occasionally I have problems with spokes breaking already. Bikes that can carry toddlers are becoming common fast, I wish heavy wheels were more standardized for both heavy people and cargo bikes.

  • Cycling has a weight problem: a call for the industry to be more transparent about its weight limits
  • But bigger people deserve to be able to bike too! It’s just the reality of the world we live in, plus many people have genetic issues that make it fairly difficult to lose weight. They shouldn’t be locked out of basic things like being able to survive without a car. I admit horses are a different story because they’re live animals, but bicycles are human-made and can and should be designed to handle more weight, especially with how many people are bigger.

    www.cyclingweekly.com Cycling has a weight problem: a call for the industry to be more transparent about its weight limits

    Cycling products’ weight limits are typically hidden deep within owner’s manuals or not listed at all. This is a problem.

    Weight limits for bicycles need to be higher and more transparent, especially if the majority of people want to use them.

    I like Google Chrome

    It works with most websites, it syncs my bookmarks across computers, lets me reuse my existing Google account instead of needing to make a new one, and I really don't care about my data going to Google because I already give up my data in exchange for free services (which feels like a win-win).
