I feel like I just need to play Car Park Capital after discovering it today. Styled much like a late 90s retro tycoon game, it looks like it's from a different time and I love it.
I think the developers of this satirical game could be subscribed to this community:

Old style graphics (a la sim city) for a satirical game centered on a mechanic that was excluded by sim city because it would have been boring, as revealed by a developer
The developer mentioned it's being built on Linux, so it will of course have Native Linux support.

It is at world level, according to WHO
https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/themes/topics/topic-details/GHO/road-traffic-mortality
In the linked page the same WHO states that road fatalities are the leading cause of death "for children and young adults aged 5–29 years":

Comodo, ma non ho trovato un modo sensato per "scalare" un video senza dovermi calcolare a mano sia la risoluzione verticale che orizzontale. In altre parole manca la spunta "maniteni proporzioni". O sbaglio?
except for the “cars are great” part.
Yeah... Excluding moron drivers you have:
- fucking dangerous for anyone outside the car
- killing millions every year
- main cause of death among those aged 15–29 years
- air pollution
- noise pollution
- one of the main sources of greenhouse emissions
- wasting space where it's more valuable
- wasting money on subsides, directly and indirectly because of roads needed
- distorting urban growth to increase dependency on it
I'm probably still forgetting something important...

The contract requires repair shops to "immediately disassemble" devices that have parts "not purchased from Samsung."
A leaked "independent" repair shop contract shows that Samsung requires them to give Samsung the name, contact information, phone identifier, and customer complaint details of everyone who gets their phone repaired at these shops,
Stunningly, it also requires these nominally independent shops to “immediately disassemble” any phones that customers have brought them that have been previously repaired with aftermarket or third-party parts and to “immediately notify” Samsung
It's the second in a row news about Samsung acting agsunst the customers right to repair, showing how much we need good right to repair laws.
iFixit and Samsung's self-repair collaboration ends (two years after launch)
As revealed by iFixit, Samsung collaboration never worked well, with parts that were too expensive, and/or glued together (like a battery+screen replacement!)
Moreover Samsung never really tried to make their designs more repairable.
ifixit blog post is full of episodes, like when Samsung and iFixit announced an upcycle program, and then Samsung disappeared.
Ok, Samsung is cleared not interested in making their product repairable.
I was genuinely surprised, because what you wrote was really different from what I experienced. But my experience i Munich is objectively limited. I somehow hoped that Germany, and Munich (along with other European cities) could be used as a model of how to do things right.
What drives me mad here is the absolute inaction
Exactly, and all this stuff about counting the cars is to try to move something. I have not much hope honestly, but excluding violence and vandalism, I think this is as much as someone can do
The city even responds to requests with the risk of damage to cars (!!) instead of considering humans.
This is completely crazy. In Milan they justify bad parking by saying things like "it has always been like this" or "yeah, but you can go around it" etc. FFS, do your job!!
Yes burning them all would have been much more satisfying.
But we needed to know how many matches we needed to buy 😈
I don't know... I have been there twice in the last 4 years, and I went in many places (touristy and not, I was there for work, Just as examples: Truderinger Str. or Marsstraße are not so central) and never saw anything like that. For sure I didn't see cars parked on the bus stop or on the zebra crossings.
But anyway, with a similar car density (but people density is almost double in Milan) I am not be surprised that the situation is comparable in both places.
So, well, you should organize and count them too! I think that such a status is unacceptable independently of where it happens 🙂
I have been in Munich... Not remotely comparable.
Did you see the pictures in the article below? They are not an exception. Cars are parked like this in all Milan, on all the streets.
Milan has 51 cars for 100 inhabitants, which is the double of other big cities in Europe, like Madrid (291,3) o Paris (225,2). One of the consequences is that traffic is terrible, and Milan is, for example, one of the worst cities on TomTom traffic index
Another big consequence is that motorists will park cars everywhere, because the number of legal on-street parking spots much lower than needed (the number of on-street parking spots is already much higher than other similar European cities) . If you have ever been in Milan, you would know that you can find cars parked on the sidewalks, on the bike lanes, between the trees at the side of the road, on zebra crossings, at the corners of intersections, at the bus stops, double parked (take a look at the pictures in this article to get an idea). This is a big issue, because people with reduced mobility, parents with strollers, people with sight issues are strongly impaired by this situation. Moreover an average of 5 times every day, public transit (trams and buses) gets stuck because of some really badly parked car, causing delays for tens or hundreds of people.
The administration is not willing to help and tolerates the status without doing much except the worst situations. They fear that this will impact their popularity, and may lose next elections. It is a well known fact that getting a ticket for illegal parking is so rare, that it costs less than a legal payed parking spot!
People was so fed up with the situation that and association called "Sai che puoi?" was able to organize an event to count and map illegally parked cars during the night of May 16th. It took a long time and effort, with some tests on a few blocks performed in the past. They also did a great social campaign with posts and videos like this one , and developed a web app on purpose.
The results were astonishing: 2000 people took part, and were able to walk all the 1700 km of the 3780 streets in the city and count illegally parked cars, divided by parking location (on the street, on the sidewalks, between the trees)
!the streets of Milan turned green because all of them were part of the count at the end
Results:
- 64000 illegally parked cars (during the day the situation gets even worse, with people coming from outside the city!)
- 37000 on the street
- 15000 on the sidewalks
- 11000 on the grass or between the trees
This means that the city administration could get 5.3 million euros of tickets in one night, which means the equivalent of 134000 public transit month tickets.
The final aim is to force the administration to act and do something. The idea is that neglecting the issue with such numbers should be more difficult.
I think this is a great story, and I never heard of something like this from anywhere else. I want to say thank you to the organizers and I would love to get this event known outside Italy
I see some serious issues in this project
- The speed would seem very low.
- To increase the speed you would need to improve the infrasctructure, but this would not be cheap
- even if technolgy is old, doesn't mean it's good. verythin that is elf-balancing is at risk of falling in case of failure...
Cool project tho
Honestly I don't know the authors or books, but I know that the the Storiybundles are usually not bad.
> The Universe of Adventure Sci-Fi Bundle - Curated by independent authors John Wilker & Dave Walsh: When it comes to science fiction, there are a lot of different flavors. Through the ages, science fiction has been many things to a great many people. It’s never been just one thing. Just one type of story. There's sci-fi that's quiet and contemplative, sci-fi that sticks to our understanding of modern science, then there's sci-fi that spans different galaxies and times, or even sci-fi that warps our understanding of reality.

You are describing me starting my 125 cc 2 strokes motorbike.
Except I had to jump on before disengaging the clutch because otherwise the rear wheel lacked traction and would stop and slide
Super cool, bu are they faster/more efficent than a good pair of diving fins?
Ritmo, energia, rabbua e contenuto, tutto degno e all'altezza dei Rage Against the Machine.
E non lo dico io, lo dice Tom Morello. In effetti alla canzone mancherebbe solo la sua chitarra!
Thnk yu, I nw crrectd
Uso Gadgetbridge da molti anni, con Amzfit band s, poi con un bip e adesso con un bip s.
È un'app veramente indispensabile per avere una altetnativa non spiona, libera etc. Infatti è uns dei progetti a cui contribuisco con una donazione periodica
Grazie a tutti gli sviluppatori!
What surprises me the most is maintenance cost of thosr urban highways, when compared to every other alternative project!
Nice read thank you!
Lately I find references to LowTech Magazine a the yime. I think it's agreat project!
What I would do:
-
downgrade to lasf working version (you probably have to uninstall and tben manuslky srlect the version to re-install)
-
check if this bug was ile reported on the source repository of the app. If not do it yourself
-
wait for new version to come out. Check changelog to see if your issue was corrected, and if so install it. Otherwise wait for following version
In the end if a previous version of the app worked, you can keep it, no reason to upgrade...
You know, I was thinking the same thing. It's always iFixit: Motorola, Nokia, and now Kobo. But I don't see how a company with a mission like iFixit can turn into bad guy (enshittify?). Am I too optimistic?
you get the only thing I openly say it is an opinion (based on my experience anyway) to dismiss all the other points like an opinion where instead I offered some observed facts
What you reported are anecdotal facts. Things you observed. Objective facts and data are what we need to improve. The fact that you see people not using the bike lane is not relevant.
- Have you tried to actually count how many people use the bike path and how many not?
- Do you understand that from someone driving a car, you clearly see a cyclist on the road, while you may dismiss and not even register one on the bike path?
- Is the one you talk about a bike path at all? Or maybe is it a mixed use path (so one that cyclist don't have to use)?
- When I'm riding a bicycle I will always use a bike path, if it is usable; you know, I want to stay alive. I may choose not to use it when mixed because I think it is more dangerous for me and the pedestrians on it. Or if a bike path surface is broken and I would risk falling.
Did you check these?
Practice:
The 3 points you mention as practice are not practice at all. They are theory, they are laws that are usually not respected.
Obviously if you reduce speed you reduce the possibillity of a fatality. Following this way of thinking, if you reduce the speed to 10 Km/h you reduce even more the crashes and fatalities. Even better, remove the cars, 0 crashes (not sure about 0 fatalities btw).
30 km/h is only the maximum speed allowed. And it is a compromise that wold allow for a huge reduction of crash damage, while not reducing travel time by much. Because the average speed in cities is, let's remember that, more in the 10-20 km/h range. So, speeding between red lights does not save anyone's time, just increase the danger.
Don't make me look up for articles about that (please, do it yourself, there is plenty), but the increase of travel times when maximum allowed speed is decreased from 50 to 30 is very low (much, much lower than 50/30 ratio), and the benefits in terms of danger is so high, that it is totally worth it. So the argument "let's make it 10 km/h" doesn't make any sense
we are taking for granted that it is always the car the guilty side
it's not a question of who is guilty, it is a question of where the danger comes from. And it doesn't come from pedestrians or cyclicsts (see my previous post), it comes from cars. Stop signs exist because of cars. Traffic light exist because of cars. Car insurance exist because of cars.
So my point, in the end, is that concentrating only on the speed, again in my opinion, we are just looking at the most easily factor to “punish”
No, nobody wants to punish. It is because of facts (not anecdotes). It is because it works in theory and in practice, as I fully documented in my previous post. And I was only taking into consideration the 50 to 30 km/h reduction. It works in all the cases, even highways https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2598360/
Di recente ho scoperto un modo relativamente semplice per avere accesso al sistema Android, senza dovermi complicare troppo la vita.
Una delle cose più immediate da fare è la disinstallazione di qualunque applicazione, anche di sistema, senza root, e senza shell ADB via collegamento USB
Come fare?
- quello che serve si può installare usando Droidify che è un client F-droid che include già vari repository tra cui anche Izziondroid.
- abilitare le "opzioni sviluppatore" di android, per accedere alle opzioni di debug
- Installare Shizuku
- Avviare Shizuku tramite "debug wireless" (android 11 e successivi). L'app include istruzioni passo passo da seguire. Questa parte è un po' intricata, ma portate pazienza
- Installate Canta
- Canta fornisce una lista delle app installate affiancandole ad una valutazione fornita dal database di universal android debloater, che aiuta a capire cosa si può disinstallare senza romepre il sistema ("reccomended"), e cosa invece richiede più attenzione ("expert" o "unsafe"). Cliccando su ciascuna applicaizione vengono fornite ulteriori informazioni su cosa l'app fa
- Nelle FAQ di Universal android debloater trovate la spiegazione di ciascuna valurazione
- Selezionate quel che volete, cliccate disinstalla. Apparirà un popup di Shikuzu per autorizzare Canta, date l'autorizzazione, ed è fatta!
Io personalmente ho comprato un tablet Lenovo, era pieno di schifezze. L'ho fatto diventare un quasi "android puro". Ne vale la pena
Scarica Firefox Translations per Firefox. Traduci i siti web nel tuo browser senza passare dal cloud.
L'estensione apparentemente non si può installare sulla versione Android, ma c'è un trucchetto.
- Aprite un nuovo tab su una qualunque pagina
- abilitate lo switch "sito desktop" dal menu coi 3 puntini
- andate alla pagina dell'addon (è quella del link di questo post)
- adesso è possibile installarlo.
Una volta installato, durante la navigazione comparirà una piccola icona di traduzione. Cliccandoci sopra potrete avviare la traduzione della pagina, anche in modalità non desktop.
Siate pazienti, perché la prima volta dovrà scaricare il pacchetto della lingua da tradurre, e poi impiegherà del tempo per generare la traduzione vera e propria.
