@foxes @evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Honestly I feel like this (like so many comments about public transport) still focuses too much on alternate *vehicles*. The baseline should be that most trips don't require *any* sort of additional motorized vehicle because they can be made entirely via sidewalk/bikepath. Whether on foot, in a wheelchair, on a bike... and then (accessible) public transport should be a reliable addition for the cases where that isn't possible.

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev (hello object capabilities)

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev I pick option C: finally bite the fucking bullet and actually fix foundational security issues in modern systems in a way that *doesn't* boil down to "taking agency away from users"
