@charlotte The scalability cult is irritating honestly. When you're first building something, you don't even know yet what your bottleneck is going to be! Trying to 'scale' everything from the start is a recipe for failure... but good luck convincing people of this who have read snazzy startup blogs about massive scalability and how it's the greatest thing since sliced databases

"induced traffic": boring, hard to understand, message is not clear
"bro one more lane": funny, easy to understand, message is clear
tech diy question, boosts welcome, context
@dysphoricunicorn This would probably be a good place to start: https://media.ccc.de/v/gpn18-95-howto-moving-objects / https://hackaday.io/project/161891-transpotter-ng -- I believe a lot of driving objects at CCC events are based off this approach

tech diy question, boosts welcome
People who are building fun things to ride on during events: do you have any tips on where to get started?
After seeing people have tons of fun with home built vehicles at #gpn20 I really want to make my own.
I already have a rough design planned out but I'm wondering where I could source the parts cheaply.
I've seen lots of vehicles built from these "hoverboard" things but those still seem a bit expensive, at least on eBay.

Packing for our first trip in several years and of course we found a dead bug in the suitcase.
@schratze Honestly the reasons I switched away from XFCE weren't the UI; but the constant Unicode-related crashes and the lack of cohesive integration with stuff like MPRIS or Bluetooth... the UI itself was pretty nice

english trains will pull up to fuckin "Royal Archbishop's Meadowglade-on-Seamouth"
@foxes @evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Yep, seen that pop up in quite a few places lately, it's a good development :) Though it's not *quite* enough for what I'm describing - because that also requires eg. multi-purpose zoning so that facilities *can* be close to residential buildings
@foxes @evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev (And yes this requires significantly different city design, but honestly you're already 80% of the way there by just not designing your city around cars)
@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.
