@amapanda Neat! It's definitely not perfect (red line is what it *should* have routed through for the optimal cycling route), but definitely much better than most generic routers :)
maia quote of the day, food, drugs
@maia you said 'drugs' twice
@amapanda Wait until you learn about the difference in bike routing quality! As it turns out, a whole lot of bike paths/crossings/etc. just straight-up do not exist in Google Maps, because their AI magic can't see them due to tree cover, and no Streetview car would drive over bike paths, of course... this leads to sometimes absurdly better routes with OSM-based routers than with GMaps.

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev @pleb@hunk.city Do you actually need a local queue, though, or do you just need a multiplexer?

We should have some form of public goods transport, where you 'check in' some kind of cargo (camping gear, large hardware store purchase, whatever) at the point of origin, specify where you're going and when you'll arrive, and then someone shows up after that time with your stuff, for a price that's in line with human public transport.

@melsbells@tenforward.social Unfortunately not; it seems I haven't kept any bookmarks on this topic :( It's unfortunately also a difficult topic to find details on (in English anyway), considering how little attention there is for policy and communities in Africa in general...

@melsbells@tenforward.social While that is true, decentralized authority structures are still authority structures (that people look up to and expect solutions from), just often less functional ones, therefore less effective.
AFAIK a lot of communities in Africa have fared *much* better with the pandemic despite having way less access to means, because local communities (often in the absence of authority structures) took the responsibility upon themselves to protect the entire community. There was no authority to look towards and expect to fix it.

It's so bizarre that people assume so many things about autistic people and do weird studies on them like they're animals instead of just asking them questions. We are so dehumanized that they don't even trust our own perceptions of ourselves

hey if a tech person is ever explaining to you what the bug was that they fixed and it doesn't match the problem you saw tell them because odds are there's another bug that they have to fix

@melsbells@tenforward.social Had we as a society been (culturally) prepared to organize things like this ourselves, instead of relying pretty much entirely on some unreliable central authority, then I don't think things would have failed like this.
covid
@melsbells@tenforward.social Definitely not talking about the tragedy of the commons, no! Tragedy of the commons implies a public commons failing due to nobody taking responsibility; but the problem here is that the responsibility was explicitly *assigned* to somebody (the various governments), and most of said governments failed to do their job there, leading to exhaustion and hopelessness among those whose trust was breached by them.
