I doubt that there are less drunk bus or truck drivers.

This seems strange to me. Why do you doubt this? Even if bus / truck drivers drive drunk at the same rates as car drivers, there would be less drunk bus / truck drivers due to the numbers.

The absolute number is whats important because each drunk driver you add is extremely dangerous to society.

Also if society moved away from car driving, the loss in car vehicle miles traveled would not be compensated for by equal increases in truck / bus vehicle miles traveled because trucks and busses aggregate many trips together.

Where’s that last picture at?

I remember that comment …

You’re right, I was probably too harsh on the seatbelt point. If you have to be in a car, you should wear a seatbelt. But, the first line of defense is to not be in a car, and the second line of defense is to be on well-designed roads.

American cities lack these two lines of defense. This is probably why crashes are such a big problem here.

That’s probably why it’s so expensive. I guess it’s good to know that the loss of revenue is already baked into the cost of the project.

The concept of Chicago being super dangerous is a incorrect right wing meme.

It has half the violent crime rate of Memphis, for example. And that violence is highly concentrated in particular neighborhoods.

The article says they did:

Earlier in the pandemic, Chicago launched a program to give away 5,000 bikes to eligible Chicago residents by 2026.

Yes! But it’s less active than this one. You can subscribe by pasting this into your instances search bar:

I believe that upvotes in lemmy are not only saved but are also publicly availible with the API.

Yes, they also haven’t implemented extension support yet.

I’m not convinced. There’s already plenty of choices for chrome reskins. I’d rather they make their search engine better. Maybe get independence from bing.

That’s good, I’ll check out those magazines

One problem with kbin is that the whole federation of instances thing didn’t work so well there. It seems all the users and all the content is one one server: kbin.social.

This is concerning since it introduces a single point of failure.

Nick Offerman says he’s not a real cyclist because he doesn’t put on Lycra and go 30 Miles per hour.

I disagree. Biking on the streets of NY and LA makes you a real cyclist. I’m not sure what putting on Lycra makes you …

It depends where the motorists are used to driving with bikes, and how fast they’re going.

I’m confused about what kind of data you want to protect. If you mean your posts and comments, they are already publicly availible on the Internet. Meta doesn’t need to make a activitypub app that gets federated with Lemmy (or kbin) to aggregate and sell this data.

Is there an other kind of data that is visible only to server administrators?

Can’t they aggregate and sell your Lemmy activity data without federating with your sever? It’s all in the public Internet.

I guess it won’t be that useful if they have no way of tracking you. But, I don’t think federation makes it easier to track users. Do sever admins get ip addresses of every user on a server they federate with?

Plastic also works, and is far more durable
