I do this with light rail. Takes 6 minutes with slow walking included. It’s pleasant.
Especially in the winter. I live in Norway, so if I use a car I wait for the engine to warm up before driving. (It’s better for the engine.) This and removal of ice and snow easily takes more than 6 minutes. I’m really glad I don’t have a car.
Android recommendations for next version:
I suggest QR Scanner because it can both read and generate and does not ask for network access unlike Binary Eye. It has a nice and intuitive UI but also manages to do advanced stuff.
Thunderbird is already on the list but there’s an android version now. It’s based on K-9 and has gotten really good for a mobile e-mail client.
I know a lot of people like Breezy Weather (I was one of them) but the simplicity of Bura makes it perfect in my eyes. The fact that it doesn’t have a graph for air quality or animated lock screens that match the weather makes it a fraction of the weight, really fast and does not ask for even half of the same permissions. I switched to Bura after noticing that it doesn’t need to run in the background since it’s so fast when you open it. It’s still prettier than the absolute most basic ones though.
Norway has some of the lowest in Europe. Less than a third of Germany’s prices. Norway is producing more (hydro) energy than it’s able to use.
That’s why it’s exporting some of it to other countries today. Before Norway did this their prices were even lower.
privacy.resistFingerprinting breaks a lot more than just themes. Many of the weird problems reported in Firefox (and forks) are just from enabling it.
It has some pros but also TONNES of cons. Everything from a completely blank page to wrong timestamps to poor textures and so much more. Sometimes you will be flagged as a bot and prompted with literally infinite puzzles, thus effectively banning you from a website.
Some of these problems get fixed but new ones also get born. I personally use it but I also expect breakage and worse performance.
If you want to help but find configuration hard you can easily help by running a Snowflake proxy on your phone or in your browser.
I have configured my phone run a Snowflake proxy every time my phone is connected to WiFi and charging. It’s automated and does not require me to do anything. I have turned on notifications that tell me every time I’m helping someone connecting to Tor. It gives me a good feeling every time.
The sender is generating the link preview on Signal. Would this not eliminate the threat for the receiver? Not my field.
I don’t know a lot about Linus. What makes him a creep?
I completely understand that owning a car can be necessary for someone, but since I’m lucky enough to have access to good public transit a car just doesn’t make any sense for me.
It’s MANY times as expensive, the car requires maintenance/repair and driving requires me to be focused and well rested.
Even with zero sleep, a headache, icy roads, a beer in my stomach and lots of stress, I can safely get where I need to go and I don’t even have to think about parking when I get there. I can even listen to music or a podcast on really low volume with closed eyes. I hope that more people get access to good public transit.
For a society in the long run public transit is also cheaper per passenger than cars. The difference in cost efficiency grows the more densely populated an area is. Statistically most people on Lemmy live in a more densely populated area than me, so you can probably demand this from your government. Y’all would end up saving money.
