I think the developers of this satirical game could be subscribed to this community:

The car industry has identified a few places on earth that do not know THE FREEDOM OF CAR DEPENDENCY.

So they hired you to increase car sales and oil consumption.

How? By building the greatest car parks ever!

Turn neighborhoods into car parks, create the need for car commuting and parking. Use propaganda to inform people on why they need it.

Learn to become a real tycoon.. Asphalt means freedom, right?

Old style graphics (a la sim city) for a satirical game centered on a mechanic that was excluded by sim city because it would have been boring, as revealed by a developer

The developer mentioned it's being built on Linux, so it will of course have Native Linux support.

Potrebbe essere l'inizio di un film di fantscienza. Prima la buca, poi la vorsgine, poi il camion che sprofonda. Poi sprofondano le gru che dovevano recuperare il camion. Alla fine sprofonsa tutta la città!

It is at world level, according to WHO

https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/themes/topics/topic-details/GHO/road-traffic-mortality

In the linked page the same WHO states that road fatalities are the leading cause of death "for children and young adults aged 5–29 years":

Comodo, ma non ho trovato un modo sensato per "scalare" un video senza dovermi calcolare a mano sia la risoluzione verticale che orizzontale. In altre parole manca la spunta "maniteni proporzioni". O sbaglio?

[-] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago

except for the “cars are great” part.

Yeah... Excluding moron drivers you have:

  • fucking dangerous for anyone outside the car
    • killing millions every year
    • main cause of death among those aged 15–29 years
  • air pollution
  • noise pollution
  • one of the main sources of greenhouse emissions
  • wasting space where it's more valuable
  • wasting money on subsides, directly and indirectly because of roads needed
  • distorting urban growth to increase dependency on it

I'm probably still forgetting something important...

Articolo molto interessante de ilPost che riporta un po' di indagini su quanto di internet e delle piattaforme "mainstream" sia opera di bot.

Il quadro è abbastanza sconfortante, pagine facebook che condividono immagini generate per attirare click, commenti fatti da bot, difficoltà nel capire se un contenuto è umano o meno, e milioni di persone prede inconsapevoli di queste tecniche, vittime di algoritmi che mettono questi contenuti spazzatura nei loro feed

Leggendo questo articolo non posso che essere felice per il fediverso, dove leggo e vedo contenuti di persone, grazie a moderatori che fanno un interminabile ed umanissimo lavoro di selezione.

A leaked "independent" repair shop contract shows that Samsung requires them to give Samsung the name, contact information, phone identifier, and customer complaint details of everyone who gets their phone repaired at these shops,

Stunningly, it also requires these nominally independent shops to “immediately disassemble” any phones that customers have brought them that have been previously repaired with aftermarket or third-party parts and to “immediately notify” Samsung

It's the second in a row news about Samsung acting agsunst the customers right to repair, showing how much we need good right to repair laws.

As revealed by iFixit, Samsung collaboration never worked well, with parts that were too expensive, and/or glued together (like a battery+screen replacement!)

Moreover Samsung never really tried to make their designs more repairable.

ifixit blog post is full of episodes, like when Samsung and iFixit announced an upcycle program, and then Samsung disappeared.

Ok, Samsung is cleared not interested in making their product repairable.

I was genuinely surprised, because what you wrote was really different from what I experienced. But my experience i Munich is objectively limited. I somehow hoped that Germany, and Munich (along with other European cities) could be used as a model of how to do things right.

What drives me mad here is the absolute inaction

Exactly, and all this stuff about counting the cars is to try to move something. I have not much hope honestly, but excluding violence and vandalism, I think this is as much as someone can do

The city even responds to requests with the risk of damage to cars (!!) instead of considering humans.

This is completely crazy. In Milan they justify bad parking by saying things like "it has always been like this" or "yeah, but you can go around it" etc. FFS, do your job!!

Yes burning them all would have been much more satisfying.

But we needed to know how many matches we needed to buy 😈

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't know... I have been there twice in the last 4 years, and I went in many places (touristy and not, I was there for work, Just as examples: Truderinger Str. or Marsstraße are not so central) and never saw anything like that. For sure I didn't see cars parked on the bus stop or on the zebra crossings.

But anyway, with a similar car density (but people density is almost double in Milan) I am not be surprised that the situation is comparable in both places.

So, well, you should organize and count them too! I think that such a status is unacceptable independently of where it happens 🙂

I have been in Munich... Not remotely comparable.

Did you see the pictures in the article below? They are not an exception. Cars are parked like this in all Milan, on all the streets.

Milan has 51 cars for 100 inhabitants, which is the double of other big cities in Europe, like Madrid (291,3) o Paris (225,2). One of the consequences is that traffic is terrible, and Milan is, for example, one of the worst cities on TomTom traffic index

Another big consequence is that motorists will park cars everywhere, because the number of legal on-street parking spots much lower than needed (the number of on-street parking spots is already much higher than other similar European cities) . If you have ever been in Milan, you would know that you can find cars parked on the sidewalks, on the bike lanes, between the trees at the side of the road, on zebra crossings, at the corners of intersections, at the bus stops, double parked (take a look at the pictures in this article to get an idea). This is a big issue, because people with reduced mobility, parents with strollers, people with sight issues are strongly impaired by this situation. Moreover an average of 5 times every day, public transit (trams and buses) gets stuck because of some really badly parked car, causing delays for tens or hundreds of people.

The administration is not willing to help and tolerates the status without doing much except the worst situations. They fear that this will impact their popularity, and may lose next elections. It is a well known fact that getting a ticket for illegal parking is so rare, that it costs less than a legal payed parking spot!

People was so fed up with the situation that and association called "Sai che puoi?" was able to organize an event to count and map illegally parked cars during the night of May 16th. It took a long time and effort, with some tests on a few blocks performed in the past. They also did a great social campaign with posts and videos like this one , and developed a web app on purpose.

The results were astonishing: 2000 people took part, and were able to walk all the 1700 km of the 3780 streets in the city and count illegally parked cars, divided by parking location (on the street, on the sidewalks, between the trees)

the streets of Milan turned green because all of them were part of the count at the end

Results:

  • 64000 illegally parked cars (during the day the situation gets even worse, with people coming from outside the city!)
    • 37000 on the street
    • 15000 on the sidewalks
    • 11000 on the grass or between the trees

This means that the city administration could get 5.3 million euros of tickets in one night, which means the equivalent of 134000 public transit month tickets.

The final aim is to force the administration to act and do something. The idea is that neglecting the issue with such numbers should be more difficult.

I think this is a great story, and I never heard of something like this from anywhere else. I want to say thank you to the organizers and I would love to get this event known outside Italy

Anzi, ancora peggio, la Ami è anche uguale sinistra destra!!

In generale trovo che abbia poco senso un’alleanza di partiti di estrema destra di diverse nazioni.

Poi improvvisamente si accorgono che i nazisti sono nazisti. Quando si accorgeranno che i fascisti sono fascisti, cosa faranno?

Ma non potrebbero essere un po' coerenti e dire le cose che pensano veramente? Dire chiaramente che sono razzisti, che vogliono una stampa sotto controllo, e impedire la libertà di parola, di pensiero?

Perché nascondersi dietro una bella faccia, se tutti sanno qual è la verità?

Ma porca pupazza.

Questa storia è allucinante. Sono completamente in disaccordo con l'opinione espressa dal tizio, ma:

  • non sarei neanche dovuto venirne a conoscenza
  • è una frase su una chat, ho letto e sentito cose molto più violente, anche da politici e gente pubblica, senza conseguenze
  • i CPR sono una merda. Dobbiamo smettere di trattare le persone così. Altrimenti poi ci troveremo veramente i terroristi in casa

Ho visto il video qui sotto, certe cose non sono accettabili, proprio mancanza di qualità:

  • la vite della portiera che si svita
  • la tenuta delle guarnizioni del finestrino
  • il finestrino che tocca lo specchietto
  • il cavo di ricarica non ha una molla per farlo rientrare (che ha un aspirapolvere da 80 €)

Altre cose su cui hanno risparmiato

  • niente luce interna
  • sedili scomodi
  • finestrini che si aprono a metà
  • niente luce di retromarcia
  • le frecce che non ritornano

Sono tutte cose che su una vecchia panda c'erano, e secondo me è un termine di paragone utile.

Lo spazio vuoto non utilizzato davanti ai sedili immagino sia per assorbire l'urto in caso di tamponamento. Meglio non averci messo un portaoggetti, sono contento che ci abbiano pensato

Honestly I don't know the authors or books, but I know that the the Storiybundles are usually not bad.

The Universe of Adventure Sci-Fi Bundle - Curated by independent authors John Wilker & Dave Walsh: When it comes to science fiction, there are a lot of different flavors. Through the ages, science fiction has been many things to a great many people. It’s never been just one thing. Just one type of story. There's sci-fi that's quiet and contemplative, sci-fi that sticks to our understanding of modern science, then there's sci-fi that spans different galaxies and times, or even sci-fi that warps our understanding of reality.

For $5:

  • Ghost Pirate Gambit by Jessie Kwak

Morning sarà gratuito fino alla fine della settimana.

Probabilmente tra tutti contenuti de ilPost riservati agli abbonati, è il più famoso e il più appetibile.

Io lo ascolto tutte le mattine e, oltre a tenermi informato, Francesco Costa riesce a spiegare in modo mai noioso perché i giornali sono quel che sono, perché le notizie vengono date in un certo modo etc. C'è una parte di meta-giornalismo che è veramente interessante.

Insomma, vi consiglio di provare!
