News@lemmy.world•Los Angeles Wants Its Citizens to Stay at Home for the 2028 Olympics
29·2 years agoThey could relive major streets and create dedicated bus lanes.
They could prioritize the surface train stoplights.
They could create protected bike and scooter lanes.
Or they could blame the residents for trying to get around town.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the best TV show that you have ever seen?
7·2 years agoI liked being disappointed with a few episodes only to realize they are far better than most anything else out there.
Rewatched it recently and other than pagers and pay phones no longer existing it’s still great.
What a Kendall Roy thing to say.
Let’s be fair to MC, she created some Christmas bangers.
I like how democratic it can be.
I dislike how democratic it can be.
There’s too much fragmentation. There also isn’t an “anchor store” that brings people in and increases activity in more niche areas.

43·2 years agoAll high rise office buildings should be incentivized to have residential space. Let’s try and fix the housing issues and reduce cars/traffic at the same time.

politics @lemmy.world•The propane industry’s weird obsession with school buses, explained
16·2 years agoI don’t understand the issue. EV buses have existed for decades. EV buses that run two routes a day and are parked the rest of the time sound like a perfect option for EV. Combustion of any sort results in pollution.
Big propane can eat their own accessories for all I care.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella admits giving up on Windows Phone and mobile was a mistake
311·2 years agoThey literally couldn’t pay the devs. Netflix for instance flat out refused to have blackberry pay for 2 full time devs to maintain an app.
Netflix looked at the market share and determined that there was 0 benefit. The people that were on blackberry devices already had a Netflix account.
Additionally Blackberry store apps were compelling for devs. Dev feedback included ease of development and more importantly they made a lot more money on the blackberry store than on iOS/android, both because the cut was better and they could jack the prices up because the customers were not nearly as frugal.
To get into mobile would require a massive overhaul of windows apps to get them mobile-friendly
Oh look, that’s exactly what they did and now we have PWAs for lots of apps. Maybe MS is getting ready to take a stab at mobile again.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Tech workers - what did your IT Security team do that made your life hell and had no practical benefit?
4·2 years agoLocal admin of your interactive account is just. Ad though.
I get into story games a lot more now. If it’s hard, repetitive, or a grind it simply isn’t fun, I have reality for those types of challenges.

292·2 years agoIt’s possible they are both awful, but individually yes this report is rough to read.
Okdoomer is great. I’m really surprised at the amount of content they can shit out.
Congratulations China! I’m hopeful the US can be collaborative competition!

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is there a Linux based OS for public computers, such as at a library or a PC cafe?
414·2 years agoLibraries are not companies, they don’t need to make a profit. They are supported by taxes. The computers they have are old because they work perfectly fine.
They probably don’t pay for licensing, and the cost to maintain non-windows OS would be more due to having to hire people with that skill set.



I’m ok with YouTube. I pay for a large music service and get no YouTube ads.
Every other service has only made things worse. Netflix has done the least by not yet pushing ads.
