oh i just assumed luxembourg was too small for a tram, but no it’s even being extended to the airport!

there’s something particularly appealing about this kind of old kinda shitty but clearly still in use railway infrastructure, it implies that the service keeps running despite probably not being the most “economical” option.

at least here in sweden we just scrap any rail services that aren’t basically mandatory for transportation to function, we’ve abandoned the entire northern inland railway and the city Norrköping is kinda famous for being small yet keeping their tram network (we used to have way way way more tram networks than one would think), so this kind of thing is just so nice and quaint to me.

how do you even manage that? was it just a particularly poorly designed road where they slapped a lower speed limit on it? because i cannot imagine being physically able to reach that speed on most low-speed roads.

so like, they’re just admitting that he doesn’t give a fuck about the working class? that’s almost impressive

shitting

sounds like you’re writing code twice lmao

and yet you participate in society, curious

it’s definitely just mirroring the side of the head at runtime

careful, “git api” almost makes sense

i mean, i think most chemists are organic

few are free range though

what? no, a normal periodic table has oxygen and carbon too!

why even bother with users anymore?

I think i have 3 big criteria:

• Track record
• Structuring things to pre-emptively keep themselves (and more importantly, those who might take over later) honest and aligned with the collective good
• Good people involved and ideally in charge of the project

Other people have mentioned things like venture capital and that’s certainly something to bear in mind (arguably part of the structure), but there are projects like Matrix where that feels quite marginal to me, the aforementioned aspects more than make up for it.
Like when the main figurehead of the project goes on stage and nerds out about the code, that’s a pretty fucking good sign in my book.

it’s basically the exact same thing as i’ve seen with IRC, people keep saying it’s decentralized and then when asked to show an example they just go “yeah well uhh obviously it’s not externally decentralized duhhh! It’s ✨internally decentralized✨” which just means they protocol makes horizontal scaling easy…

it’s also excluding nonhumans, which is very strange for a space agency
