@jonnn@kolektiva.social Yeah, I mean
If there's any difference between Indy and LA it's because the cops haven't started attacking protestors indiscriminately yet
yet
@manicExpressive@kolektiva.social Is the "collaboration" part of that description important to you?
Since urbanists.social admin is dormant (which is completely fine, you do you) I am doing the good fedi citizen thing and migrating to techhub, which is probably more aligned with my interests anyway
Sad to leave the server that helped me escape Twitter, but I sort of enjoy that migration is a normal part of the fedi experience and mastodon is built to handle it. Regular revolutions keep things spicy
Am I surprised Sahil Lavingia, creator of Gumroad, went to work for Elon at DOGE? No. Am I disappointed? Yeah kinda. Is it redemptive that he's counter-messaging, now? Maybe a little
Not to argue with anybody who teaches classical logic, but I really feel like the 5 lectures on complexity should have come before big O and the exam that included big O
With takebacks and hints I'm like, 1200 ELO come at me
@castanea_jo@ni.hil.ist It's the same price on lego as it was in the store: so people are buying these retail and flipping for $70 on ebay
@castanea_jo@ni.hil.ist Literally, it's so cool
I carried it around in my cart for a few aisles before giving it up

@MichaelTBacon Cops who are pissed that they're being required to follow the law should not be cops

@tmstreet@urbanists.social It's so cartoonish
Like I used to imagine that people were mostly separate from and uninvolved with the changes to city planning and infrastructure around them
Learning more and more that a lot of people had strong opinions in favor of cutting down all of the trees to fit more cars

It's like how banana flavored candies are a correct reference to the taste of specific bananas that went extinct and don't exist anymore
A parking spot is what that space used to or ought to be, not what it is now
Replying to
@pleaseclap@urbanists.social
"We want more parking for cars" literally, not metaphorically or analogously, translates to: "We want to repurpose more green space for automobiles"
I was today years old when I learned "parking" literally used to refer to civic green space lining the roads
So every time you say parking you're directly referencing a thing that was lost during the automobile's aggressive and costly takeover of public spaces

I'd also like to correct the record: this is actually my real face

He blocked me
Baselessly attacking me instead of explaining his clear derision towards open source saves me time, for sure

Yes that's what I said, and this kind of hostility in the face of a simple criticism doesn't support your claim

People would host their own
It's weird it's like, despite the stated purpose of the project you don't seem to place a lot of stock in good faith gestures
I wonder why
