I think they might go the other way and use it as leverage to push Sony to release cross platform games
I've used it and like it except I noticed that it apparently has a lot of 3rd party trackers. It apparently tries to send data to many 3rd party companies including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Twitter.
I'm not sure why it needs to send this much data to third parties, but it makes me feel a little turned off by this app.
It's surprising how often I can actually bump into people that I know when I'm walking or biking around. Like other parents from my child's school or coworkers.
I think people really underestimate how antisocial cars are and how much car centric design actually harms our communities
A lot of people in this thread talking about how it's not feasible because content creators wouldn't get paid and I agree if you expect that same quality of content.
But I think peertube opens the door for a lot of the more organic content of just people sharing interesting/entertaining/educational videos with others without any expectation of being paid. I've already watched some really good videos on peertube that feel a lot more like the old days of YouTube.
If you edit the URL and remove everything before reddit.com and the change it to old.reddit.com you can view it without the app
Here's some blueberries. Our plants are still pretty young so we don't get to many berries yet but we're super excited to have blueberries for years to come!
I like that this article preemptively acknowledges that ebikes are not always the right transportation mode for every single thing, but they don't have to be. Too often whenever ebikes come up you get those people going "but what if I need to bring a couch which derails from the real point. It's like saying trains aren't an efficient way to move people because those people can't also move furniture.
There are still a lot of trips that can be replaced by ebikes and they can do more than most people probably realize
No, an e-bike is not going to get you to the beach. You’re not going to be able to transport a couch sectional. And it won’t work for your six-kid carpool to the soccer game. But there is no reason that a single vehicle needs to accomplish every transportation need. Use the car for the carpool, and use the e-bike for shorter trips in-town, to the pharmacy, out to dinner, to meet friends, or even to the grocery store, You’d be amazed what you can carry with the right equipment.
I think this is the beauty of decentralization is that individual servers can still maintain smaller communities and still be part of the broader network
I've seen a lot of posts about how having the same community across multiple servers is a bad thing, but I disagree for this reason (and others).
I've found several good videos/channels on urbanists.video which is kind of specific to urbanism but still there's some good stuff. The videos have a lot lower production quality than most YouTube channels, but I actually kind of like how casual it is.
They're just making videos because they have something interesting/funny/educational to share and they're not out there trying to make money.
No way am I going to pre-order a game in this era of half baked releases and especially not a game from Bethesda which is as well known for their rampant bugs as their compelling gameplay
It's definitely a new concept for people. I've been on Mastodon for a while so I'm already used to the idea of multiple instances
I think over time more people will figure it out and it won't be so confusing. Like how people intuitively understand that if you have a Gmail account you can still send emails to people on Outlook
Atlanta resident here and all I can say is I've never seen an issue the city is more united on than the stop cop city movement.
One of 3 plants all planted last year after we bought them from the nursery. This one flowered but never fruited like the others. It did have some decent growth after it dropped the flowers so there's that.
I noticed some redness on one of the others but this one has the most red leaves. Not sure if there might be a nutrient missing or some other issue or if this is completely normal!
This is a good article. Has a lot of examples showing why streets have a good or bad pedestrian experience.
It's not as simple as number of lanes or even the quality of the sidewalk. A lot of it really comes down to development patterns. You can really feel the difference when you're in a place not built for walking. Being on a well constructed sidewalk far away from any buildings because there's a giant parking lot in between just feels wrong.
There are a few places very close to my house I refuse to walk to because the pedestrian experience is terrible. You feel out of place, unwelcome, and unsafe.
