not with that attitude

bc it is? 🤨

plenty of places w/ no extradition 🤷‍♀️

mfs doing stuff like this really need to stop living in america bruh 💀

it allows you to write graphics code in a backend-independent manner (supporting vulkan and metal for example), looking a little closer, it looks like a nice level of abstraction over various rendering backends 👀

these tracks are in helsinki, and these are finnish trams, i think skoda may be exporting them to germany, and i don’t know what you guys do with them there, but these are pretty comfortable personally (even comparing to SBB trains, which travel so smoothly that it makes me dizzy, bc there’s very little sensory points of reference)

you’re most likely having a poor experience bc the tram tracks have fallen into disrepair, bc even comparatively old trams (from the 1970s and the like) can be pretty comfortable on proper tracks (take budapest, their fleet consist largely of older models, but due to good track maintenance and relative straightness of tracks themselves, it’s a pretty good experience)

not sure why you’re extrapolating your particular experience onto something so vast and vague as “public transport systems outside of china and singapore”, not to mention that a decent amount of comfort is a baseline that good systems of public transport operate off of, with accessibility, frequency and location being more important factors

idk maybe it’s just frivolous thinking, but imo since social media is corrupted by corporate profiteering brought about by venture capitalists, a social media platform that can be scaled and run very cheaply and in a decentralised fashion (think JUST text posts, all media has to be somehow hosted externally) could genuinely succeed, and be BOTH a mainstream place, while also being friendly to its users, and creating a friendly and cozy environment 🤷‍♀️

i’m not sure where you grew up and live, but as someone who grew up in a very large city (10m+), i can tell you that children aren’t stupid, if they grow up in an environment in which they’re given an appropriate amount of responsibility in the face of danger, while also explained the possibilities of danger and how to avoid it, they grow up to be pretty responsible, and certainly wouldn’t be endangered (or really bothered in any way) by something as trivial as grassy tram tracks

there’s been like 3 deaths total from tram collisions in the last 200 years 💀

elegant systems in like Singapore or China

how’s grass on tram tracks contradictory to any of that

ok, then (depending on what kind of consulting you do though) you should know that operating and migrating such a services is a big challenge?

i’m not even sure what we’re debating: twitter is incurring a lot of hosting charges, and they’re trying to mitigate that…

while twitter as a concept is a pretty simple platform, scaling, load balancing, etc a service with hundreds of millions of users is pretty complicated

i’ve got a split ortho keyboard called corne (you can check my post history for assembly and final result pics), and for a split ergonomic keyboard i’d strongly recommend going for a wireless version (if available) and i wouldn’t recommend ortho layout unless you’re super committed (if you ever type on smth like a laptop, switch back and forth between ortho and non-ortho is a huge pain, while switching between split and non-split is perfectly fine)

i don’t really understand how you can be so confident while knowing nothing or very little about running such an insanely complicated platform as twitter

i’m assuming that cessation of twitter’s existence (due to lack of funds taken up by skyrocketing hosting bills) would be an even worse strategy for retaining users and maintaining desirable stock value
