You mean you are?

There was a story about them deleting accounts with games, followed by articles saying it was only for accounts with no games.

So it was a non-story back then as well?

People going mad about this and it’s complete non-issue.

They’re not more or less in the way just because they’re electric.

I’ve never understood the hate for them. Sure people leave them in annoying places and inconsiderate with them but that’s not the scooters fault. Also it’s a very easy problem to solve if authorities could be bothered, if a scooter is found in the way then fine the last person to use it.

It always reminds me of North Korea, or China. No matter what else you do, you must be seen to believe in the right thing or else you are some kind of evil deviant.

What the religion or belief system is actually is is about is almost irrelevant. The important thing is to believe, understanding it is entirely not required and almost frowned upon.

I think they were being a bit unreasonable in expecting everyone else to have verified sign-ups. It would be prohibitively difficult to verify all of the users especially with the recent influx.

If the other instances had tried that I think Lemmy would be dead on arrival. It would have taken so long to verify each user that most people would have got bored by the time they’re approval came through and would never have even bothered signing in.

I do wish there was a convenient way to move your account from one instance to another.

When I chose my instance I didn’t really know what I was doing so I just picked something at random, and unfortunately the instance I picked isn’t exactly physically close to where I lived so the load times are a bit slow. Although they’re still faster than Reddit so 🤷

It’s wrong anyway because the temperatures are high for the current time of year. Even the winter temps.

So with the northern hemisphere that means that they are higher than they’ve ever been before in the Southern hemisphere it just means they’re higher the winter then they’ve ever been before but they’re still high.

So it’s a confusing and non relevant distinction.

“Climate change doesn’t exist because of winter.”

I don’t experience this and I’ve never heard anyone else claim to experience it you positive that you’re forced quitting the app?

Yeah, because it was needed for PWAs to be viable.

There is no problem if you don’t just press random buttons without reading the dialog box. Like OP clearly did.

Like most problems in IT I blame the users for randomly clicking button they don’t understand.

Init is part of the specification so it was always going to be added.

I guess they are reducing the number of people it would need to support.

Also I need a new job.

It’s going to be absolute hell because homes in these countries are designed to retain heat, have no air conditioning, and typically are built with large windows to let as much light in as possible.

Cities, you just said keyword there cities, you can do it in cities because people want to live in cities. They don’t want to live on the outskirts. Most of these offices are not in the city centre because the city centre is a really expensive place to have an office, only massive corporations are based there.

The vast majority of office space is in low rent districts on the periphery of cities. Because no one lives there there’s no shops, no leisure centres, no schools, no parks or other green spaces. You can’t just convert every building into a housing unit without considering the surrounding environment.

It would be infinitely cheaper to just build homes where you actually want them, than to try and convert a building that was never designed for the task.

I know it’s not trendy or hip or exciting to say that, but when you look at the economics it just doesn’t make sense outside of some very limited circumstances.

They can be, but do you want them to be. Most are not in convenient places.

Yeah but a business park or industrial estate is no place you want to live, so it’s not like thoss offices can be converted.

Well they do, because of the reason that was just given.

I have a lamp and that has an LED that is on all the time.

Why would a lamp have a permanently on LED? That’s what I get for getting cheap crap from China, rather than premium crap from China.
