  • End to end travel time is the biggest drawback of public transportation. Getting from my city to the next major city is an 8 min train ride or a 20 min drive. But getting from my home to my friends in that city is easily twice as fast by car.

    It's a huge problem. If you live next to the train station and like to go to a pub right next to your destination's train station, all is well. But for those who like to visit friends instead of going to the nearest pub, public transportation just kinda falls apart.

    My wife wanted to pick up our dog that was staying with me at a friend's place before coming home from work. Because the friend lives a little bit outside of the major city it would have been a 2h20m train ride for the whole trip. Or 30 min by car.

  • is reddit itself using upvote and repost bots now?

    I used to be a lot on r/travel. Back then there were posts with pictures that had upvote ls in the triple to quadruple digit range. There were also user questions, usually in the double digits.

    Now the majority is just discussions that mysteriously have thousands of upvotes. And some of them quite boring. That must be bots or fakes directly by reddit. No way this happens naturally.

    Is this common practice now or is that something r/travel did specifically?

  • It's neither. It is wilful ignorance. All those studies sorting political affiliations by education, IQ and whatnot never show a difference that is nearly as large as these kind of comments suggest. There are small trends, but not more.

    The average IQ of republicans isn't much lower. They just choose to squander their potential. Never underestimate the potential often human beings to lie to themselves. It is one of our most honed skills.

  • Some trouble
  • Half a year ago I started using Ubuntu for work. I hate it. Everything I want to do I can do with windows as well, just easier. Much easier. What I'm left with is a lot of theoretical benefits I'm never going to use and a whole lot of Googleing how to do basic things.

    On top of that the system isn't nearly as stable as Windows. Tons of display issues and even crashes. On a fresh install on a new developer laptop nonetheless. Speak for yourself, but for me the experience on Ubuntu is worse in almost every way.

  • Biggest concern for me is the broken auto scrolling/updating. I can't use this site properly as long as the list of topics doesn't stay in place long enough for me to finish reading the headline.

    Hopefully after this is fixed I'll start contributing.
