  • I'm using Sync free version and $20 seems pretty steep for me. I like it but not sure about that price compared to ad free versions of other apps.

    I am already donating to my instance though 😄

  • If We Want a Shift to Walking, We Need To Prioritize Dignity
  • 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.

  • New Lemmy app "Connect for Lemmy"
  • 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.

  • Walkable Neighborhoods Help Adults Socialize, Increase Community
  • 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

  • YouTube --> PeerTube Next?
  • 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.

  • /r/blind community migrates to Lemmy
  • If you're really serious I would first recommend you familiarize yourself with the needs of blind users generally. Like try using the internet with your eyes closed and a screen reader to understand how a blind person would interact with a website. Maybe you can ask around or Google some tips for getting started with that.

    I had a former coworker who was a UX designer and he taught himself to use a screen reader for this reason since he was required to ensure anything he designed was accessible.

  • Electric bikes are the most climate-friendly way to travel - Triangle Blog Blog
  • Well you can actually build about 130 or so ebike batteries for every average car battery so if batteries are your concern ebikes are much better in that regard. In general bikes are way more efficient than cars and honestly at should try to limit the usage of all cars, electric or not,as much as possible and ebikes are a great alternative in a lot of cases.

    I have no problems with unassisted bikes think of course!

  • Blueberries growing this year

    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!

    perfectdailygrind.com How can specialty coffee producers use coffee flowers?

    Flowers are an essential part of healthy coffee plant growth, but can producers use them to diversify their income streams?

    How can specialty coffee producers use coffee flowers?

    However, it’s important to note that unlike other coffee waste byproducts, flowers can be used as natural fertilisers. Ultimately, this means that they already contribute to a circular economy model in the coffee industry.

    What's the best Linux alternative to Windows for gaming

    I use Windows for my desktop PC but I'm also a fan of Linux for work and programming.

    I'm not really liking the direction windows is taking so it would be nice to explore some other alternatives. I mostly use my desktop for gaming, so I'm interested in how people are gaming on Linux

    Don't like how Lemmy handles pinned posts

    Seems like no matter which feed/sort you choose any communities with pinned posts will always show at the top. Even if I sort by new the pinned posts will remain at the top. It makes me feel like there's not much happening since every time I open Lemmy I see the same top pinned posts. I have to always scroll past them to see any other posts

    Is there a reasoning behind why they always show on top of every feed?

    Is it normal for blueberry bush leaves to turn reddish?

    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!
