It's because of market conditions. Low interest -> Companies spend money and chase growth High interest -> Companies try to monetize users

Might be worth pointing people towards https://sh.itjust.works/ as they don't have too much users yet and the admin claims to have a lot of compute at their disposal.

Yep, I think this dam also supplied water to Crimea so it might indicate that Russia doesn't think they can hold Crimea in particular.

I want more people.to.use federated social media. Lemmy and kbin are among the best federated social media they just need more users and content.

Read the main post from the developer they mention Lemmy and mastodon

thanks for the link, I have fixed it now

It just seems to limit the content that is accessible to me.

Some counterpoints to this:

1. To my knowledge servers try to federate with a wide range of other servers. They will only ever block each other if the content is problematic.
2. You can create your own server that federates with every instance you want. Chances are, someone had the same problem as you and is dooing this already.
3. We could actually see more content than reddit eventually. Some community forums haven't migrated to reddit because reddit would have final control/ownership of the community. This isn't a problem with Lemmy. More communities like this one might migrate from isolated forums to Lemmy.

Fedora is a good choice. It is stable while being fairly up to date. The only issue is that (I think) proprietary drivers aren't included by default.

Yep, a lot of people (including me) moved to beehaw for that reason.

For anyone who doesn't know; Helix is an editor with vim like keybindings with more out of the box functionality than vim.

I am using it too and like it.

The only problem I ran into is that the search and replace function (across.multiple files isn't very good).

I don't really think Lemmy.ml will have very good retention of new users. Because:

1. New users will mostly come from reddit or mastodon.
2. Most users of reddit and mastodon willing to leave are anti corporate, anti authoritarian, anti-war, pro human rights.
3. A lot of posts that you see on Lemmy (either from Lemmy.ml or lemmygrad) are pro-russia, pro china or anti-western to the point of being really annoying. Its not fun to talk to people without a hint of nuance.

So it is not surprising that new users will get turned off by this and leave (or move to beehaw).

It is very hard to learn on your own. You will have problems that are completely new to you. Luckily most of these problems have ready been saved by someone, google and chatGPT is your friend.

Try out this website: phind.com It is a search engine optimised for programmers.

These are good points. In general I think it is good to increase bus frequency everywhere.

However I do still think that we should prioritise adding bus services to try and maximize usage (and stop as many car journeys as possible). Population density is definitely a factor here but (as you pointed out) so are other things like car usage in the area.

Two objective things that I can think of where cargo bikes might be better:

1. If you want to go backwards (e.g. if you are on a narrow path or have parked your bike). Reversing anything with a trailer is more difficult so cargo hikes have an advantage here.
2. Busy or narrow places. It is harder to be aware of a trailer as it is behind you while cargo bikes often have the cargo in front of the rider.

I've never used one but I imagine they have better balance and manoeuvrebility than adding a trailer

I guess one of the main problems is that in some cases suburbia doesn't have the population density for bus services to be cost affective (buses should be subsidised but cost is still a factor). Even if everyone in suburbia stopped driving this would still be a problem.

One solution is to have some sort of local transport hub where there are more frequent bus services as well as facilities to store bikes/scooters. This would probably only work well if you have cycle path infrastructure linking suburbia to these transport hubs. There will probably still need to be buses going to suburbia for people who can't bike/scooter to the transport hubs.

In my small local city there is a train station with decent connections to other larger cities.

The problem is that the main bus stop is near the high street, about 5-10 minuets walk away from the train station. This makes it much harder to catch buses too/from the train station.

I don't know sorry.
