Caltrain and Metrolink (California, USA regional trains) have the right idea. Low income Americans by and large carry EBT cards. They give a 50% discount on tickets when scanned. Of course this could be technologically easily made free but it’s a start and the remaining challeges are financial and political.

I use it sometimes to find out which path is estimated to be the fastest if I know multiple ways there.

Without GPS I know how to get there but I’d tend to pick a way and stick with it, which might cause me to get there slower due to traffic or a roadblock.

One time when a major cellular carrier went completely offline which rendered many people’s phone navigators useless, I found it was busier than normal on the main highway. I suspected it was because people all took the familiar highway route instead of via local streets when navigating home that day.

It’s non-free, it’s non-libre, but it does pass the bar of open source software. The OSI, EFF, RMS or whoever don’t have to say it is in order for it to be true.

You can distribute it but there are limitations on it, you can make a fork of Grayjay that is free to use, review, re-distribute and add parts to it adhering to other open source licenses from whence they were developed as long as it’s non-commercial, and doesn’t make any representations on behalf of FUTO or Rossman, essentially.

The same government that presented another deal so good you couldn’t refuse!

Whew! All clear, it’s a meme. Pack it up, people.👮‍♂️👮‍♀️

Reminds me of decades-old sites:

x100

My suggestions were limit number to 5 user applicable tags, communities having a whitelist of tags, and an instance’s slur filter applying to tags.

Ah OK, so the cancellation/change fee is the price of the new ticket, haha.

My commits comments end up like this most of the time

Rentlar committed: Fixed a, b, c, changed file x, added y improvement, deleted unnecessary z

– 15 minutes later – Rentlar committed: Shit I broke something, fixed.

– 10 minutes later – Rentlar committed: fix the damn formatting complaints

That video is hilarious. The turret and barrel look like this after firing:

Many payment providers would want websites to implement CAPTCHA for blocking spam and fraud attempts.

I’m sorry, but you’re just going to have to walk to a store and pay in cash if you don’t want to have any data tracking done at all. Online you’ll often have to pick one or the other: data tracking, or flimsy security/data protection. The phone solution is appropriate in my humble opinion, but you’re welcome to hold your own views on your principles. If you’re hard set against a company tracking ANYBODY via 3rd parties to that level, then I bet you will be very hard-pressed to ever find a computer through an online marketplace from ANY company that will fit that bill perfectly and suits your other needs.

I don’t know if there are European regulations that prevent it but I could see the cancellation fee being like 25€, lol.

I mean, go ahead, fork it, I can’t stop you from doing that.

The reason why people still use the main fork is that at least someone is there fulltime making sure lemmy works. Now all the issues that were in Lemmy are now the responsibility of you and the people you convinced to develop for your fork to fix. On top of that, problems caused by the fixes you made also have to be fixed.

Have a 2 hour phone chat (with spouse?)

Buy a note book and write a diary to remind yourself of everything that has happened in the last year.

There’s !music@beehaw.org where you could ask.

If you have a toilet that doesn’t flush, then it’s not too far-fetched.

I once opened a glass bottle of soda with my teeth, having nothing else around. It worked but it wasn’t worth it.

I can hardly wait for these kinds of projects to come to fruition! Hopefully investment transitions away from building new and bigger roads to bigger, better and faster railway infrastructure.

Same here. The limey taste of hops makes the beer for me, when I get a lighter beer I’m more often than not left disappointed, like I’m drinking bubbly water that’s been sitting in a pipe for 25 years. Craft IPAs on the other hand range from “meh it’s alright” to “this is amazing”.
