Speed cameras aren’t surveillance.

But it can’t accommodate that speed, people get injured and killed. Hence why they roll out the 20 zones. The average UK main road is like 1/3 the width of a North American residential cul-de-sac remember.

UK highways departments have had essentially zero budget for 2+ decades now. There’s no funding to completely retrofit every single residential street to match the new signage. Most of them are already incredibly narrow and tight compared to your average North American street.

Buy windows? 🤯🤯🤯

I assume the Siri and Google assistant white noise just download the 20 min file when you ask and just repeat that. Whereas an 8h podcast of a 20 minute repeated sound will use 8h of bandwidth

Shared paths are more dangerous to use if you’re going at any speed. Motorists aren’t looking for cyclists when driving over them into side roads and driveways, and cyclists lose priority at every side road.

The rider didn’t break a single UK traffic law

In the UK filtering between lanes is both legal, encouraged, and widely accepted on both motor bikes and bicycles

Lots of Americans in this thread. This sort of riding is legal and encouraged in the UK and can be done quite safely. Cycling groups put out videos showing these techniques: https://youtu.be/VNr762i9oQU

Obviously it’s a fairly seasoned cyclist thing, and more and more cycle infrastructure is being rolled out so people don’t have to do this, but I do object to people from North America in this thread applying their laws and cultural norms to another country where this is quite normal

Filtering is legal and encouraged in the UK. There are cycling UK videos showing this technique as best practice. Please don’t bring your US centric views to a UK video if you don’t understand our laws

This will be controversial too but having the same community on each instance doesn’t work either. There are 3 major Android communities and none have very much content, and lots of reposts etc

Really wish there was more content. I’ve been trying to post stuff but I never get any comments either. Anything other than the few mainstream communities is just dead

More video is uploaded every minute than anyone can ever watch in a lifetime. It costs money to store and serve all that.

Kiwi Browser on Android already supports chrome extensions…

It just seems to be based on an old version of Ubuntu too, half the features of my laptop don’t work without serious tweaks while fedora just works

I can see that, before I uninstalled it, it barely took 2 minute to open it and see that still only about 3 of the people I followed on Twitter are now on it, and my feed is still full of celebrity nonsense rather than anything interesting.

Lawns in the UK are nothing like lawns in the US. I never water it or use weedkiller and it stays green all year. It has buttercups and clover growing among it. I only mow it infrequently when it gets very long.

Short for string trim
