Bicycle insurance and plates? Why? That makes zero sense. We have these for cars because cars are dangerous, not just for funsies. Bicycles don't pose the same danger.

Walking... if you have time and physical ability, but who cares about that, right? It's so cool and eco-friendly to say "just walk 20 minutes".

Yeah it is cool and eco-friendly to walk 20 minutes (assuming one is able-bodied, as you mention.)

More trains, trams, bicycle and/or e-scooter rentals, walking (a mile is what, 20 minutes walk at most?)

OP linked to an image in the article rather than the article itself, lol

Here's the article!

Hey OP, you can edit posts on Lemmy if you want to fix it!

I've seen that Medium article shared here before and find it very unconvincing. While I agree that framing the Proton CEO as an evil Nazi lapdog is a bit much, here's a comment I saw on Lemmy another time this was discussed that explains why the article is flawed better than I could.

I just took an edible and it's starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.

Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.

Oh, I've never played CS 1.6 so I can't directly comment but the main thing I hear is how different the mechanics are.

I imagine nostalgia plays no small role, as well.

They're completely different games, but if you're unfamiliar with the Counter-Strike series I can see how it can be confusing.

Counter-Strike 1.6 refers to the original game in the series, which ran on the GoldSrc engine. The "1.6" refers to the final release of this game from 2000.

The next installments in the series were Counter-Strike: Source (2004) and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (2012) which both ran on the Source engine.

Counter-Strike 2 was released in 2023, as an update replacing CS:GO. It runs on the Source 2 engine, which is to what the "2" in the name is referring.

I got a new job, and the group chat is on WhatsApp, so I'm looking into running a Synapse server with a bridge to it. I really don't want to have to use Meta's apps on my phone.

From what I've read so far, it seems like it's going to be the most convoluted install process I'll have encountered in my self-hosting journey. I'm excited to tackle it, but also a bit overwhelmed. Which is why I've been putting it off :P

For anyone wondering, lemm.ee is hosted in Finland, as per this post by the admin.

I'm also on GrapheneOS running IronFox and customizing the homepage works fine for me.

I get that and totally respect it, and I never pursue further conversation unless I get a chatty vibe from the customer.

However it's insanely rude to ignore me to my face after I've just asked you a question. If someone answers "Fine. Cappuccino to-go." that's really all I'm asking for. I'm not simply an interface through which you get coffee, I'm a human person, and I think customer service staff deserve to be treated as such.
