It’s this end of tipping culture?

Buses don’t have their own lane on the Harbour Bridge.

Light Rail moves more people quicker, and does not get stuck in traffic.

Take out the road crossings, and take out the Light Rail tunnel from North Shore to Albany (instead convert the Northern Buswsy to Light Rail). With an improved PT corridor, you should expect to see less demand for the additional road crossing, and we should be thinking about more climate friendly options.

And the Light Rail plan from CBD to Mangere should be on the surface along Dominion Road. I don’t get the obsession with tunnels. They are expensive and more difficult to access.

Not sure if you saw the news, but the BBC are experimenting with their own Mastadon instance. They can probably afford to host video.

I understand that many instances are run by volunteers and hobbyists. But that doesn’t mean that a business such as BBC couldn’t come and host their own instance.

And I don’t think I implied that you wanted to ban video. I just want to see video integrated natively into Lemmy so that instances can turn it on or off. A Youtube link is no good. I don’t like being rickrolled.

The Deaf Community uses sign language which can only be captured and distributed as video. Many Deaf people did not have a good education, therefore their English is not at a level to be fluent. Their first language will be Sign Language. My first Language is Sign Language, but I am also fluent in English. I was privileged to be able to have a good education, thanks to my parents who supported me and made good choices for my educational needs.

Now, back to the point about video in posts and comments. I would like to see an opportunity for a Sign Language instance. There may be funding to cover the cost of storage to allow this, but this can only be a reality of video can be implemented natively.

Other instances can choose to turn this feature off? Let there be an option 👍

For the Deaf Community, their first language is Sign Language. I am Deaf myself, and I am privileged to be fluent in English, however I cannot say that my Deaf friends are also fluent in English. Many of them have the English level of an 8-year old (because of their poor education) so writing in English is not “Deaf-friendly”

Any plans to integrate video into posts and comments natively?

Waiting for the Climate Change Commission to shoot this proposal down.

But why is it a high-profile case? Who is she?

I’m not sure if I would consult with a doctor about whether a waste to energy plant is a good idea. They should probably stick to what they are trained and qualified for.

Don’t give them ideas!

Well, I’ll be pleased to see my friends stop calling it cuntdown

The World Cup could be referring to so many things!

We have the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023, Mens Rugby World Cup 2023, Netball World Cup 2023, Mens Cricket World Cup 2023. And there’s probably more.

I think this problem could be partly solved with the option to curate your own feeds. Currently I am using Connect for Lemmy, and I see 3 feeds, Subscribed, Local, and All. It would be good to be able to create a new feed and populate it with content from specific communities.

And going even further, I should be able to make my feed public, so other people can subscribe to my custom feed too.

Maybe this is already an option with some of the other Lemmy apps?

The moment you step into the field is fair game. The players should be allowed to attack.

I believe that because the earth is spinning on an axis, then it’s difficult, if not impossible, for the pollution to cross over. It’s always going to get dragged into a vortex towards the poles. In the same way a hurricane or a cyclone does not cross the equator. It’s physics.

Laser Kiwi can fuck right off! It was funny at first, but now it’s just pathetic.
