  • It is really sad that Patrick Breyer will no longer be part of the European Parliament. His work was very important. I can also really recommend the 37C3 video!

    Global sales of polluting SUVs hit record high in 2023, data shows | Half of all new cars are now SUVs, making them a major cause of the intensifying climate crisis, say experts
  • I just found that the 16 largest Ships emit as much as all cars. Did not check the source further.

    But that really depends on how you measure and define pollution. As others have pointed out container ships are still pretty efficient. But of course they should get better too. Like everything!

    As I have said, I did not fact check it further because it is quite late here. Just wanted to give information to that claim and please correct your statement (:

  • This song was the first one I heard of him and it gave me chills too. Also 2 or 3 am and going down that rabbit hole since then. 7 am now. I hope that too!

    [video] Europeans love sleeper trains. Why don’t we? | CBC Creator Network
  • Same here, every time I was driving train at night in germany. I rarely was in a sleeper train and if I was. Only in the normal seating compartments. They are just way to expensive. I sometimes look for fun what a flight would cost. And mostly its more than the half...

    And don't get me started with train driving to other European countries

    [meme] Trains -- not driverless cars -- are the future of transportation
  • That is correct. It would need a lot of change in the US. But I can say in Europe it works pretty well.

    Mixed Zoning and less suburbs are just two of the changes that would make a lot of lifes a lot better!

    [meme] Trains -- not driverless cars -- are the future of transportation
  • Then be against surveillance in general... Its also a big problem. Not only a problem of 15 Minute cities. Cameras can also track your car quite easliy. Through the whole city.

    All I need is less than 10 minutes away and I rarely need to go further for anything. And I love it. Not car dependend and no surveillance here.

  • As we have seen a rise of toxic behavior we have decided that it would be time for some rules. We would love other ideas too and feel free to discuss it here.

    Also we are thinking about, to put in an Automoderation tool that could help us a lot. Because its currently not easy for us to scan every new comments and reports are rare currently. We want your opinons on that too, because its important to us that this community is based on the people here.

    The shortlist that we have currently as idea for the Rules:

    • Be Kind to each other
    • No Hate speech
    • Dont harass people
    • No Racism, sexism and any other discrimination
    • Dont attack other people just because they have differnt opinions (Stay on Topic)
    • Do not double post

    I would love to see it in more cities/countries, because I use it very often. I don't have the money to buy one for myself so the best that happend was that the city decided a few years ago to make stations where you can rent these bikes for a short shopping trip or to some nice place. They aren't even really expensive too.

He never planned to improve transportation; he just wants to keep people trapped in cars. https://newrepublic.com/a...

    In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let's try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:

    • [meta] for discussions/suggestions about this community itself
    • [article] for news articles
    • [blog] for any blog-style content
    • [video] for video resources
    • [academic] for academic studies and sources
    • [discussion] for text post questions, rants, and/or discussions
    • [meme] for memes
    • [image] for any non-meme images
    • [misc] for anything that doesn't fall cleanly into any of the other categories

    I have copied that idea from another community. I forgot which one so sorry!

    Feel free to discuss that here, I would like that change because it makes it a lot easier

    YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market.
  • It does not require to share it with other people tho. Still as far as I know they save it on their servers. Signal tries to not save any metadata at all. That's great.

  • Telegram has no end to end encryption as default. You can enable it with secure chat but that is making the chats unaviable in other devices.

    I can really recommend signal, been using it as my only messaging app for years and it just is so more secure. Most people installed it too after I asked them to do it to keep contact
