Worked for a notorious backstabber, got stabbed in the back. Is this the right time for victim blaming?

That's barely evil. Consider the destruction of OkCupid as an attack against its liberal-skewed user base:

Does this make possible federated supply-demand matching, like dating, jobs, and any kind of marketplace?

Just a credible threat.

Before a tankie comes in propagandising the 1992 consensus that says "there is one China, our China", by which China means PRC (People's Republic of China) and Taiwan's ruling party KMT meant RoC (Republic of China), let me add some detail:

After effectively losing the Chinese civil war in 1949 by retreating to Taiwan, RoC martial law era ruling party KMT first threatened to retake China until 1991, and then diluted the plan into “reunification” and cosied up with China. Last time KMT said "one China" was in the 1992 consensus, at the end of martial law. Taiwanese people never agreed with KMT’s hubris or sucking-up, which shows in voting results since the martial law ended.

Now Taiwan is stuck with the official stance of "one China" because China’s (PRC) Anti-secession law of 2005 promises war if Taiwan changes its name from the old “Republic of China” (since 1911 in China, since 1945 on Taiwan) to “Republic of Taiwan”. They missed a chance to become officially Taiwan the country. Most parties in Taiwan support "status quo", "don't rock the boat".

Another victim of lawfare. If you design a crappy three-wheeler, you voluntarily step into the lawfare trap set by fossil fuel industry to sabotage you. The correct solution is for the velomobile industry to attack the unjust laws and make four-wheelers be treated the same as three-wheelers.

Trikes are only good for saving pennies at the cost of driveability and usability - they should not be incentivised by law. They are slow and teetery around curves, unless very low centre of gravity over the two-wheeled axle. Four-wheelers are more stable and can have a cargo space or a back seat between the rear wheels.

Not only on how wide, but how much weight is on the two-wheel axle.

Speed limits are easy to force by GPS position.

"If there's no speed limit in a car, it shouldn't belong in a city - it's a race car"

Throttle puts me in a mentality where I don't care about losing gained speed, because gaining it again is so easy. On a regular bike, I try to speed through dangers because "this speed was made with my sweat and I'm not giving it up".

Did high-powered cars lead to more regulations? Why are such cars allowed in cities?

Power is irrelevant. Pedestrian crash severity = speed² × shape impacting human head.
Road-specific speed limits and weight limits have always been enough.

Fuck especially the laws that give 2- and 3-wheelers easier treatment than 4-wheelers:

Sucks to walk and bike in a car dependent city?

We're making the same mistake with AI as we did with cars; not planning human future.

Cars were designed to atrophy muscles, and polluted urban planning and the air.
AI is being designed to atrophy brains, and pollutes the air, the internet, public discourse, and more to come.

We should change course towards AI that makes people smarter, not dumber: AI-aided collaborative thinking.

If you're so damn smart that you can see what trash is what, separate that trash! That's a job for a tireless machine.

Not Fediverse, but an example of what works:

Quora used to have a fantastic crowd-edited question topic ontology/taxonomy for precise feed shaping with thousands of disambiguated topics interlinked in a graph/tree structure, but they enshittified the system away 2023, and now it's all LLM misunderstandings of what the question topics should be. The bot thinks a question is about apples when the question is a mathematics word puzzle; "How many apples...". The excuse for AI tagging was "tags can be abused" when in reality the crowd corrected the abuses quickly and reported the offenders. With the new AI tagger, my feed turned into viral trash from Quora-celebrities, mostly about current news.

They never made the obviously needed features of:

• being able to topic tag answers, not just questions (for when the question is general and the answer is specific, like "What do you think everyone needs to know in 2025?").
• the ability to follow a topic from a user, because most people write about many topics, so a follow-a-user brings uninteresting topics to my feed, but not all people write well about that topic I want to follow, so I'd need to follow that topic from good writers only.

Also microdoses are usually decidoses, but that's irrelevant because in this use mega means large and micro means small. Microcar. Microcomputer.

But what size are microplastics when also mentioning nanoplastics? Are they still "5mm and smaller"?

Commanding a bad/incompetent/overworked parent to become a good parent doesn't make it so.

Insignificant improvement on the shit services Match Group owns and makes worse.

You can detect impaired driving by observing the car in traffic.

everything is made with fossil fuels and we need them

So let's stop burning them?
