  • What a ridiculous way to live. Imagine not having a pavement along a road people might need to travel along.

    Like sure, here there’s no pavements along roads once you get outside of towns and cities to the big connecting roads, the kind nobody would want to walk down anyway, motorways, dual carriageways, and of course small country roads and the like.

    But if you physically can’t get from A to B in a town without walking along an unsafe verge? The fuck is your local government doing and why haven’t they been sacked yet?

    To be fair, I also live somewhere that Americans hate from what I’ve heard, the dreaded evil 15 minute neighbourhood. Everything I need, more or less, is within a short walk. That’s just how things are built in the UK, my whole area was built in the post-war 50s construction boom, so it’s hardly new.

    Within 15 minutes I can walk to a newsagents, off licence, flower shop, takeaway, opticians, doctors surgery, dentists, schools, butchers, bakery, supermarkets, bicycle repair shop, barbershops and salons, cafes, etc etc. Often there’s more than one of a thing available.

    There’s much more within easy reach, because there are many buses and rail trams running in various directions to get to different places in the city and in the towns surrounding the city, all stops within a 15 minute walk of my house. They run frequently and are very affordable to use.

    Anyway, yeah, while I don’t expect everywhere to put such a big focus on ensuring pedestrians can live their lives without cars, I expect them to at least have PATHS, for fecks sake.

    …how do their children walk to school if there’s no bloody paths? Come on. Local government should be run out of office for endangering the kids like that, nevermind everyone else. I mean… how do wheelchair users etc get around? Christ.

    Look up the news from the past day or 2, it’s actually much more interesting than that!

    The original founder (well, one of them) got the studio devs back together and bought the game back off the people he sold it to who had canned it, and now they’re back developing it.

    Side note Vintage Story is rad :-D


  • Are you sure? This guy seems pretty sure everybody that uses the current most popular western online community building chat platform is a sex offender if they’re over an arbitrary age. Surely they must be right!

    I’m on the Discord community for my metropolitan city along with many thousands of people from all walks of life and all sorts of ages, I need to head over there and let them know that apparently they’re probably all sex offenders!







  • If they “can’t do anything” on their own service then how can they be trusted at all?

    They’re either lying outright, or are so deeply incompetent that they don’t know how their own software works and can’t touch it to try to resolve a problem for fear of breaking something.

    Okay, so long as a passkey is something I can memorise. Otherwise, it’s significantly worse than a regular password (assuming you use good passwords and don’t reuse passwords etc).

    It seems like they want to tie it to a physical computer (like the one in your pocket), which sucks big time. What happens if I don’t have access to that computer at all times, or it breaks, or is lost?

    I’m planning on getting rid of my smartphone for something that just does calls and texts for example, because I’m sick of how unhealthily reliant I, and everyone, have become on this thing, and I want to be more connected to the real world. What then?

    My brain is the best place to store passkeys, it can’t be hacked, stolen, lost, etc, unlike every other option. It’s easily capable of storing lots of randomised unique passwords for each service (surely I’m not the only one that can do this?). It’s the clear winner.
