That’s appalling that that sort of behaviour is still prevalent with taxis. I think rideshare services also share the same problem though? There have been many anecdotes onine by Australians quoting their awful experiences with rideshare drivers and even some mentioning they found taxis to be the better option nowadays.
Regradless, I firmly believe the taxi industry should be held up to a higher standard.
That’s a good point, and really unfortunate. I found the rising popularity of rideshare to be beneficial, as it meant more availabilities for rides and better pricing. However to get to that point, the barriers to entry for drivers had to be lower; the main appeal of being a rideshare driver is that you get more freedom than driving a taxi.
My concern is that by enforcing rules on rideshare drivers that they find too unfair, they are simply going to decide it’s not worth it, and leave the industry altogether. Then she will still find it difficult to get a ride, seeing as there are none.
It really is a tricky situation and my simple uneducated answer is “more taxis”.
I have a disability but I do think rideshare drivers should be allowed to decide if they want dogs in their privately-owned cars or not.
I find it strange that the person in the article specifically mentions 23 refusals from Uber drivers, but what about taxis? Taxis should not discriminate, unless the driver has a particular condition like allergies to dogs. If I had an assistance dog, I would be seeking taxis, not rideshare, because I understand most people wouldn’t want dogs in their own vehicle.
Do note I mentioned assistance dogs, which require certification.
Hi Kuro, could you please address the font size issue as indicated here. It is the biggest thing holding me back from using the app. Thank you!
Thank you so much for adding the ability to change the body and comment font size! This has been invaluable.
Thanks for doing the research! I’ve been wondering what it was.
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. Finally completed the base game after falling off from the tediousness. I really hope the sequel addresses that issue because otherwise, it has fantastic combat in a world with mythical creatures.
Okay TIL there are golden raspberries.
Yay! Exciting. Thank you!
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. Started it last year but fell off because of how tedious it was. With the announcement of a sequel I thought I’d get back to it. The combat is really something enjoyable.
Can’t believe I forgot all about this. It was the one thing I was sad to lose when I upgraded from my Nexus 5 to the Google Pixel. So simple but so useful.
To see what version your instance is on, scroll to the very bottom of the page on web. To see what the latest released version is (that your instance may not have updated to yet), visit https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases.
I just downloaded Obtainium but I’m noticing an issue. Maybe you can help me? For Thunder, because it’s using an unconventional version naming system, Obtainium isn’t detecting that my version wasn’t actually the latest. Mine was 0.2.1+6 but 0.2.1+7 was out, and Obtanium said that I’m on 0.2.1+7.
I think those only show communities that you or fellow users on your instance have searched. Other than its local communities.
I’m not sure if it’s exactly the same thing, but you can click on Instances at the very bottom of the instance, or add “/instances” to the url e.g. https://lemmy.ml/instances to see the list of blocked instances.
Linkin Park went from nu metal to alternative, pop rock etc (I’m not really sure).
That’s right, Cyberpunk 2077 was released for PC on Dec 2020. And yet for recommended settings and above, it’s now requiring AMD processors released from Sep 2022, and Intel processors released from Q4 2021. These processors are all on the higher end too. This is a huge jump.
I’m very surprised about the processor requirements. For no Ray Tracing, the high preset asks for Core i7-12700 or Ryzen 7 7800X, and Core i9-12900 or Ryzen 9 7900X for ultra.
I thought most games aren’t so heavily reliant on the number of cores and threads?
I love the redesign! Looks so much sleeker and the colour for dark mode is better.
Could we have a setting to disable swipe gestures please? Clumsy me will end up accidentally triggering the wrong ones all the time.
