They are talking about removing the obligation to pedal, not the option (which I agree with you, it’s a good option to have)
I think it’s a very sensible decision, I’m from a EU country with 250W limit which is very anemic for the dangerous city streets we have in my town. A throttle is much safer especially when starting from a stop, but it’s currently illegal to have on.
Best of luck to the devs, very exiting! Here is the link to pmOS wiki to follow the progress. Caleb is working on it apparently, one of the main people we have to thank for sdm845 (like Oneplus 6) mainlining effort
Web bloat, ads and trackers is an example of inaccessibility that I can think of for the treasure trove that is iFixit especially since they started accepting full guides by external contributors (which means also guides that could have ended up on a more accessible website). Videos should be backed up and not simply embedded youtube that can have georestriction or be down for any reason. We should have the guides distributed like we would wikipedia…in general, they/we can do better.
My other gripe with iFixit is their sponsor aspect, pretty much any big company outside of Apple has a big fat logo on their website, as an Ally to repair. It’s cheap PR while they continue to produce massive amounts of ewaste. Why promote them indefinitely for a single collaboration if they don’t apply those principles to the remaining 99% of their catalogs?
But I still read their blog (via RSS) and use and suggest their guides, contributing when I can. They have been and still are a big catalyst for Right to Repair.
There are countless situations in which you can ride too much, or your cargo/baby passengers are too heavy, or the roads are very polluted and that extra breathing on that particular climb is better avoided…et cetera
Have you tried an ebike? My favorite bicycle is a 1980s road bike which weighs maybe 8kgs, but I know what it means to commute every single day more than 30kms with it, it stops being fun after a few weeks. My second favorite is my ebike.
Following your line of thinking we shouldn’t have lifts because people need the exercise. Do you know that a single flight of stairs with a lift uses as much energy as roughly 10km with an ebike/escooter? But you don’t see me or anyone else attacking lifts/elevators. Also to remember, the lithium mined or refined to make the battery, can be reused forever.
Actually mate, I know it sounds ridiculous, but it has been demonstrated that, statistically, because of the extra amount of calories burned and the pollution due to food production and transportation in modern times, ebikes are greener despite the higher impact of their production.
Of course the specific case can be different, maybe someone already grows their own organic food and buys an ebike without doing any distance that they couldnt cover easily with their acoustic bike, and then proceeds after only a few months to throw their ebike off a bridge (stupid example, but much more important when studying the impact of electric cars vs ICE cars, if an EV gets into a really bad accident or fire in the first ~20-30k kms of its life, then it would have been slightly better for everyone that it wasnt built, compared to an ICE car)
As far as exercise goes, it has also been shown that ebikes results on average in more exercise by more people, because people cover much bigger distances, and/ore use it more often, and because it allows you to smooth out the ride (making some roads, especially climbs, cyclable to people who wouldn’t have been able to do them with a normal bike), and to decide for yourself when you want to put more effort.
Ahah dude I love your fender :D
I agree, and despite maybe too many competing flavors it looks like a great recipe to pick up some tricks for a newly veg. So thanks :) and congrats I guess OP, you’re clearly skilled and unafraid lol
I think they’re the same thing as cable holders/organizers
Same experience as Dr Wesker, I think most things need a bit of “air” to keep worst anaerobic bacteria at bay. Why not a bowl with a kitchen cloth on top, nothing tight? That’s what I do with fresh stuff (if cooked, sealed containers)
But even thus the fridge environment is not always ideal, I feel like loads of stuff (exept with this summer heat) lasts longer outside of it (wooden basket with cloth on top 😄 )
For example potatoes: never in the fridge
Tomatoes, if they’re good they’ll last months outside as well
LemmySea? It’s for navigating Lemmy after all. Let me see it! :D
The’re right, another thing you notice in a dry house (like Swiss homes in winter pounding crazy heating) is that you can get even painful (to the hand) mini electric shocks just walking around with slippers/crocs and then touching the metal kitchen vent, chargers…unless you ground yourself once in a while. Never happens in a humid climate/house.
