That is one evil looking motherfucker

There is no grassroots opposition to 15 minute cities. All outrage is being whipped up by the fossil fuel companies terrified of people not having to drive everywhere.

Of course there are plenty of dim-bulb car chuds who buy into the outrage because they can’t imagine not riding their penis extension for every journey

Yeah alternative medicine is a gateway drug (heh) for this sort of conspiracy thinking.

Turning your service to shit to extract the most money from your “users” at the expense of usability is the end result of commercialisation in every instance that has ever existed so far during capitalism.

Even if it destroys the product, this will not stop capitalists ruining it in the name of a few extra dollars/currency in the short term.

Hard to self host is one of those things that has now become received wisdom in tech circles. It isn’t hard to self host email. More people should do it.

I’m already one step ahead because I DO reduce my reliance on anything commercial.

Relying on capitalist companies for anything long-lasting or worthwhile is foolish.

Exactly right. It’s the fossil fuel industry behind it, trying to pretend it’s a grass-roots thing so people think the opposition is organic. Plenty of fools buying into it though.

Speak to any driver and ask them what the worst part of driving is and they will tell you it’s other drivers.

And yet self-identified “drivers” will support right-wing policies that are designed to increase the amount of drivers on the road.

Not the smartest demographic.

Yeah much more sensible to spend money on killing people rather than improving everyone’s lives.
