You’re right lemmy could take off provided people engage. The transition is primed for thanks to Twitter educating us about the fediverse.

The decline of Reddit is a great shame. But the model of social media companies needing to IPO and make profit always hurts users in the long run. When Reddit do IPO more decisions will be made that make the experience worse for users simply because the interests of the platform owners will no longer be aligned with the interests of the users. We can’t know how things will work out but at least the fediverse model is new and is theoretically more sustainable.

Yeah most londoners don’t drive and air pollution affects everyone. I welcome the ULEZ expansion.

Wow lemmy.ml feels a lot faster now. Compared to lemm.ee on 0.17.4 the difference is huge and lemm.ee was already very snappy. Excellent work!

This is really greedy imo. Even with inflation the price of storage per gb has decreased by ~90% since 2009. Big downside to being so vendor locked in. It’s not like I can use something like b2 buckets as a replacement.

See blackbaze price per gb for reference:

Thanks for the excellent work, extremely impressive. Does anyone know how to sort comments? I can’t work out how to do it.

I’d also recommend giving Memmy a try:

Not ideal but the volume control can be fixed using monitor control: https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl

And there are many third party implementations of snapping like magnets.

You might be able to find something useful in one of the journals for transportation or preventative medicine. Using search terms such as ‘active travel’ and ‘modal share’ might help. You could also think about distinguishing between health state life expectancy and life expectancy.

Maybe not exactly what you’re looking for but you could also look at examples of cost benefit analyses that have been calculated in the UK, where savings to the NHS are predicted in terms of increased modal share of active travel.

In the Vietnam war the US suffered approximately 60,000 deaths and 150,000 non mortal woundings. But that was over the period of more than a decade.
