to make illicit drug use illegal in all public spaces, including inside hospitals, on transit and in parks.

Wait, was it legal to use illicit drugs in parks, on transit, and in public spaces?????

And pedestrians.

Been using the self-hosted version for a few months(?) and like it.

My biggest concern when committing to something like this is data portability.

I do appreciate that it saves copies of PDF and PNG files in structured folders on my NAS, but I wish the file names matched what they have captured rather than 1.pdf, 2.pdf, etc.

It would instantly make Linkwarden 100% more useful to me.

We have rental e-scooters around here that come with helmets mounted to the stem for the rider.

I'd say that maybe 1 out of 10 wear the helmet. And you can't imagine how many riders, who have no control over the damn scooter, aren't wearing a helmet.

If someone wants a brain injury, that's fine. But they are burdening anyone and everyone who relies on them and/or has to care for them.

And for what? Laziness? Convenience? Self-hate?

Showroom7561 OP ,

As soon as the car detected the cyclist it hit the brakes and the cyclist had minor injuries.

Had you read (and understood) the article, you would have seen that police have no details about what caused the crash, so you're basing your assessment entirely on what the company said happened.

They have a certain level of damage-control to contend with, so no doubt they won't be admitting negligence.

I think the cyclist only walked away with minor injuries because of the low speed of the accident (the car was allegedly coming off a stop sign) and vehicle type. But I also think it should have it seen or anticipated the cyclist and stopped sooner, especially at such low speeds.

Unless, of course, the claim is that the cyclist hit the car, and not the other way around.

I guess we'll know when Waymo hands over the ride footage. Hopefully, they comply and not withhold it like their competitor did.

Wot The Fsck You Say, Spotify? ( lemmy.world )

Edit: A couple times I've said eBook while I actually meant Audiobook. I've learned that Spotify has a 15 hour limit per month for their free 'included in premium' audiobooks. However these are the two books I listened to for free, and even rounding up to 13 hours it doesn't make sense, unless they count accidental chapter skips...

If the experience that a paying customer gets is worse than the experience they get from pirating, then that's the fault of the company selling that enshitified experience.

It's wild how modern businesses are trying to kill themselves with every terrible idea they have to make more money.

Best tracking device for a stolen bike?

I plan on riding bike for often and while I have invest and will continue to invest in the typical security measures (D lock, wheel lock, etc.). However, in the extreme case that it should get stolen I want a way to track it down. I was thinking about getting a Tile tracking and place it within the frame of my bike but there's a...

Register your bike, with the police and a registry like 529 Garage.

The fact is, police recover hundreds of thousands of stolen bikes, but can't return them to the rightful owner because it hasn't been registered.

FWIW, I use two locks, and a hidden motion alarm when I park my bike. I only have a tracker on the keys for the locks/alarm, but will likely put a Tile somewhere on the bike this year.

Also, keep in mind that thieves are scumbags and will steal anything off your bike: lights, saddle, pedals, accessory mounts, etc.

Do your best. Unfortunately, a motivated thieving scumbag will still try, and if they can't steal your bike, they'll try to damage it.

Showroom7561 OP ,

I have full fenders in the rear, so I never get splashed on my back/but/head.

But I am considering putting a fender extender on the rear to keep my bike trailer from getting sprayed.

Showroom7561 OP ,

No joke at all! Bike trailers come as child trailers, cargo trailers, and even pet trailers! So many brands make them, and they work with just about any bike😀

Showroom7561 ,

The Special Investigation Unit says police did not respond to the scene after an initial 911 domestic disturbance call was made from the residence, or to a follow-up call to “cancel” the first call for service.

They won't respond to the first call if a second call canceled it.

The question is, did the victim cancel the call or did the person who caused her death?

Showroom7561 ,

Does this apply to all works of fiction, or only those believed by extremist groups?

I can understand not being allowed to burn historically significant documents and books, but mass-produced books are just cheap fire tinder.

Showroom7561 OP ,

there’s a vocal minority in Victoria that have a real stick up their ass about bike lanes.

What's their actual concern/problem? Bike lanes keep bikes out of car lanes and off sidewalks, and they make things safer for everyone while making roadways faster for motorists.
