Heheh I’m ddossing them right now. Unfortunately the computer I’m doing it on is having a few connection issues

Cool, yeah I will definitely be trying it out thanks.

Yeah, since about 2016 it has started to get really bad though. I remember when I would be looking for a solution to a computer related issue, all the top results were super useful Tom’s Hardware and AnandTech forum posts. But of course nobody does SEO for forum posts because they’re just trying to help people not make money, so instead now all of the probably AI written crap is in the top results which half the time is only barely related to what I searched

I still am using Google and I hate how useless it has become since SEO started to become a thing in the last 5 or 10 years. Maybe I should try Kagi. Does it have location specific search results

Did you really just say car racism lmao.

I know that in the UK 1.3% of our land is road, so maybe the global average isn’t much lower

I mean it kind of ends up being a Skinner box anyway just because of the loop of scrolling, seeing a post, looking at it and repeating. But I agree nobody is actively trying to trap you in one.

This would be so fucking annoying, I don’t use reddit day to day anymore but it’s still a useful research tool when I see results from it on Google. I don’t hate their search feature quite as much as some but I still don’t want to use it most of the time.

This seems so dumb for them to do, I feel like having their content listed on search engines is s major advantage they have over Facebook et al.

That’s true in the UK too, but SUVs sadly are quite popular

I looked into it briefly after hearing this news and saw people talking about Godot. It’s for 2D and 3D multi-platform games and you can use C#, C++ and others. Sounds pretty cool

I’m disregarding them because as I say they’re not intrinsic properties of that type of housing. I prefer living where I do now than most of the actual houses I lived in because they had no garden space, but that doesn’t mean intrinsically houses don’t have outside spaces. When people are advocating for more higher density housing they aren’t talking about building them in the worst possible way I don’t think.

Right. Well regardless non of the significant problems you have I have experienced so I don’t think they’re intrinsic properties of apartments/flats/high-medium density housing.

It is so weird reading this thread when I live in a flat and have basically non of the issues any of you’re describing. I know it’s a cliche but I honestly think this is just a US vs Europe thing, where mid to high density housing here is actually built to be, you know, good, where as in the US everything is poorly constructed with no amenities so you just think all of those things are intrinsic qualities of that type of housing lol. Kind of sad.

I think it’s just Muricans being Muricans, everything seems to be poorly constructed there so they think being able to hear other residents having sex is just an intrinsic quality of apartments and flats

I live in a flat and have a dog, a small garden and we never hear our neighbours unless they’re shouting. I assume you live in the US?

Yeah, these issues are all really weird. I live in a flat with one other person, it’s two stories so there’s one person in the top flat and one in the bottom, they’re in a terrace and we each have our own entrance. It’s nice we have plenty of space and a decently large living room and bedrooms (though annoyingly one room is much larger than the other, I suppose because it is for families.) We also have a small bit of fenced of space outside and most have a full garden space.

This is in a council estate in the UK, so equivalent of a “project” but the whole area is very nice, there’s lots of grassy spots to take our dog on and there a decent amount of trees around. We have both just been really happy here, much more than I was living in a house before which had no outside space, no trees or grass for a good 50 metres or so and there was more crime despite not being a council estate where as where I am now is. I mean a house is nice I can get why people would prefer living in one, but apartments/flats are nice too.

Oh yeah and we don’t really ever hear our neighbours either.

Maybe if you tried not being a whiny little bitch about everything it would help.

Wow that is crazy that it runs Linux and is less than $3, that guy would put the executives from the scene in American Psycho to shame with that business card.

What I had in mind was a program with a GUI that had text, some images and you can click through the pages and maybe do something else. I suppose you could pull off something similar to what you linked with a compact arduino-type device, some kind of flat 5v battery and maybe an e-paper display that you can print scrolling text to and maybe a little graphic. I suppose not very similar to what you linked, but would be cool in its own right
