Comment Re:We need a different paradigm (Score 1) 142

Please explain to me why are one persons individual opinions are relevant to the broader question of urban planning and transport in cities?

Individual opinions and experiences are necessarily and inextricably part of the discussion of city planning. If you can't see this, then you are apparently one who tends toward authoritarianism. If you do see this, but believe the individual should always be silent and concede to the collective, then you tend toward communism. Since you obviously want to silence any dissent from your own opinion, you also gravitate to fascism.

These three personality traits you've displayed lead me to suspect you live in a densely populated, high-crime area of the country, you definitely vote democrat, and you think everyone else should want to live the way you do. You are wrong.

Yes, the OS handles all of the normal functionality you'd expect from the mouse -- left, right, middle click, scroll and even thumb wheel for horizontal scroll work out of the box (I'm using a Logi MX Master 4 in Fedora KDE, so ymmv)

For extra things like the forward and back buttons, you can, of course, remap them to do whatever you want. For example, if you're using X11, you can do this to make them control volume up/down:

1. Install xdotool and xbindkeys
2. Create ~/.xbindkeysrc thus:
-------
"xdotool keydown XF86AudioLowerVolume"
b:8

"xdotool keyup XF86AudioLowerVolume"
b:8 + Release

"xdotool keydown XF86AudioRaiseVolume"
b:9

"xdotool keyup XF86AudioRaiseVolume"
b:9 + Release
--------
Run xbindkeys in your startup, and enjoy.
I've also done this in Wayland, but I neglected to save how I did it in my howto files :(

The cybertruck is pure shit. It is the least reliable Tesla by a wide margin

Maybe so, or maybe that's a subjective assertion. Tesla went full-on experimental with the CT, and I think the drive-by-wire steering and 48V system are pretty cool.

Tesla was recently named the least reliable vehicle in America.

I wasn't sure about this, so I had to look it up.

The first two results seem to place them somewhere in the middle. Anecdotally, I'm on my second Model 3, (sold my 2020 and bought a 2025) and they're the best damned cars I've ever owned (aside from the fucking ridiculous capacitive turn signal buttons on the 2025).

The f150 is also the most popular vehicle on the planet.

That doesn't mean it's good. I drove a Tremor for a short while (not my own), and it was the crappiest truck I've ever used. Backup cam and sensors that don't work; flimsy bed; rough idle

There is no income limit for the parents who claim these...

So? There is no income limit for opening a savings account, either.

...but there are restrictions on what it can be withdrawn for.

After age of 18, no there are not. It must be converted to an IRA, and then withdrawals can be made accordingly.

This is literally welfare for rich people.

No, this is literally a savings account.

Take your class warfare bullshit back to reddit.
