  • Start a housing coop and community land trust to keep housing in the hands of people that need it. Rapid public transport for the housing coop for work, groceries, etc. Buy the old tracks and turn them into intercity people carries.

    Buy the land from friends and family to pay off their debts and give it to the community land trust.

    Start a community coop grocery store, pharmacy, clinic, etc.

    Start a community electric coop focused on being a microgrid first and connection the national grid second.

    Start a community fiber and wireless ISP coop, and fighting tool and nail to end the current ISPs state monpoly on shitty expensive service.

    Try and create guerenteed minimums for both so no one has to disconnect because the money istoo tight.





  • You are not entitled to a developer’s works. If they choose to have you pay for the binaries and include the source with full rights preserved for what you can do with that source, they are providing FLOSS. RHEL after this is still doing better work for the Linux / Libre software space than Ubuntu is by trying to push for vendor lock via snaps in my mind.





  • Yeah, no one LIKEs mixing bikes and cars on roads, but little is given towards making them separate. There are 4 things on a street being balanced though, pedestrians, bikes, greenery, buses, and cars. The first 3 IMHO should be the priority for a street (the area people travel short distances between close destinations). Roads on the other hand should be limited to buses, cars, and greenery OR a bike highway limited to bikes and greenery.

    Like you said, though, using police as the primary method to enforce these separations is a failure of design. It would be like if Lemmy required you edit the webpages code to comment instead of having comment boxes, and having some dedicated to just going around and checking the code to make sure you were only putting in good formatted text and hoping they could punish people enough to do encourage it.

    You would either shut down the site from excessive enforcement or shut it down from unusable design.
