you know what else slows down ambulances? Congestion

I live near a school. Cars go way too fast and blast through intersections. Impeding the flow of car traffic is exactly what we need. I’d rather not require the ambulance in the first place.

Stop spreading FUD please.

For some reason people love to shit on Brave and turn a blind eye to mistakes made by Mozilla or problems with Firefox. Brave has had missteps in the past, as many projects have. This doesn’t make it “malware.”

It’s ok not to use it for ideological reasons - I don’t like their CEO either. But that doesn’t mean Brave is not a privacy browser or not a good browser.

I use this feature for snowflake

If making people feel safer walking and biking in cities = “worthless shit” to you then why are you even here? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been honked at or yelled at or nearly run over while walking or on my bike by drivers who refuse to stop at red lights at all because of the right on red rule.

Cars don’t belong in cities at all, with the possible exception of delivery/commercial vehicles and vehicles for disabled people. Banning right on red is just one part of a multi-pronged approach to get us there, together with better bicycle infrastructure and public transit, etc.

/e/ is not degoogled and security does not seem to be a priority for them. I wouldn’t recommend it. See the following comments from a divestos dev:

So true, I watched dune in theaters with my friends and half of us fell asleep lmao

Personally I’m ok with fuck cars being mainly a place for people to express their frustrations with how things are - I think that serves an important role.

I would also like to see places for more nuanced discussions about urbanism for those who are interested. I used to go to r/NotJustBikes for that, but haven’t seen any similar communities emerge on Lemmy.

It’s also well documented by strongtowns how car infrastructure specifically devastates local communities and bankrupts cities due to how exorbitantly expensive it is. Long car commutes may increase the GDP of a country, but local areas suffer.
