The meme and admin in question:

I can see why that meme could be a bit controversial, but I do think the meme makes a fair comparison, and censoring that meme defends Putin’s militaristic dictatorship. There’s no misinformation or bigotry here that would deserve a removal. That admin doesn’t seem to be as censor happy as the mods on !worldnews@lemmy.ml, at least.

Probably the dictator bootlickers in worldnews@lemmy.ml

Too bad they messed that up by invading Ukraine. Russia had a lease on Sevastopol up through 2042, now they’ll be lucky to keep it for the next 5 years.

The problem with podman is that we use stuff like Docker-compose and tilt at work, that require the docker daemon socket. I do try to use podman when possible, though. But yeah, I avoid Red Hat these days, that company is doomed.

I use kubernetes+containerd for my servers, which is neither Docker nor Podman.

cgroups are very different and much more powerful than freebsd jails. The server world is leaving freebsd for Linux.

Tradition: 5 min bike to village station, 15 min train to local city, 15 min train to neighboring city, 5 min bike to destination, cost 2€

Modernity: 1 hour of focused labor in traffic, 5 min walk through parking garage, cost 20€

You might not act on it because of the reality of where you live, but the key belief of conservatism is that there are real differences between human beings, which you expressed in your description of public transportation.

That distain for urban environments is also why conservatives tend to live in rural areas, agreeing with statements like, “I want a big house with a yard”, and disagreeing with statements like “I want to live in a diverse city with lots of new restaurants”.

From a Swedish perspective, people with those beliefs would prefer socially conservative parties like the Swedish Democrats or the Social Democrats, than parties like the Left Party, Green Party, or Center Party, regardless of your views on economic policy.

There’s nothing wrong with being conservative and wanting to live a rural lifestyle, everybody is different. The point of the fuckcars movement is to allow for people to live without a car at the same living standards as people with cars. That means reducing the number of cars driving into cities and making sure that biking and walking isn’t deprioritized in favor of cars.

I’m not downvoting you btw, but it sounds like the problem here isn’t that you like cars, but rather that you’re a rural conservative who doesn’t like interacting with lower classes.

Traditional pre-car villages were all walkable and all had their own train station. They sprawled out and lost their train stations when cars came around.

Yeah that’s definitely a challenge, and I believe it is a failure of city planning.

My condo is worth $300k and is within 15min of central Stockholm. The housing crisis is definitely a problem around the world, but European cities that don’t have the missing middle problem are in a much better place.

Back on topic, even if you could work from home, it would still take you over an hour to go grocery shopping or buy a pizza, which is a huge problem. Both of those things are within a 15 min walk for me.

If your city and region got rid of cars, you could have that, too.

I have plenty of friends and family in the us and Sweden who own cars. I dont know a single person who enjoys driving to work.

My point still stands, cars are nice for the first 10k people to drive, but they fucking suck for the other 40k+ people in your city.

Why not both? I live in Stockholm and work from home. I have amazing trains that I could take to work, and I’ve never had a commute longer than 40 minutes. But a 0 minute commute is still shorter than 5minute commute.

Cars are a form of personal transportation. Personal transportation is great, things like bikes and escooters can get people around very quickly. The problem with cars is that they go too fast, and they take up too much space.

It’s a tragedy of the commons. Cars would be great if they were only used by professional drivers, didn’t require parking, and were limited to how many could fit on the roads without causing traffic. (These are called busses and taxis)

All cities in the 60s and 70s were excited about cars. Even cities that would be considered “anti-car” nowadays, like NYC, Paris, and Amsterdam, were excited about cars and building massive highways. However, what most people realized, is that building enough parking, and building wide enough roads to handle all the cars is really hard (and in some cases, literally impossible). Residents realized that they didn’t want any more of their city to be bulldozed for yet another highway or parking lot, and went fuckcars.

On top of that, this all happened before we understood the impacts of cars on climate change and mental health.

So yes, we built car-dependent places because it was convenient, and now we’re de-carifying those places because it was a terrible decision.

I have never had a commute longer than 40 min each way. I had a 5 minute commute once, too.

Tesla cars can only be serviced by Tesla mechanics with Tesla parts, and they have software locks.
