Thank you for this! I was not familiar with all these shortcomings when I shared that study. I will not share it in the future.

Related: “A new study by Western University in Ontario says that if you’ve got a car with a modified exhaust system, odds are you’re a guy and probably also psychotic and sadistic.”

I think we’re in agreement that the police/legal system should be clamping down on these speeders. I certainly share your confusion here re: why they’re allowed to continue doing this.

But, as we’re both seeing, the police aren’t doing their jobs, and these guys are allowed to continue menacing our streets. This happens against a general backdrop where drivers are regularly prioritized over everyone else-- to the point that that can literally kill someone and still walk. In that environment, what are we supposed to do? I think this method – highlighting that we’re watching, that the police could stop this today by simply doing their jobs-- is one of the democratic tools at our disposal.

no more evidence than “I said so.”

Incorrect. There is plenty of evidence, and the group behind this (Transportation Alternatives) is reputable and well-known. Here is the evidence, which is also linked in the OP.

What do you think people should/could/might do with enough information

Law enforcement should act, and if they don’t, we should put pressure on law enforcement using the democratic tools at our disposal. Dangerously speeding cars are not the rising sun; we don’t just have to accept them as a fact of life.

Giving everyone online enough information to stalk and harass someone

If a student shoots up a school and then tries to hide with the other kids, and the kids point him out to the police, are they doxxing the shooter? Is this crowd doxxing a shooter? Why do speeders have an unfettered right to menace the public, but the public can’t hold them accountable? We wouldn’t tolerate that with any other crime committed in public. And driving is a privilege, not a right

Standard Notes

Could we find some way to cut down on posts like “Double parked driver in Talula, Illinois” and it’s just a pic/video of some dumb car?

While I share the sentiment, I don’t know think we all have to be notified EVERY time a driver ANYWHERE does something rude/inconsiderate.

The posts that are most helpful in this community are the ones addressing policy, and notifying us when governments or corporations are doing something that unfairly prioritizes cars. There are too many cars to count, but we can target governments much more easily.

I’m really curious, because people throw “doxxing” around a lot. And this example doesn’t even include any identifiable info, just the make/model/year/color of a car.

So… What is your definition of doxxing?

Speeding isn’t a constitutional right like protest. And public streets aren’t private homes. Should people expect to break laws and endanger their neighbors, in public, and we’re all supposed to… pretend we don’t see them? What’s your definition here?

I know this isn’t the point but WTF is a Honda Passport

I like Kdenlive a lot but man, why is the Export feature-- y’know, the thing that let’s you EXPORT A MOVIE-- buried in some drop-down menu like it’s a minor afterthought??

Ok, that makes sense. I haven’t read a ton of technical critiques of ActivityPub. Any recommendations?

…? Interesting thing to share on Lemmy…

Thank you for this! Definitely cool to get a better UI for this.

However, I’ll say that the biggest pain point w/r/t academic papers isn’t Arxiv’s interface. It’s the papers themselves. PDFs are SO clunky, especially for those of us who enjoy reading on an eink screen. IMHO, the biggest unlock will be when someone figures out a way to easily convert academic PDFs to .epub while preserving the flow of the document.

Still, in the meantime, I’m very glad to have this new project. Thanks again for building! Adding it to my bookmarks

Thank you!!!

Thank you! I’m still figuring out my goals here… Could I ask for your recommendation, given the following?

Primary goal: Access my music library from any of my devices (Android, MacOS, Linux), wherever I am in the world, hopefully without paying anyone (or at least not paying a LOT).

Secondary goal (Not sure if I want to do this yet): Let a group of about 12 friends access my library

These responses are SO helpful and I’m genuinely learning so much here. Thank you everyone!
