This is a really good idea

I am so in love with the idea of this bike and it's predecessor the Buffalo, and I really wish that they would turn their attention for "relief" towards North America. I am sure that there are many people in Africa who benefit greatly from these bikes, but the "we're going to save your community because you haven't discovered bikes yet" model is pretty heavily loaded with some at-least-orange flags for white saviorism.
I really wish that instead of (or at least in addition to) trying to save the poor people on the other side of the world, they'd send a few dozen of these things to homeless shelters around the country. I understand that many people don't think homeless people deserve nice things and might think this is a waste, but the freedom and mobility of a bicycle is just as powerful for lifting people out of poverty here as it is in Africa.
This is where you can rent the documentary that the guests here made about the Amazon union drive. Seems like a fantastic movie, but it won't end up on any of the streaming sites because they are all cowards and don't want to piss off Amazon (their web servers mostly all use AWS)
COVID is leaving people dead...and long COVID is definitely a thing as well.
It was relatively fast and painless. I had someone drive me home, wore athletic protection for a few days, laid off of any sort of rigorous exercise, and its been a really straightforward recovery experience after that. No ragrets.
Greedy management cunts who can rest pretty safely knowing that the Liberal government will 100% have their back and pass return to work legislation.
Trump will let this go through and behind the scenes force a deal where X buys Chrome
In order for home prices to actually become affordable, we'd have to have the kind of decline where economists were literally using phrases like "blood in the streets".
The butterfly logo is one of the greatest things about that company, especially after Bad Man #2 decided to kill the beautiful bird logo. What an absolute waste that was.
Its true, but we do also have a proven base of both users and experienced admins that has proven to be resilient and self-sustaining even in the world where the winds of capitalism or VC money aren't throttling growth.
Its always a risk putting your faith into a single person, but Dan is the same guy who built Pixelfed. He's a Fediverse OG, literally the exact opposite of a grifter. Trusting him is a risk for sure, but I can't think of many other developers I'd trust more than him (at least in terms of his intentions and determination... I'm not a skilled dev so I can't speak to whether he actually does good work, but Pixelfed seems incredibly legit given the limited resources he's worked with)
Damn, I can see that being a really incredible tool for us. Do you mind if I ask which note app you use?
