Yeah, we really need a long term strategy. When you want to get elected, you make promises. When you get elected, you need to fulfil (some of) those promises. When people promise new spending and keeping rates rises to a minimum, your only real option it to kick these cans down the road and cut funding for pre-emptive maintenance.
Despite all the controversy, something like Three Waters was really needed.
Was it a political push from Whanau (seems to have started with the previous mayor) or is this just the point where everything was collapsing so we had no choice?
In regards to storage costs, I’m happy to self host a good solution. But right now there are none.
Your idea about streaming from phones is pretty nice but as someone who uses lots of background data, it can suck up your battery. A good idea though and I don’t think that stops it being feasible.
There was a project called Circles that used a Matrix server to host private rooms you could invite people to where it was more like a feed, with photo galleries and videos and things. It got funding pulled but as far as I could tell it didn’t really have a future because they hit the limits of the technology stack, but it was a cool idea that was simple enough that you’d be able to get non-tech users onboard. Project is basically dead now though.
I love the idea of friendica but until my mother can upload a video and view it on a feed it’s just not going to work. I’ve tried it out many times over the years and I just can’t recommend it as a Facebook replacement for nontechnical users, not even just for sharing with family.
Their point is that (as per relatively), all movement is relative to something. So if the earth moved away then you must be measuring in relation to some other reference point. There is no absolute positioning system. So when you say the earth is moving, what is it moving in relation to? And why did you pick that reference point instead of having a time machine that uses earth itself as a reference point?
Haha it’s not work, think of it as donating pixels to a good cause! But it’s fine if you have better things to do 🙂
From random searching around it seems lanes haven’t necessarily changed (basically this route is still used) but technology helps a lot. There are definitely fewer icebergs at that location these days but despite many reddit commenters claiming none it seems there are a few icebergs that make it there: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/sites/default/files/images/iip/data/2017/20170426_NAIS65.gif

Apparently radar makes sure ships know about any icebergs well in advance, and there are also ice patrol planes and satellite tracking to make them pretty much a non-issue. Unless you’re the MV Explorer cruise ship that sunk in the Antarctic after hitting an iceberg in 2007. But that was outside of shipping lanes and monitoring areas as far as I can tell.
For sad reasons, yes. Probably a lot lower chance than it was 100 years ago.
Pretty sure you can’t draw a kiwi without someone giving it laser eyes 😆
@[email protected] I guess you’re on holiday and won’t be able to participate this year?
To my knowledge it’s still being developed. The fork to CoMaps was based on some trust issues with the company developing Organic Maps. Some info here: https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps
I heard of bitcoin for a while, but by the time I decided to get some they cost $20 each. No way I was shelling out that much.
I guess the point is that it shows the correlation between processed food and cancer is statistically significant. As in there is definitely a link, and this meta analysis shows good evidence this link exists. Even if the impact is small.
As for the day to day impact of this study, I’m not sure there is one. Processed food is already on WHOs list of things that definitely cause cancer.
Getting a colorectal cancer probability in a lifetime is about 0.04, eating hotdog adds 8% to it or ~0.003.
Depending on the average amount of processed meats eaten, it could also show not eating a hot dog every day will reduce your risk of cancer by about that much. It’s probably only important in the cumulative though. When we have studies like this for many foods, you could put together a diet that reduces your chance of cancer by 20 or 30%, say. But one food’s impact like this is probably only important to scientists.
So getting back to your original question:
Like… is it written to excite anxiety?
Yes. Anxiety drives clicks which drives revenue.
Hmm odd. Maybe just try again?
Surely a replicator can replicate a bowl of next day stew or friend rice. You’re be able to have it today instead of tomorrow.
That’s odd. How far did you get? Any error?
Federation from your instance Lemmy.world to the instance the community is on (programming.dev) is healthy, so that doesn’t seem to be the issue.
My guess would be that you’ve tried to upload an image that is over the size limit - I think this is imposed by your own instance (Lemmy.world), and I’m not sure what the size limit is but I think 5MB per image is pretty common. If you drop the image size or upload elsewhere then link it, does that work?
Yeah it’s a maybe, uLogger seems to let you choose which track you want to see. I presume the app lets you log to a specific track so you can have one for each person.
It might depend on what specific experience you’re looking for. For example, I log to Nextcloud and can view it there, but this is more of a “find my phone” plus tracking where I’ve been for myself (similar to Google Location History). While I’m sure I can set it up so others can see, it’s not really designed for it. It would also be a bit awkward as you’d have to log in to Nextcloud in a browser to see the locations (seems it’s possibly the same for uLogger).
I also run Home Assistant for home automation. I trigger automations off of my wife and my locations, but either of us can open the app and see at a glance where the other is (with pre-defined locations, such as “Home”, “School”, “@Dave’s Work”, etc, plus the ability to tap and see the exact location on a map).
That Home Assistant setup is much more useful for either of us seeing where the other is than I think the more dedicated tracking apps are, since they aren’t designed around sharing your location with others and that’s more of a side-function.
I feel like it still does sometimes, with some sites that feel like they are nearly a whole OS in themselves.
What about [email protected]?
Or if you are using Home Assistant you could post in [email protected]
There is a Lemmy community search function here if you want to check other options: https://lemmyverse.net/communities
The co-governance aspect was clearly a huge sticking point, and I agree Three Waters would have passed under the previous government without it. But this government has been very vocal about staying out of local government (except when they don’t like something a council did…) so a reformulated Three Waters seems very unlikely to pass in the current climate even without a co-governance aspect.
There were also councils quite against Three Waters in general, which as far as I saw were the ones doing a good job on their own. Kind of like how only people in flood zones want flood insurance, I guess.
