mondoman712@lemmy.mlto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Infrastructure construction in Britain is defective. The most budget UK tramway is more expensive than the most costly french tramwayEnglish5·27 days agoThere isn’t long running strategic planning for this type of thing and no consistency in the volume of work, so the construction industry can’t invest in having the capacity. That and risk contingencies are way higher.

mondoman712@lemmy.mlto Buy European@feddit.uk•Which European product or service do you think is underrated and should be promoted more?7·2 months agoI think it’s worth pointing out that mapy.cz

mondoman712@lemmy.mlto Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•Does anyone actually use a 60% or less for programming work?16·2 months agoI use a 40% (corne specifically) for full time dev work. I use (neo)vim so I don’t really need any of the keys you mentioned apart from some function keys, for which I only have to hold one modifier and having them closer to the home row is much more comfortable.
Not quite as bad for the environment, and often just worse when it comes to all of the other reasons why cars are terrible.
mondoman712@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If political agendas were released, or summarized, like patch notes would people better understand what they are signed up for?16·2 months agoWe have that in the UK, the parties all publish manifestos before elections. I think it helps to get the message across and to be clear about what they are and aren’t promising to do. They aren’t, however, legally enforceable so parties aren’t obliged to actually follow up on their promises.

I don’t see it as ridiculing anyone. It’s criticising the system that created this mess.
mondoman712@lemmy.mlto Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Crossing against the light? You won’t get ticketed now that jaywalking is legal in NYC5·6 months agoBlaming cyclists for something a motorist failed to do seems to be a uniquely North American thing.
I can tell you that it’s also very much a thing in many parts of Europe.

So we can build things to a somewhat lower capacity sure. That helps, but what exactly does it solve?
Even if we assume everyone can work from home, people still need to go places for other reasons.
