Let's be clear about this: Aaron absolutely had authorized access.

Because Swartz was merely a natural person, while Meta is an almighty corporation. Everybody knows only corporations deserve rights, duh!

Do it. Not joking.

I'm literally one of the mods of !fuckcars, which is to say, I am painfully aware of how much better Europe in general, and the Netherlands in particular, is at this stuff.

The difference with Atlanta is that path is kinda the only one like that we have in the entire metro area. We have other trails in a network that's gradually becoming more connected, but that's the only part of it that's more-or-less fully built out with pedestrian-oriented surrounding architecture, which makes it far more popular than any of the others.

Other trails look more like:

Don't get me wrong: they're nice, in their own way. But they don't have nearly the appeal or ridership of the only trail with proper urbanism.

Not my video and I don't know what day of the week it was filmed, but it's pretty representative of 'medium' weekday afternoon traffic (even though the video title calls it "heavy"). Like I said in my previous comment, weekends are worse.

(I don't endorse trying to ride as aggressively as they're doing in the video, BTW.)

I enjoy riding bike more because the commute time is always the same. Nobody can stop you on a bike. No traffic jams, no accidents that blocks a road, no rush hour stress.

At a previous job, I used to commute on the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail. Because Atlanta is so starved for bike and pedestrian infrastructure, it was actually popular enough that it managed to slow me down with foot traffic sometimes. (And that was on weekday afternoons; it's even busier on the weekend.)

Still infinitely better than driving, of course.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddites

The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textile workers who protested the usage of certain types of automated machinery owing to their concerns relating to worker pay, labour savings, child labour, working conditions, and output quality. They often destroyed said machines in organised raids. Members of the group referred to themselves as Luddites, self-described followers of "Ned Ludd", a legendary weaver whose name was used as a pseudonym in threatening letters to mill owners and government officials.

We've been told historical lies. People who have an issue with this are like Luddites, but that's because the Luddites were justified too!

They weren't against technology; they were against it being used to abuse and exploit them as workers.

If I'm taking a screenshot, it's because I want to accurately preserve what I'm seeing. Doing anything, clever or not, to alter that is a breach of trust.

Doing it for the purpose of branding/advertising, of all things, only adds insult to injury.

You'd hope so (especially backups by the public since all this ought to be public domain data), but the other problem is that the organizations collecting it are being destroyed so there will be discontinuities in it forever now.

My diesel car has run on B100 (100% biodiesel) just fine for years. That's already good enough and requires no new technology or infrastructure. Hydrogen is stupid as hell.

No, "soft skills" are things like being nice and working well with other people. Why the Hell would gamers have that?
