It does seem hostile to use a bot deletion and message. The github has an issues tab, it has a submit button. A reasonable user would find their github, and then submit an issue in the normal github bug reporting place on a page that looks like a normal and active issues page only to then be met with the bot deletion message.

Github has the option to disable the issues tab, which they reccomend for projects that do not take bug reports through github. These devs didn’t do that. It appears they use the issues tab for issue tracking internally within the team. The result is a public issues page, that looks just like a normal one that takes user submissions.

The project does say they they only take bug reports on discord on the readme and on the contributors page, both of which are below the fold on browsers. The information is provided in advance of a submission, but not in a way most users will be likely to find it when trying to submit bug reports, as the issues button is directly at the top of the screen.

Their github is indexed on search engines and came up as the second result when searching for “game native” in my test. The discord is not in search results. Users are far more likely to find the github than the discord when searching.

I do hope its unintentional, but it really seems like these devs have set a trap. Reasonable users will find the issues page, spend their time writing a report, only for a bot to autodelete. Its cruel.

What is an LTN and why does the article use that acronym in the first sentence without defining it anywhere??

You’re not comparing like for like. Those who get rich from onlyfans are the exception. The average onlyfans creator makes shockingly little.

Popular open source projects bring in a lot of money. The Blender foundation had €4 million in income in 2024.

Those who make it big and become successful earn orders of magnitude more than those who don’t. This is true for everything.

Induced demand is real. It is a very good idea to induce demand for traffic that is inexpensive and scales well, instead of the opposite.

Every state requires proof of citizenship to register to vote. All registered voters are citizens. Read a book.

That’s been their behavior continuously since the country’s founding. This is nothing new.

They’re honest about it, crediting the picture to “Tranzito with The Streetsblog Photoshop Desk”.

Odd choice to photoshop Mamdani sitting in front of an example elsewhere instead of just using a picture of a similar installation in another city.

Commercial fire systems treat a sprinkler activation as an alarm condition. You wouldn’t be able to wait around for 30 afterwards. Fire department would be there which would cause issues for your plan.

Modern commercial fire systems are very good. There are no simple solutions for arsonists. They would need physical access to the building disable the fire systems, or to be able to produce enough fire to overwhelm the spriniler’s abilities to extingush it.

Few have both the will and ability.

It has nothing to do with climate and everything to do with the built environment. Cities built for people are pleasent to walk in everywhere. Cities in hot climates that predate cars have dense construction and narrow streets, which provides shade, which makes it fine to walk.

I’m texas they do the exact opposite. Sprawling oceans of scorching asphalt with buildings so far apart they provide no shade whatsoever. Its not the climate its the built environment.

Found the location on street view. The bus lane is a weird partial bus lane that only exists on part of the block. Most of the lane is available for parking.

The bus lane areas are painted red, and there is a sign at the start saying no parking/tow away zone. But they aren’t aligned properly. The red pavement starts about a car legnth before the no parking/tow away sign.

In most traffic codes, signage takes precidence over painted markings on the street. So as far as I can tell, the truck in the picture is parked legally, despite being on red pavement.

This is some particularly stupid street design, and this post is an incredibly manipulatively framed picture, with the sign just out of frame, but not an example of illegal street parking.

Why is there a parking payment kiosk next to the bus lane on a road with no street parking? Something isn’t adding up here.

I see this posted a lot as if this is an issue with capitalism. No, this is what happens when you have to deal with maintaining the power grid using capitalism as a tool.

Power generation needs to match consumption. Always constantly the power grid must be balanced. If you consume more than you can generate, you get a blackout. If you generate more than you use, something catches fire.

Renewables generate power on their own schedule. This is a problem that can be solved with storage. But storage is expensive and takes time to construct.

Negative prices are done to try and balance the load. Its not a problem, its an opportunity. If you want to do something that needs a lot of power, you can make money by consuming energy when more consumption is needed. And if you buy a utility scale battery, you can make money when both charging and discharging it if you schedule it right.

That’s not renewables being a problem, that’s just what happens when the engineering realities of the power grid come into contact with the economic system that is prevalent for now.
