People are lonely. Is it because we are addicted to our phones, or is that a symptom of larger design choices we made when building our places? We cover some of the general concepts related to social infrastructure an try to evaluate what to do next.

A way to long introduction

I've been toying with the idea of getting a second phone to put postmarket OS on. So out of curiosity I've been going through the available software checking if I could maybe even use such a device as a daily diver. The result: Not yet, but it is very close (purely from an app availability standpoint). Most use cases have functioning apps or apps that are actively worked on. I did however notice some gaps. Now, my programming knowledge is very small and I don't really have the time to learn and then develop/maintain the apps. At least not at the moment. I have been checking out penpot however. Penpot is a browser-based graphic design tool with a focus on UI/UX design tool, similar to figma, but open source. And there is a mostly complete asset pack for gnome/adwaita applications available. (Side note to everyone trying it out: If you are getting weird flickering then it might be a Nvidia/Wayland issue. Swit

It's part of a set of satirical floats, all made by Tilly. Here is the rest.

Stellen Deutschlands Kommunen den Radverkehr hintenan bei der Schneeräumung? Obwohl sie in diversen Mobilitätskonzepten beschwören, ihn fördern und ausweiten zu wollen? Dieser Eindruck drängt sich immer wieder auf, auch in diesen Tagen in Metropolen wie Hamburg, Berlin oder München. Autostraßen frei, Radwege schnee-, eis- oder matschbedeckt – so sieht es allzu oft aus. Und zumindest für Hamburg bestätigen konkrete Zahlen diesen Eindruck.

So verweist ein Sprecher der Hamburger Behörde für Verkehrs- und Mobilitätswende auf ein »315 Kilometer langes Radwegenetz« aus besonders häufig genutzte Radwegen, »die bei Glätte prioritär gestreut/geräumt werden«. Nach Angaben der Stadtreinigung werden diese 315 Kilometer mit bis zu 36 Fahrzeugen zweimal bearbeitet. Die 315 Kilometer machen allerdings nur gut ein Viertel der insgesamt rund 1200 Kilometer Radwege, Schutzstreifen und Fahrradstraßen in der Hansestadt aus. Und eine Stichprobe des SPIEGEL ergibt: Manche Abschnitte, die offiziell als

Development on the plugin seems to have stopped two months ago and the repo has been archived. Unfortunately that means that downloading from GH-actions (as advised in the documentation) is impossible, because the download has expired.

Any workarounds (short of using docker)?

The EU needs more high-speed trains.

There is an EU petition going around to get the European Commission to put in place a legally binding act to establish a European high-speed train network, connecting EU capitals, as quickly as possible.

The link to the petition, as well as the site with more information, are in the pinned post.

These official EU petitions are actually meaningful, and are not your typical online petition, as they require confirmation of identity (e.g., through DigID). It is only open to residents of the EU.

Please consider signing it if you are a resident of the EU.

Obviously this initiative would only be part of the solution. What we really need are more regional trains throughout Europe, and better public transit for everyone.

Nevertheless, a trunk of high-speed train routes between capitals would go a long way towards building a viable alternative to flying and driving within Europe. Just as the Shinkansen (literally "new trunk line") do in Japan.

I have set up a wiki on github pages and will copy the content from the old wiki over in the coming days. Currently I've only moved the faq page and even that is missing a lot of stuff (like most hyperlinks).

If you want to help feel free to jump in. The repo is on https://github.com/lemmygermany/wiki

PS: mods, if you give me your github user name I'll add you as site admins for the wiki

UPDATE: I think, I've transferred everything. There is still work to do. Most internal links are still broken, because they expect the structure on the backend to be the same and it's not. But that is something that can be changed in time. All the content should be there and that's the most important.

I've also fixed a typo in the domain name.
