She/her. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. New to the Fediverse, literally just picked the instance that seemed the most frictionless. Progressive new urbanist vegan in New England.

  • I generally prefer trams and light rail to buses, but buses do offer a lot of flexibility that can be useful in any transit system. I do think that right now they're often not given appropriate priority and used for routes that should be run by trams or light rail though.

  • Someone elsewhere in the thread linked https://www.openmotors.co/product/tabbyevo/, which I had never heard of before and which is actually pretty fascinating.

    I'd obviously say the best open source vehicles are bikes and scooters, but I understand that currently isn't an option for everyone and that even in the ideal scenario there's going to need to be a small number of cars, trucks and vans. IDK how practical something like this will really be, but it's at least pretty neat.

  • I am 100% in favor of density, non-car-centric urban development, active mobility and rock-solid public transit -- I am on this community for a reason, after all, and I further do not drive. But I acknowledge that there are some cases where cars are important for trade work, hauling, etc., as well as where buses are the better option for transit, and in those cases I believe that the vehicle should be electrified. It may only be like 5% of the solution, but it's a part of the solution nevertheless.

  • It sort of has something to do with EVs, in that it's hard to find EVs made before this was standard, so if you're looking for cars without it it's hard to find one that doesn't have an ICE engine.

    (Where cars aren't avoidable, I do prefer they be electric, as, I'm sure, do many, but the privacy concerns are apparently very real.)

    (Edit: hydrogen cars are indeed very neat and more environmentally friendly than electric cars, and in the most ideal scenario what unavoidable car/truck/van usage there was would be hydrogen-powered. It is not AFAIK practical for the average consumer at this time and requires substantial infrastructure updates which the individual consumer can't really do much about beyond lobbying reps, so when it comes down to an individual who does need a car weighing what kind of vehicle to buy, I think it is fair to say that electric cars are better than ICE for the environment but, due to being newer, have more privacy concerns than old ICE vehicles. Neither is as good on either criterion as being able to just go car-free, of course.)

  • This looks super interesting and is new to me; definitely going to check it out, thanks!

  • It's far from a perfect solution at this point, but I've been quite curious about the reticulum mesh network recently. I was looking into it as a disaster resiliency thing, but LBR, is this not also a disaster of a form?
