We moeten eigenlijk iets van een tracker hebben, om elke stem/beslissing en nevenactiviteiten van elk kamerlid te tracken en documenteren. En dan makkelijk doorzoekbaar maken en categoriseren.

(Misschien bestaat het al en weet ik niks)

I personally like it, although it is good to check what the optimal place of the stations is. It should be both benefitial to the North of Germany and the North of the Netherlands, and connect as many people in that area. So maybe you’d need an additional station near Oldenberg or Bremen to not skip over too much of east Germany.

If you also place a High speed line south from Amsterdam-Essen-(further south like) and Essen-Hanover-Hamburg, you have most of that area covered.

But my guess is that they’d build an Amsterdam-Hanover-Berlin line, especially when they don’t plan ahead.

At somepoint probably yeah. Unfortunately, it does seem that Amsterdam-Berlin seems to be pushed for a lot, and I fear for that poor decision fucking up the rest of the raillines.

An Amsterdam-hamburg-berlin line makes more sense imo, especially when you push it more towards the north as it doesn’t cut the countries in half. It also gives you possibility to expand both north towards scandanavia, which you can extend further south to the rest of europe, or eastern europe through berlin.

But I doubt that will happen, because that is a bit slower than through hanover

No they don’t, most people live outside of the capitals.

Amsterdam-Berlin is vanity project that is a diservice to both the Netherlands and Germany. The only benefactors are Amsterdam and Berlin

It’s not like this initiative disallows you from building other high speed rail connections.

It does though, raillines cost money and money is finite.

When you build poorly planned highspeed lines any new line you want to build after that is going to be underutilized. Underutilized raillines will be (and have been) scrapped, which makes certain areas even less reachable by train

I think a Rome-Berlin line makes somewhat sense, due to the south-west - north-east coverage you get. But Amsterdam-Berlin does nothing more than isolating the North of both the Netherlands and Germany even further

I don’t agree with it. There are many capital cities that are in terrible locations for highspeed rail and are would be a diservice to the rest of the country.

Cities like Amsterdam, Berlin, and Viena are just the worst places to reach for most of their respective countries. Say you live in Munich and you want to travel to Amsterdam, you are still stuck on the slow train if you focus on a Berlin-Amsterdam route.

If high speed rail is supposed to be successful it should be about covering geographical distance fast. Or the car and planes are still going to be the prefered option.

Ja, een interactieve RSS is wel een beetje de richting waar ik aan zit te denken. Vooral ook iets waar mentions en replies bij meegenomen worden

Ik heb ook nog niet in diepte naar activitypub gekeken. Zit te denken om misschien te contributen aan lemmy. Maar, ik heb in iedergeval een hoop ideeen hoe ik het zelf zou oplossen. Eerst maar eens kijken wat de bestaande oplossingen zijn voordat ik het wiel opnieuw uitvind

Is de Reddit Blackout de reden dat je hier bent gaan lurken/commenten?

Ja, maar niet zoals je zou denken. Ik was bekend met mastodon, maar vind het waardeloos in de praktijk. Met de blackout dacht in van de reddit enorm makkelijk te vervangen door een decentralized reddit, was nieuwsgierig, en vond lemmy met wat google termen (weet niet meer wat)

Wat vind je tot dusver van de Lemmy ervaring? Wat mist er?

Het is oke, maar niet helemaal zoals ik mij voorgesteld had. Lemmy heeft wat zwakke punten als het gaat om decentralisatie. Of er is enorm veel kans op fragmentatie, waar je 100 verschillende communities hebt die allemaal het zelfde zijn (met de zelfde leden en content, dus je krijgt alles 100x dubbel te zien, die je met 10 verschillende accounts moet volgen omdat sommige instances niet willen samenwerken)

Of alles wordt gecentraliceerd naar een paar instances. En de eigenaar van de instance kan je zonder reden jouw en jouw communities bannen, dus je moet maar kunnen vertrouwen op z’n blauwe ogen dat die een beetje om kan gaan met meningsverschillen.

Denk je dat Lemmy of een andere fediverse site leidt tot de terugkeer van kleinere forums en communities op internet?

Mogelijk. In mijn ideale wereld heb in een centrale client waar je updates van alle soort forums kan volgen die jij interessant vindt, zonder dat je op 100 verschillende forums moet inloggen. En ik denk dat dit een stap in de goede richting is.

Well, looking at all the comments in this post, not everyone agrees with that. i do think the Apollo dev is a king in how he has handled everything though

You don’t have to care, nor do I care

There are a multitude of reasons for making the API paid or rate limited, I don’t think the CEO went with the right approach. But it was due time at some point

Of course you can complain about reddit. It just makes you look like a tantrum throwing toddler, especially when you complain about the reddit users that do choose to stay. How dare they make different choices than you

Ask the CEO, not me 😂 I’d have approached it differenly

I agree with both yeah. Personally I would have made different choices than the CEO has.

Have a more realistic planning for developers to adapt. Offer different types of api pricing models.

It all could have been handled more strategically, which makes him a poor CEO in my opinion

This thread really makes everyone look like a bunch of toddlers throwing temper tantrums.

The fact is that Reddit is a a company and companies exist to make money. 3rd party apps are hitting their bottom line and they’re losing out on the 12 cent per user per month they are normally getting. Which roughly translates to a couple of million USD per year. Be honest, you would not donate millions of dollars out of the kindness of your heart either.

They have the right to do this, and you have the right to leave reddit. But stop complaining about the people that do keep using reddit and want to keep using reddit.

My personal opinion is that I do think the CEO has made some poor decisions, and the API pricing is on the high side. But there are many good arguments to be made to make the API priced

Edit: these downvotes though, true reddit moment 🥲

Kind of thinking the same thing, I want to learn rust, but have not gotten an excuse to start using it. Maybe dedicating 8-16 hours per 2 weeks could help me learn rust and do something more complex than writing hello world. I have some additional time in a month or so, so might as well try

I was thinking about learning rust and contribute to open source projects, so it might be a good option. I do have a laundry list of notes about the platform itself though

I picked my regional one (technically also better for latency)

I don’t make the rules 🤷 Maybe easier to prove? The media just doesn’t like getting sued.

The article does say:

The man was reported to have sexually assaulted one of the women

Yeah, it is a bit of a flaw of the system in my opinion. While I do like lemmy so far, I do have a long list of things I want to point out in a longer post later this week.

As a user you are at the mercy of your instance to be randomly cut off from your favorite communities. Of course you can sign up in multiple instances, but that kind of defeats the point of federation
