I don't think you always have to invite every Anna to everything. Usually, there are somewhat natural groups that are relevant to invite, and you invite the Anna's that are part of that. So if I'm having drinks with colleague

Ah, you took it by train - yes, that's probably it. You can only take bikes on the train outside of rush hours. The main reason I think is just because they take up too much space, so presumably it wasn't too much of a problem, so

Honestly the post tries to frame it under the banner of the open web, and offers some justifications for Omarchy that I think could all also apply to a project like Bluefin, so it feels a bit flimsy. My guess would be that it's just th

No idea, my guess would be some software migration where it was too much work to copy the old posts over, but I'm not familiar with what happened.

Off topic, but less than a decade ago paternity leave in the Netherlands was just two days, and it's still nowhere near six months, unfortunately.

Yeah, that covers a significant portion of the population, leaving the roads less congested for those who can't use both that and e.g. a bus.

Well, not super dense; it's available at least in the towns and cities that most people either live in or visit. And it obviously only works for people who can cycle. But with those two restrictions you would still serve a very signi

Was that an OV-fiets (which I was talking about)? (Also asking because they're not by the municipality.) The main restriction is that you should bring it back to the place where you rented it, or pay €10 extra. I don't know how th

The Dutch railways have offered ridiculously cheap bicycle rentals by almost every station for years now, and it's so helpful. No need to plan travel times, just tap your card and go. Of course this also requires proper bicycle infrast

I haven't ever really used KDE, and I'm quite sure that it's still not my desktop, but as someone who was aware of the trouble around 4.0, the view I had of the project was that those problems were long gone, and that most

I guess the question is: how did Ton afford to spend that much time on it? How did all the other contributors? And more importantly: would Gimp have been able to achieve the same thing?

For me it's not so much about what those glasses could do for me if I were to wear them... It's what they do to me if someone else wears them.

Oof, I hate that. Luckily most cafes over here don't have TVs, or even clocks, for exactly that reason. I've been in countries where TVs in cafes are more common, and I don't know how you put up with it.

Yes, it's hard work, but it is possible to see massive improvements in your own lifetime. It might even go faster now that there are so many clear examples already, at least when it comes to the technical aspects of urban planning. S

This is true, but urban mobility in the Netherlands was already great a few decades ago. It's just that once you get to that point, further improvements aren't that controversial anymore, because the benefits are obvious. Thus, th
