That’s sad. But do you think it’s less to do with wanting to own a bigger car, and more that regular people can’t really afford to buy new cars anyway? So the sample size is skewed in favour of rich people (or moderately well off) who can actually afford a new car in the first place?
Maybe that’s why we are seeing a surge in e bikes.


Regulate SUVs / Pickup Trucks properly for safety and tax the shit out of them. Nobody needs these cars, they’re status symbols first and foremost. Make it preferable to own a small car.


So - the announcements are in Greek, they’ve just modernised the buses. Cool. Seems like it should be something used more often by the locals.
There has got to be more to this story. Do the buses get stuck in the same traffic jams as other cars? Are they infrequent? Do they only service certain areas?


I feel that this problem has only got worse with the popularity of SUVs. I live in a small town in the UK with a large number or wealthy residents who love their posh Land Rovers. They make driving around the streets a mess - lots of waiting for people to pass due to an effective one way street or because their car is way too big and I can’t safely squeeze past them. If they all had regular cars like me traffic would be able to move a lot easier.

I’d probably bet that the people that have filtered through to Lemmy probably already have their own data storage already sorted - you’ve got less “casuals” as it were. I use Google Drive myself, trying to figure out an alternative.


Fantastic article. I didn’t realise libraries were doing so much - but it’s clear that they are struggling. We should be funding institutions like this absolutely - but also funding housing and health more. If people had a place to live and a place to be healed the library wouldn’t have to pick up the slack.


There’s a local repair cafe that runs once a month near me - I should go next time it’s on, at least to say Hi! There might also be a thing or too I can learn.
Cookie clicker anyone? I play it on both android and PC. Wish Android had more features!
Just wanted to jump in here - I ended up doing as the commenter below me has said and bought a 20TB external hard drive. Well worth doing imo. I’m going to keep all of my important media that I want to save on the 5TB as a backup.
