@MartyCormack @meganL @ascentale @cpm @bikenite the interior is filled with little distractors and night-vision destroyers, the exterior glass is almost never perfectly clean and then there's roof columns. Plus the incentives are slightly askew -- you have the option of crashing into someone and escaping unscathed. Riding a bike at night, I spot pedestrians by reflective trim/piping on shoes and backpacks, or the glow of their phone or dog-eyeball retroreflection. True ninjas /

@gcvsa @ascentale @cpm @bikenite retroreflective tape and stickers can be a great solution and also fun (I had some retroreflective skulls on a helmet once). I have used it on cranks and chain stays before (following your advice)

@MartyCormack @meganL @ascentale @cpm @bikenite apparently worked very well (didn't quite make it to statistical significance, but otherwise a good study, N was large not not large enough for something as uncommon as bad crashes). So, hi-vis, meh, lights, good. I think most drivers see us already, but lights help w/ inattentive drivers. Third, from years of both driving and biking, sometimes at night, I think that driving a car reduces your ability to see. It's too fast, /
@cpm asks about "Wear Bright Clothes!"
Around here, there have been two severe cyclist:driver collisions after dark along a particularly noxious reach of stroad recently.
Lots of soc media chatter, and >90% heavily in the victim blame camp.
Q7. How is this possible when "bright" winter garments don't really exist?
(And how do we change the framing and conversation?)

@ascentale @cpm @bikenite #BikeNite A7. More on the flashing light vs. constant light question. Flashing lights are definitely more visible than constant lights, but they should not blink faster than 1-4 Hz (times per second), and they should not be overly bright. They are for visibility, not wayfinding. They may, however, be illegal in some juridisctions and/or circumstances.
I am a big, big fan of the Cat Eye Omni 3 lights, which take 2xAAA batteries. They can be constant or flashers.
Made more friends!

@vicgrinberg adding cats is scientifically proven to increase happiness 🤭
@oneloop I mean ... basically YunoHost is "just" a Debian with a bunch of preconfigured services like nginx, postfix, fail2ban, .. You can probably even run it on 256MB? But, like Debian, a "naked" with no apps is probably a bit useless, the real question is what you're hoping to do with it

What we really want for Christmas: people before algorithms.
@EUCommission While you're still here, maybe officially closing your accounts on advertising (algorithm) based platforms and putting out the word that there are ActivityPub alternatives?

@neil the sealion that just walked into the room tells me that those are wings, not spoilers...
Trump has now spent 340 days ending the Ukraine war in 1 day.

To be fair, #DonTheCon didn't say Day One of what year. 🤔
My best guess: Destroy the world. Humanity must start over. "Day One". All those promises will be MUCH easier on an ACTUAL "Day One".
OK, this is genuinely scary. It's a picture of me, aged 5. It was taken in 1960. It was scanned and uploaded to Google Photos in 2002. No one has told Google where it was taken. But the map, bottom right, is correct.
Obviously, in 1960, my father's pre-war Exakta camera did not have GPS. Could you identify, from that picture, exactly where it was taken?
Google can.
@simon_brooke It is called data correlation. They have enough cartographical datas in their databases to pinpoint almost any location shown on the photos. Geography, topography, cartography, the location of buildings and their plots, streets/roads network developed over the time, land registration numbers, and so on. One thing that must be done is to simply connect these items appropriately. And that's it. People can not hide themselves anymore. And that's most scariest thing. There's no privacy

This analysis of Valve’s approach to hardware was really interesting.
I have bought all their hardware and will likely buy all the new stuff and this helps explain why.
@wlukewindsor @ascentale @cpm @bikenite I would add to this that reflectivity on moving parts is vastly superior to reflectivity on non-moving parts, but you should also have reflectors on the non-moving bits.
@gcvsa @ascentale @cpm @bikenite retroreflective tape and stickers can be a great solution and also fun (I had some retroreflective skulls on a helmet once). I have used it on cranks and chain stays before (following your advice)
Do you sell digital goods? If so, have you encountered email inquiries about purchasing power parity (lower prices for some regions)?
I don’t do it. I don’t know many people that do it. I’m curious what people who sell stuff think of doing that.
