Sure… of course they can be dangerous.

But that’s why you get pushback when you complain about “e-bikes”: there’s a big difference in the danger and you paint with too broad a brush.

Mass and speed make all the difference and there’s an order of magnitude difference to an e-moto:

  • acoustic bike (10 kg, 20 km/h = 29 kN)
  • e-bike (20 kg, 30 km/h = 73 kN)
  • small e-moto (60 kg, 55 km/h = 340 kN)

(Assuming 85 kg / 190-lb rider for all cases and typical speeds)

    I am the Linux folks.

    FreeIPA is fine, and I don’t care much about the GPO aspect of Active Directory. But the standardization-by-ubiquity that made it easy for everyone to just follow along and make it so it Just Works has been a godsend.

    Yes Microsoft built on the shoulders of giants but trying to make things work with OpenLDAP or the other also-ran directory services was a nightmare.

    Honestly it’s pretty good, but it’s very verbose in its commands and output.

    The default settings are irritating but it takes only minor tweaks to make it tolerable (mainly fixing the tab completion)

    It’s nicely consistent with its object handling.

    As a windows shell it is head and shoulders above cmd.exe. I’ve thought about using it on Linux but there I like fish better.

    Linux doesn’t generally use extensions to decide what shell to use, so it doesn’t matter if it’s an sh file or not.

    If it uses bash of course you can substitute #!/bin/bash

    And of course you can use whatever shell you want, just saying that POSIX-compliance is not really relevant since the script can specify what shell it needs.

    I adore Lemmy, but one frustration that I keep running into is the quantity of shit expelled by Reddit mirror/repost bots.

    No one comments on them, they’re always at a low score, and yet it seems like they account for half the “all” feed.

    What does everyone do about this? Just block the shitty communities that these bots infest and move on? Block the bots themselves? Block the instances that host them? Is there any solution that would limit their damage to the default user experience?

    Specific culprits, for context:

    Now that I post this, I think I spot the common problem amongst these…
