If your home IP does not change often, you can use a dynamic DNS service. But your services will be unavailable from the time that your IP changes and the time the DNS record is updated and the cached responses expire.

I do not think the leaders believe that AI is going to replace most jobs. They definitely believe that they can use the threat of AI taking most jobs to further exploit the working class.

I am a man.

I think I might be agender though. I find gender roles as confusing and arbitrary as all the other social rules.

The problem is that the rules for being "polite" and "tactful" are seemingly arbitrary and impossible to understand.

I know there are facial expressions you are supposed to make in certain situations to make your words work as polite, but I cannot consistently figure out how to do it.

Servers are all Debian. Family member's laptops are all Debian. I used Debian on my laptops for 20 years, but when Steam Deck switched to Arch, I switched my laptop to Arch to force me to learn it. I have a file with notes of differences between Debian and Arch. Next time I buy a new laptop, I will probably go back to Debian.

Do you even cycle?

There are several reasons to do this:

  • Most of the sensors that make the lights change will not sense bicycles, so the light will never change.
  • In many places, getting a jump on the car traffic between the light and the next is much safer, because you are getting passed mid-block instead of at the intersection, where you are much more likely to be hit by a turning car.
  • Jumping the light usually means being noticed by drivers while you are moving and they are not, which is great because drivers are notoriously bad at noticing at noticing anything smaller than a 7-11 when they are moving. I have been hit 4 times while stopped at stop signs and red lights, three of which while IN MY CAR, because drivers simply cannot be trusted to pay attention.
  • Usually waiting at the light with the cars means the car in front of you is belching exhaust right into your face.

I now live in a city with very good cycling infrastructure, and a vast majority of people wait for the light, because when the infrastructure is designed well, it is safer to do so.

Or hear me out . . . we could tax churches.

Cyclists act like a cyclist when it is convenient and like a pedestrian when it is convenient.

Cyclists act like a car when it is the only way to avoid getting killed in car-centric hellscapes.

"lost control after hitting the bicyclist" implying that the driver was in control before hitting the cyclist, letting the carbrained readers conclude that this is all the cyclists fault for being in the way and making the driver lose control.

Agreed, very suspicious. I would feel safe assuming that I can use the code under AGPL, but I would hesitate to use it for anything other than personal hobby because it would not surprise me if they closed their github account and never released any more code.
