Shouldn't we be switching buses with light railway?
Light rail/trams are better especially for avenues etc. But busses are more flexible, and you usually need a combination of both for best results

I hate to sound like a "Reddit Holdover", but is anyone else confused by the swap of downvote/upvote colors?

Which makes it bad for colorblind users like me unfortunately. Red/Orange/Green combined with blue is much better in that regard

'I went through hell:' Newly released Hamas hostage describes kidnapping from kibbutz and captivity
She said they slept on mattresses on the floor of the tunnels, ate the same food as Hamas fighters and received regular treatment from doctors during her incarceration.
“They really took care of the sanitary side of things so that we didn’t get sick,” Lifshitz added.
Each of the five hostages in her group received their own doctor and there was a paramedic present who supervised medication, she said.
“They were very generous to us, very kind. They kept us clean,” Lifshitz said. “They took care of every detail. There are a lot of women and they know about feminine hygiene and they took care of everything there.”
Well, that's nice of them at least. Treating them like humans while they are hostages

Cities: Skylines 2's first post-launch DLC, Beach Properties, is out now and players aren't happy: 'This is a disgrace'
This game was one of the very few I was waiting so badly to come out, and was so so disappointed with the launch. Still hasn't convinced me to try it, although it has come a long way

What's your Google Maps open-source replacement?
Almost all alternatives use OpenStreetMaps. I prefer Magic Earth but all of them are similar enough
The main issue is OSM. They lack many addresses (varies A LOT among different countries, some are fine) and POIs. Please consider contributing yourself, because it depends only on volunteers!
It is SUPER easy. Just download StreetComplete on Android to add multiple different info in a very easy way (or just house numbers which are the most important info) and EveryDoor for POI editing/deletion/addition in just a few clicks. And don't worry if you don't input something because you aren't sure as long as what you enter is correct

Steam players hate NBA 2K24 almost as much as they hate Overwatch 2
I just miss the sport games of 10-20 years ago. They were just fun. Of course they weren't perfect but we didn't care. Now microtransactions have ruined everything....

How has Instagram largely avoided being associated with Facebook/Meta?
Reply in thread
Facebook declined because they fucked up too much with the UI/UX and with how things are shown on the feed. People hated watching only useless posts by users and groups they don't even follow and finding their friend's posts days later when the algorithm decided to show them
Instagram has become more shit in that regard too. But reels really saved it

Is the saying, "The internet's written in ink, not pencil" accurate?
It is surely less accurate than it was presented to be a decade ago. I have searched for info I knew it was online 10 years ago, and most of it is either lost entirely, or Google is useless nowadays and can't find it anymore

"Barbie" makes history as film surpasses $1B in box office sales
I thought it was pretty fun and enjoyable. My GF thought it was a bit boring though. Not for everyone surely, and I think it could have been better but still a solid 7/10 by me
