You linked to https://lemmy.zip/c/BoardGameArena, which is usually fine, but sometimes causes issues for users who are not on lemmy.zip.

It takes (most) people away from their home instance, to another one where they are no longer logged in and their preferences are not applied. Better to use a ! link.

Won’t that make the front fall off?

I did call out data density in my first comment. Did you somehow miss that? Not all things that need storing are megabytes in size, though.

Why would you assume that paper means punch cards? Printers can store far more than a machine word on a page, are relatively cheap, and are widely available. For some things, this can be superior to both magnetic and flash storage.

Note that Apple has been participating for more than 12 years.

I was excluding media that are impractical for most people to use.

Strictly speaking, I think paper beats magnetic tape on longevity.

Unfortunately, it loses on data density.

I disagree.

1. OP wasn’t at all specific about what kind of transit app they were seeking, as others have noted.
2. Whatever kind of privacy-friendly transit app they want, F-Droid is exactly the place to find it.
3. There are only a handful of each type there. Comparing that to an ocean is absurd.
4. Many people don’t know about F-Droid at all, and just need a pointer to it.

Despite disagreeing, I appreciate that you used your words. Thanks.

I suggest browsing the apps available here:

Edit: I have no idea who would downvote this or why, but doing so is not helpful to anyone, in any way. If you have a question or concern, please just write it in a comment.

I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.

It was a few years ago when I read Signal’s statement about this, so I’m afraid I don’t have a link for you.

I believe you when you say Molly functions, but it’s important to note that without Signal’s blessing, anyone using Molly can be locked out of the network (and their chats and contacts) at any moment. It’s not the same as official interoperability.

I wonder if the Digital Markets Act will eventually force it.

Unless Signal’s policies recently changed, Molly is not interoperable, since Signal does not allow third-party clients to use their servers/network. That would make point 2 correct.

If that policy has changed, then someone please link the announcement so I can update my notes.

Diablo Canyon, California’s sole remaining nuclear power plant, has been left for dead on more than a few occasions over the last decade or so, and is currently slated to begin a lengthy decommissioning process in 2029.

So this AI is apparently not operating a nuclear plant, which would be concerning.

For now, the artificial intelligence tool named Neutron Enterprise is just meant to help workers at the plant navigate extensive technical reports and regulations — millions of pages of intricate documents from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that go back decades — while they operate and maintain the facility.

Ah, that makes more sense. I hope it doesn’t end up leading humans away from correct understanding of safety regulations.

People should not be treated badly in general, but not “called out”?

I run into video-link-only posts in text forums on Lemmy every so often, and IMHO, they contribute little more than noise. There’s nothing wrong with encouraging their authors to at least add a summary or start a conversation about the subject matter. Without that, video links that aren’t of obvious widespread interest usually feel like they’re treating the rest of us as a click farm, whether we’re vision-impaired or not.
