That's a good point to illustrate the importance of banning cars for personal transportation; all of the traffic is making your partner's job slower and more stressful
It's common to call products dumb when they have the marketing strategy of tricking gullible people into thinking they need it.
Yes, so I can probably plan for it.
Here's a quote from the Wikipedia page:
In 2016, Opera was acquired by an investment group led by a Chinese consortium, the consortium included several Chinese companies such as Kunlun Tech and Qihoo 360.
I think OP believes every town in the US has twice as many homeless people as churches, it doesnt need to be exactly 1 church and 2 homeless people.
But either way, that's probably not true. Since homeless people tend to be in larger cities.
But then again, lots of people become homless in the suburbs and then move to the city to get the social services. If churches in the suburbs housed a few people as they become homeless, it would probably help. It's better to keep people in their communities so they have a better chance of returning to housefullness.
But probably not that much, since homelessness rates are strongly correlated with housing prices, so expensive cities create more homelessness than cheap suburbs.
The obscurity of the Fediverse is not its defense from enshittification. The fact that it's so easy to move from server to server is.
If lemmy.world enshittifies, you can just move to lemmy.sdf.org without a big loss.
I think that lemmy could use more people.
I'm not sure planting forests instead of housing is always a win for the environment. If the land is in a place where people can take sustainable transportation to their jobs, you should put dense housing there. Or else people will have to drive around your suburban forest.
But in the Brain May case, I have no clue where the forest is
Linux is often used to refer to a family of operating systems including Ubuntu, Debian, fedora, red hat, ect., which all use the Linux kernel.
However, GNU/Linux may be a better name for this family of operating systems, since they all use GNU components and (to varying extents) embrace the philosophy of the free software foundation.
Android uses the Linux kernel, but not GNU components, and do not embrace the philosophy of the Free software foundation.
Stalman, the man who founded GNU and the free software foundation published his thoughts on this:

I guess this is a situation where the proper name of GNU / Linux is useful
Edit: Chrome OS is is a GNU/ Linux and a couple of "proper" Linuxes are not.
This can also be achieved by high frequency transit.
I disagree with some of your criticisms of this community:
Netherlands have a GDP greater than every US state except for 4 of them
Walkable cities are cheaper than car infrastructure. Lots of good work was done by Urban3 demonstrates this be calculating the tax income vs tax burden of city blocks. For example, here is their analysis of my city: Eugene Oregon
less land area than 41 of US state
NJB calls this "The Dumbest Excuse for Bad Cities"
the Netherlands are: unique.
I disagree. Lots of developed countries in Europe and Asia have desirable urban disign. In fact, I would argue that the USA is uniquely bad. Heres a graph from vision zero: 
But for the meat and potatos:
If you like spreadsheets presented as a youtube video: you should check out citynerd. Here's a video where he lists cities with affordable, walkable neighborhoods: 10 Walkable US Cities That Won't Bankrupt You. Spoiler: Pittsburgh wins.
I think that parking reforms is the best way to move away from car dependency, and these are being mandated in the state of Oregon, which has also had urban growth boundaries for a long time.
Inheritance is clearly societal ill, and even on a personal level, depending on inheritance might cause family troubles
