I get it, and I got there eventually - But it was clunky and didn't tell the story well, learning about Matrix first from the recent Ubuntu news.

Plus "Threads" threw me off, making me wonder if it was also an AT & ActivityPub client.

Strongly suggest having someone take a less dev focused look at the client list.

Sean @mrzaius.bsky.social · 6d

@element.io suggestion - trying to figure out what you are (open source-focused Discord competitor, maybe?) I clicked through to find a client and hoped the page I found would better explain it.

It didn't.

Much as I despise daylight savings time, how can anyone want it to be permanent?

Abolition is the only way. 🌞

Hey @mcdotnow.bsky.social & @mdsha.bsky.social - The concurrent/overlapping left turn off south kind Veirs with westbound University at Wheaton is dangerous and confusing.

And potentially has an easy way to mitigate it.

Can you please just post clear signage about uturn vs right turn right of way?

Signage like that used in similar scenarios on Old Georgetown

Hate this so much - @wmata.com & @wmatagm.bsky.social: Please add additional means to get off the choked platform at Farragut North, especially at the southernmost end.

So much wasted space at the three permanently idle fare gates

Hey @wmata.com - Can Wheaton talk you out of a sticker on the platform?

Awkward still having to chase car 6.

Talking about the Flash BRT lines - Have been tracking the Veirs one for some time, and curious if the end of fare collection means that new station construction will be significantly cheaper and simpler. Both here and on other new lines.

Will it?

Fukuyama debunks the AI abundance myth: we can't feed or clothe all not due to a lack of smarts, but priorities and resources.

The world simply can't sustain the abundant lifestyle AI proponents promise, lacking even the electricity to run the very AI they favor.

Will abolishing fare collection eliminate the need for stations on new lines?

Can expansion accelerate now?

Are you quite certain that's a real place?

Read with "the interval snack is the concept of sadness" running in my mind. I feel I'm going quite mad.

Genuine question for @arstechnica.com - Great you promote YubiKey FIDO tokens/passkeys as a gift for members, but why don't you support it to log into your service?

And if it's a Condé Nast problem, here's a subscriber to each asking why his accounts to @wired.com , @newyorker.com are separate.

Shouldn't have to be able to read Braille to get an elevator and not barked at for hitting the emergency button.

At @wmata.com Farragut North, just as bad as either end of platform.

And seriously: Just add stairs there. The escalators are always choked with people. Please!
