Its a little funny but sad that people keep wanting to commute on a bike but their government blocks them with stupid rules.
Why stand in the way of progress when you can be part of it?
Compare the pictures of everyone fit with clean air cycling to work in Beijing in the 70s and 80s, with piles of ebikes dumped in huge piles in a smog-laden Beijing of the 2010’s as fossil-fuel-powered capitalism has grown to the point everyone is driving cars.
Pretty sad and stupid. Bikes are one of the greatest designs - in terms of efficiency - humankind has ever come up with.
Why this strange link to vger.to? It just redirects to https://lemmy.world/post/1433287 and serves no purpose that I would understand.
Yeah, it’s a Voyager (the app) thing. It’s the default now when sharing a link. I’m not sure why, it seems completely useless, more expensive for the devs, and a privacy problem for everyone else (redirect links are a form of tracking).
Friendly reminder for everyone using Voyager to turn it off. I already did.
No idea. I copied from a different instance (nsfw). Maybe that why.
You can edit your post to change the link if you wish [to remove a layer of redirection]. Or even edit to directly the final destination of straitstimes com…
I did. Looks like vger.to is some sort of Voyager related redirecting thing. Totally unnecessary yup but its there for any Voyager link I try to copy.
You shouldnt have to “copy” anything. Just use the crosspost feature which automatically creates a copy of the entire original post and posts it into the community of your choice. If your client doesnt support crossposting then its shit and you should use a different client.
They’re just making life worse for truly disabled people. Me-first mentally at its finest… 🙁
Can you elaborate your point? Is if because they increase traffic for disabled people? Or because this may trigger restrictions for wheelchairs?
Restrictions for wheelchairs, generating ill-will towards people riding wheelchairs, driving up the cost of buying a wheelchair perhaps, if those people create a shortage…
The guy looks a bit like Dr Evil.
You guys realise the article is from almost two years ago, right? And I’ve never saw young and healthy people actually commute in a wheelchair on purpose.
Its not about when but what.
