Ah yeah, it’s just that I’ve been on Lemmy since very early days and .ml was the first instance. I think it’s still one of the bigger ones. Not related to Mali just a domain that was available for free! https://lemmy.ml/post/68360/58307

The short version is that CAFE standards classified vehicles by footprint (track width times wheelbase), allowing larger light trucks and SUVs to meet looser fuel economy targets than smaller passenger cars, incentivizing automakers to upsell bigger models for higher profits and easier compliance.

If you want to read the original article one of these should do it for you: https://web.archive.org/web/20240428101847/https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/24139147/suvs-trucks-popularity-federal-policy-pollution https://archive.is/LJuSN

I’m not. Did I post something that indicated such?

At least in the US context there’s a tax reason for it and the auto lobbyists seemed to ask for it.

I think it’s supposed to pretty easy if you know what you want to make. You can try it here https://mapcomplete.org/studio.html

This will fix that too! TheY mentioned it somewhere where

For what it’s worth, the developers also said the backup system is completely rewritten so that now backups will work across platform and are incremental. Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45176074

Also one thing I don’t see mobilizon doing that luma does well is handling payments. So that’s also a thing that could hinder use by organizers.

That’s great and much appreciated. I’ve been following this platform for years but there wasn’t ever an instance that quite suited me or did I have a good enough reason to set one up. But as I’m getting more excited about dweb and concerns about tech being used against people I am thinking of hosting an instance but also found the https://mobilizon.us/ is actually running and somewhat active. Maybe I can promote it more about dweb folks.

I agree the UI could be improved but also I hit quite a few UX bugs along the way that are pretty bad like not being able to set the date and images disappearing after upload. That being said the US instance is a few versions old so I’m hesitant to open issues since it could be fixed already.

Luma is a wonderful experience and quite popular here in SF. I think it sets a great bar for how the participant experience could be. That being said, it is venture backed and probably not long before it becomes enshittified :/

So I’m thinking I’ll get more involved but I did already open a few issues and one merge request. https://framagit.org/kaihuri/mobilizon-instances/-/merge_requests/2

Based on their Matrix chat it seems the dev team only spends Fridays working on it right now so things are slow. I guess some more community code reviews and the like are a way I could help.

That’s tragic. Sorry about your loss and hope you can resolve it.

My tip for everyone would be if a cloud provider is offering lifetime plans to be very careful because that doesn’t indicate a sustainable model. Not saying it’s always a scam but it’s not a good sign.

Don’t give them any ideas

It should be (according to the video) but maybe sometimes you get an all bad set?

If you really wanna get started with your own domain I highly recommend just getting https://purelymail.com/ setup for the hosting provider. It’s going to be way cheaper than just about anything and you pay for what you use. I’ve been on it for a few years and never had a problem.

I generally only map in places where I am or have been but I definitely would be careful about using it in places with bad imagery.

AI stuff aside, the tool is so so much faster than iD it’s kinda crazy.

I know the author wants to move to vector maps which could make it much easier for someone to selfhost something like that.

Might be worth mentioning your feedback on related issues (or creating them). The dev has been very responsive to feedback in the past.
