A regularly scheduled event is imo the best solution. Just have something on one night per month, everyone knows when it is, if they can’t make it no big deal there’s always next month. No need to continuously be organising something new.

The European Rail Passengers Union recently started and is looking to advocate for solutions to some of these issues.

If you’re at the point of worrying about how much wear on the roads your buses are doing, it’s time to lay down some rails.

Where do you live that actually taxes fuel enough to cover the entire cost of the externalities of cars? A study shows it doesn’t in Massachusets, and this shows it doesn’t in Europe

Lots of people in this thread seem to be missing this. With no cars it makes sense to build a lot more public transport, cycling is suddenly nice and safe, and car oriented places don’t make any sense to build anymore.

That’s true now because 1. Most people in these areas drive and 2. Roads and driving are heavily subsidised. You’re not going to have the same service in small towns as in big cities, but you could certainly provide something useful.

If people use public transport instead of driving, there would need to be many many more services and it suddenly becomes a lot more convenient, even outside cities.

There’s also some useful context here: https://lobste.rs/s/z0mdor/archive_today_is_directing_ddos_attack#c_lefxwx

I’ve been a few times and crossed that border once, only with a phone and maybe kindle but never had a device searched or even looked at. Also on my latest trip last September I got an esim through airalo which didn’t block access to any websites.

I know it’s quite different to what you’re looking for but there is https://bandwagon.fm/ which is a sort of federated bandcamp.

Frequent breaking changes in a programming language is crazy, I’m very happy I don’t have to work with one that does that.

Not sent, but I had an old guy follow me 5 minutes down the road and threaten to kill me to my face because I apparently bumped into him in a busy station.

Here’s one theory: https://drewdevault.com/2025/09/24/2025-09-24-Cloudflare-and-fascists.html

Cars still suck even without the dependence. I live somewhere that very much isn’t car dependant but there’s still too many of them and they still make places miserable.

Not quite as bad for the environment, and often just worse when it comes to all of the other reasons why cars are terrible.

We have that in the UK, the parties all publish manifestos before elections. I think it helps to get the message across and to be clear about what they are and aren’t promising to do. They aren’t, however, legally enforceable so parties aren’t obliged to actually follow up on their promises.

Musicians pay royalties when they use samples. AI companies don’t pay artists for their work.

What’s the difference?

Anti car doesn’t mean completely banning cars. Nobody is saying to replace ambulances with bus trips. There’s obviously a need and cars would be much more effective for those things if the roads weren’t clogged with people who don’t have a need.

Fast & frequent public transport, safe cycling infrastructure, footpaths, just putting things closer together to reduce the need for transport
