Take out the road crossings, and take out the Light Rail tunnel from North Shore to Albany (instead convert the Northern Buswsy to Light Rail). With an improved PT corridor, you should expect to see less demand for the additional road crossing, and we should be thinking about more climate friendly options.

And the Light Rail plan from CBD to Mangere should be on the surface along Dominion Road. I don't get the obsession with tunnels. They are expensive and more difficult to access.

Not sure if you saw the news, but the BBC are experimenting with their own Mastadon instance. They can probably afford to host video.

I understand that many instances are run by volunteers and hobbyists. But that doesn't mean that a business such as BBC couldn't come and host their own instance.

And I don't think I implied that you wanted to ban video. I just want to see video integrated natively into Lemmy so that instances can turn it on or off. A Youtube link is no good. I don't like being rickrolled.

The Deaf Community uses sign language which can only be captured and distributed as video. Many Deaf people did not have a good education, therefore their English is not at a level to be fluent. Their first language will be Sign Language. My first Language is Sign Language, but I am also fluent in English. I was privileged to be able to have a good education, thanks to my parents who supported me and made good choices for my educational needs.

Now, back to the point about video in posts and comments. I would like to see an opportunity for a Sign Language instance. There may be funding to cover the cost of storage to allow this, but this can only be a reality of video can be implemented natively.

Other instances can choose to turn this feature off? Let there be an option 👍

For the Deaf Community, their first language is Sign Language. I am Deaf myself, and I am privileged to be fluent in English, however I cannot say that my Deaf friends are also fluent in English. Many of them have the English level of an 8-year old (because of their poor education) so writing in English is not "Deaf-friendly"

Any plans to integrate video into posts and comments natively?

Waiting for the Climate Change Commission to shoot this proposal down.

They started with the Women's Football!

But at the end of the day, the result didn't go our way, and we've been eliminated 😭

Similar thing happened here in New Zealand where we are one of the co-hosts for the FIFA Women's World Cup. The sports segment started with a story about the night's rugby match between New Zealand and Australia.

They ended the sports segment talking about the Women's Football (soccer).

Now that the rugby game has completed, and tonight the New Zealand women's Football team are playing a must-win match Vs Switzerland, I'm very interested to see what the news segment starts off with tonight. Will it be tonight's women's football game, or highlights talking about last night's rugby?

Is anyone else losing respect for players that go to Saudi chasing the money?

I'm not sure if I would consult with a doctor about whether a waste to energy plant is a good idea. They should probably stick to what they are trained and qualified for.

Don't give them ideas!

Well, I'll be pleased to see my friends stop calling it cuntdown
