From reading the penny arcade blog about it and watching the trailer, it seems to be an arthouse movie that just happens to be made by the most famous people on earth. You might love it or hate it but most people just won’t get it either way

These sound right to me, especially Dying Earth - a podcast I listen to covered Gene Wolf’s Book of the New Sun trilogy and they described it as such. Wikipedia calls it Science Fantasy. Great books by the way
lot of that going around I guess
Not an idiom, but a slogan for a sugary children’s cereal Trix.
I saw the wall of text, skipped to the punchline, and rolled my eyes glad I saved myself a couple minutes

That average has to have some really grotesque edge cases. What really SHOULD happen for a variety of reasons is city centers shouldn’t be a place you commute to but that you also live in and all the changes that come with that, including having far less or no cars at all. Suburbia and cities designed for cars are the problems, self driving cars are a venture capital magnet looking for a problem to fix.
Reading more of these comments it’s clear we need to invest heavily in biking and transit infrastructure so taking away some idiots drivers license doesn’t damn them to poverty
An issue I see locally is they can’t just paint a circle on the road with a couple signs. It always has to be a million dollar project widening out the curbs, building up a huge curb in the middle, putting a big goddamn planter in the middle, then sprinkle signs liberally until it’s unreadable.
Just like the old world internet, whoever owns (or rents) the server and pays for the connection pays for it. The frontpage has a “Donations” section that lists an OpenCollective link and a Patreon link if you want to send money to the operator. It’s https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld which sounds like they also run a Mastodon instance.
I don’t know the traffic questions, hopefully someone that does comes by or looks it up. It probably varies a lot. You could run your own private instance that would go out and fetch the content you subscribed to but no one else could join. Your comments would go out to the federated instances to be shared if you so choose.
There is no central place. As I understand it if Lemmy.world or Beehaw is destroyed permanently, all those users and and the content is gone but every other instance that shared those communities (the common ones, like this) they will still exist just without the content coming from the disappeared instances.
I’ll look around for an explainer vid because now I’m curious, I doubt most of my guesses are right
Competition is good! Unless it makes shareholders sad.
