How do you pronounce daemon? in c/linux@programming.dev

[–] notgold@aussie.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

I always thought the 2 pronunciation of route were different but similar things. Raut as in a set road between two large places, not specific place in a city but the city itself. Root as a path between 2 specific points, house to house.

Once again, more people were killed by cars on LA streets than by homicide last year in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

[–] notgold@aussie.zone 1 points 4 weeks ago

I hear you. Are the people at fault? Most definitely. Did they have the intent to kill? Mostly no; most people don't think of consequences at all.

I was comparing to murder though. Something where you are intentionally try to hurt someone

Yeah unfortunately the trams and trains used to be competitors so there are a lot of places the trams don't interconnect intentionally.

Phillip Mali's did a video about it many moons ago.

Exactly what I thought. I hate cars but most car fatalities are accidental not intentional.

If we started charging car company executives with murder when people were killed on the road, we might get somewhere with reducing the number of vehicles.
