They have transit to back that up though. There are plenty of smallish towns and rural areas that don’t have any transit at all.

At the same time, those towns are hella compact, such that 90+% of residents can walk to pretty much any retailer or store or other resource within 15-20 minutes.

  • Pandemics are a thing
  • Families wanting nature and places in their backyard that kids can play

I think 15 minute cities are great if you have everything to back it up. All of the grocery stores and mini-box stores left downtown Seattle because a lot are work from home now. If people can work and live anywhere they want, they want nature. You need to have transit for that.

Edit: I’m trying to understand the downvotes, is this not being taught in urban planning? Is it just developers wanting to rent their spaces because their leases are closing out? Or is it naive people wanting to force their ideas without realizing humans are going to make decisions in the process as well? Super interesting thread.

That the US doesn’t have great transit? You’re totally correct. :)

As an American, I worked in Tokyo for a while and I would 100% raise a family in any sized walkable town or city with mass transit.

They also have along with amazing transit, grocery stores within walking distance, like New York. Also, your preferences aren’t everyone’s preferences. Again, if you have the infrastructure to back it up, go for it. If you don’t, work towards this, but take into account all of the possible problems with it. No one was wishing they lived in the city during the beginning of the pandemic.

I can’t really complain about that too much, Seattle has a lake right next to the downtown and the sound on the other side. We also have a ton of parks. When I lived in the Chicago area though, holy crap I craved nature. You had to drive for hours to get much of anything. Our back yard was all we had.

Seattle has a shit ton of nature in the city though, and we’re also getting a decent transit. We have greenery crawling up the concrete everywhere.

LEDs in general aren’t good for your mental health either. Unless it’s an organic screen (OLED), you’re getting too much blues in your lighting and it will make you crave sunlight. They’ve known this for decades. In the winter, get outside more, not less, you need the full spectrum of the sun.

I love how you decided it doesn’t exist because you personally don’t notice. Lighting design is a thing.

The lack of warmth is the color of LEDs, they are based on blues and no reds because of cost and efficiency. In places where you get a lot of sun in the US (Arizona, Southern Cali, etc.), I bet the blues are loved.

I looked into it, thanks for the heads up. www.digitaltrends.com/…/what-is-pholed/

My guess is that companies want to call themselves OLED and charge those prices while giving an inferior light source. People will spend the money and not get the value from it, the gorgeous colors they can’t get to.

I don’t think you understand the basics of lighting fabrication from that statement and those color temperatures are misleading.

That’s interesting to know, I wonder if that’s typical.

You’re right, OLED has great reds and LEDs don’t. Thank you for clarifying that.

There are a lot of good articles about it. Explained in a rudimentary way, it’s super hard to make good reds for LED and has been a problem since its inception. OLEDs use little organic red pixels and the blacks turn off all light instead of replicating a black. It’s super interesting. When I was in school, they brought a major LED inventor to show us what they had, it wasn’t good quality light at the time and for a long time afterwards. OLED was the first time I saw good reds. If you go to a costco, look at the difference between the reds on the same pic, can you tell there is a difference or does it all look sort of magenta? That’s how you can tell if it’s a good OLED or not. To be fair though, you can mess with the settings to make it look shitty which some stores do to sell more of a certain type of tv.

Which microblogging platform should i ideally host?

Opinions on which microblogging federated platform is currently the most stable yet developed one ? I am currently hosting a gotosocial one, but the federation is sometimes a little iffy, so i am in need of some help on deciding what would be the best one to host while being compatible with most of the fediverse.

If someone else wants to post this, please do. Five out of nine SCOTUS seem to have taken bribes. I’m not trying to spam, I just think that they focus a lot on Thomas when there are 4 more that seem just as sketch. Their rulings are over the top as well.
