More Accessible Public Transport, For Everyone (w/ @urbanmobilityexplained)


Watch this video ad-free on Nebula: nebula.tv/videos/rmtransit-mor…

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to use public transport when the system wasn’t designed for your body? For many fat people, daily mobility means facing barriers like narrow seats, tight turnstiles, and inaccessible toilets. In Brussels, Belgium, the association Fat Friendly is working to change that.

In this video in collaboration with @urbanmobilityexplained , we explore how fat people experience public transport in Brussels, and how city planners and authorities can create more inclusive and accessible spaces for everyone! Mobility isn't just about getting from A to B, it's about making sure everyone feels comfortable along the way!

= Respect & Kindness =

We’re talking about making public transport work for all body types! Please keep comments respectful. Fatphobic or discriminatory remarks will be removed. Huge thanks to Marie-Amah and Pelphine from Fat Friendly for sharing their story on camera. Let’s make this a safe and welcoming space for everyone!

The image depicts a coastal landscape in black and white. In the foreground, the dark, rippling sea stretches across the bottom of the frame, with gentle waves visible. The middle ground features a rugged coastline with cliffs and vegetation, where the land meets the water. In the background, rolling hills and distant mountains create a layered effect, with the sky above filled with clouds. The lighting is soft, with some areas illuminated by sunlight, creating a contrast between light and shadow. The overall composition emphasizes the natural beauty and tranquility of the coastal scene.

Ma veramente ci serve un deodorante per tutto il corpo? Più Dove si "impegna" a fare pubblicizzare non discriminanti, più invece avverto la sensazione che veicoli standard senza senso. Ma non escludo che sia solo la mia percezione.
in reply to adriananselmo

@ecate85 vedendo la pubblicità e alcune persone che lo sponsorizzano sui social, ho letto alcuni commenti di persone che dichiaravano che essendo loro sovrappeso erano più predisposte a sudare eccessivamente in diverse parti del corpo e un deodorante così era utile. 🤷🏻‍♀️
in reply to Trinity

posso capire sono anche io in sovrappeso... però penso anche che questo essere sempre carine profumate informa, veicola anche un messaggio di performatività... la pubblicità è solo per le donne, gli uomini invece possono puzzare?

Das Bild zeigt eine klassische weiße Automarke mit einem auffälligen roten Kühlergrill und einem ovalen Nummernschild mit der Abkürzung "DDR" und der Nummer "8318". Die Karosserie ist glänzend und weist eine runde, voluminöse Form auf, typisch für Fahrzeuge aus der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Scheinwerfer sind rund und symmetrisch angeordnet. Im Hintergrund sind weitere klassische Fahrzeuge zu sehen, darunter ein rotes Auto und ein beige Auto, die die Umgebung als eine Sammlung von historischen Autos andeuten. Die Umgebung wirkt wie ein Museum oder eine Ausstellung, mit einer Backsteinwand im Hintergrund.

Under the Trump regime, a group of Trump voters in Arkansas are building a whites-only community with no access for any minority (including LGBT), and with home schooled children, German sheapard dogs, a fondness for traditional German music, and Swasticas.

Trump and Stephen Miller must be popping a bottle of champagne tonight, because this seems to be going right according to plan.

(I am so glad I lived to see the wonderful America that was before the Trump regime)

On the face of it, it doesn't seem terrible if all the racists go and live in one place and leave the rest of us alone.

I'd guess however, that such people can't really live in their bubble and be content, especially when it turns out that life with only white people is really nothing special or exciting.

They'd need to keep the rhetoric going and demonise the people living outside their borders, making the whole area unsafe.

One of life's lessons is if someone does something evil to you, and you decide to let it go, they are sure to do it again and again until you stop letting them do it.


I always read about how social media has created dopamine addiction and attention issues with consumers. I wonder what it does to people who create the content full time, especially the big content creators who have never known any other type of life. They just all seem miserable.

Naming things is hard. Sometimes you can't think of a name at all; sometimes there are too many choices; and sometimes there's a name that attracts you like a black hole – you can't resist its pull, but it has a fatal flaw.

One thing I work on in my day job is a free software project called "Tarmac Trace Utilities". "Tarmac" is the name of a file format (a textual trace of everything an Arm CPU did); TTU parses and indexes a Tarmac file and then provides command-line tools to work with it.

It also provides a reusable API, allowing third-party tools to do their own custom analyses. But the API is only in C++. I sometimes wonder about writing a set of bindings for some easier-to-use language like Python.

The question is, what would I call that Python module?

The irresistible but fatally flawed answer: PyTTU.

Le dernier témoignage, très bref, d'un membre de la LDH qui a fait du bénévolat comme écrivain public dans cet arrondissement, éclaire aussi un point : les flics se plient à des demandes d'habitants du quartier. De bonne grâce, mais tout de même. Y'a des complices de ce harcèlement des gamins.
in reply to MoinsVieuxLéon

L'ensemble de ces affaires, de toutes les fois où il a été établi que les policiers et gendarmes ont menti au cours des procédures, des procès-verbaux, etc. devrait au minimum donner aux plus mous à gauche l'idée que faute d'abolir la police, au moins faudrait-il en finir avec les assermenter.


There's an old Soviet #joke, which thanks to neoliberalism, applies in several countries now :

A man goes to a newspaper stand every day, buys a copy of Pravda, glances at the front cover, curses, and throws it away.

After a few weeks of this the seller just has to ask what's going on: "why do you always look at the cover but never inside?"

"I'm looking for an obituary."

"An obituary? But those are in the back!"

"Oh no, the obituary I'm looking for will be on the front page."

The image illustrates three different selection methods for a series of icons labeled A through E. The first method shows that clicking on icon B selects only B. The second method demonstrates range selection, where selecting from A through C highlights A, B, and C. The third method shows extending the selection to E, which highlights A, B, C, and E. Each icon is a simple black and white face with a hat, arranged in a row. The selection is indicated by a black background for the selected icons. The image is labeled "Figure 6. Selection Methods."

“Find someone who will do and marry them,” @RichardVReeves tells @ShadiHamid2.

“It’s less about picking the perfect wife, and more about being a good husband.” wapo.st/4n0XebK



On the one hand, I like the idea of @delta on the other hand, I struggle to find a practical use for it. If the receiver does not use it, I cannot really use it like I would use a messenger without confusion or even annoying my "chat partner". If I need to convince them to install it it's no benefit compared to other messengers like @signalapp , it's even harder to configure initially. So in consequence I just send a regular email or write a Signal message.
in reply to Angelo Veltens 🏳️‍🌈

What you are describing is the original plan from 2018, but it hasn't worked out well. Support for this isn't going away yet, but it's not the recommended way to use Delta Chat especially because you're allowing mixing encrypted and plaintext communications in the same account.

Your existing email probably won't work very well. E.g., If you were in a group chat with 100 people you could only send 5 messages before your entire Gmail account is locked for 24 hours. Gmail limits you to 500 email per day and they count each unique recipient as a new email.

These rate limits and other limitations on legacy email accounts make using DeltaChat mostly impractical, that's why the Chatmail servers exist. They have no limits, and Chatmail accounts can never send or receive unencrypted messages

in reply to feld

@feld @compl4xx thanks for the explanation, then my assumptions were indeed outdated. But then again I wonder whether email as a protocol is a good fit for chatting. Why not instead use signal or matrix protocol?
Questa voce è stata modificata (3 settimane fa)
in reply to Angelo Veltens 🏳️‍🌈

A government can demand all of Signal and Matrix be blocked (currently happening in some places), but can't demand all SMTP/IMAP be blocked without harming themselves. We get reports all the time like "my friend is in China and the only secure messenger they can use without a VPN is Delta Chat"

The protocol is old and some things are outdated (7BIT ASCII, binary attachments are base64 encoded, etc) but it works because email is too important.

There are often concerns or complaints about email metadata and PGP, but people haven't paid attention to what Delta Chat has already done and what is on the roadmap:

- Delta Chat as a custom client can move nearly all metadata into the encrypted payload including the email Subject, which people assumed was impossible (not when you control the clients!!)

- the PGP implementation is written in Rust and has been audited multiple times; it also allows you to not expose the key metadata of who you're encrypting the message for

- uses the same ed25519-dalek Rust crate as Signal

- Post-Quantum Encryption is about to be released from Draft status for PGP and will be enabled for Delta Chat

- Perfect Forward Secrecy is possible with Delta Chat as the client is fully controlled. An implementation has been drafted but other priorities supersede it right now

- all mails can be sent with an anonymous address on the envelope like noreply@ because the clients identify the sender by the encrypted message contents, not the envelope; only the Chatmail operator your message initially went through will know the IP address and account name the message originated from

- identities are tied to keys now and Chatmail allows instant anonymous account provisioning, so hopefully soon we'll see the core upgraded to automatically register ephemeral accounts across the public Chatmail servers. Each message can be routed from a different address and your contacts won't know it happened. List of addresses you're currently reachable at can be embedded inside each payload so they always know how to respond, and they can send the same copy of the message to every known contact address for you and it will all be gracefully handled / deduplicated by the client, etc

- Delta Chat messages can then be routed over UUCP and Ham Radio, etc in case of a total internet blackout

Lots of things are possible that can't be done with Signal for example. And as a bonus the users around the world aren't beholden to a US corporation / US-based internet hosting services

in reply to Angelo Veltens 🏳️‍🌈

My other main criticism about Matrix, other than their history of issues with clients, key synchronization, server performance, etc is that there's no such thing as a "delete"; it's faked. Everything is kept forever on the server which is a huge concern. They have too much metadata/state on the server about group chats and social graphs too. One of the Delta Chat founders left a detailed public message about it a few weeks ago.
