federalreverse, w This Might Just Be the World's Best Metro System

So, about that NordVPN ad… That doesn’t make any sense, or does it? Why’d he need a Korean IP adress from a VPN if he’s already in Korea?

Seoul

lornosaj, w This Might Just Be the World's Best Metro System

Any tl;dw, yt link, or a summary (which city at least)? I like NJB, but I don’t want to register to a random site for this.

EDIT: It’s there.

In 1974, the first metro line was opened in Seoul, South Korea. Dozens of lines were built over the past few decades and today it’s so advanced and comprehensive that it might just be the world’s best metro system.

The video will be on YouTube later. I think NJB puts his videos up one week after the Nebula version?

fwiw though Nebula is not “a random site”. It’s the creator-owned platform that NJB and a bunch of other YouTube channels are on that helps give them a more reliable income source than the fickle YouTube algorithm, while being far more affordable and practical for the end user than supporting dozens of different individual people on Patreon.

lornosaj,

Didn’t know this about Nebula; will check it out, thanks for the info!

ConsumptionOne,

I subscribed on a $30 first year promo. Happy with it for the price. NJB, Climate Town, City Nerd, and a few other creators I was following before are on there, plus I’ve discovered some new content that’s pretty good. Plus it’s a little less YouTube/Google in my life.

I’d also recommend it. There’s a lot of great, high quality content from well-known creators with no ads and occasional other perks like early NJB videos.

Wendover did a good video (yt) on the Nebula model and background (Sam’s also the Chief Content Officer).

Great video, very disappointing sponsorship

@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

Sponsorship? This is the Nebula version, there wouldn’t be any sponsorship. Did he accidentally leave it in and I just blanked that out?

MBM,

Oh! Sorry, I watched the youtube version (which has a bit of a shady sponsor)

Vincent, w They Tore Down a Highway and Made it a River (and traffic got better)

It’s looking really cool! I also saw some horrible roads in some shots, but certainly looks like it’s moving in the right direction. Would love to visit some day.

Vijfsnippervijf, w Not Just Bikes — They Tore Down a Highway and Made it a River (and traffic got better)

Kind-of similar to what they did in Utrecht. In the 1960s, they built a stub for a highway in part of the Utrecht canal. Then in the 2010s they turned it back into the canal it once was. And it led to a MUCH better atmosphere.

What’s the coordinates or name. I want to explore this from satellite maps.

Zagorath,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

It’s called Cheonggyecheon, 청계천. Google Maps in Korea is really, really poor (for legal reasons). The satellite quality doesn’t even come close to capturing this (you can barely even tell it’s there), and Street View is just from the road (as of 2018 at the most recent) where you can see that it’s there, but not get much of a sense of it. There are a very small number of those individual non-path Street View photos.

FundMECFSResearch,

Thanks. There are actually quite a lot of good street view of it. Some even on the sidewalk inside.

But yeah you can’t see shit from satellite views because the tall buildings block everything ahah.

I lived in Busan at the time this project was done, and visited Seoul only a few weeks after it opened. I didn’t know anything about urbanism at the time, I just knew it was such an incredibly nice place to be.

Letstakealook, w NotJustBikes uses Linux!

As someone who used Linux for years, then left due to issues with compatibility, and have recently returned; Linux distros have come a long way in ease of use for average/casual users like myself. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how well everything just works. I’ve had to research a few things I wanted to do with my system, but those actions were going beyond the most common use cases. I don’t know if it is the “year of the Linux desktop,” but Linux is definitely in a place now that greatly increases its approchability. I know the community is very big on customization and tinkering, but that isn’t what the average pc user values, so having distros that are functional with zero or minimal tinkering will certainly be a boon to wider adoption. With apple being a “boutique” company and Microsofts continuous anticonsumer practices (my reason for switching), I definitely forsee a growth in Linux market share.

Awesome, Mint has been my daily driver lately. Kinda feels like the Toyota Camry of OSes lol.
