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

Great video, very disappointing sponsorship

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)

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.

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,

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.

You mean the omafiets of OSes, surely.

I mean… He also self hosts his mastodon instance, take a look Gere:

social.notjustbikes.com/

For sure he is technically skilled!

RadicalEagle, w NotJustBikes uses Linux!

You can’t make it the “year of the Linux desktop” for anyone but yourself.

@Kertyna@feddit.nl avatar

I think he did mention he worked in IT.

Zagorath, (edited )
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

Yes I think so. He also runs his own Mastodon instance at notjustbikes@notjustbikes.com.

That’s very on-character for him to do, but it’s still great to hear :)

Vincent, w Natural Handcrafted Artisanal ... Streets?!

I think this will be the video I’ll recommend people unfamiliar with the channel from now on. Fun facts, introducing common problematic concepts, and relatively short.

aeternum, w Natural Handcrafted Artisanal ... Streets?!

Heh. Art is anal
