Debate about high speed rail (HS2)
Why I'm in favour of HS2:
- Benefit is to local train services, as well as those between cities
- Environmental impact far less than road schemes
- We need huge rail investment for climate-related reasons
- You can't just add extra tracks to existing lines without demolishing huge numbers of houses
- People who know how the rail network works tend to be in favour
This article puts the case well:

Hey everyone: those on this instance is now upgraded to Mastodon 4.0.2!
This was a biggie:
✅ Filter posts by language and better filtering in general
✅ True "edit posts" (no $8 dollars needed) not just "edit and repost")
✅ Follow #hashtags
✅ Language translation of posts
✅ Tons of under the hood improvements
✅ Toot is now gone (RIP) replaced with "publish". We hardly new ye.
Thanks to @Gargron and all the contributors.

twitter fediverse meta
that and also the absolute thermonuclear takes such as implying that fediverse admins are landlords, the move from twitter to the fediverse being engineered to exclude disabled people, or that mastodon is a chatroom that works exactly like a discord guild
they're not even making sense to themselves
Interested in Nix, BSD, solarpunk, emacs/evil, rust etc.
