To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time πŸ™ƒ)

I'll bite, I miss the sysadmin and msp communities. I didn't post much ever and won't ever, but I learned a lot there over years. I'm not getting that here, and it's pretty much why I was on reddit.

As a sysadmin, I handle windows, cloud, Linux, networks, BSD, and more daily. But the "Linux desktop is best" crew are more cult than community & my personal desktop is Linux, which I like, but it's not the answer for my parents, my partner or most of my friends or clients.

I gloss over American politics since I'm not American.

I don't hate cars. But I'm an advocate for walkable cities. I love cars in fact. I would quit my job if I could earn enough just restoring cars slowly all day.

But I'm still here. So that's also a statement.

I think "FuckCars" is meant to be "FuckCarDependence" but that's not as catchy. People in those communities are usually pretty open about the fact that cars have their purposes and aren't evil on their own.

Yeah, I am on team "Fuck Car Dependance" because I hate everything about em - driving, the ecological impact of cars and the society wide inequalities created and reinforces by designing space around them.

But I would be virtually unhirable in my field if I didn't drive... And there is zero way to fix that even if we managed to dismantle the system of strodes, massive parking lots, low density suburbs, inadequate public transit etc...

Oh yeah, delivering them poems while driving past would be pretty hard without a car ;)
