The backend is quite alright. The Rust backend makes it indimidating to approach, but I know it has many advantages.

The frontend could use LOTS of changes. I don't like Inferno, it's messy and confusing to work with. Instead, I would have opted for a Svelte+Tailwind stack for the UI.

Agreed. And where it's not really worth it to link with trains they just do it with buses instead, between the smallest villages and the mid sized towns where trains do arrive.

Then if you have to link something that's even smaller than villages, people can just walk to the nearest village (in Europe this usually means walking 20-30 minutes at most) and take the bus there.

But more importantly, villages and rural places are an area where I can tolerate cars, because they aren't as unnecessary or replaceable as they are in cities.

It is possible to use Discord from the browser without necessarily making an account, but many big servers have restrictive measures that prevent users without a verified email addreds (or even a verified phone number, in the strictest of cases) to access. This will depend on your friends' setup.

I don't know if it's possible to bridge Discord to Matrix, but I can tell you that it's got a pretty prolific API for building bots and integrations, so someone might have already built something of that kind. Alternative clients are tecnically against the TOS (afaik) but I know of people who have built large projects without ever getting any complaints from the company.

Yeah I'd say it's pretty normal all over Europe, it might just be a common case of Americans being weird.

The type of arrangement I'm used to, property of the building is shared among the owners of the flats, who vote on how to run it in an assembly. They also appoint (and pay for) the maintainer you spoke of, but their role is more centered on overseeing/administering the building, handling paperwork, hiring contractors and such. Also, even for very large flats you end up paying a couple hundred euros a year for their services, so it hardly compares to rent.

1. No
2. Yes
3. I would have guessed that, yes. I guess I just learnt a new word lol

Coconout milk would be confusing if they didn't put a picture of a coconout on the label and made it evident that it what you are buying isn't actually milk. I simply believe this same reasoning also extends to meat and any other products that may have a plant based alternative.

To be fair I hardly ever buy packaged meat so I'm not sure how their labels would look. Though I would expect the plant industries would try and pass their plant based product as the real thing, to trick omnivorous people on buying it instead, so they would write "plant based" or whatever as small as possible if at all (depending on food regulations in the country they are selling it in, of course).

I guess such an assumption would base itself in vegetarian people being more careful with what they buy, compared to normal people, otherwise they'd be tricking them too.

Eh I hadn't really considered the flip side but it makes sense, it's also a problem the other way around for vegetarian folks wanting to be able to spot vegetarian products at a first glance, yeah.

If you wish buy plant based "meat" you should be free to do that, but calling "steak" what clearly isn't is just trying to fool the customer into buying something they're probably not interested in purchasing.

Oh no sorry I worded that incorrectly lol. I meant "Can someone translate this from [the language of] snowflakes to English?"

I'm genuinely confused by what might cause one to get offended by this. Can anyone translate snowflake to English for me?

That's an alternate colour for LibRight. If we're talking stereotypes then it's the colour that tends to be associated with rapists, sexual predators, pedos and degenerates of that kind.

Eh, it still wouldn't be "free software" at that point. "Free" also means freedom to send your data to Meta if you want to.
