ginerel, to fuck_cars in [image] Riyadh (population 7.6 million) is finally getting a metro. Initially scheduled for 2018, after successive delays it will open early this year

Finally

This is the keyword for such a city. It should've gotten such a system already by now when reaching the first million. All these arab/middle eastern cities seem so extremely focused on car infrastructure to a rather disturbing degree. And all the carbrains I know think these cities are the pinacle of modern city development: all just gigantic glass skyscrapers and highways circling around them - nothing else.

Also, back on Facebook/Instagram, there's not a single person who had the money to visit Dubai once and post pictures from there (at least that I'm aware of), that is not car brained. I'm sure they all use their car everywhere and nothing less, they could even be doing their basic shopping from the corner store with it, I think.

ginerel, to piracy in FileList.io shutting down by the end of the year :( UPDATE: not anymore :)

This was a Romanian tracker, and it was pretty much the most popular one (or at least that I know of), so I am pretty sure there was a lot of local content as well. Movies also always had Romanian subtitles IIRC, so it was a great source for anyone not having a really good English comprehension to fiddle around.

There surely are other trackers as well that I'm not aware of or there's Romanian content on other international ones, but the community there was quite impressive - you always knew you could source some good quality stuff.

For me, personally, FL was pretty much my go-to whenever I wanted to get something that I couldn't source for free.

It's already down, omg. I hope it's just temporary :(

Edit: seems like there's just too much activity on it. I briefly reached the login page, but after entering my credentials, I got the same error. Guess we're safe for now.

ginerel, to RedditMigration in 3rd party app for Reddit, Boost, is still functioning well after July 1st

I was a RedReader user for quite a while (as in years). While being a bit spartan, I found it to be the best Reddit app for my preferences. Period.

But indeed, nowadays, there is actual (great) content on Lemmy and Kbin, and I am willing to get to it. Not much time left for Reddit. Sorry, spez, fuck you!
