Society if people read the article:
1000000110

I read the title. Had some thoughts and opinions. After reading the article, the thoughts and opinions remain the same.

The article lists prices for next level api requests but it's 5000 dollars compared to the 100 that the non profit is already paying. They encouraged users to download their app to receive potentially life saving alerts.

I summed up the article in three sentences.

I'm not defending X or anything, I'm just asking people to read the damn article before going in with the obligatory "Why not Mastodon?" If they had read the article, they would've known that the project has a Mastodon account already and we wouldn't have been wasting our time.

Fair. The common user uses the easiest, most accessible programs and applications. At this time, lemmy or mastodon is not common.

Make a fancy colorful app with big buttons and fun pictures and people will flock here. From what I see, the common user base here is advanced level tech people.

That's ugly and scary, use this instead

That looks like it supports a few dozen people, maybe?

bugs. bugs everywhere. damage from roots. watering nightmare.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think any more bugs than an average suburban neighborhood. If you look closely, it's a lot less dense than it appears, although even people who live in rural areas don't have some super insect problem. Damage from roots can be mitigated by using the proper construction materials. You don't have to water anything. It's outside.

I grew up in Jamaica. If that image comes with the eradication of mosquitoes, I'd be more open to the idea! Even the sturdiest materials, proper drainage, and regular pruning would eventually see erosion issues and excessive maintenance requirements. But I'm certainly not an engineer that could solve for all the long term concerns.

Slightly better ? still looks like a giant lawn with masturbatory buildings

Aseptic lawns ? glass & metal buildings ? flying cars ? Surefire way of preventing me from reading any future article
