En X, Adolfo Núñex explica con ejemplos reales por qué la prohibición de VMP en transporte público es absurda, desproporcionada y no pone el foco en la seguridad objetiva.
Si no queréis pasar por X, ya os hago yo el spoiler: «Murcia ha prohibido el acceso de los patinetes eléctricos a autobuses y tranvía, porque se incendian y prima la seguridad»; durante un mes se han incendiado cero patinetes eléctricos y nueve coches de combustión (cero coches eléctricos). No es un mes raro. El 99,99 % de los vehículos que salen ardiendo son turismos convencionales. Y a nadie se le ocurre prohibirlos dentro de gasolineras, garajes o túneles.
Los ataques continuos contra la micromovilidad nacen del lobby cochista, que se ha dado cuenta que cada VMP que se vende reduce las ventas de sus sofás con ruedas. Con toda la educación de que soy capaz: que les jodan. Que les jodan fuerte. Están destrozando el futuro y frenando la sostenibilidad.

A Stanford University study in 2017 said Indonesians walk so much less than the world average.
When suburban roads typically look like this and only 610km of Jakarta’s more than 7,000km of roads have sidewalks, nobody should be surprised that nobody wants to walk in the city.
The strong lobby from motor vehicle companies also means that the city is home to 19 million motorcycles and 4 million cars. That’s almost 2 bikes per person in the city.
The city has 44 thousand buses, 4.5 thousand of which are full sized buses for TransJakarta network, and the bulk of the rest are likely the mini 8-10 person capacity buses (angkots) that have no schedule.
You get excited about sending your robotic submarine to the very bottom of Mariana's Trench anxious at the rare wonders you'll encounter, perhaps for the first time, and this is what you see miles below the ocean surface.

This week’s newsletter from Singapore! There’s not going to be a corruption trial involving a former Cabinet minister after all, and wow, the East-West Line has really gone doooowwwwnnnn…
Denise Prudhomme's bosses at Wells Fargo insisted that the in-person camaraderie of their offices warranted a mandatory return-to-office policy, but when she died at her desk in her Tempe, AZ office, no one noticed for four days.

A man walked into the ladies department. He shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife."
"What type of bra? asked the clerk.
"Type?" inquired the man "There is more than one type?".
"Look Around," said the sales lady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size color and material. "Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only three types of bras, replied the sales clerk.
Confused, the man asked, "Only three? What are they?"
The saleslady replied "The Catholic type, the Salvation Army type, and the Baptist type. Which one do you need?"
Still confused the man asked, "What is the difference between them?"
The lady said, "It is quite simple. The Catholic type supports the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts up the fallen, and the Baptist type makes mountains out of mole hills."

(Ambos ésos, unos discazos.)
A: One to do the reading, one to do the writing, and the other keeps
an eye on the two intellectuals.
Compact camera now: Let's release two versions with 2 different focal length.
Ricoh: GR III and GR IIIx
Leica: hold my beer. Q3 and Q3 43.
You can get the two Ricoh for less than a single Leica.
(at least the Leica has a viewfinder)
@paperdigits I have 3 cameras that don't have a viewfinder. And none of them convinced me. The third one actually I bought it knowingly I didn't like that, to do video (and the screen flips out).
(not mentioning phones)
Librsvg 2.59.1 is out! This is a stable release, with two mitigations for bugs found through oss-fuzz.
Librsvg now tries to catch shapes with coordinates that would overflow Cairo's computations, and avoids rendering them.

I'll backport this and release 2.58.5 too.
Librsvg 2.58.5 is out. A backport of two mitigations for bugs found through fuzz testing.
