Given how the Android app became absolute crap in performance, stability, and respect for system-wide accessibility settings after the switch from the native codebase to the React Native codebase, I am not holding my breath when it comes to what will allegedly be rolled out in the near future.

I'm not sure what you mean. Rule 1 states I can only add context or description to the article title, and I used the convention I've seen on other articles posted here of putting the added parts in brackets. If I did not put Wisconsin and Governor in their spots, the title would be missing all context as to what was happening for readers outside of Wisconsin.

Heck yeah, such a unique design! I've got a widescreen one in my collection, but without the speakers, sadly.

The scale looks correct for me. Do you have a custom dark mode extension enabled?

My first smartphone ran KitKat. I'm surprised there was still any level of support for KitKat for that long :O

Most important part is the one at the bottom of the first page:

Amtrak is accelerating the restoration of fleet in need of repair. Over a dozen Long Distance cars have re-entered service with a total of 63 projected to be restored by the end of 2024.

Hopefully that means one-coach trains won't happen anymore. That was really painful on the Capitol Limited this summer.

My first server box was a laptop that was ten years old at the time.

Given the controversies surrounding the lemmy.ml instance as a whole, it might be best to keep this community open.

The most powerful factor in housing prices is the ratio of supply to demand. While the trends of corporate landlords getting larger and diminished proportion of new non-rental housing are concerning, building more housing of any type helps resist across-the-board price increases. Madison over the past few years is unfortunately a great example of what happens to the cost of housing when there isn't enough supply.

Glad to see the movement on this across the states over the past few years!

That website has a sketchy cookie policy.

I think it would be a good idea! There could be a thread with links to a bunch of Milwaukee area resources like that.

I was not able to attend the meeting, but a friend was able to go. We are in support of Option 4.

A nice surprise! I'll have to test this with a Windows 95 laptop in a bit.

I've noticed a significant delay in pothole filling a few months ago where everything I reported was taking several weeks at minimum to get filled instead of a few days like normal, but I haven't had any sitting open for multiple months -- maybe sending a complaint email to the relevant alderperson (or even just a "I'd like to inquire on the state of this pothole that I reported way too long ago") could speed things up, since an alder putting some heat on DPW probably has far more weight than us doing so directly? I'm planning on doing something similar regarding the deterioration of the trail between 6th and 37th since only a little bit gets done every time I submit a ticket about the numerous cracks, divots, and bumps in that section. :S

I've been using my bicycle as my main form of transportation since late 2019, when I had just recently moved into a tiny dorm room and had independence for the first time. I was put off of learning the bus system at the time because uncertainty about employment made me hesitant about even a $2 fare and the routes I would need to take before the 2021 systen redesign were significantly slower than biking. That, along with not really knowing many people at the time (for carpooling), meant I pretty much had to bike everywhere, putting up to 30 miles a day on the bicycle depending on what I was doing. Thankfully, I already had the leg strength from years of purely recreational biking.

Since then, I usually only pick the bicycle for trips of up to about six miles in length (per direction), plus or minus a couple miles depending on how suitable of a route I have for biking. The majority of my trips fall within that range. Anything longer than that or any trip where I need to bring a ton of stuff with me and I'll take a bus, train, or carpool to my destination. The end result is that I went from thinking "I'll get a car once I get situated" to "I don't need to get a car for the forseeable future".

If one of the I-794 freeway removal options gets picked and the Hoan Bridge loses its interstate status, that might be the best time to lobby for bike lanes on it. I would love to be able to bike on it.
