Some good observations and some software suggestions, but I don't think all of them are good. I hate Anubis when I'm using an assisted accessible browser (that it locks out, always saying a solution is coming but it never has, which I'm pretty sure is illegal discrimination in some situations) and they really ought not recommend Proton without mentioning its chief supporting Trump and helping French police track climate activists.

Other tips, including Lemmy, are better.

Has nobody shown the government of Jersey any Strong Towns or City Beautiful videos explaining the damage done by parking minimums?

Is Jersey British? I suspect it's controversial.

On some things, but not everything. Their "Plan A" environmental commitment seems sometimes worth the extra cost, too.

Not sure why this isn't a crosspost.

Yeah, that's not how socialism is used in most of the world. It's to the right of communism, to the left of social democratic, not really encountered the others enough to know where they stand, except anarchism is off on another axis. Communists may see socialism as a step towards them, but socialism doesn't necessarily mean collectives, as other forms of ownership are accepted. Look at the principles of groups like Socialist International.

It's more part of socialism than it is of liberalism! Liberals generally want the least property regulation needed for their system to work, whereas socialists want the means of production to be owned by the workers or users, depending what sort of socialists.

Are you confusing socialism with communism? Communism is more likely to say everything should be common property.

Sadly, but which of course doesn't imply the reverse.

Ugggh, pass the mindbleach for that mental image!

You write like those things are incompatible and liberal socialists don't exist in most other countries.

NYC has lots of foreign residents and visitors, maybe the most of any USA city, so isn't a foreign-born mayor there more than merely 'internal news'? It's not like the mayoral election of Nowhere, North Dakota.
