Excellent video, as always, by @notjustbikes, this time on the progress being made in Amsterdam on making the city 'autoluw'.
This example needs to be taken seriously by the rest of the world's big cities. It creates much better, liveable, cities for everyone.

"I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I'm willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer.
Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.
Or just walk away.
AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.
It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today.
There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will actually look like in the end), but "is it useful" is no longer one of those questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn't actually used it.
Yes, it can also be a somewhat painful tool, both for maintainer workloads and just from a "it keeps finding embarrassing bugs" standpoint.
But the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing "La La La, I can't hear you" at the top of your voice like some people seem to do.
The solution is to make sure those LLM tools _help_ maintainers instead of just causing them pain. There's no question on that side.
We're not forcing anybody to use it, but I will very loudly ignore people who try to argue against other people from using it.
And no, AI isn't perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time.
Because it's not like natural intelligence is always all that great either.
The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology.
Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that's a side benefit, not the _point_ of the project.
This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.
In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons.
And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools."

In October 2019, te same month I started Not Just Bikes on YouTube, Amsterdam published the document "Agenda Amsterdam Autoluw", a plan to make the city (nearly) car-free.
So, seven years later, what did they actually accomplish? Did they do what they said they would do?

"The chemical, called 6PPD-Q, is formed when fine tire particles meet ozone. That happens anytime new chunks of tire are exposed to the air, meaning the particle may be nearly ubiquitous in car-heavy environments."

A lot of people are moving away from Big Tech. Many more would like to do so, but they do not know that it is really easy to do so and that there are good options.
You do, given that you are here. Maybe time to help your friends?
Some good options, that I use myself :
OS : Linux.
Browser : Vivaldi.
Mail client : Vivaldi.
Calendar client : Vivaldi.
Mail Service : Proton, FastMail.
Social : Mastodon & Fediverse in general.
Office package : Libre Office.
Video conference : Whereby.
Feel free to suggest more options and share with your friends!

I actually `rm -rf .bun` a few days ago after Bun was rewritten in Rust. Not because I hate Rust, I actually love many Rust-based apps such as Alacritty and bat, but because if they had so much tokens credit to spend, the smarter move would have been to use AI to hunt for and fix issues in their current Zig codebase instead of rewriting the whole thing in Rust.
