It's definitely weird to ride -- I would ride it on a commute of more than a few miles. It's less stable than a real bike, but not completely unstable. e.g. I can fall of curbs but can't jump up them.
Most body parts are specialty, not the brakes system, I believe.
It meets its design goals very well:
- Internal brake cables and quick release mean it folds very fast and doesn't get tangled up.
- It can be rolled around when folded so you don't have to lug it.
- It stands tall and thin so only takes the space of a small standing passenger on transit.
That's not what stability is. A stable bike is one in which the steering is stable and easily controlled at various speeds. It's a function of steering geometry and mechanical trail. And the Strida is among the very most unstable folders on the market.
Answer honestly. Would you ride the Strida downhill at a 30 degree incline with a serious curve at the bottom without using the brakes, like you would a mountain bike? How about at over 15 miles an hour [like a racing bike]? A good folder should be able to do both easily.
They didn't mention my favorite part, the name. "Prolefeed" I've been waiting for someone to pick up the word so people would get more self-conscious about consuming it.
[Buzzkill] for android lets you completely control if you get specific notifications at all or with sound etc. I bunch up noisy text threads in once-a-day chunks, silence all notifications not about/from nuclear family from sleep to wake, etc.
It really made me appreciate that, when I have to have my phone, notifications are like an extra obnoxious form of e-mail with all of its problems. [Buzzkill] gives me the phone equivalent of Inbox Zero.
The filtering looks fairly powerful, but I wonder if I could have it hide notifications from apps that I haven't interacted with in 24 hours. I would do that for ALL of the delivery and transportation apps.
(iOS users, when you force quit an app, I believe that prevents it from initiating push notifications until you reopen it. Or it used to, I haven’t tested recently and perhaps it doesn’t stop modern ads? Data needed.)
This is the first time it occurred to me Xubuntu and Kubuntu might be somehow unofficial. I'm not plugged into the Ubuntu community, so figured the flavors were offered by Canonical.
Why is the server version so supposedly demanding if you can install it without X/Wayland? Or can't you?
This is a reach, but do you know where to find the essay I read about someone explaining to King David that a whale isn't a fish and the King laughs at him because his modern mammal explanations are useless and impractical compared to the ones he uses?
