Tools for collecting traffic data on my street? in c/fuck_cars@lemmy.ml
[–] Chastity2323@midwest.social 18 points 6 months ago (8 children)

you know what else slows down ambulances? Congestion

I live near a school. Cars go way too fast and blast through intersections. Impeding the flow of car traffic is exactly what we need. I'd rather not require the ambulance in the first place.

Tools for collecting traffic data on my street? (midwest.social)
 

I'm working with my neighbors to petition the city to add traffic calming measures (e.g. speed bumps, one way roads) to my street. I'm also hoping to turn it into a bit of a research project. Does anyone know of any tools to monitor or even automate data collection of the speeds of cars, number of cars going by, how many actually stop at intersections/stop signs, etc? If we're successful with the petition, I think it would be nice to be able to present some data from before and after the traffic calming measures are put in place. Thank you in advance!

Stop spreading FUD please.

For some reason people love to shit on Brave and turn a blind eye to mistakes made by Mozilla or problems with Firefox. Brave has had missteps in the past, as many projects have. This doesn't make it "malware."

It's ok not to use it for ideological reasons - I don't like their CEO either. But that doesn't mean Brave is not a privacy browser or not a good browser.

Pro/Con of DeGoogled Phone Operating Systems in c/privacyguides@lemmy.one

/e/ is not degoogled and security does not seem to be a priority for them. I wouldn't recommend it. See the following comments from a divestos dev:

I'll also add that while Fairphone markets that they suoport their phones for many years, the firmware of the Qualcomm SoC it ships with stops receiving updates after only a couple years. Your phone will not be secure after this point. Read more here:

What should I know before buying electrical appliances? A vacuum in particular? in c/buyitforlife@slrpnk.net

Miele vacuums are incredible. I have one that's over 20 years old and still going strong. They're still making accessories that fit it too!
