I’d say organize/lobby for better transportation alternatives
We don't have this things here
claim it’ll be?
I'm not very interested in it, so I don't know much, and I don't like to talk about things related to Saudi Arabia. I just talk about what I've experienced in my daily life.
If I was from a rural village I don't think I would have the problems I mentioned, because it would be small and easy to move around.
The problem is I'm from Jeddah, a big city. To put it in perspective, it's 7 times bigger than Vancouver, and has 7 times the population (source: Wikipedia). It's the second largest city in Saudi Arabia. So here's the problem.
Frustrated with Driving and the Lack of Public Transportation
Hey everyone,
I'm just here to vent a bit, even though I know words won't change anything.
I'm from Saudi Arabia, where public transportation is almost nonexistent in most cities, including mine. I think Riyadh has some options, but overall, it's just not popular. So, like many others, I have to drive every day and fill up the gas tank weekly, if not more often. I absolutely hate wasting time driving.
When I say there's no public transportation, I mean it, no buses, no metro, nothing. There's a railway, but it only connects a few cities, not all.
Sure, Uber or taxis are available, but let's be honest, who can afford that for an entire month? Owning a car is much cheaper in the long run, especially for running errands for the family.
Driving stresses me out, especially at night with the bright headlights and fast speeds (most roads are 100 km/h, or about 62 mph). My daily commute to university takes an hour, and the traffic is terrible. I have to stay fully alert the whole time to avoid accidents, so by the time I arrive, I'm already exhausted, and of course there's no time to rest because classes start right away. I lose two hours every day just driving, time that I could be using to read, chat with friends, or even watch a movie if I were on public transportation.
I don't really have a solution to this problem, but does anyone else? It's becoming unbearable. Just to add, I don't have any close friends to carpool with. I once thought about sharing the driving with someone, but most of us have other commitments before and after college. In my case, I also have to drop my siblings off at school and pick them up later.
I wouldn't be surprised if I knew that the backdoors that appear in Windows were designed by someone. I didn't know they were this brazen.

You own your data, you can self-host your own Lemmy instance and still connect to other Lemmy instances (Like what I do)
Also you can share whatever you want, no one tells you "If you say that again I'll ban you from the entire network". And of course, there are no ads or algorithms showing you what their owners want you to see. It's freedom.
As I can see on lemmyverse.net/communities, no there is not. You can make one if you know how to manage it, I like the idea
Thanks Sami, it was a cache issue, I've updated the post with more details
I loved that they were sitting next to each other. Yes, and there is a lot of cats in the street, but the problem is my mom doesn't like them

I tried putting all the css files, but nothing works. Should I put them together in one file? Or is each file a single theme?
I set the LEMMY_UI_EXTRA_THEMES_FOLDER environment variable to /app/extra_themes then volume my extra_theme to it, which is
# ...
volumes:

Is this right?
How to use extra_theme folder?
New Lemmy admin here. I found the [Theming Guide] in the Lemmy docs, but it jumps directly to the 'After a theme is added' section without explaining how to add or create themes. I've searched for examples but couldn't find any configuration that includes these details.
I found [hanubeki-lemmy-themes], which actually contains some good themes. However, when I copied the 5 folder to my extra_theme folder, nothing happened. Can someone guide me on how to add these themes to my instance?
Update:
You should put all your css file in the extra_themes folder, each .css is a theme. For [hanubeki-lemmy-themes] I put all the dist and src files in extra_themes and it works. I already done this before, but my browser was [caching lemmy-ui static files for 24 hours], so when I delete the cache it just works.
