I think the ITU E.123 predates HTML by some years...

No hyphens follow some international standards such as those of the ITU. ITU E.123 recommends: 'only spaces be used to visually separate groups of numbers "unless an agreed upon explicit symbol (e.g. hyphen) is necessary for procedural purposes" in national notation'

To be honest you could be tracked by your WiFi usage too.

...Not to mention that in Germany it's: if you don't denounce the Nazis, you're often seen as one of them. Whenever there's a big movement against the Far Right, all kinds of companies, associations and public figures give out statements in support of the movement. Sometimes it is pure virtue signaling, but quite often it's sincere and doesn't just run with the latest cool thing.

Hey, the fruits of the development are free. They are literally giving it for free, albeit sans hardware or VPS.

Also can be done with Yunohost and Nextcloud. The numerous options regarding installation are a nice and good thing.

The point was that in total you probably spend more time in your car than any sane average European would, because you lack options. And because you lack options it's a hellscape for anyone who can't drive a car. The point wasn't your commute, because your commute probably doesn't represent the median. Also good for you. My commute is also irrelevant, but it's five minutes walk to a train, ten minutes by train and five minutes walk from the train to the office, all that in an environment where I don't fear for my life, the noise level permits me to whisper to other people without them having difficulties hearing me.

Dubai is a car dependent hellhole that exploits ~~guest workers~~ slaves. They've only got metro because it's cool to have some and some people aren't allowed to drive and you sort of have to pretend that you're giving fair options to people who don't drive.

Yep, actually in a city setting there are scenarios where walking has got better throughput rates than car traffic...

Probably part of the problem is where they make you walk, or that nobody actually plans for safe nor comfortable walking anywhere.

Apart from the time when they don't.

Let me take this apart: "Nobody except for a select few hyper-fit nutjobs are ever going to walk even so much as an 1/8th of that images span for anything." What's the span in the image? Maybe a mile? Two? Come on! IF the surroundings aren't noisy and are pleasant a normal average human of the planet earth is capable and willing to walk about 2-5 miles a day. In civilized countries you also have multiple options, it's not just "suffer and walk" or "sit in a car and bang your head on the steering wheel". Just the option to walk to most places where you need to go actually gets rid of some of the traffic that causes congestion. And the highway intersection hellscape depicted only serves the people who have no other option than to drive everywhere. It's a prison. "The area is far too large to want to walk, so we use it for transit instead." No, it's not.
"Forget that it transports millions of people, products, goods, etc." You know there are better ways to do this than building an eversprawling city with highways cutting right through it. Highways are among some of the most inefficient ways of transporting goods and people. They cause noise and pollution. Everyone wants to live as far away from one as is convenient. Not that these human errors aren't to be found everywhere in the world, it's just that it's only in the North America where this is more prominent than elsewhere. "They want it to house hundreds of people instead." You just looked at a picture where you have an area in Italy, similar in size to a highway knot in Texas that houses 30k people and you fail to understand what you just saw. 🤦‍♂️ "People who will then not be able to get those products and goods, because…they fuckin’ ripped the road out!" I can't even... 🤦‍♂️
