My Lemmy instance actually can't fetch YouTube thumbnail, so I actually have to put it manually lol.

See http://www.get-youtube-thumbnail.com/

Also, this is a good tip in general:

You can't fetch title and thumbnail for YouTube links that starts with youtu.be. This applies not only in Lemmy, but other websites too, for example Twitter (even before Elon's era).

This is, IMO due to the link doesn't really contain HTML and OpenGraph metadata. It only redirects you. If you try cURL-ing the youtu.be link, you will see that it doesn't have a response body, only some header including Location header that will tell you where to redirect. The response code itself is 301.

I'm noticing that YouTube video's thumbnail and title can't be fetched somehow. In theory this should work, right? See the post and my comment below:

Is it true that you actually have to add a parking space as a building owner in US? lol

Yeah, EV batteries and very narrow tunnel (so narrow you can't open the car door apparently) is a bad combination

Ahh found one. Adding it to the list.

Yeah, should have rephrased that. AFAIK Elon is a South African, not even US citizen right?

I'm not even from USA to be clear, but my limited image of USA is that it lacks efforts of building public transport, especially compared to other developed countries. Heck, compared to developing countries even.

One of the example, US seems like a perfect place to build a high-speed rail network. Yet, CAHSR seems to keep getting delayed. In comparison Morocco has a HSR. Even Indonesia has one opened last year.

I use solarpunk and disappointed that it happened to you. I felt like solarpunk was the best instance Lemmy has, it feels like it has the least amount of echo chamber. Maybe I'm wrong.

I moderate my own community in solarpunk and I will try my best to not be like the moderator you talk about

Just found a really good video covering the example of what’s stopping USA to build transit projects (specifically in LA). He invited an expert suited for this topic and the points are coherent.

  • US has been building highways too much, they forgot how to build proper transit
  • Environmental issues being weaponized against building transits (while highways keeps getting built)
  • Similarly “citizen voice” has also been weaponized, for example Ticket Master CEO try to stop subway project so that it doesn’t tunnel below his Bel Air neighborhood even though the tunnel dug very deep below surface that it won’t affect on top

Highly recommend watching this video.
