Just let me fucking watch a video like the creator intended. I CAN SPEAK MULTIPLE LANGUAGES YOU DUCKING SILICON VALLEY PEANUT.

I'm so done with tech. We all deserve to lose your jobs

Google Maps also stopped showing connections that involve walks longer than 500 meters. It'll just be like "no its impossible to reach the other end of Berlin in half an hour by public transport. You need to change 6 times". Because it refuses to let me cross a bridge to another busstation because US brained people dont believe in legs.

@arianvp I have noticed this as well, although I didn't realise it was because of the walking distance. So many times, I'm just confused on why it's not suggesting a route/connection that I KNOW is better...

@ainmosni @arianvp I'm going to go out on a limb, and please don't confuse this as me defending this bullshit choice of theirs, but it might have something to do with how often walking that far can be impossible in the US. Not because of people's limitations, but because the public infrastructure to do so safely doesn't exist.

Obviously they should have people who know the area audit the routes their system is offering and adjust the defaults to reflect the local infrastructure. And please yell at them so they can fix it for your area. I'm just saying, this is very likely a systemic issue because of how car brained the people who build our infrastructure are, and how unsafe it is to walk in many parts of the US. And I say this as someone who was forced to use the broken infrastructure here for many years when I didn't have a car, where I was often walking along roads without sidewalks because there was no other route available to me or the next bus was an hour away, where my only other alternative was to pay for a fucking Lyft or Uber.
