Been living here in Bogotá all my life and in all my years of commuting (walking, bus and now almost exclusively cycling) and have never seen one of them.

Though I wish there were more of them. Traffic here (in general terms) is a complete nightmare but it is too civic culture.

From the article:

‘“The people who designed it understood that in a 7-million-person city like Bogotá, a very small percentage would actually see the mime artists,” says Felipe Cala Buendía, the author of Cultural Producers and Social Change in Latin America. However, Mockus believed in the power of word of mouth.’

> mimes … word of mouth

Nice.

This happened 20 years ago, Bogotá was chaotic at that time, no cars stopped at traffic lights

Really wish I had a time machine to go back to that board room decision and witness the moment when desperation led someone to shout "Let's use mimes!"

Thank you for letting us know, got a bunch of those in the last two hours, like one each five minutes, but it seems they've stopped (at least for now).

Been using it for like two years now. It's great. No need for anything else.

I hope there can be ways to circumvent this limitation and make it usable on non-systemd installs, i.e. with elogind (systemd's "logind extracted out to be a standalone daemon") https://github.com/elogind/elogind

There’s nothing to circumvent. Just continue to use you current login manager like you’ve been doing for years already.

This only affects a new login manager. Not existing ones.

Knowing there are Apple fanboys around HN (I got downvoted for saying the liquid glass thing and the iphone air were pointless) I fear they will take your comment seriously

leoh · 2026-02-02T04:56:49 1770008209

I am serious though

Enlightenment. No, really.

If they ever move away from GTK (due to the GNOME shenanigans GNOME-izing GTK) I wish Englightenment and Xfce were together a single thing. But that's if I could ask the Tux genie three wishes.

GTK4 is still pretty usable without libadwaita and all its Gnome-isms.

But frankly I think forking and maintaining GTK3 is preferable to moving to EFL or Qt. GIMP is still on GTK3. MATE is still on GTK3. Inkscape is still on GTK3 (but GTK4 work is in progress). Evolution is still on GTK3.

I think GTK3 will be around for a long time.

+1...

mghackerlady · 2026-01-27T16:40:55 1769532055

Hell I wish EFL was more used in general. I was thinking QT (mainly because I forgot about EFL) but that's much better

Cries in KDE3 -> KDE4

I don't follow. That seems to be heavy on bloat. Or maybe I'm just happy with vis (https://github.com/martanne/vis). I don't know.
