So you have some free energy to volunteer for public works. Why be a road luser. Roads and cars are polluting, ugly systems, and don't take voluntary input like other more elegent systems.
Much better to work on volunteer run railways. These provide a truly egalitarian transport system. You can paint and install signs to your heart's content. I've painted signs for one of these railways - I never knew painting signs for a transport system was such a renegade thing to do. If you want you can learn to drive a locomotive. Become a gaurd. Get your coding hands dirty with the information and signalling systems. Get your real hands dirty building and repairing stock.
And, yes, these railways are in some cases becoming large enough to provide socially useful transport.
They were small because they were efficient, and much of the functions were in the OS like all the e-mails being seperate files in a folder. Same for physical size on screen; anyhow you could have seperate workspaces at different resolutions
I can easily imagine someone walking into a lamp-post because their vision is blocked by a "blue screen of death"... talk about adding insult to injury
