I jumped off Reddit’s cliff and landed here just like many other Lemmings.

Yet the most popular new cars sold are V8s that weigh 2.5 tonnes and are the size and shape of a brick shithouse. In this country, you can’t even buy a small, economical hatchback new anymore, even if you had the money.
Fuel costs in the 1970s were never anymore than 40¢/Litre, yet that was the “fuel crisis” and the driving force behind econo-boxes. Now at $2.20/Litre, Ford of Australia only sell two whopping big utes, a van, and three ugly SUVs.
My car is old enough to have kids my age, but at least I’ll never have to take it to a mechanic. No computers means I can do everything from valve timing to gearbox rebuilds myself, and parts are dirt cheap because they’re being thrown out all the time.
Of course, I’m on Linux, so I actually can do that
On an unrelated note, meet my daily driver!
(Complete with sounds, boot screen and login screen.)
Remember, people complained Windows XP was a Fisher-Price OS. I don’t think this redesign will affect Reddit long-term, unfortunately.
But there’s nothing else out there! It’s a complete void!
You can either bring in a 25 year old one, or rebody a local Chevy SS or Pontiac G8 with a ute shell.
Can you get away with MirrorLink? Truthfully I’ve never tried it, and I’m pretty sure it’s dead if not dying, but it was always going to be my fallback if I found a way to leave Google (or potentially Android entirely).
Especially when they’re in one of those God-ugly American Pickup Trucks with headlights that are right at eye level for anyone in a normal car. Even being followed by a forty year old Mack semi isn’t nearly as bad, because they’ve at least got sealed beam headlights.
I like it, but it’s got the same problem as Thunder. I can’t sort by top!
I’m actually quite pleased with what I’ve ended up with now. One of the features of the Postfix / Dovecot server I’m running now is that I have recipient delimiters - for example, if my email is hiding@aussie.zone, I can sign up for Mastodon with hiding+mastodon@aussie.zone, and everything they send me will be automatically filed into the Mastodon folder in my account. Additionally, I know exactly who is selling my data this way. It’s a great system and avoids the unfortunate predicament you currently find yourself in!
They did kill it for me. I was grandfathered into the G Suite software because I signed up back when it was free. Last year they turned around and said “we know we told you that, as an early adopter, you could have this forever; but now we’re kicking you out unless you start paying.”
And then they killed IMAP access (without oauth) moments later. Fortunately I was fast enough to set up my own mail server and copy my family’s emails, photos, documents, etc. out of Google. I haven’t trusted them since.
+1 for Xournalpp. I use it every day for tablet PC notes.
I can guarantee the original caps aren’t airtight either. That’s not what they’re designed for. The valve is designed to be airtight. The cap only stops dust building up.
Also, a moderator is a volunteer - not a politician on six figures a year, or a mega business owner on seven. A volunteer is perfectly in their rights to pause volunteering when they feel their work is not appreciated.
As a full time colemak user, QWERTY really does my head in these days. I regress to a one-finger typist every time!
And Visio and OneNote aren’t free. Draw.io and Xournalpp would be potential alternatives.
Curiously, I can’t see lemmy.ml content in my Jerboa feed, but it’s working in the browser.
