I drive a lot in the UK for work. I see it occasionally when younger and/or angry drivers get frustrated with overtaking lane hoggers. Sometimes I also see people do it very slowly and overtly for that same reason.
Generally, I don’t think people want to do it and are aware of the dangers. But it’s easy to do it without being caught, unless it goes wrong of course.
Smart car 2 seater. Drove it for work for about 6 months. You’re a target for bullies, the wind is scary, lorries sometimes can’t see you and they can get to 90, which is interesting.
I can live with all that, I’ve driven vans and lorries that were in much worse condition. I had a Morris van that was so crap it’s engine seized trying to do 50.
No, the Smart car was the worst car mainly because I’m 6 6. It was like being a sardine driving it’s can. I could do it, but it was not a pleasant experience.
That’s fair, and tbh the Toyota is great to drive. It’s a bit sluggish overtaking but from stopped it’s like firing a gun and it’s got a great chassis. The electric motor gives it the kick and actually does sound really cool.
It’s the petrol revving that drives me nuts, up and down all the time. I use cruise control a lot but it still does it. On a long drive it gets annoying. I listen to audio books which helps but I can’t take much more, I’m starting to think of ways to kill it.
I’ve got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them....
I use a OnePlus 12R. It has an IR blaster and a side slider.
The screen is fantastic, the camera is decent, the speakers are fine for a phone.
The OS is fine, there’s almost no bloat and I never log in to the OEM account on any phone. The proprietary bits I use are the photo gallery and the side bar, both of which tell you what they do and don’t do in terms of privacy. Neither admit to tracking but I’m ok with that.
I’m not a privacy fanatic and I think using any device and/or service these days is going to open you at least partly to some kind of visibility.
Aside from that, I like ColorOS. It’s not miles from stock and the options for tinkering are generally useful for getting a phone to work the way you like, without being a Samsung shit show.
The 12R is smooth and powerful. If you can still get them from the OnePlus website with the free Buds 2 Pro, worth £170, for me it’s a no brainer. I was also able to use PayPal credit of 4 months at 0% interest, around £200 pm.
The availability and custom ROM support sealed the deal for me but you may find it worthwhile even without some of the points I made.
Rumours yes, but do we want it need Isak, especially at that sort of money?
Rodrygo would be a surprise but I’m not up on his details. If his development has stalled then maybe? I’d expect the fee to be more than realistic though.
Personally subscribed to 126, and it’s steadily growing by 2-4 each week. But curious to how many you are subscribed to too. Feel free to share your favorite community too!...
Including this one, my instance community and my app community, 30. A few are very quiet and some are different instance versions eg, cats world and cats ml
I sort by subscribed and try to interact as much as possible which keeps me busy enough that I no longer use Reddit. So it’s all good.
I still rate Snow Crash as one of the most enjoyable reads.
Whatever you may think of it, it’s a non stop ride. I even enjoyed the audiobook fairly recently which has got to be getting on for 20 years since the book.
Of all movies that you gotta watch more than once to really understand, what is your favorite and why?

You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

Looking for suggestions on a phone that will last

Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.
Bonus points for any books you believe are classics from that time period. Any language, but only fiction please....

Hi I was looking though defend.xyz at eviltoast, notices they had few defeds but Lemmy.ml, feddit.de and UK are in the small list, just wondering why?
What is the most beautiful song you've ever heard?
