In 1999 / 2000 I started using Mandrake because I missed the days of using a terminal instead of a GUI. That got me into setting a web and mail server up and running things from home once I had stable internet. I have always had an on and off relationship with Linux and the other *nix. Currently I have a few servers running around the house for various things all running Ubuntu but besides upkeep and making changes I don't touch them much until my ADHD kicks in and I want to learn something new then I burn out for awhile and repeat the cycle. I am probably the outlier here that uses windows daily and Linux secondary these days.
I know they roughly explained why, but it seems pretty insane they jumped the gun without having any of the users input and want people to go to another instance just for that community
Man Mandrake brings back some memories. It was my first linux install solely because they had the fastest shipping time for install cd's and at the time I was on dialup so I couldn't just download anything I wanted. I ran it for several years and ended up on a few different distro's and freebsd for a bit.

I like the idea of more "metrics" being used to help "weight" the search results. E.g. if you're viewed heaps of content from "magazine A", then content should be surfaced more from that magazine.
I think that is the way 'best' works on reddit and it is the way I preferred to use that site. I agree with you that using metrics would be awesome with the added filter 'best'.
It started doing it to me on the Chrome PWA after the last update but I'm not sure if it is a result of the update or the fact that I started turning on screen auto-rotate in android settings at the same time as that update since it STOPS the PWA from rotating the screen when auto-rotate is on. I also can't stay logged in even if I am fast enough to check the stay logged in box while on mobile. As soon as I enter my password it automatically logs me in without me hitting the login button.
I haven't had it happen on desktop Chrome. I am running two scripts on desktop and none on PWA. Desktop is running; Kbin enhancement script and Kbin Usability script.

Search on Lemmy Explorer put your search term in the box that says "Filter Communities" I only mentioned that because it's not intuitive should just say "Search" IMO
I think it's the Youtubers who claim how easy it is and make claims of making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year doing it. Somehow those videos made it into my algorithm on YT. Everyday for several months I get at least one usually 3 or 4 pressure washing / house washing videos recommended. I'm sure many other people are also. Seems like there are 2 bigger companies spamming Youtube with how to get in the soft washing business and that birthed a number of people who vlog on yt about how great the business is.
Edit: It also has a low cost of entry to start a pressure washing or soft washing company. From what I've seen you can start one for under $500 in equipment and have seen videos of guys using their cars to haul around the equipment and chemicals. So anyone who wants to can get into the business. On a side note I doubt many of them are licensed or have liability insurance. The risk of property damage is super high when running a pressure washing or soft washing business.
You use a lower pressure and higher GPM than pressure washing. There are different ways to do it some people use a 12 volt pump with a flow between 5 and 10 GPM along with either a downstream injector or a mixing valve and separate tanks to inject SH (Sodium Hydroxide) and a surfactant (soap) into the wash stream. Other people use gas engine driven pumps the same as a pressure washer but the nozzle at the end of the line takes down the pressure of the water emitted from the pump so you don't damage the house. This is the most non-destructive and really the only safe way to "pressure" wash a house or roof. You can also use it on sidewalks and driveways. The SH kills organic matter and the soap breaks up dirt and grime. It is applied to the house and sits for several minutes then washed off with a stream of water.

I can't directly answer most of your questions but as far as I know they have overcome the self destructing engine issues. That said right now I would stay away from Hyundai's right now due to the auto theft issues they are facing. While a new one will most certainly be safe from the USB stick method of starting it you will still be at risk from idiot would be thief's who will break your window and tear apart the steering column just to find out they can't start the car.
My GF's Hyundai was stolen last week along with 3 others in the neighborhood. The kids that stole it broke into many newer Hyundai's not knowing they couldn't start them. Unfortunately my GF's car was found a few hours later and is being repaired. Now we have to live with the fear that the car will be broken into again and again. The police said they suspect it is kids between 11 and 15 years old so they aren't smart enough to tell what models or years are stealable hence the newer ones being broken into and tore apart. For this reason alone I will probably never buy another Hyundai or Kia. I have been a owner of both in the past and would have continued to own them prior to the thefts.

What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?

Kbin keeps logging me out, while I'm actively using the site - I go to make a comment or something and it doesn't work; logging back in automatically redirects me to the front page.
This is really annoying. Does anyone else have this problem?
Do any of you bother writing abuse emails?

Does anyone know where the male fashion advice community scattered to?
See title. I am missing my fashion news/fit pics & articles.
Have there always been this many pressure washing / window cleaning businesses?
I feel like I see signs everywhere now advertising it. Has this always been the case or just recently now that it’s a popular internet job
