My primary mode of transportation is a bike and IMO not all e-bikes are real bikes.

Pedal-assist sure but if there is a throttle (and pedaling is optional) then I consider it a moped.

Not that I’m opposed to mopeds…

One minute they’re all like “if I die it’s definitely not suicide” and the next they are changing their mind and going through with it…

Fuck that, I’m happy with my 32-hr workweek. Wouldn’t even want to do 40 again…

Bean counting?

That’s what I was thinking, my private keys are also chilling in plaintext on my filesystem.

The only thing that could get me to switch back to windows would be an animatronic Clippy with LLM hallucinations dialed up to 11.

They are succeeding!

I’ve used Linux for years, certainly for all servers, but preferred the Windows desktop environment until last year.

So many shitty, slow updates. Hassle me to give MS my data or switch to Edge half the times I boot up…

I have fully embraced Gnome Shell and love my Debian setup. Feels great to be in control again!

Also, baseline CPU load is way lower and it’s much more rare to have my fans throttle up.

Wow, wasn’t expecting such a feel-good AI story.

I wonder if I could fuck with my ISOs chatbot 🤔

Hmm, so it’s only designed to handle expected scenarios?

That’s not how driving works… at all. 😐

At least they are up front about not having a platform…

Not sure if this is allowed here and I mean no disrespect to anyone’s views. However, I am curious how this transition was experienced by folks here.

In March 2020, it was quite taboo to ignore the guidelines in many places, and laws were strictly enforced. Now, the vast majority have essentially returned to “normal life”. Basically a complete 180 in right around 4 years.

Did you see this outcome coming?

Was there a tipping point?

Did your views evolve over time? Or diverge in specific ways?

As someone in the middle of the spectrum, the trajectory the pandemic took (in terms of how serious people took guidelines) seemed somewhat unsurprising and inevitable. Personally, I picked up a couple of good habits like being stringent with hand washing and never going into the office sick (regardless of illness).

Just interested in other peoples perspective on this if you care to share :)

I recently stumbled upon this articles which nicely illustrates the growing problem.

I wish. More shitty American pickups in the Netherlands each year, further encouraged by a tax loophole.

I hope the gas prices bleed these fuckers dry…

As an American who immigrated to the Netherlands, it’s very relatable.

When you look at how big of a struggle car dominance still is here it’s hard to see NA as anything other than a lost cause.

I find it unfortunate that NJB frames it in such a discouraging way but agree with the sentiment.

It was a bit to bumpy for the computer so we brought that with the metro.

Our washing machine broke last week and the first thought was to buy a replacement but I wanted to at least attempt a repair first.

The machine would still fill and empty water, but the dishes remained dry and there was a burning smell. So, I unplugged it, tipped it over and popped open the bottom cover.

Aside from the controller, the dishwasher was very simple: a drainage pump, a circulation pump, a heating element and some solenoid valves. A multimeter showed the (main suspect) circulation pump still had continuity which narrowed the search down to the pump’s starting capacitor. Seven euros and a few days later and it’s back in action!

The simple fix really gave me a sense of joy and satisfaction. It feels great to extend the use of something that I already have rather than need to consume more.

Can anyone relate? Any good repair stories?

I’m a big fan of the right to repair movement.
