I don’t know how you’d measure driving “goodness”, but I expect the distribution would be something like exponential (there are billions of non-drivers, and only a few rally/stunt drivers). So the average is likely to be higher than the median.

This is hilarious

Firefox was decent 10 years ago.

Yeah, it’s the bloody-mindedness that keeps you going

All the station wagon I ever owned I could comfortable sleep in the back of, with a partner. Hatchbacks are way too short.

I’m a fan of (five door) hatchbacks, but station wagons were fucking cool

Web browsers about 10 years ago

20 year Linux user here. Definitely more depressed than autistic (but not claiming to be 100% NT).

Also I just got given a macbook for a new job. Feels weird.

Any instance that interacts with any other instance is federated. Which is the vast majority of instances with more than a handful of users.

Is the same not true of Lemmy?

Mastodon federation is not opt-in. As soon as anyone on one server is following one person on the other server, the servers are fully federated. From there, it’s opt-out, via blocking.

That’s nonsense. I’m on one of the main servers, and like 90% of my feed is from other servers, and it includes lots of small servers. And that’s been true for years.

It’s try the search function was bad prior to earlier this year, but it’s improved a bit. And if you are looking for someone specific, then presumably their account would be listed somewhere on their website?

Everything you just said is also true of mastodon.

Mastodon is scaling fine though? I’ve been using it for years, and it’s great, and still growing. User base is a bit tech focused, could be more general, but I think it’ll get there eventually.

Good on you. I disagree, for me.

Yeah, I found Rectangle last week. It’s killer, especially on multiple monitors. I hate that macOS doesn’t have a proper maximise function by default. The move-to-half-the-screen shortcuts are great.

You don’t know the context, because OP didn’t provide any details of what was being discussed. It’s entirely possible that it was a valid call in some or all of those situations.

I think there’s an added element of “some aspect of the strawman you’re projecting on to others is actually something you think about yourself”

Yeah… I have one for my desktop Linux machine, but mostly I’m on laptops, and moving around a lot, so not super practical.

No context switching issues at all? If so, any ideas on how that came about?
