I can appreciate that premium gas is only $.30/gal more, where by me it’s $1.10/gal more 😡😤

Oh nice, I guess I didn’t notice. I’ll check that out, it may have switched automatically with an update.

Can a drone strike take out the sons? Please?

Why would anyone care about Gemini or other AI here? I mean, i get this is the tech Space, but AI=bad.

I do like vertical tabs too… But Firefox has a plugin for that so I’ve been using Firefox the last year or so and rarely have an issue.

Nice, I’ll check it out anyway

I mean, Yunohost (why you no host) pretty much covers all of the above.

I put up Traccar, Zoraxy, Immich, and 1 other in a few days being completely new to all these apps.

I haven’t run 16GB RAM SINCE MY 2012 Win8/Ubuntu PC. 3rd gen i7 w DDR3 1600MHz lol.

Now on 64GB 5600MHz and 12th gen i9. No upgrades any time soon.

Indiana and Illinois look the same as this as you continue west of Ohio

I would love to see some hybrid cars that run gas get converted to propane (like the rental trucks at Lowe’s) so you’re now even cleaner and less dependent on fossil fuels (though still reliant on natural gas).

I would imagine running a Chevy Volt-like vehicle where the gas engine functioned more like a generator, running propane, would get pretty far on a small LPG cylinder!

Lithium hadn’t really had catastrophic failures itself, I’m speaking more fake from car accidents. Tesla’s awfully inaccurate autopilot or self driving or whatever, and when those cells are damaged, they’re dangerous.

Ice engines are mostly explosive in movies lol. I think Mythbusters or some from the show shot at gas tanks that were full and partially filled hoping to ignite.

I agree on all the energy stuff, were stuck with corporate interests ruining the environment so they can have even more profit!

Data centers are absolutely consuming a bunch of power and we’re paying for it, I agree!! California suffered brown outs from everyone charging during there day at work or at night. Idk of that’s been corrected, but that’s also why Trump relaxed coal and oil regulations so we could get enough power-though I hear some data centers are using jet engine turbines to supplement them smh.

So while batteries can be affordable, lithium is too dangerous, and the technology hasn’t quite got to the point for widespread adoption, my opinion. Solid state and sodium ion are better technologies just around the corner that offer loner range, faster charging, and safer in accidents.

The grid… Cannot sustain in the US.

Haha, as I wake up and wipe the sleep crust from my eyes, I thought I was still dreaming (as in asleep). But your comment makes sense! Time to be skeptical all day!

None I’m aware of. I’ve uninstalled pretty much every Google app, signed out of gmail acct and am mostly using F-Droid apps since I don’t need any “app store” apps. I kept my banking app, but apparently so far doesn’t need Google’s services bc it still works just fine. My battery, since making that switch, lasts a bit longer without all that stuff running.

But FYI, I don’t have any social media, and I only use WiFi unless I’m on the road. I don’t BT to my car but rarely, and I don’t need location services. So 1 day+life is easily achievable!

Hello from Android 12 lol. My 4yo phone runs just fine!

How is this not a violation of GDPR?! “Homeland Security” doesn’t need the data, this is thousands of people for under 5 possible threats at most… this is fucking stupid! The game of bribery and backdoor deals of monetizing data keeps spreading, huh?

Wonder if it’s anything like the US where the average funeral is about $15k… Idk about cemetery plots but can’t be cheap either. It’s a joke out here how expensive it’s become just to die.

Haha, damn swipe text!

I have the opposite. I grew up with my parents guilt tripping me “starving* kids in Africa” stuff, and so my wife is one who rarely finishes a meal, snack, or dessert, so I’m “stuck” eating the leftovers haha.

I’ve learned to order less while out, cuz she won’t eat leftovers either (or rarely does) so I get to try hers instead of it going to waste.
