Just filled it out in case you still need answers. Small note, your education answers don't include "none". While uncommon, some people never finished school and there is no option for that.

No need for an opinion tag if you're spitting straight facts

Zen browser at the moment, it includes a lot of UI and UX tweaks that I was already trying to do via CSS and extensions in Firefox, but it does them a lot cleaner. Definitely an opinionated appearance though, won't be for everyone but so far I am enjoying it. My only gripe has been that I can't disable workspaces and keeping them active seems to keep a hidden tab open all the time, so closing a window always asks me to confirm "closing 2 tabs" even though I have 1 or none open.

I previously was using Librewolf to disable Mozilla's tracking, but after it wiped my browsing history and made some weird user agent change which broke almost every website I have given up on it. The extra bit of privacy wasn't worth the headache, and the TOR-like defaults exemplify that it's a more hardcore browser than I need. As far as I can Zen browser is about the same as vanilla Firefox for privacy issues, so not perfect but not as bad as Chrome.

I refuse to use anything Chromium anymore, but I tried out a bunch of those as well some years ago. Vivaldi was my favourite for it's features, but man whatever they did to tweak the UI resulted in a lot of bugs... I had weekly crashes on that browser over two different hardware setups.

I'm glad to have e-transfers for these transactions in Canada.

I disable avatar display on all my clients. Reddit and it's siblings like Lemmy have historically been less person-focused than other websites, and many of us like to keep it that way. While it can be neat to recognise people, I only need their user handle to do so and I only check if necessary. It's nice to take a comment at it's value without regard for who said it. Reddit's push towards personifying their users is part of why I left.

Yeah, as I say, on the payroll of the nearest megacorp. Haha jk... unless?

Soulseek is a simple peer-to-peer sharing network. You can share directories and see other users shared directories when they are online. It can be a bit flaky but is a useful tool.

yt-dlp downloads from youtube will be in youtube quality, so ~128kbps VBR opus most of the time. Sometimes ~256kbps VBR if you have Premium. I still find it handy for hard to find recordings and new albums etc that have not been shared in flac yet.

Having seen the tonal shift in the gameplay preview I'd actually expect better writing, or at least more bearable writing. Gameplay looked more fine tuned but mostly the same as 3.

Indeed. Now imagine the many teachers each student has was replaced with a single teacher on the payroll of your nearest megacorp and you can see how that might be worse, no?

This question's on my mind because my coworker today mentioned they would vote for Trump if they could (mind you this is 2023, in Canada). I don't generally have the talking points or the desire to fight about it, so I just deflected the conversation. But I often wish I was more strong-willed and could try to figure out why someone believes what they do and, if it's invalid, then convince them otherwise.

Thus, I'm curious what you all would say or what you've done in the past!

According to the uploader:

Byron, Georgia — On Friday July 15, 2022 Byron Police officers were given a look out on a SUV driving reckless on GA Hwy 42 coming into town. The caller said the vehicle was driving into the other lane almost hitting oncoming traffic. When the vehicle got to the intersection of Hwy 42 and Hwy 49 witnesses blocked the vehicle in. Byron Police officers arrived on scene and attempts were made to talk to the driver and she was uncooperative and would not talk to officers or respond to commands. Officers placed Stop Sticks under her tires to deflate the tires if she drove off. After several minutes the driver backed into a car stopped behind her and then pulled forward hitting a Byron Police officer and a Byron Police car.

The driver then backed up again and pulled forward hitting two witnesses and another Byron Police car and drove going north on Hwy 49 with one flat tire from the Stop Sticks. Officers attempted to block the car and she backed into a third Byron Police Car then drove forward hitting a Byron Police car for the second time causing serious damage to the car. The suspect continued on Hwy 49 for a short distance where Byron Officers were able to block her in and take her into custody. The driver was identified as 24-year-old Sierra Hibbert of Warner Robins, GA. She also had a small child with her that was not hurt in the incident. No officers or citizens were injured seriously in the incident. The Peach County Sheriffs assisted during the incident and is handling the investigation and criminal charges against Hibbert.

 

I have wanted to go on a road trip for a while, just driving off to nearby towns in my hatchback and exploring. I'd start small, like a day or three. The main thing holding me back is uncertainty of what to bring and how to do it, amongst other issues. I think I can figure out the food and sleep, but I was wondering:

  • Where to access showers?
  • Where to refill water?
  • Is it worth bringing a tent (could I set it up outside of a campsite)?
  • Where can I park when I need to sleep (that I won't get in trouble for)?
  • Am I missing anything else?

Was hoping some of you might have advice. I don't have a whole lot of good people to go to about this IRL.

Edit: Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to respond!

If you don't want to see car chase videos or cop videos, let me know in the comments. Or downvote. Whichever way so that I know whether people want to see this.

Apparently the guy made it (source). At least to the hospital, anyway.
