I bought a Google pixel 4a a while back for 550 Australian dollars after shopping around and price matching. Helped my partner get a Motorola G54 for $250 after price matching and it seems to have all the features that I had on my old phone that I'm pretty happy with. If I have to replace my Pixel someday I'm kinda on the fence whether I should get a Fairphone or to just go for a Motorola like hers.

Touchscreen in cars are so bad for safety. Buttons mean you don't have to take your eyes off the road

I still feel touchscreen controls are such a bad idea in cars. Old stereos have dots and grooves on them so you can operate them without having to take your eyes off the road.

Maybe a system where strange women lying in ponds distributing swords might actually be better

When I started learning Linux years ago when I studied IT I was actually taught UNIX but the first Linux distro I was exposed to was Red Hat back in school around 2000. Fedora was derived from that and for a while I was more familiar with that. However with the popularity of Debian and Ubuntu, it seems most of the instructions out there are geared around that so I'm now pretty much just sticking with Debian.

My traditional oven doesn't. So I gotta be careful not to fall asleep waiting for stuff to cook.

My traditional oven is sort of like that. It's got two portions, one larger part and a smaller griller that's also perfect for pizzas. I still use it to cook bigger portions, like for a party.

The "but smaller" part is what sells it to me. My traditional oven is like ten times the size and I hate the idea of all that adding up on my energy bill just to warm up small meals for myself.

And I can't set a shutoff timer on my traditional oven.

I have a licence but I grew up in a place where many people don't bother with getting a licence. Car ownership is expensive. Learning to drive take a lot of effort and public transport is available from 6 am to midnight and run very frequently. Also taxis and ridesharing is relatively cheap. This is Singapore.

I don't know about you but the sponsored results and all that search optimisation manipulation made me switch to DDG long before AI

I've seen enough dystopian horror thrillers to know this won't go the right way

You'd think the driver would have start hitting the brakes seeing how fast it was going towards the gates

Any good distro that goes well with this? So used to how good the raspberry pi OS has been

To be fair you can have the browser with just features you want and nothing else that other people want that you don't need

Do people live there on a permanent basis though or does it just run a commercial enterprise?

He's great and I think he's crossed with other similar content creators too including Tom Scott (or I could be wrong about that last one)

It's not unique to Lemmy. I've heard it on other platforms first before here

What the hell is a "private city"?

Damn what the fuck was he thinking

Having LLM taking orders seems superfluous when ordering kiosks already exist
