I drive a 2000 bmw z3 dispute it being a bmw it’s been quite bullet proof oil changes are a brease you can replace the rear windshield by unzipping a zipper my only complaint is how it occasionally breaks the laws of physics like how it smashed into a giant boulder and only broke off a single reflector and the airbag indicator light works even when there’s no bulb or any light source of any kind the oil separator somehow got water in it and didn’t effect the rest of the engine in any way ultimately it takes a lot to make something go wrong in this car and when they do fixing it will make you question if we are living in a very laggy simulation I’m honestly surprised I haven’t lagged into the backrooms in this car yet

Just what I’m doing right now. Not much else to do.

I’m using trunks and I find it better than the official app (android)

Jackthelad,

Literally any third-party app is better than the official app.

Honda Fit, base model: Fukken love it. Very practical and decent hauling capacity. I mostly ride my bikes these days but it’s a great car.

ladytaters,

I have a 2019 Fit! It’s perfect because it’s just the right size for me; it feels bigger on the inside but it’s the definition of compact. And I only spend about $80 US on gas monthly, if that!

Audiobooks

Stream tv on my phone. I used to watch Crunchyroll (anime streaming service) on the train.

I recently switched to Eternity and I’m loving it so far. Only been using it a day, but I haven’t run into any issues or anything to dislike.

I personally do not want to use any applications that have ads/tracking. I don’t believe they have any place on Lemmy. I know already that I’m gonna be downvoted to oblivion, but I understand that these devs need to make money somehow. I just think it goes against the whole freer internet thing. Despite this, I don’t really have a problem with them because they are contributing to the growth of Lemmy. And besides it is way better than using a centralised social media platform haha, so it will remain a personal choice.

Mona for iOS is a dream.

Jerboa because you can see the number of upvotes and downvotes separately. And it’s FOSS.

Boost is still smoother and feels nicer though.

Listen to music. It’s something you can enjoy without using your eyes, so you can rest them especially if you work in front of a screen all day.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in What are your favorite names?

Some new twists on old names really captivate me, e.g. I met someone a while ago named Ianiel

scytale, in Favorite Mastodon client

I’m not on Mastodon often, but Tusker has been adequate for me on IOS. I heard you can even use it for Pixelfed.

I have a RSS reader that I check everyday for articles / blogposts from websites I subscribe to.

The interesting stuff gets saved in Wallabag to read later. It syncs with my phone, and I can read offline whenever I got some time to kill.

200ok,

What RSS reader do you use? Would you recommend it?

orizuru,

Depends on the effort.

If you want a newbie friendly one with syncing: Feedly

If you care about open source and controlling your own data (but don’t care about syncing). Maybe liferea? There are tons of options.

If you care about syncing and don’t mind self-hosting: miniflux.

I use miniflux, but requires some tech knowledge to set up.

200ok,

Thank you!

hulemy,

Any interesting feeds you’d recommend? My phone launcher has a built in RSS feed which is really nice

I follow the daily best posts on hacker news hnrss.github.io

This exposes me to quite interesting blogs (mainly tech, but not always). If I find someone worth following, I’ll add their blog to my list as well. That’s how I’ve been building my RSS feeds over the years.

From the non tech blogs that I’ve found there, from the top of my head, these are nice

going-medieval.com - medieval history professor’s blog. She’s quite witty, and makes super interesting posts about the daily lifes of people in the middle ages.

brr.fyi - blog from an IT guy working in a scientific research center in Antarctica.

SHamblingSHapes, in How do you spend your idle time?

Podcasts and audiobooks.

And I don’t get hung up on those being “better” than YouTube videos. There are educational videos and there is enjoyable fluff and there is actively crap content (think stuff that makes you go into negativity spirals).

Educational YT is the same as educational podcasts or audiobooks, imo.
