Lemmy is trying to be the new Reddit after all

I hated reading this, because it sure seems like it's the truth.

I don't get it. Does he think women grow hair when they're attracted to someone?

Wow, great suggestion. I assume you'll be contacting the people at my company in charge of defining when I must be at work?

This is the comment that's going to make me try it. I love my spreadsheet, so I'll have to see if this does everything that my spreadsheet does.

I just got my first computer controlled vehicle, a 2007 Volvo XC70. It's fucking insane. The same code scanner equipment and software that the dealership has access to needs to be included with the car at purchase, and that equipment needs to be universal to all vehicles of that model, so it's readily available on Ebay as cars go out of service. It's the only solution I can think of to keep auto manufacturers from charging way to much for it like they do all of their parts/tools. You also should get all of the files that are relevant to the car with the car, in case you need to reprogram a module from another car. This stuff should also be available in some sort of database or something, maybe even government hosted, in case the files that came with the car get lost.

Instead, community members are left to reverse engineer and scrounge around to get tools working on their own. It's genuinely insane how impossible it is to diagnose issues with modern vehicles as a home mechanic.

Sometimes you can't fix something simply because you can't replace a part with one from another car because it needs to be reprogrammed, but the dealership won't reprogram it, and they also won't give you the files so you can reprogram it yourself.

I'd rather get a cable that has the specs I need.

Well, duh, this would be more useful for those cables laying around your house that you've forgotten or never known the specs of.

I also realized that I just didn't need all of the functionality and such. In reality I just need a file sharing system akin to Google drive.

Recently? Email notifications for my crontab jobs. I learned that snapraid sync had been failing for 200 DAYS. I was thinking it'd be easy for some reason. It hasn't been.

Overall though, Nextcloud was a nightmare and I just gave up.

I use GrayJay/Revanced on Android and Enhancer for YouTube on Firefox (or any browser)

My electric skateboard still blows my mind. It's crazy how well it works as compared to gasoline skateboards.
