I had a Chevrolet Vitara (for Venezuela… for US people it would be a Suzuki Vitara) that my father bought in 1998 and gave me when I was 17.

First car I “owned”, used for 6 years, never had to repair it or anything at all, took me everywhere without problems and since it was a small 2 door it fit everywhere.

I took my friends with it, my parents, traveled with it, etc. Also, surprisingly, we never had to do any repairs to the car since 1998 up until 2021 when my dad sold it because it was almost dead. That car was the best and I miss it.

Then I got a Dodge Dakota from 2002, it was good but I didn’t like it as much as the Vitara.

Now I drive a VW Gol (2005), good car, a little fucked up.

From Brasil!

No way I’ve been living for 3 decades and using computers for 2, and I am learning this information in 2023…

Tea with milk is the best thing ever. Everybody always looks at me weird when I put milk in my tea. They’re just missing out, to be honest.

The worst part is that one of my friends doesn’t mind putting milk in Pepsi but has the audacity to look at me funny when I put milk in tea.

Just shut down the damn app by this point, man.

It’s probably not as bad as some of the comments I’m reading here, but it was about Demon Salyer. I met my wife’s little cousin (she is 12yo) about a month ago, and she was talking about anime (Demon Slayer, in this case) and she asked me who my favorite character was.

I had finished the manga, so I told her that I didn’t have any because none of them really spoke to me and asked her what was her favorite. She said it was Shinobu because it was “her comfort character” (I had no clue what that meant at that moment), and not having thought about the fact that not everyone read the manga, I immediately said that:

I realized my fuck up when she started just tearing up, didn’t know what to do so I said I was really sorry and left.

I’m not a grammar expert and English is not my first language but I think I used to say this before and I just ended up taking out the “what it is” and changed it for the thing I’m trying to remember:

There’s a thing that I don’t know the name of

Or

There’s a thing that I don’t know how to describe

Or

There’s a thing whose purpose is a mystery to me

Is that what you’re refering to? Sorry if it’s not. I don’t think any of the first three examples are correct, or at least they sound really weird to me.

Please do correct me if there’s an English mayor somewhere though!

This reminds me the other day I was in my house stressed because I couldn’t install Cyberpunk 2077 on Fedora (I’m new to Linux so I don’t know much and I had been distro hopping).

My MIL was in the house and she saw my screen filled with open terminals, documentation, lutris, wine, everything you can imagine open because I had no idea how to solve a stupid issue.

I heard her tell my wife “wow he must be pretty busy, he must be doig something really important and it’s so impressive that he can read code like that I didn’t know he could do that”

All I wanted to do was to play some damn game bro…

Now it’s making a lot more sense, thank you so much!

Article 25(3)©: For the purpose of facilitating the commission of such a crime, aids, abets or otherwise assists in its commission or its attempted commission, including providing the means for its commission

Sorry, but can someone ELI5 this one for me?

Although I (think I) speak/write English very well, it’a still not my native language and this specific article was extremely confusing for me, I don’t really understand what it means

I joined the waitlist months ago and all I heat is Bluesky is growing but I still have no news about being able to use it…

For the next time, if you want .flacs, just use Soulseek.

Option 1: Firefox (or any firefox variant like Floorp, Waterfox or LibreWolf) + uBlock Origins, if that doesn’t work -

Option 2: avoid the sites, don’t give them traffic, and -

Option 3: if you really need to read that article, use 12ft ladder and it will probably work.

I use: 1 copy in my primary SSD on my laptop 1 copy in my secondary SSD on same laptop, which autosyncs to: 1 copy in OneDrive family plan 1 copy on an external SSD

Kind of based on the 3-2-1 method.

I wouldn’t be able to use more of my medication, so if I keep taking NSAIDS every day, then until I have kidney/liver failure. I don’t know how long would that be.

That’s of course not accounting for someone trying to murder me to get the NSAIDS they couldn’t get, or someone else trying to murder me for my belongings/food. Since I have arthritis I can’t really defend myself so… Yeah.

I did talk to my wife about this on one of those drunken conversations and we both agreed to just end it when we see no other way because we both need medication to live.

Honestly, I use FF as my primary on Linux, and Waterfox as my primary on Windows (just because it runs better than FF on Windows fir some reason). Vivaldi I use as a secibdary browser when:

1. I need to visist a website that for some stupid reason doesn’t open on FF
2. When I’m studying or need to have several tabs open at the same time (by several I mean 100+, Vivaldi has really good tab management)

EDIT: I sent the reply without answering the question, I’m dumb. Anyways, some people like Vivaldi, some don’t. If you ask in a Privacy forum (and especially Lemmy) you will find less favorable opinions of Vivaldi.

My suggestion at the end of the day is just try it out and try to make your own research on how it was created and who is in charge. As I’ve undestood until now (don’t know if it has changed) is that the only thing proprietary about Vivaldi is the design(? Idk, someone correct me if I’m wrong) and that the CEO is not an.asshole (yet)

Just started using their search engine about 2 months ago, as soon as I heard the news I just dropped it.

I like the idea but if I want to send data to bing I’d use bing tbh.

Wait, I do a similar one to the twist and tuck but what I do is that I twist it and then partially re-cover the remaining breads, would that put me with the twist and tuck people or an I something else?

This reminds me what I did in Best Buy once. They have (or had?) A return/exchange policy of 2 weeks, so I went to get a huge TV, but I was not sure if I really wanted it.

So I bought a Samsung 75" Smart TV, two weeks later, said I didn’t like it, exchanged it for an LG, 2 weeks later, said the same thing, exchanged it for a Vizio, and so on.

I ended up temporarily owning like 5-6 different smart TVs within a little over 3 months until I decided I no longer wanted it and returned it.

Did the same thing with headsets with 7 different pairs until I got the Sony XM3. US return/exchange policies go hard simetimes.

They can obviously track pirated installs.

They use computational predictions and quantum mathematical calculations through a software called trust me bro.
