Find a nice used MK 7 Golf. Bonus if you get a Wolfsburg produced model. You can have all the nice modern features of android auto physical controls, and radar cruise control, but without the constant monitoring. You can get it with faster engines or AWD if that's your jam, or a diesel estate wagon if you live in the civilized side of the world. manual transmission avaliable too.

They're a popular platform with a strong community, albeit weak water pumps, so budget it in. the trunk is a black hole to store your shit.

James May said it was the best car for being a car or something like that, Clarkson owned a bunch of gti's as well.

I'd sure like a *.Flac of it if anyone can point to that direction.

'Frade not. They are currently executing union busting measures against their workers.

I bestow a rating of 4.8/5 penguins! You have put together such a cozy digital home for yourself! Cheers to you, may your Thinkpad bring you endless uptime hours of rhythmic key klacking, and may your dotfiles always remain backed up.

(0.2 point deduction because neofetch is depreciated)

Sadly should no longer be recommended. It's Mountain Equipment company now, and the enshittification is well underway.

At this point it's not so much a question as it is a statement

Could you do a solid prank for this random internet stranger and queue up the following:

8 x one favorite slightly annoying song ('moves like jagger', or 'we built this city' would be my suggestion)

1 x Photograph (pause for the unison sigh of relief from the patrons)

1+ x the same slightly annoying song played in a row already.

I'll bring popcorn.

Kinda reminds me of the rally fighter.

Seeneva. It's a comic reading app. I've taken to reading manga like "Go Go Loser Ranger" and "Akira" during the lulls where I would scroll mindlessly.

I am also using the same method and hoping the same thing. I doubt we will have to do the song and dance just because it is very much a developer feature test route and they have had extension functionality previously in the regular release.

Also looking forward to pulling back to stable build.

Fear not friend, you are not alone. I too am slowly switching over, and these things take time. We are truly victims of a great bait and switch, with our digital lives held hostage. We never asked for this.
