Glifted

I just switched back to Linux a week ago (Ubuntu Studio 24.04) from windows. I used to use Linux 15 years ago and I tried a lot of distros at that time. Eventually I landed on Crunchbang which I loved dearly.

Since it’s been awhile I wanted something fairly vanilla so Ubuntu Studio felt like a good start. I was planning on switching to something else (I hear we have Crunchbang++ now) after getting used to Linux again but I have kind of settled in to Ubuntu now. It feels a little sloppy but comfortable somehow.

The problem is what you’re looking for is far less common than it used to be.

The bottom has dropped out of the market. Cars under a certain value are usually scrapped and/or parted out. You will find them occasionally but it’s getting rare. In my local area I find that Craigslist has the best selection of beaters, but it’s still difficult to find anything worthwhile under $4000.

Might be time to consider a motorcycle, scooter, or e-bike of you can make it work

Edit: one more thing. There are ways to browse FB marketplace without an account.

I recommend autotempest as it searches multiple sites.

Like most polish dishes it sounds like it would be disgusting, looks disgusting, and probably tastes surprisingly good

Ya’ll need to start calling people dirt-hats

I’d be happy just having bikes be viable as an individualized transportation method. I’d much rather a 30-minute bike ride than a car ride every day

I think it’s around 10k but they’re trying to get it lower

Velomobiles are neat but the idea is more practically executed in something like the Electrom LEV

I used to be acquainted with a guy who would buy billboard time and put fake joke ads on them. This seems like something he’d put up

Discs are asexual. It’s why they can make offspring without a partner.

I want to be optimistic that the industry will learn from these failures but they only ever seem to learn the wrong lessons

It’s funny that it’s both visible and wrong

Even worse, I can identify most cars at night using just the taillight/headlight shape

Aging Wheels has a twike and has a couple of good videos of the vehicle

I know nothing will be done but it’s at least nice to hear someone official say it

Primarily I just think the difference is overall good design between the OS and the phone itself. There are a lot of little thoughtful details that improve the experience.

The ‘glyph’ lights are a good example. When I was researching the phone I thought they were just a gimmick. Like sure they’re neat and all but I didn’t really see much value added. However, in practice you start realizing how valuable they are.

The notifications lights can be customized so important ones turn on a light until the phone is checked. This makes ignoring your phone so much easier. The Glyph Timer is really useful, especially if you need a silent timer. There’s also a Glyph flashlight. This seems redundant at first because there’s already an LED flashlight on the back of the phone, like every other phone. However, the Glyph flashlight is much softer which is perfect for navigating a dark room where someone is sleeping.

People will point out that most of Nothing’s features can be replicated in some capacity on any Android phone. This is absolutely true, but I think they’re discounting how thoughtfully these details are implemented by Nothing on their phones.

…and just so it’s perfectly clear: I am VERY happy with Nothing OS and the 2a. Like, happy enough that my next phone will likely be a Nothing phone as well. It’s been the best out-of-box user experience I’ve ever had with a phone

I’m writing this on a 2a and the only thing ‘missing’ for me is an SD card slot but I’m told that’s out of fashion these days anyway

This is great. It’s like Shitpost-Prime. Half the comments are complaining about how it doesn’t make sense.

No one has even noticed that

• A “mini-burger” already has a name and it isn’t “mini-burger”
• The standard soda can shown is not a big soda
