I cut it down to just coffee and water. My phone keeps my brain “happy.”

Thanks for the rundown, I got used to spotlight when I was using macOS, and the main selling point for stuff like Alfred seemed to be things spotlight already did. What you describe seems way more useful.

I’ve seen launcher apps discussed for years and I’ve never seen an answer to the basic question of “what do they do?”

I never became a discord guy, but it seems like IRC (not federated the same way lemmy/mastodon/etc are but functionally similar) would meet the requirements.

Making every yard a vegetable garden may be impractical, not everyone has the time or inclination or know how to grow vegetables. There should be a native trees/shrubs/ground cover starter pack list for each US region with plant-and-ignore native plants to replace invasive grasses like st Augustine and Bermuda grass.

That’s the first thing that came to mind for me too. Is every parent of a “Mike” signing off on the teacher calling them that instead of “Michael?” What about a school nickname, like one based on a jersey number for football players? This is entirely to make trans kids feel alienated, and it’s fucking monstrous.

Sounds like the beginning of the Cory Doctorow novella “Unauthorized Bread.” Cloud service goes down and the main character’s toaster won’t work without them.

UBER ALLES CAAALIFORNIA!!

I guess I should take some first aid classes.

Pfft, that’s like 2 days’ drive, tops.

Why is Steve Jobs in the thumbnail? He’s been dead for more than a decade.

Jesse Ventura has said his share of bonkers stuff, but his recent comments that making any more than $12 million a year is ridiculous is pretty much the most reasonable thing anyone in national politics has said regarding the wealthy.
