Two words I never thought I’d see together… poop drone.

I’m old school so an odometer should never do anything other than measure wheel rotations with a multiplier of circumference of the tire.

Maybe if you wanna get fancy have the multiplier occasionally recalibrated based on GPS but that’s it.

Well I guess it depends on when you bought it. If it was off eBay recently to try this new open platform that would be way less moronic.

Well shit… I don’t even think about that.

Why is the narrator always Ron Howard in my head?

Ah so more market manipulation… got it. Jesus I hate this douchebag.

It’s just a matter of time before those are enshittified as well.

Edit: ok my bad… apparently you can side load different launchers. I may check one of those out then.

I gotta comment on the mid 70s thing and how great it is to hear that. I have also been into computers since the late 70s (well and early 80s) although I imagine I got started a little younger than you ... like I was 8 and writing basic/ assembly on my various machines back in the day (TRS-80 Model III, Tandy CoCo 2, Coleco Adam, C64). So I'm only mid 50s and I thought I was the old guy around here :) But damn if you don't give me hope that I can stay like this for many years to come.

I'm not sure "Reddit levels of activity" is necessarily a good thing :)

But yeah that takes some getting used to for sure. I would think this is one of the more popular communities here for kinda obvious reasons given the nature of Lemmy. I've only been here since the first great migration but I've already seen Lemmy in general grow tremendously.
