I go raw, I trust my instance to defederate from the worst of it, but otherwise I don’t block people, communities or anything. I also browse by all and while I subscribe to communities it’s more for the future or something, because for now there’s just not enough content to curate my feed really.

It’s all good though because I switched to other sources for my specialist content (mainly YouTube) and Lemmy is just there for my obsessive scrolling.

The duality of humanity.

Right don’t get me wrong I dream of this too, but I’ve also had enough experience spending time in remote places to know that this comes with a drastic lifestyle change that isn’t very realistic at least not for right now for us.

Still toy with the idea of finding a happy medium though.

I entirely thought that this thread was going to be about the plane.

Helaas pindakaas…

Fucking hell I wasn’t prepared for the existential questions when I entered this thread.

Nederlander?

This used to work for me but these days the only way it works is if I pace myself with a big glass of water in between each alcoholic drink. The “chug a liter before bed” only somewhat helps now, but barely.

Crazy taxi???

My marriage. ^/s

Especially important if you have long canines and an allergy to sunlight, right Buffy?

As someone with 0 knowledge of Linux (and very little of programming/command lines in general), this thread reads funny AF.

Getting the visa is another story though.

They’re so cool but yeah it’s so “out there”.

These are pretty cool too!

I have this but not about being a softie, but about speaking too loud. I know I do it, I know it’s bad, I’m thankful when someone points it out so I can adjust, but I’m still mega pissed off for a moment when someone does.

Sorry if it came across as dismissive as that wasn’t my intention, I think it’s a great looking little thing, just that it’s not an alternative to a “real” car. It’s in a different (legal) category, can be driven without a license and can only access secondary roads etc (I don’t live in France anymore and not super aware of what category L6e can and cannot do but for example it definitely can’t go on the highway).

If all you need is to grab your groceries etc from the next village, then yes it looks like it could do that. It does look like it’s legit but still in preorder phase. Realistically I think most people buying this either don’t really need a car or have more vehicles and are getting this for the fun factor.

That last one. If they have plates it should mean it’s technically road legal as far as I know, but in the same sense a dune buggy can be road legal but you couldn’t really use one as your daily driver.

Was very intrigued but this isn’t a serious alternative, they themselves refer to it as a toy multiple times on the website (even comes in it’s own giant toy box).

Yes, came in here to say that, the fact they’re aware of their shortcomings puts them way ahead of the pack already.
